MAUREEN CALLAHAN: There's a hidden message in Biden's humiliating withdrawal letter that should terrify every American. And the shaming question: Who on EARTH is running this country?

What a disgraceful extremity to a disgraceful presidency.

Rather than exit this statesmanlike title pinch dignity, alternatively than show long-suffering Americans nan respect we deserve, President Joe Biden hastily declared he's out — connected societal media.

Joe Biden's ghosted us!

LBJ successful 1968 this is not. In fact, this withdrawal — successful tone, tenor, shame, and bitterness — calls to mind nary different than Richard Nixon's resignation.

Biden has humiliated himself, nan nation, nan Democratic elites, megadonors and liberal-media enablers who spent years covering for him.

And he didn't moreover initially endorse his Vice President! Someone had to cleanable up Aisle 9 connected X pinch a hasty follow-up Kamala endorsement tweet.

'I judge it is successful nan champion liking of my statement and nan state for maine to guidelines down,' his missive read. Finally!

Dr. Jill must beryllium nether dense sedation.

Her individual relationship connected X, arsenic of this writing, is still bannered with, 'Let's decorativeness nan job'. She could only bring herself to retweet her husband's missive pinch nary remarks of her own, conscionable a emotion bosom emoji.

Stay classy, Jill and Joe.

So abruptly did this Sunday day announcement onshore that 1 wonders if it was released earlier Biden could alteration his mind.

Before Hunter could alert backmost from his Malibu manse. Before Barack Obama would beryllium forced to springiness nan fatal shove.

Announcements of this magnitude are typically presaged pinch an alert to nan media. Early reports are that Biden's apical run unit didn't cognize astir it, pinch a fistful told conscionable 1 infinitesimal earlier personification pushed 'publish'.

It each raises much questions.

Such as: Who wrote it? When was it drafted? Was it his determination alone, aliases was he coereced?

Why didn't Biden, for illustration LBJ earlier him, denote his monumental determination to guidelines down during a primetime televised reside from nan Oval? Is he that acold gone — incapable to publication prepared marks from a teleprompter?

Who is moving this country?

This, truly, is nan only mobility that matters.

Yet successful this boilerplate, thoroughly self-aggrandizing letter, successful which Biden claims he's pulled an FDR pinch nan American system and says he's near nan federation amended than he recovered it — 'America has ne'er been amended positioned to lead than we are today' — he says he's going to service nan remainder of his term.

Yes, Joe Biden's attraction — thing he has loose possession of from nan hours of 10 americium to 4 p.m. — is now 'on fulfilling my duties arsenic President' until January.

Read this, my friends, successful a hoarse Joe Biden whisper: He can't do it.

This man has nary business staying successful nan astir consequential occupation connected nan planet. He has nary business pinch entree to nan atomic codes. He needs to resign immediately, move nan keys complete to Kamala, and prep for what should beryllium an in-depth investigation into nan cover-up regarding his wellness and cognitive decline.

Shame connected nan Obamas, nan Clintons, Nancy Pelosi, and each lawmaker who knew nan truth and kept quiet.

Shame connected each journalist who had look clip pinch nan President and refused to break nan biggest governmental ungraded since Watergate.

And shame connected nan Democrats if they effort to support Joe successful nan Oval. He shouldn't beryllium location 1 much day. Who successful nan White House property excavation will yet face this corrupt administration?

It won't beryllium nan useful idiots successful nan wide media specified arsenic Van Jones, who took to CNN Sunday day to speak of Biden's 'honor' successful dropping out.

The New York Times op-ed columns, surely successful nan pipeline for weeks now:

'Biden Made a Courageous Choice.'

'What Joe Biden Just Did is Utterly Extraordinary.'

'The Scale and Scope of Biden's Sacrifice.'

Obama, Biden's ain individual Brutus: a 'patriot of nan highest order'.

This was ne'er astir Joe Biden. No 1 cares if his feelings are hurt. This is astir nan information and information of this country, which Biden — successful his megalomania and greed— has compromised.

So please: spare us.

At nan extremity of this ignominious letter, Biden condescendingly tells america that 'we conscionable person to retrieve we are nan United States of America.'

We know, Joe. We know.

'Remember' is rather nan connection choice. 

After all: nan only personification who needs reminding that, yes, we are America, a populist that elects our leaders, not protector governments, is President — for now — Biden.
