Charlie Baker and Joe Biden skilled at talking ragtime

Whatever afflicts Dementia Joe Biden, it seems to be contagious.

Before going over our latest Weekend at Biden’s cuts, it should be noted that a couple of hours before President Biden delivered yet another bumbling, doddering performance, the governor of Massachusetts was before the cameras doing his best impression of the man who calls him “Gov. Charlie Parker.”

Charlie Baker was proposing a two-month freeze on the sales tax, which won’t happen, but maybe he feels guilty about his catastrophic mismanagement of the Panic over the last year.

For whatever reason, though, the governor was channeling the Big Guy big time. Baker mumbled remarks to his “cow colleagues” (or maybe it was “car colleagues”) at the State House.

“We urge our partners in the Legislature to act quickly on this fiscally responsible proposal to provide much leeded tax relief to our residents and families and to our small businesses.”

Much leeded indeed. President Biden couldn’t have put it better himself!

Tall Deval added, “We’re filing this legislation today to now a-left to allow enough time to get it enacted by August.”

Actually, Charlie, why don’t you talk about something you can really accomplish? Like, for instance, throwing in the towel on your latest mad scheme to wreck the state’s economy — the Transportation CIimate Initiative (TCI) heist that would jack up the state’s gasoline tax from 24 cents a gallon to perhaps as high as 62 cents, according to a Tufts University study.

Of course, Charlie still finds it hard to let go of his beloved police-state Panic. As you know, he’s now pushing his vaccination lottery. Biden-like, Parker even botched the web address where you can get more information — “at vaxfindermass dot mass dot gov.”

Next up was the lieutenant governor, Karyn “Pay to Play” Polito. She wanted to put her own incoherent spin on her boss’ fantasy of cutting the sales tax, or she termed it, the sales “tox.”

“As the governor mentioned, this two-month sales tox holiday represents an innovative opportunity for us to do even more to support our Main Street shops.”

So, after 15 months of toxic policy that destroyed thousands of those shops, Pay to Play proposes to assist the defunct businesses she bankrupted by cutting the sales … tox.

“And this propose proposal is a great way to put more money in the to the pockets of our taxpayers and our small businesses.”

Just shut up, both of you. Haven’t you hacks done enough damage already?

A couple of hours later, the president they worship proceeded to out non-compos-mentis both Baker and Polito.

As always, all dialogue guaranteed verbatim. Biden was addressing gun violence in Democrat cities. But don’t worry, he’s got a plan — more governmental studies on … gun violence.

Biden introduced some of his guests from law enforcement.

“Police Chief Murray of the Baltimore uh uh excuse me Police Chief Merritt, Police Chief Murphy Paul of Baton Rouge Louisiana.”

This is when he’s reading from the teleprompter.

Biden again referred to the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) as “AFT.” Twice he repeated what he apparently thinks is a very funny joke about “deer wearing Kevlar vests or something.”

He invented a new part of the Second Amendment while mangling a quote from Thomas Jefferson:

“You couldn’t buy a cannon. Those who say the blood of lib— the the blood of patriots you know and all the stuff about how we’re gonna have to move against the government.”

Dementia Joe continued: “Well the tree of liberty is not watered with the blood of patriots into what happens in that there never been if you wanna if you think you need uh weapons to take on the government you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons. The point is that’s it’s always been ….”

Remember: No firearms, not even a .22, were found among the Capitol rioters on Jan. 6 (or Jan. 9 as Biden says). But Democrats tell us that was the greatest threat to the Republic since the Civil War. So which one is it? Do you need weapons to overthrow the government or not?

More of his Greatest Hits from Wednesday:

“Let’s stop flo-lifiration of ghost guns.”

“If you willfully falsify a record, if you willfully fail to cooperate with the ‘tration requests for inspections, my message to you is this, we’ll find you.”

“Now he runs a program that provides high-risk men with cognitive babe-ular cognitive behavior therapy to help react to the impulse by schlowing down rather than reacting to the impulse to violence.”

By the way, as Biden was slip-sliding away yet again, Charlie was back at the State House, doing what he does best. He nominated a new Superior Court judge — James Budreau. Budreau has impeccable qualifications for early retirement — he’s donated $2,000 to Baker over the years.

Bottom line: Charlie may have been talking ragtime at the press conference Wednesday, but when he returned to his office, it was business as usual.

As for Joe Biden, not so much.
