Staff ReportsThere is something almost comical about picturing President Joe Biden waking up in a daze from yet another lengthy afternoon nap. One can almost hear the gears in his head whirring as he recalls an important detail that escaped him just before hitting the snooze button on reality. The lost directive hangs heavy in the air: while Biden dozed on, the opportunity to pardon himself slipped right through his fingers. After all, who needs to cover their own rear end when you’ve got a host of loyal aides and deep-state allies ready to turn a blind eye?
As Biden casually switches on the TV, his semi-lucid brain might bemusedly absorb the sight of former President Donald Trump chatting with Sean Hannity about the absurdity of Biden’s pardoning spree. Trump, with his trademark charisma, remarked that amid an avalanche of last-minute pardons—from infamous bureaucrats like Anthony Fauci to the likes of Liz Cheney and Adam Schiff—Biden forgot his own get-out-of-jail-free card. It’s both hilarious and perplexing: how does one pardon everyone but themselves? Biden’s apparent inability to look out for number one could just be the cherry on a sundae of incompetence.
The social media circles erupted with laughter as Trump pointed out Biden’s oversight, casting a spotlight on the former president’s glib remark about not granting himself a pardon. In a twist of irony worthy of a sitcom plot, it seems that while Biden was busy playing Santa Claus with presidential pardons, he neglected to check his own wish list. The Constitution may leave self-pardoning ambiguously open-ended, but common sense suggests that protecting oneself would be a primary concern for anyone in Biden’s shoes—even considering they’re often clad in something resembling fuzzy slippers.
In what can only be described as an act of utter desperation, Biden’s last-minute pardons seem aimed at fortifying his allies before the impending storm. As Trump gears up for a second term with a vengeance, those who benefited from Biden’s acts of kindness may soon find themselves caught in a web of accountability. The narrative is clear: Biden looks like he’s trying to secure his friends while the heat gets turned up. Heaven knows how many of those pardoned could very well face some legitimate legal scrutiny under a Trump administration that’s ready to clean house.
As Trump noted during his interview, the bitter irony is that while Biden went around handing out pardons like they were candy at Halloween, his own reputation is now on borrowed time. A wild dance of deep-state players and political maneuverings might bring Biden’s own dirty laundry to light. It’s a swirling mix of political theater and vengeance that has left Democrats scrambling for coping mechanisms. Their collective psychobabble presumes the voters only want Trump to address inflation, conveniently ignoring the laundry list of grievances that need sorting out post-Biden.

In essence, Biden’s nap and subsequent political blunders may very well mark the calm before a storm of reckoning for his administration. As he stirs from his slumber, he faces a harsh reality that the consequences of his actions—and those of his pardoned buddies—are only just beginning to escalate. The American public is watching closely, and as they continue to awaken from their own stupor regarding the deep-state antics, it’s likely that the echoes of Trump’s victory will reverberate through the halls of a beleaguered White House.
