There was an important omission from my post yesterday. It didn’t properly take into consideration Barack Obama’s injunction, “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f *** things up.”
If President Biden continues to exhibit cognitive decline in the manner of the last two years, the 25th Amendment won’t be invoked. After all, he’s already f***ed up a heckuva lot. He’s probably doing so at this very moment, even though the media will likely describe his actions as Churchillian.
But I concede that the pace of Biden’s deterioration, plus his long-standing propensity to f*** things up, doesn’t preclude a catastrophic act or omission that could render invocation of the 25th Amendment plausible.
