Abraham, Gavin and Joe

It will never catch on as a song the way honey-voiced Dion DiMucci’s version of “Abraham, Martin and John” topped the charts. Abraham, Gavin and Joe is not a song. Nope. This is an epic rant about an old fraud, Joe Biden, trying to wrap himself in the steadfast leadership of the 16th President Abraham Lincoln, savior of the Republic and Gavin Newsom, the stealth Democrat candidate, pumping up Joe and waiting just off-stage for Joe to implode.

The latest mise en scene began in the White House Dining Room on Saturday at the Governor’s Ball Dinner. Using his ever-present notecards, Joe began to quote from Abraham Lincoln’s First Inaugural Speech:

President Biden butchered one of Abraham Lincoln’s most famous lines while speaking to the nation’s governors over the weekend — after saying “I want to make sure I get this quote exactly right.”

The 81-year-old president read from a notecard at the Governor’s Ball Dinner on Saturday, which apparently contained a quotation from Lincoln’s First Inaugural address.

“Standing here in front of this portrait of the man behind me, I want to make sure I get this quote exactly right,” Biden began, standing in front of a painting of the 16th president.

“He said, ‘We — the better angels,” he said, ‘We must address the counsel — and adjust to the better angels of our nature.’”

“And we do the — and we do well to remember what else he said. He said, ‘We’re not enemies, but friends.’

“He said: ‘We’re not enemies, but [we’re] friends, we must not be enemies.”

It appears Biden was trying to quote from Lincoln’s first inaugural address in March 1861, in which he famously said: “We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies.

“Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection,” Lincoln told the divided nation.

“The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to everly living heart and healthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched — as surely they will be — by the better angels of our nature.”

Biden attempts to quote Abraham Lincoln, says "I want to make sure I get the quote exactly right,” before going on to absolutely butcher it. He also forgot Lincoln's name and Obama's name and called Xi Jinping the “head of Russia.” He's shot. Report: https://t.co/IyuKRacVT3 pic.twitter.com/8jiZCAy7vX

Joe started to say it was the middle of the Civil War. The First Inaugural Address was delivered 38 days before the first shot of the Civil War was fired. (Fort Sumter, April 12, 1861). You can read the text of Lincoln’s First Inaugural Address here.

MOST speakers use notecards, ,, autocues, whatever. There is not a blessed thing wrong with notecards. In fact, a speaker is foolish not to use notecards. The problem is when you use a notecard and still mangle absolutely every-freaking-thing about the quote.

GAVIN TO THE RESCUE

Way back in December, California Governor Gavin Newsom debated Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. He could put two sentences together so he was declared the Savior of the Democrat Party. It was not that good. Read my take here.

So Gavin the Savior (aka Beavis) was tasked to the Sunday shows to lift Joe up to the skies:

Gavin Newsom after being asked if it’s “responsible” to put President Biden at the top of the ticket because of his age:

“Responsible? I revere his record. What he's done in three years has been a master class.” pic.twitter.com/lPCOmHjISC

“A master class.”

“America stands tall, a master class of delivery.
Our economy is booming, inflation is cooling.
The economic strategies this president put together were all things Republicans dreamt of but never delivered.

He’s delivered.”

“We are the tentpole of the world economy.”

Gavin Newsom lies with such surety, it’s scary. There is no limit to what the Dems will do to hold onto power. The world is always going to make fun of American leaders. It’s foolish to think they prefer one party over the other. I would rather they laughed at us because they don’t like mean tweets, than they think the President is a dementia-addled buffoon. Italian TV did pretty well:
