Chipper Biden Gives Post-Election Remarks

Arriving at 11: 24 a. m. for his appointed 11 a. m. notes,” President” Joe Biden addressed writers, employees, and a joyful state from the White House Rose Garden. He appeared sharp and intelligent, more so than he had in decades, perhaps even decades. ( For what it’s for, I watched the spread on the Fox News YouTube channel, and the life opinions supply to the right of the screen was riddled with irony, MAGA, and laughter. The short speech may be re-watched on their YouTube channel below.

After taking a moment to say” Good morning” a few times and give a shout-out to his granddaughter, who was sitting in the audience ( Finn, not Navy ), Biden launched into his remarks, speaking for about eight minutes.

” For over 200 years, America has carried on the greatest trial in self-government in the history of the world. That’s not narrative, that’s a point. We’re the citizens. The citizens voting and choose their own leaders, and they do it calmly, and we’re in a democracy. The will of the people generally prevails”. Yeah, right — tell that to the Swamp, which did everything it could to dismantle President Trump’s second term.

” Monday, I spoke with President-elect Trump to thank him on his success, and I assured him that I directed my whole management to work with his staff to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition”, Biden related. His only self-righteous allusion to the decency and superiority of Democrats in favor of handing over power ( as opposed, you know, Nazi Dictator Trump ) is self-righteous.

Kamala Harris ‘ performance was jokingly lauded by Biden. ” Monday, I also spoke with Vice President Harris. She’s been a lover and a public servant. She ran an exciting campaign, and all got to see something that I learned early on to value thus much: her personality. She has a core like a plunger”. ( As you can imagine, the “backbone like a ramrod” remark was especially well-received by the trolls in the comments stream. ) ” She has tremendous figure, true character. She put forth her best effort and heart, and she and her whole team should be glad of the campaign they ran.

According to Biden, “you know” that the battle for America’s consciousness has always been a hot topic and is still relevant today. I know for some people, it’s a day for triumph, to state the obvious. For some, it’s a time of loss — activities or events of competing visions. A nation picks either one or the other. We accept the decision that our nation made. When he and his own Democrats say these things, one can only hope they are honest about it. ” I’ve said many times, you ca n’t love your country only when you win. No matter who you voted for, I hope we can do as a group of people as neighbors rather than adversaries. You ca n’t love your neighbor without having them agree.

In a topic that the new administration is likely to have an impact on, particularly the Trump DOJ, Biden preemptively defended the integrity of the American political system:” I likewise hope we may put the question about the integrity of the British political system at ease. It is honest, it is fair, and it is transparent. And it can be trusted, win or lose. We should thank all of our election workers, thank them for setting up voting stations, counting the votes, and upholding the integrity of the election, if we can restore their respect. Many of them are volunteers who do it out of love for their country and as they did as they were expected to do as citizens.

In her Wednesday concession speech, Vice President Harris again gushed about how virtuous he would be with the “peaceful transition of power,” a phrase Democrats now wield with the same gravitas and righteousness as they did” Our Sacred Democracy” for the past three years. ” I will do my duty as president. I’ll fulfill my oath, and I will honor the Constitution. On January 20, we’ll have a peaceful transfer of power here in America”.

Biden then gave a brief and dignified farewell to his administration colleagues:” To all our incredible staff, supporters, cabinet members, all the people who’ve been hanging out with me for the last 40 years: God love you, as my mother would say. Thank you so much. You invested a lot of money in the previous four years. I know it’s a difficult time. You’re hurting. I hear you and I see you, but do n’t forget”.

Unfortunately, this decent moment soon morphed into laying the groundwork for taking credit for Trump’s future successes:” Do n’t forget all that we accomplished. It’s been a historic presidency … because]of] what we’ve done, what you’ve done, a presidency of all Americans. The American people already feel a lot of the work we’ve done, and the majority of it wo n’t be felt until the next ten years. We have, we have legislation we passed. It’s just only now, just really kicking in. Because it takes time to get it done, and there will be more than a trillion dollars worth of infrastructure work, which will change people’s lives in rural areas and communities that are in real difficulty. It’s going to take time, but it’s there” .&nbsp,

” The road ahead is clear, assuming we sustain it,” he said in a clever move that makes up for his successes while blatantly denying them to the Trump administration. ” There’s so much, so much we can get done, and we’ll get done, based on the way the legislation was passed, and it’s truly historic”.

He made a jaw-dropping claim:” You know, we’re leaving behind the strongest economy in the world”. He allowed,” I know people are still hurting, but things are changing rapidly. Together, we’ve changed America for the better”.

There followed a pep talk, and then the man took his leave:

Now we have 74 days to finish the term, our term, let’s make every day count. That’s the responsibility we have to the American people. Look folks, you all know it. They’re lies. Setbacks are unavoidable, but giving up is unforgivable. Setbacks are unavoidable, but giving up is unforgivable. We all get knocked down, but the measure of our character, as my dad would say, is how quickly we get back up. Remember, a defeat does not mean we are defeated. We lost this battle. Your dreams are being asked to rise again in the America of your dreams. That’s the story of America for over 240 years and counting. It’s a story for all of us, not just some of us. The American experiment endures. We’re going to be okay, but we need to stay engaged. We need to keep going, and above all, we need to keep the faith. I’m so happy to have collaborated with all of you. I mean it, really. I mean it with all seriousness. God bless you all. God’s blessings on America, and may God protect our troops. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

In a way, it was the sentimental and dignified sendoff Biden had been denied at the Democratic National Convention last year, when schedules made it difficult for speakers to run for a long time, pushing his primetime speech into the late hours. I for one was thrilled to see him leaving the stage with the backseat.
