LETTER TO THE EDITOR: The jackass in the room

Published 12:10 pm Monday, April 22, 2024

I find it quite humorous, just NOT funny, that the major party symbols are so appropriate to the respective parties. The expression ‘Elephant in the Room’ has been heard lately when referring to the present ‘leadership’ of the Democratic Party…one Joe Biden. Some have speculated that it might be Jill, or Obama or Soros, Oprah or even the Devil himself? But whom/what-ever the ‘elephant’ is, we do know who the ‘Jackass in the Room’ is.

A quick look-see at the current events, broadcast daily for all to see, gives one pause as to determine who exactly IS running the ‘show’.

It is only fitting that the DONKEY is the Democrat Party symbol making their ‘leader’ THE JACKASS IN THE ROOM. You see, honestly, the donkey and the JACKASS are the same animal after all. A DONKEY is a domesticated Equine derived from an African Wild Ass and a JACK is the adult male…hence; JACKASS.

How much more appropriate can that be?

So, for the last 3 plus years we were, and still are, being led by a JACKASS who replaced an Elephant (the GOP’s symbol) and now we desire to do some more replacing again…make that ‘must’ do some more replacing.

Why would I refer to President Joe Biden as a Jackass? Please continue reading to find out:

1. We are being kept in the dark as to WHO is the real Joe Biden. He appears to be a senior citizen , American, who has lost a step or two, a guy handled by his ‘handlers’ and a blank-stare gazer. Should his teleprompter fail, Joe is lost. Even if his teleprompter does not fail, Joe is lost. And when he wanders off script and expresses what is really on his mind…Joe seems really lost.

Should we allow this to continue for a second term, America as we know it will be lost.

2. In order for the people of the USA to really get to know what Joe is babbling about he has chosen as his press-secretary Ms Kareeen St. Something to inform the press (who then informs us) exactly what Joe MEANT to say. How very nice of her, but she does NOT do that at all. She, instead, reads from prepared scripts of stock answers or switches to scripts of Joe’s FABULOUS accomplishments

Would the world be a better place if Kareeen were replaced with an artificial intelligence (AI) version or has she mastered just that? Would we then get a straight answer to even a simple yes-no question? Is that TOO much to expect from this Administration? We can always hope…and pray…

3. CONSISTENCY; noun; Agreement or logical coherence among things or parts.

Joe Biden, ironically, displays consistency! He is consistently inconsistent.

When one sways in the wind whenever it changes direction for political advantage purposes, you ARE consistent. A RACIST in the past said V.P. Kammie during a debate…a pal of segregationists in the past, and a known teller of lies (a liar.)…but a consistent one.

One of MY greatest fears is that YOU will soon abandon your quest, either by choice or by boot. You might yearn for the comfort of your basement near the beach 24/7/365 and I will have to start all over again. Joe, I hate when that happens…that’s a lot of work and I am getting on in my years…much like yourself.

All I think about these days is how nice it will be when THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM returns.
