Twitter is full of "I'm so glad Biden is my president because he is just so empathetic" tweets these days. Idiot GenZer and DNC shill, Victor Shi, tweeted:
"The Right can try and twist and lie about President Biden's visit [to Maui] all they want but THIS is what the people of Maui saw — a comforting, empathetic, compassionate LEADER & decent human being. This is why we love him."
Well, alrighty then. Gaslighting all the way down for the young and stupid.
The media palace guards have been pulling overtime for a while now:
- "How Empathy Defines Joe Biden", Forbes August 2020
- "Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and the Return of Empathy When America Needs It Most", Time, November 7, 2920
- "Joe Biden: An Empathetic Leader Whose Time Has Come", Forbes, November 7, 2020
- "Biden's Empathy Is What Matches Him to This Moment", The Atlantic, November 2, 2020
I could go on, but you get the idea. Google "Joe Biden empathetic" and you will get literally thousands of articles about what an awesome dude Joe is.
The people around Biden have carefully cultivated an image of Scranton Joey that is in direct conflict with his character, was labeled empathetic, caring, a real softie. Good old grandpa Joe, doting over the American people the way he does over his grandchildren. Throughout his political career – which essentially has been his entire adult life - Biden worked diligently to invent and nurture the persona of a kind and caring man.
Well, he isn't that man today and based on his performances since attaining the Oval Office, it seems the left is beginning to question the assumptions that he is, or ever was the man advertised. Here's a little taste from the AP, contrast this headline to those above:
- "Biden's empathy shapes policy, but some voters don't feel it", AP, February 2023
But anybody paying attention, knows the aura around Biden is a show that has run longer than Phantom of the Opera did on Broadway.
All the way back in 1975 Biden insisted the US had "no obligation, moral or otherwise, to evacuate foreign nationals" and "the United States has no obligation to evacuate one — or 100,001 — South Vietnamese."
In April 1975, President Gerald Ford argued that, as the last American troops were removed from the country, the U.S. should evacuate the South Vietnamese who had helped the U.S. during the war, too but being the empathetic and kindly spirit he is, Biden objected and called for a meeting between the president and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to voice his objections to Ford's funding request for these efforts.
Secretary of State Henry Kissinger told the senators that "the total list of the people endangered in Vietnam is over a million" and that "the irreducible list is 174,000." Biden said U.S. allies should not be rescued: "We should focus on getting them [the U.S. troops] out. Getting the Vietnamese out and military aid for the GVN [South Vietnam's government] are totally different."
During and after the disastrous Afghanistan retreat, circumstances coalesced to reveal what he has always been, a narcissist and a sociopath, incapable of empathy of any sort.
In the years prior to his decision to evacuate Afghanistan, Biden had repeatedly claimed that no American would be left behind and he had "plans" to evacuate Afghanis who helped American soldiers. During the 2020 campaign, Biden was asked if he believed he would bear responsibility for harm to Afghan women after a troop withdrawal and the return of the Taliban. Biden bristled as he squinted and said, "No, I don't!" he snapped, and put his thumb and index finger together. "Zero responsibility."
And history has proven he was telling the truth.
The parents of the 13 soldiers killed in the Abbey Gate bombing at Hamid Karzi International in Kabul during the Biden Afghanistan withdrawal noticed Lunch Bucket Joe checking his watch multiple times during the return of their children's bodies at Dover (of course, the media tried to explain away Biden's conduct).
"It's two fucking thirty, asshole!"
This were the words uttered into the Congressional record by Mark Schmitz, whose son, Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Jared Schmitz, was one of thirteen killed.

When asked if he was going to East Palestine, Biden said he hasn't had the time to visit a small Ohio town that was devastated by a train derailment months ago. Never mind that he just got back from a long family getaway at Tom Steyer's $15 million "cabin" in Lake Tahoe.
He also took multiple trips to Delaware just in the last month, on one of which he was at the beach and asked by the press what he thought about the wildfire on Maui, to which he responded, "No comment."
He will be the first president since 9/11 not to be present at the anniversary memorial.
Emails from Hunter Biden's laptop from hell displayed how, for years, he treated Hunter as an asset rather than a son and likely used him to generate a retirement nest egg.
So, while Biden may a dirtbag and not at all empathic, at least he has his intellect, his mastery of economics, his foreign policy successes, his unparalleled negotiating skills, and soaring rhetorical skills to fall back on.
