'One Bad Night' ain't All it Was

   How dare you try to shrug it off, Joe 
     as 'one bad night' 
   when you didn’t deliver...
     
   ...Just like you didn’t deliver on Afghanistan, or
      on picking a competent VP, or
      on ending COVID school lockdowns, or
      on reigning in reckless government spending, or
      on combating skyrocketing inflation, or
      on maintaining order at our southern border, or
      on giving Ukraine what it needed to stop Putin, or
      on keeping the pressure on Hamas instead of on Israel, or
      on telling the truth about Hunter’s laptop, or
      on supporting women’s sports for biological women only
      on fighting unprecedented urban crime and disorder, or
      on so much more

   Your failure to deliver on debate night
      once more reflects your utter lack of insight
      demonstrates why you have absolutely no right
         to continue to make a mockery of us
           in this, America’s darkest night

   Joe! Give up your maddeningly selfish fight
     for the Presidency ~ you’re too far gone to see the light

Right on, Gershon, with this very insightful verse! This clown has done much more to destroy democracy and lead this great nation to perdition than any other president during my lifetime and I've witnessed them all from Hoover to date. Oops! I'm revealing my age!

he may not be able to see the light but I think he could trip over it...

Yep, his age and mental decline are only a secondary issue. It’s his disastrous policies and contempt for middle America that have failed Americans so badly. He’s a puppet of the radical left and needs to go. The only threat to American democracy is the Democrat elites.
