Urging 77-year-old former Vice President and Democrat nominee Joe Biden to skip the debates with 74-year-old Donald Trump, 80-year-old House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) repeated her previous Aug. 27 on CBS “This Morning,” when asked if she still believes Joe should not debate Trump. “I do, not that I don’t think he’ll be excellent, I just think that the president has no fidelity to fact or the truth,” Pelosi said, making no sense. If she really thought Joe would beat Trump in the debate, you’d think it would help his chances on Nov. 3. Pelosi often accuses Trump the very things she’s guilty of, a lack of “fidelity to the Constitution of the United States.” Pelosi said Sept. 20 when she said she would consider impeaching Trump to stop him from replacing the late Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Pelosi said she has more “arrows in her quiver.”
Pelosi has so much “fidelity to the Constitution of the United States,” she’s willing to abuse her Article 1 impeachment power to start another proceeding against Trump, this time for daring to replace Justice Ginsburg. Pelosi can’t possibly think that appointing a High Court replacement by an incumbent in an Election Year is a high-crime-and-misdemeanor. Yet Pelosi says Trump has no “fidelity to the Constitution.” Pelosi filed two impeachment articles against Trump not for high-crimes-and-misdemeanors but because things didn’t work out with the 22-month, $40 million Special Counsel investigation, conducted by 75-year-old former FBI Director Robert Mueller. How much “fidelity to the Constitution” did former FBI Director James Comey have when he opened a counterintelligence investigation based on “probable cause” from former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s fake dossier.
Pelosi has so much “fidelity” to the Constitution, she had no problem joining her fellow House Democrats accusing Trump of Russian collusion in the 2016 presidential campaign when she knew Hillary’s dossier was filled with Russian disinformation and outright fabrications by 56-year-old former MI6 British spy Christopher Steele. “Why bother?” Pelosi asked, Trump will just lie his way in the debate. But Democrats, especially Biden, only tell the truth, like when he said with a straight face Sept. 18 that Trump was responsible for 200,000 Covid-19 deaths. Biden and Pelosi have so much “fidelity” to the truth that they lay the blame on Trump for the deadly coronavirus AKA CoV-2 or Covid-19 global pandemic. Both are so honest they’ve made Covid-19 the No. 1 2020 campaign issue. Pelosi or Biden know that if the shoe were on the other foot, Democrats would have done no better, maybe worse, managing the virus.
Pelosi’s real anxiety concerns Joe’s memory that shows all of his 77-years and then some. When Joe faces Trump Sept. 28 in the first debate in Cleveland, he says he’ll be “fact-checking” Trump, something doubtful when he’s forced to answer Fox News Chris Wallace’s questions. While Wallace is no fan of Trump, Joe will be forced to talk about some specifics about how he would have done things differently managing the Covid-19 crisis, so far only saying he’d mandate face-coverings in federal jobs. Joe doesn’t want to answer his backing of the Iraq War, but even more controversial, toppling Col. Muammar Gaddafi Oct. 20, 2011 on his watch. Toppling Gaddafi, like the Iraq War, opened the floodgates of radical Islamic terrorism in Libya, resulting in the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, killing 52-year-old U.S. Amb. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
Trump’s been very clear about his opposition to involving the U.S. military in endless Mideast wars, something former President Barack Obama and Biden continued during his eight years in office. Trump will remind Biden about his backing of the Saudi proxy war in Syria, causing 500,000 deaths and displacing 15 million Syrians to neighboring countries and Europe. Forced immigration quotas from Syria on the European Union pushed the U.K. to pass Brexit June 23, 2016, eventually breaking off from the EU Jan. 31. Biden wants to talk about the success of the Obama-Biden economy that had real U.S. Gross Domestic Product [GDP] at less-than two percent for eight years in office. Pelosi, like other Democrats, worry that Biden could get surly, possibly combative, if Trump raises his 50-year-old son Hunter’s work on a corrupt Ukrainian energy company board.
Since winning the Democrat nomination June 5, even before, Biden doesn’t take direct questions from the press, instead prefers to orchestrate press events with carefully scripted questions-and-answers. Things will be different Sept. 28 when Wallace asks questions of both candidates, letting voters decide who answer them best. Pelosi doesn’t want Joe debating because she thinks Joe has the presidency wrapped up, so why take any chances with debates. Pelosi was asked about her ongoing feud with Trump, admitting it helps her fund-raise. “Well, I don’t care what he says about me. Every knock from him is a boost for me. If he wants to help me raise money, he can keep knocking me,” Pelosi said, admitting that she benefits from the tiff. Whether admitted to or not, Biden has low expectations going into the debates. If he survives without a major gaffe, it’s a big win.
