Getting Ready To Exhale After Four Years Of Biden And Democrats

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

Depending on what time you’re reading this column, our long national nightmare is either nearly over or is over. Either way, it’s time to exhale.

Joe Biden was a horrible President and is a horrible person. But, in a testament to the greatness of the United States of America, we survived. It didn’t always seem like we would, but we made it.

Now Joe can go sit on his bony ass, puttering around either of his mansion and wait for what is left of his mind to fade into the fog of dementia. There will likely be talk of a memoir, but there is no audience for it. How can someone who doesn’t remember what they had for breakfast write their memories of the last four years? 

It doesn’t matter, it’s about the check, as that memoir is the last thing Joe has left to sell.

After 50 years of influence peddling and his family selling access to him (and probably his votes), the Biden well is as empty as his head. Joe’s brother and son are left with a pile of Lehman Brothers stock. Remember when Hillary Clinton lost in 2016 and donations to the Clinton “charities” dwindled? They had nothing left to sell, so there was no reason for the major corporations and foreign governments to keep “donating” to them. Well, Biden, INC. is in the same boat.

From this day forward, the American people can set about rinsing our collective mouths out to rid us of the taste of the Biden administration. Metaphorically, of course, not in the way one of Hunter Biden’s tricks would. 

We will never get those years back, we will never get the money back he wasted, and it will take some time to claw the value of the money we earn back from the inflation monster Joe created. But one thing we can be sure of: things will stop getting worse.

With Joe Biden in the Oval Office there was a tension hanging over everything – a sense of “Oh God, what is he doing to do or say next?” dread that never went away. He gave money to Iran, he left a mid-size nation’s worth of advanced weaponry in Afghanistan, we will only hear rumors about the amount of unaccounted for money and weapons filtered through Ukraine to God only knows where. 

It all ends today.

I do hope President Trump does authorize, or order, a thorough audit of the Biden administration. You’re never going to be able to prosecute him – he’s not home in his head anymore – but just so we know. Declassify everything, let the country see what it was he did and who was really behind the various decisions. 

We know Joe wasn’t in charge for at least the last two years, if not the whole time. Who were the unelected people who made the decisions? More importantly, who were the people who helped cover up Joe’s senility?

Yes, in the larger sense it was all of them, to one degree or another. But who gave the first order? What is Ron Klain, the former Chief of Staff, or was it Jill? Was it someone else? 

We need to know if the call to hide Joe from the American public was a conscious one at a specific moment, or if it was one that evolved, bit by bit, over time.

We need to know the how and who so we can both prevent it from ever happening again, and so we can punish the perpetrators. I don’t mean criminally, I’m not sure what the crime would even be, but so we can hold them accountable in society. 

One thing that always happens after a Democrat administration ends it there is a massive flood of high-profile administration officials making their way from government into the legacy media and corporate America, which is weird because the media whines about Republicans moving into media (on the rare occasion it happens) and blame corporate America for the failures of their liberal policies. But we aren’t dealing with honest people here.

Resolve yourself to make the cleansing of our collective pallet complete by refusing to patronize whatever organization hires someone like Karine Jean-Pierre, Pete Buttigieg, Jennifer Granholm or any other administration official you can recognize. It doesn’t have to be organized, it can just be you – because a bunch of “yous” adds up.

That’s the accountability we need – no government involvement, just citizens refusing to patronize anywhere that hires those who did so much damage to the country. We can’t catch Joe this way, he’s done. But let it all be a festering part of his legacy so everyone remembers (except him) how horrible his term was. 

Then, exhale again, knowing that it’s over, finally. Thank God.
