Showing his surly side, 77-year-old President-elect Joe Biden called 74-year-old President Donald Trump and “embarrassment” for not throwing in the towel on the 2020 Election. Trump and the Republican Party aren’t happy about the universal mail-in ballots that opened the door to unspecified voter fraud, numerically favoring Democrats who had a registration advantage to Republicans. But Biden should be the last person hurling insults when he was shielded by the corrupt mainstream press that refused to run the Oct. 14 New York Post story about the treasure trove of emails incriminating Joe and his family on his 50-year-old Hunter’s disabled laptop found abandoned at a Delaware computer repair shop. Hunter’s disabled laptop gave proof that Joe was involved in Hunter’s business dealings in China, Russia and Ukraine, netting Joe and the Biden family millions of dollars.
Joe says Trump is an “embarrassment” because he refuses to concede an election riddled with fraud, whether the Trump campaign can prove it or not. Biden went back on a rant today about the Affordable Care Act AKA Obamacare that the Supreme Court took up today. “The consequences of the Trump administration’s argument are not academic or an abstraction. For many Americans, they are a matter of life and death in the literal sense,” Biden said, saying nothing about Pfizer’s news about their new corronavirus AKA SARS Cov-2 or Covid-19 vaccine. No, Bdien talked about old news that has zero relevance because the Supreme Court is expected to uphold Obamacare. But not a word on Trump’s remarkable accomplishment of creating a vaccine in record time. No, Biden and his 56-year-old VP-elect Kamala Harris told voters not to trust the vaccine because it was developed on Trump’s watch.
Today’s Supreme Court arguments made clearer than ever before that Obamacare would withstand the latest GOP lawsuit. Today’s GOP arguments were a rehash of 2012 when Roberts ‘ ruled that the Obamacare mandate and penalty was a legitimate tax. Today the GOP attorneys general argued that the whole law needed to be tossed out because the individual mandate was deemed unconstitutional by the 5th Court of Appeals in Eastern Louisiana in 2019. Roberts and Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh disagreed with GOP arguments, saying the individual mandate was “severable” from the Affordable Care Act [ACA], hinting they’d vote with the court’s liberal minority to preserve the act. But Biden instead chose to use his time to rehash old campaign talking points, rather than celebrate the Pfizer’s completion of the first Covid-19 vaccine, something that rocketed up the stock market.
Kamala Harris also got into the act, diverting attention away from Trump’s accomplishment that he talked about on the debate stage. Trump promised a vaccine sometime near the election, something Joe disputed saying a vaccine wouldn’t be ready until next summer. Well, here’s another example of Joe and Kamala using the vaccine development to trash Trump’s handing to the Covid-19 crisis. “Each and every vote for Joe Biden was a vote to protect and expand the Affordable Care Act, not to tear it away in the midst of a global pandemic,” Kamala said. “And Joe Biden won the election decisively,” showing that voters believed her spin. Trump said that his new Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett wouldn’t necessarily rule against the ACA as Democrats insisted. It’s clear from today’s Supreme Court arguments that Republicans’ challenge would eventually fail.
Biden and Harris were right that going after Obamacare was suicidal for Trump, trying to score points before the election. Pushing for the Barrett nomination to the Supreme Court allowed Democrats to win the Obamacare issue with millions of potential voters. Confirming Barrett also raised concerns, rightfully or wrongfully, about Roe v. Wade, something unlikely to change with her presence on the Court. Yet it became a good talking point for Joe and Kamala leading up to the election–another miscalculation by Trump and Republicans. Biden wants Trump to concede but he doesn’t want to address Trump’s concerns about Joe’s potentially criminal conduct while VP, orchestrating multimillion dollar deals for Hiunter and his brother Jim in China, Russia and Ukraine. Trump hopes he can litigate his way back into a second term, something highly unlikely.
Biden rebuked Trump for not conceding the election, when it was called for him Saturday, November 7 by the Associated Press and all major networks, including Fox News. “Tt’s an embarrassment quite frankly . . . I think it will not help the president’s legacy,” referring to Trump’s attempts to contest the results. There’s nothing the Supreme Court can do to reverse the outcome of the Nov. 3 election, where Biden captured a whopping 77, 055,037 popular votes, 290 Electoral votes, to Trump’s 72,088,188 popular votes, 214 Electoral votes. Unless there’s indisputable proof of voter fraud, Trump will have to send for United Van Lines to move him, Melania and Baron back to Trump Tower. Once Trump gives yo, Congress must look into the advisability of universal mail-in ballots for future elections, knowing that it gave Democrats and unfair electoral advantage.
