What Are The Lizard People To Do?

Two third-rate minds of the center right have come to the same conclusion. Glenn Reynolds, a moderate Hefnerian and a transhumanist, wrote in the New York Post,

It’s time to admit it. Less than a year in, Joe Biden’s is a failed presidency. Biden knows it, the press knows it, and voters know it. And our foreign adversaries like China and Russia know it. Somehow, the cabal that put Biden in power will scheme to winkle him out of power. It is unlikely to be as straightforward as it was with Richard Nixon. Biden is not hated so much as he is held in contempt. And with Nixon, the Democrats were fortunate that his vice-president, Spiro Agnew, was corrupt in a good, old-fashioned, straightforward political way. It turns out that he liked simple brown bags, especially ones filled with cash. Agnew would have been as unacceptable as Kamala Harris, but the blatant corruption made it easy to get rid of him before proceeding to tackle the big fish of Richard Nixon.

As I say, I doubt removing Joe Biden will be so easy. It will be interesting to see what the deep-state committee comes up with. They put him in power, instructing Bernie Sanders and the other Democrats to drop out in 2020, and they will figure out a way to remove him from the 2024 presidential equation. It’s also time to look at the “cabal” of business, labor and political leaders who foisted the Biden administration on us. That won’t be hard, as they were openly bragging about their efforts less than a year ago.

. . . As Time magazine reported shortly after the 2020 election, a “cabal” — Time’s word — of “left-wing activists and business titans” worked to get rid of Trump. It pushed mail-in voting. It moved to block election fraud suits brought by Trump and supporters. It employed social media censorship to mute pro-Trump arguments and amplify anti-Trump arguments. It sponsored protests.

Over the weekend, Roger Kimball, a truly awful writer who is apparently respected for being well-respected, said (after the usual pompous and gratuitous references to Aristotle and Dr Johnson),

I continue to cling to the conviction [Biden] will not remain the occupant of the White House through to the morning of January 20, 2025. . . . If I am even remotely correct about this, Biden’s situation presents the unnamed committee who actually runs the presidency with a huge and delicate problem. Biden’s behavior long ago passed from embarrassing to dangerous. We can see that all around us.

After detouring through Mt Vesuvius and 79 AD, he continues,

I first mentioned Agnew fully six months ago, also in the context of the lizard people. It's taken two crack Ivy League public intellectuals this long to reach the same conclusion.

I think it's also taken several days for the full impact of Biden's January 19 press conference to sink in. Indeed, I would guess that many on Kimball's committee are still in denial. But Rand Paul has said out loud what many more people are clearly thinking behind the scenes: this guy is dangerous. He should not be making decisions in matters where he's already been a disaster:

Fox News' Pentagon correspondent is reporting early Saturday that all family members of US embassy personnel in Kiev, Ukraine have been ordered to evacuate. "State Department orders families of U.S. embassy personnel in Ukraine to begin evacuating the country as soon as Monday: U.S. officials," Fox's Lucas Tomlinson reports.

It first emerged Friday that the Biden administration was mulling a plan to evacuate diplomats' family members from Ukraine as a "precautionary measure" amid the continued crisis wherein Washington has predicted some level of a Russian offensive on the Ukraine border.

The problem is that the lizard people haven't updated their plan since mid 2020, when the decision was taken to nominate Biden but appease Sanders by pushing his agenda. On Friday, Press Secretary Psaki consoled the Bernie bros (and sisters) by telling them to have a margarita but keep on fighting come Monday morning. And Bernie dominates today's talks:

The star guest: Progressive-in-chief Bernie Sanders, who’ll chat with “Meet the Press” and “State of the Union” about his effort to ringlead primary challenges to Manchin and Sinema but mostly Sinema. He’ll also discuss the prospects for a revived, if pared down, version of Build Back Better.

Plan A is toast. There's no Plan B.
