In a political twist that feels more like a bad comedy sketch than reality, Joe Biden seems to be taking the slowest Irish goodbye in the history of presidencies. While the rest of us might slip out of a gathering quietly, Biden appears determined to leave with as much fanfare and awkwardness as possible. With a record-low approval rating that hovers around the scary end of the spectrum—35.6% overall—he’s putting on a farewell show that is as painful as watching a toddler try to parallel park.
Let’s picture the scene: Biden, sitting on a cushion in the Oval Office (seriously, a pillow), attempting to deliver a valedictory address that has all the charm of a wax statue melting in the sun. Not only is he battling low numbers, but his departure looks more desperate than dignified. As the countdown to his exit begins, it’s almost like watching a sitcom character getting written off, leaving behind a trail of chaos for the next showrunner to deal with. His speech, predictably filled with the usual liberal alarmism about social media and misinformation, did little to convince anyone that he was going out with anything resembling grace.
Meanwhile, his son, the famously colorful Hunter Biden, is making headlines as he carries on with his ever-entertaining antics. Imagine trying to have a serious conversation about the state of the nation while your son is scrambling around the White House trying to stash “little baggies” in the couch cushions. It’s hard to focus on the president’s words about tech giants and moral decay when one’s mind drifts to wondering if those baggies are filled with more than just candy.
One can’t help but chuckle as the Democrats, in their usual communication crisis, continue to deflect blame. With a disapproval rating of 61% for Biden and Trump’s approval soaring over 50%, the only successful spin from these folks seems to be their persistent ability to dodge accountability for their policies. It’s like a game of musical chairs—except nobody wants to sit next to the guy who keeps saying this time will be different when it’s clear it never is.
But let’s not forget the sentimental elements of this departure. Jill Biden, ever the supportive spouse, seems to find herself gushing over odd connections, like her fleeting on-screen romance with Doug Mhof. As if that wasn’t cringing enough, it’s hard to ignore the fact that this is the same administration that once asked the American public to trust it with national matters. The whole thing feels like a reality show gone wrong, where the finale is about as smooth as a bull in a china shop.
As Biden bids adieu, it’s hard to say farewell without a sense of relief mixed with a bit of humor. His parting message—heavy on warnings about oligarchies and misinformation—smacks of a last-minute scapegoating attempt. But let’s be real; if he’s accusing social media of being a danger to democracy, perhaps he should have turned the mirror around and examined his own actions first. It’s been one wild ride, folks, and as Biden prepares to exit stage left, America is simply waiting for the curtain to drop. Good riddance, Joe; the next act better be one for the ages!
