Top O’ the Briefing

Happy Monday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Kapelyngwick could trace all of his trust issues back to never having the purpose of bay leaves adequately explained to him.

We have been having a rollicking good time since the night of Nov. 5, haven’t we? It started to take on the feeling of a party that wasn’t going to end for a very long time. Things have been going so swimmingly that I almost forgot that the Democrats still have control of the Executive Branch. 

Last week we discussed the fact that Joe Biden seemed to have been playing the fly in the ointment for Kamala Harris throughout her post-coup campaign. Despite the fact that Biden and Donald Trump seemed to enjoy their visit together last week, it’s important to remember that they still don’t like each other very much. Lucid Joe is — and always has been — dark, bitter, and combative. He may want to mess things up for his successor as well.

Oh, he’s also still the president until January 20, 2025. 

Joe and Mrs. Biden have plenty of time to be disruptive before Trump starts his stint as POTUS 47. It would appear that President LOLEightyonemillion isn’t going to be content to merely spend the next couple of months enjoying the food in the White House. This is from something Matt wrote yesterday: 

Well, Putin may not have to escalate the war, because Joe Biden, in a major U.S. policy shift as he prepares to leave office, has made a move to escalate it himself. According to a report from the Associated Press, Biden “has for the first time authorized the use of U.S.-supplied long-range missiles by Ukraine to strike inside Russia, according to one U.S. official and three people familiar with the matter.”

Matt wonders if this is being done to “undermine” Trump and make things rough for him before he gets back to the Oval Office. My Townhall colleague Sarah Arnold referred to Biden as being “defiant” with the move. It does have a “let’s light the place on fire to spite the landlord and the new tenants” feel to it, doesn’t it?

My favorite comment about the move on X was this one from The Drunk Republican: 

It’s important to remember that every foreign policy move that the Biden-Harris administration makes is boneheaded. There was already going to be a lot for Trump to handle when he gets back to Washington. I wrote this in a column titled “Gosh, I Seem to Remember a Lot Less World War III When Donald Trump Was President” in early October:

The world was a much safer place when Donald Trump was president. If he gets back into office, he will hopefully have time to undo the myriad wrongs of the Biden-Harris administration.

Nobody wants to deal with a hyperactive Vladimir Putin when he’s feeling extra chafed, especially as a first order of business. Trump can handle it, of course, but he shouldn’t have to. 

When pondering the instability that Biden’s foreign policy always introduces, one becomes acutely aware of just how much time there is between now and Inauguration Day. If Biden — perhaps egged on by his wife — wants to kick some hornets’ nests, he will have time to find a lot of them.

Biden may not have any desire to make Trump’s second stint atop the heap difficult, but it isn’t a stretch to believe that the people running his brain would like to be as awful as possible with the time that they have left. Trump Derangement Syndrome is very real and thus far incurable in Beltway Democrats. They’re not known for thinking through any of their visceral tantrums about Trump. This could get very ugly for the next couple of months. 

There is no reason to believe that the people surrounding Joe Biden are going to go quietly into their political exile. Even if we expect the worst, the Trump-haters will find a way to plumb new depths. We had a nice takeoff a couple of weeks ago, but we should probably buckle up for a bumpy ride and landing.
