"One of these days, this will all be mine."

The death of 13 servicemen at the hands of ISIS in Afghanistan has many Americans demanding President Biden’s head on a platter – or at least his job. But do they really want Cackling Kamala over Sleepy Joe in the Oval Office?

It’s extremely unlikely Biden will be removed from office on a wave of righteous indignation alone. Despite the nationwide rage at his lackluster performance safeguarding American troops and civilians from terrorists as they desperately await rescue with just four days to go before the Taliban declares open season on them, Sleepy Joe is likely to still be slumbering at the Resolute desk for a while yet.

Even if the rage of millions over the completely unnecessary death of a dozen Marines and a Navy medic actually translated into an article of impeachment or three, and then the Democrat-controlled House opts to impeach “their guy”, that still leaves conviction. There’s no guarantee there – it’s hard to imagine the Senate would allow Vice President Kamala Harris to cast the tie-breaking vote on an issue that would make her effectively queen, and a two-thirds majority is required to remove an impeached president from office anyway.

It’s not like there is no precedent for such short-sighted demands, of course. Trump was impeached not once, but twice by Democrats who seemed convinced they could shame the un-shameable, using the power of total narrative dominance to muscle the president’s own party into reeling him in. But Trump, unreeled, merely withstood the increasingly absurd charges lobbed at him, the second of which came too late to accomplish anything aside from showcasing his nemeses’ poor self-control. There was never a chance of a President Pence, but if there had been, he’d have done his best to adopt the nightmare Christian theocracy Trump’s enemies insisted was the Bad Orange Man’s end goal.

Biden, with his hair-sniffing, verbal incontinence and a son that makes Keith Richards look like the Dalai Lama, seems just as much of a stranger to shame as his predecessor. But his party has total control of the media as well as both houses of Congress, and if he is removed, it’s because they want him to be. And if that’s the case, America (and the rest of the world) had better watch out. President Harris will make President Biden look competent and President Trump look mature.
