Joe Biden and John Fetterman may be way cooler than you think!
Are they both more sophisticated than they look (and sound)?
I probably don’t have to tell you that, last Friday, in West Hartford, Connecticut, Joe Biden, having spoken on the need for stricter gun control, signed off with an utterance that, as Newsweek delicately put it, “confused some viewers.” I probably don’t have to tell you this because Newsweek is just one of countless outlets that have headlined that “confusing” statement, which countless partisans have also circulated gleefully all over “social media”; so it’s unlikely you don’t know that Biden said, “God save the queen, man!”
Now, I fully understand why “some viewers” (a/k/a “everybody”) found Biden’s line “confusing”—and/or, to quote the coverage, “baffling,” “weird,” “mystifying,” “bizarre,” and so on. After all, “the queen” is dead, and has been since September, so Biden’s call on God to “save” her is a little late; and, of course, he’s president (allegedly) of the United States, so it was odd, to say the least, that he would thus (belatedly) salute Her Majesty, as if he were Justin Trudeau. And why would Biden end a speech on gun control in his own country by asking God to save the queen of England? Was he (or whoever wrote the speech) implying that the US ought to have the kind of gun control they have in Britain? Or was the president just “rambling,” as he does whenever he says anything in public, so that it didn’t really mean a thing? That’s obviously what “some viewers” think.
But what if that’s not true? What if Joe Biden is, in fact, all there—and a way cooler, more subversive player than his dead eyes, faulty memory and frequent public falls suggest? Now, by “subversive,” I don’t mean that he’s (say) a globalist cat’s-paw, or a CCP asset, or in any way intent on helping finish off American democracy (as his salute to Queen Elizabeth might have “some people” thinking). No, I’m suggesting that Joe Biden may just be “subversive” as that word has long been deployed in praise of certain “edgy” rockers and comedians, as in “The Subversive Joy of Stephen Colbert,” a Rolling Stone profile from 2009—or as in SPIN’s retrospective paean, two years earlier, to “1977: The Year Punk Exploded,” which hails the whole punk “movement” as “the most thrillingly subversive cartoon ever in pop culture.”
That’s exactly how Joe Biden may be more “subversive” than we think—as (perhaps) he cleverly revealed last Friday, with a sign-off that, “confusing” though it may be to “some viewers,” may actually have been a sly allusion to the Sex Pistols’ most famous song (the third verse in particular):
And just as President Biden may be more “subversive” than we think, John Fetterman may also be (aesthetically) a “rebel,” whose “incoherent” riffs and “sloppy” clothes may not be tell-tale signs of severe “vaccine” injury—which ought to him back in private life, so he can convalesce in peace—but evidence that Pennsylvania’s junior senator is also something quite unprecedented in the US Congress: a Beat poet.
Here, for example—and fittingly enough—is Sen. Fetterman’s introduction to Joe Biden just last Saturday, “at an event in Philadelphia to address the federal government's response in rebuilding a collapsed portion of the Interstate-95 highway,” as (again) Newsweek reports. If you’ll scroll down below the screenshot of this tweet, you’ll see my rendering of Fetterman’s remarks to show that they may not be flagrant symptoms of aphasia (a common side effect of “vaccination”) but a flight of improvised “subversive” poetry.

Fetterman began in conversational prose, recalling that, a “little over a year ago,” the president appeared “within just hours” of the highway’s collapse (“a collapsed bridge,” the poet called it); and then the senator broke into poetry: Biden “promised to make sure that any resources / That they needed, and any help and support— / And guess what? That bridge was built less than a year / Well, well, in front of time.”
He went on:
Having (acutely?) likened Biden to “a collapsed bridge,” and offered up that hopeful vision of crumbled highways (or “bridges”) “getting rebuilt” coast to coast, Fetterman (waxing Joycean) introduced “my friend, Congressman Boyle Bile” (known to his constituents as Brendan Boyle), who introduced the president.
Of course, I could go on with this; but can the country keep on going this way? Ever more of us—a clear majority—don’t think so; and they’re right.
I cannot recall the last time I laughed out loud at a Substack posting...
Thank you so much for that - much needed on this Funday Monday :)
Joe Biden is as sharp as ever!!!
