If you’re as overwhelmed by all the incompetence as Joe is by a set of stairs, here’s your refresher course for year No. 3.
Congratulations, America — you’ve survived your third year of being bossed around by Joe “Big Guy” Dementia Biden. You might be poorer, more depressed, and more likely to end up drafted for a foreign war than you were when he hobbled into the White House three years ago last Saturday, but you’ve finally made it to the year you get to vote him out, if you’re smart enough.
In January 2022, we brought you “A Scandal For Every Month: The Biggest Botches, Failures, And Mess-Ups Of Joe Biden’s First 12 Months In Office.” Last January, there was another year of disasters to catalogue. If you’re like me, you’re probably losing track of all the scandals and which ones happened when. If it’s making your head spin, just think how confused poor Joe is!
If you’re as overwhelmed by all the incompetence as Joe is by a set of stairs, here’s your refresher course for year No. 3.
January: Classified Documents Scandal
It’s been a long year, but remember when classified documents were found in insecure locations everywhere from Biden’s office at the Penn Biden Center to next to the Corvette in his garage?
The initial trove of documents from Biden’s time as vice president, including some reportedly “top secret” files, was found in November 2022. But in January of last year, the FBI found more “documents with classification markings and surrounding materials,” from his time as VP and senator, at Biden’s home (after cooperating nicely with the president). The scandal was quickly hushed up, despite the fact that Biden’s Justice Department had executed a dramatic raid on former President Trump’s home based on accusations of a similar documents snafu months earlier.
February: Biden Snubs East Palestine After Train Disaster
Joe Biden may not have been at fault for the derailment of a train traveling through East Palestine, Ohio, or the subsequent burning of toxic chemicals from it, but his administration went out of its way to react with incompetence and cruelty. As residents, plagued by severe health problems from toxic dust and smoke, were forced out of their homes, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg waited a week and a half before finally acknowledging the crisis. Eighteen days after the Feb. 3 disaster, Buttigieg responded to a reporter asking him to share a message with the “suffering” Ohioans by telling her he was too busy “taking some personal time.”
Buttigieg didn’t bother to go to East Palestine until Trump made a stop there in the weeks following the disaster to meet with residents and hand out clean water. Biden still hasn’t deigned to visit his East Palestine constituents. Instead, his Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) told Ohio’s leadership that East Palestine wouldn’t be receiving federal aid — until the Trump visit apparently embarrassed FEMA into reversing course.
Honorable mention: February also saw the Biden administration allow a Chinese spy balloon to float across the continental U.S. before attempting to blame the security failure on the Trump administration…
