Does Joe Biden need a conservatorship?

America’s wacky Libertarian party, which sadly never gets anywhere in presidential elections, has just filed a petition to put Democratic President Joe Biden, 80, and Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, 81, under ‘conservatorship’. The Libertarians claim that America’s ‘geriatric elites’ are evidently unfit for public office and need, for everyone’s sake, to have all decision-making powers taken away. 

The petition is a clever stunt — funny because it’s so true. There’s something deeply wrong with America’s leadership and everyone knows it. 

The Republican party has just announced that it will be launching an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden over his possible involvement, as vice president, in his son’s dodgy business dealings. This third impeachment bid in four years is in no small part motivated by a desire to avenge the ongoing lawfare against 77-year-old Donald J Trump. 

What’s amusing is that, because Washington now so often seems to be a never-ending squabble in a retirement village, almost nobody is taking the impeachment process or the grave claims against the Bidens all that seriously.
