HARDLY A GOOD LEADER IN SIGHT

Dementia Joe sits atop a miserable line of succession

- Howie CARR

Before you heed those calls to remove Dementia Joe Biden via either impeachmen­t or the 25th amendment, remember the old saying: Be careful what you wish for.

As another incompeten­t Democrat by the name of M. Stanley Dukakis used to say, “The fish rots from the head.”

Check out the current chart of presidenti­al succession and you will realize just how rudderless the ship of state is.

How hopeless is the federal government? Marty Walsh, the bust out former mayor of Boston who is now Secretary of Labor, is number 11 in the line of succession to the presidency.

Does that frighten you? Because it gets worse, much worse.

Joe himself might be concerned… if only he could just remember any of his appointees’ names.

Presidents used to seek out at least a few “captains of industry” for their cabinets. Biden doesn’t even have any buck privates of industry.

Take the vice president, Kamala Harris. Please. If you don’t know her background, just google her name and “Willie Brown.” Then tell me about her impeccable credential­s.

Next in line to the presidency is Speaker Nancy Pelosi. She’s 80 years old and likes to say she was “set up” every time she’s caught not wearing a mask, which is about once a month.

Comes from quite the family. Google again provides helpful links. Type in Pelosi’s name and then “father” and “brother,” before adding “Mafia,” “FBI” and “rape.”

That’ll work, unless Big Tech has scrubbed yet more pages on behalf of its Democrat co-conspirato­rs.

Next on the list of succession comes Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, the president pro tempore of the Senate. That means he’s the oldest rat in the barn. He’s 81 years old and his next real job will be his first.

If you’ve ever watched “Leaky” Leahy at a Senate hearing on C-SPAN, you know that early in the morning he sounds a lot like Ted Kennedy used to sound late in the evening.

Next to become president would be the secretary of state, Taliban Tony Blinken. He prepped at the Dalton School, where the late Democrat pedophile Jeffrey Epstein used to teach, even though he lacked a college degree. The former headmaster of Dalton was sued by a former student who claims he raped her when she was 14.

Do you begin to detect a pattern here?

After Harvard and law school, Taliban Tony practiced law… in Paris. And he raised big bucks for the aforementi­oned Dukakis. Of course he did!

Blinken’s job now is to jet around the world surrenderi­ng to Third World savages and getting pushed around, like back when he was in middle school and his classmates gave him wedgies, stole his lunch money and stuffed him into his locker.

Taliban Tony is the prototypic­al modern Beltway beta male.

Next in line is the treasury secretary, Janet Yellen. Age 75. She’s from Brooklyn, and now has tenure at Berkeley. Famous quote from 2018: “If I had a magic wand, I would raise taxes and cut retirement spending.”

How much more do you need to know?

Lloyd Austin, the secretary of defense, comes next. Age 68. Biden can’t remember his name (“the general,” he calls him) or where he works (Biden refers to the Pentagon as “the outfit”).

As CENTCOM commander Austin presided over Obama’s disastrous Iraq pullout, and now he’s reprising his calamitous stewardshi­p in the Afghanista­n catastroph­e.

But he’s very, very concerned about white supremacy in the outfit. Made millions as a Raytheon lobbyist. So frightened of the virus that he wears a windshield from a Land Rover over his face.

Next in line is Merrick Garland, or as they call him on MSNBC, “Garland Merrick.” Age 71.

Obama wanted that Harvard puke on the Supreme Court because he could be Stephen Breyer’s little brother, right down to the trust fund. Garland is “partially colorblind” – unlike all his subordinat­es in Main Justice, who are obsessed with nothing but color.

Come on down Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland. She’s Native American, and her official bio describes her as a “single mother” who “breaks barriers.” It could have been worse. It could have been the fake Indian, Elizabeth Warren.

The secretary of agricultur­e is Tom Vilsack – a 70year-old married white male heterosexu­al from flyover country. Only one possible way to explain Vilsack – affirmativ­e action, Democrat style. He’s a token.

Next is Gina Raimondo, secretary of commerce. Another failed New England hack, busted repeatedly for not wearing the masks she so imperiousl­y decreed for her subjects in Rhode Island.

Most recently appeared maskless at Speaker Pelosi’s $29,000-a-head time for her fellow mask-mandate-defying Democrat billionair­es in Napa Valley.

Followed by Marty Walsh, the secretary of labor (which is never to be confused with work).

Then the HHS secretary, Xavier Becerra, a 63-yearold career California layabout who brags on his official bio that he is the “son of working class parents,” who were probably the last people he’s ever known who worked for a living.

Next in line is Marcia Fudge, secretary of HUD. Age 68. She’s the Congressio­nal Black Caucus’s legacy.

Followed by Transporta­tion Secretary Pete Buttigieg, whose qualificat­ions you will never hear the end of.

Then there’s Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, the former governor of Michigan. By the way, Dementia Joe apparently thinks she is still governor of Michigan, because last week he called the current governor “Jennifer.”

I could go on. But you get the picture. Dementia Joe is going nowhere. The devil you know is better than the devil you don’t know.
