This is a massive scandal. Americans have been denied their right to representative government by everyone who allowed Biden to be a corrupt, incompetent, figurehead as unelected minions ran the country. Everyone who was complicit in this needs to be removed to held to account. Mike Johnson is not a hero here. He is an accomplice.
Everyone from Mike Johnson to members of Joe Biden‘s own staff are commenting on the 82-year-old president’s noticeable decline in the last days of his presidency.
Johnson, who will retain his position as Speaker of the House, said that Biden bewilderingly told him in a January 2024 meeting that he ‘didn’t do’ an executive order that he had signed months earlier.
The order, announced on January 26 and still available on the White House website, placed a temporary pause on pending approvals of liquefied natural gas exports.
Johnson told The Free Press he asked Biden: ‘Sir, why did you pause LNG exports to Europe? Liquefied natural gas is in great demand by our allies. Why would you do that?’
Biden was surprised and said he didn’t, leaving Johnson stunned.
‘He genuinely didn’t know what he had signed and I walked out of that meeting with fear and loathing because I thought, ‘We are in serious trouble – who is running the country?’ Like, I don’t know who put the paper in front of him, but he didn’t know.’

Biden’s unfitness for the job was glaringly obvious as early as the beginning of the 2020 primary season and never became less so. Every live appearance was a new demonstration of that fact. There was no coverup. Biden’s incapacities were regularly broadcast for all to see. If you didn’t see this it’s your own damned fault. If you did see it and believed the man still capable of performing the job description, you pretty much label yourself as naive beyond belief.
If you’re honest with yourself you’ll also recognize that the DC Republicans were okay with this ‘managing’ of a puppet in the presidency. They chased criminality while completely ignoring obvious mental incapacity. A thinking person might arrive at the conclusion that Republicans embrace the basic concept of puppetry of the presidency as long as they get to eventually work the strings themselves.
Old Nikita wasn’t wrong.
You are far too kind to the Republicans, Merlin.
Every. Damn. One. of those bitc**s knew that Biden was on the take from at least one foreign country while he was VP, and probably knew he was on the take when he was in the Senate.
The Sound of Crickets. That’s the title of a new song about Congress’ ethics.
I don’t know Dad29, I would say “Meh”. If Republicans had spoken out they would all just have been ridiculed and censored by the Dems and their media allies. it would have changed nothing to speak out and everyone knew it. Libs had long ago decided to call every non-liberal a liar on any and every politically connected subject and that continues. I can’t think of a single lib I know and speak to, and there are a lot of them, who would have said that KH was even a sub-par POTUS candidate, much less completely incompetent.

The Red Badge of Courage saga ended in 1865, eh?
it would have changed nothing to speak out and everyone knew it.
Maybe, maybe not. Does that justify not only TOLERANCE of treason, but omerta furthering it?
Most of Government is either tolerant of or committing treason by 1865 standards, but 90+% of Americans vote for the same criminals every election. You want courage, vote against the main two parties? You want to blame anyone, blame yourself for voting for them…over and over and over.
People who vote for the 2 main parties in the US today accept extreme corruption in Government, my comment accepted that as fact. I can’t help it you just want to rail against treason even while supporting it.
