The Democratic Party seems hellbent on self-destruction, but the Axis media burying, under-reporting and generally spinning its worse transgressions may slow the process a bit. This week, there was a scantly reported act by the party that cannot be defended—-if you have a defense to propose, please send it in—but it came in a week so saturated with consequential news both ethical and otherwise that I’ll wager most Americans missed it.

Senate Democrats refused to participate in the first Congressional hearing regarding the cover-up of former President Joe Biden’s mental decline while in the White House, the question of whether his “autopen executive orders” and appointments were valid, and the potential Constitutional breaches these represent. Senators Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Peter Welch (D-Vt.) attended the first Senate Judiciary Committee meeting on the topic this week. Then almost immediately Durbin, the ranking Democratic member, walked out in protest with Welch behind him, with a lame and cynical whataboutist call for the committee to investigate President Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to respond to illegal immigration enforcement rioting in Los Angeles. (The courts took care of that one, Dick, despite the attempts of your party’s captive judiciary.)

Then Durbin blathered, “The Republican majority on this committee has not held a single oversight hearing despite numerous critical challenges facing the nation that are under our jurisdiction.” Desperately, he cited the assassination of a state lawmaker in Minnesota, now pretty authoritatively proven to be the act of a lone wacko, and last week’s handcuffing of Sen. Alex Padilla at a DHS press conference, when the grandstanding jerk was properly treated according to Secret Service protocols. “Apparently, armchair diagnosing former President Biden is more important than the issues of grave concern, which I have mentioned,” Durbin said.

The Biden Administration Ethics Train Wreck should be a bi-partisan concern; indeed, it is one of the most ominous and troubling Constitutional obscenities of the past hundred years or more. When the facts are known, it may eclipse Watergate in significance; I think it almost certainly will. The hearings on Watergate (above) were bi-partisan, even though a Republican administration was the alleged and, as was shown, the actual wrongdoer. Democrats own all parts of the Biden mess, but, like the Republicans in the Seventies, they are obligated to serve the public, assist in finding out what happened, why, who was responsible, how such a thing could occur, and the new laws and procedures that are needed to restore the public trust….in short, “take their medicine.” Instead, these elected public servants are displaying cowardice, dishonesty, and an open betrayal of their duty.

The walk-out this week exposes the utter corruption of the Democratic Party and its leadership. I can’t imagine any other fair interpretation. They installed a puppet Presidency to achieve their agenda, and were caught. Their reaction is, apparently, “Who, us?”
