"He only attained the position of President by lies, Fake News, and not leaving his Basement. All those around him, including his Doctor and the Media, knew that he wasn’t capable of being President, and he wasn’t - And now, look what he’s done to our Country, with millions of people coming across our Border, totally unchecked and unvetted, many from prisons, mental institutions, and record numbers of terrorists. We will suffer greatly because of his presidency, but we will remedy the damage he has done very quickly. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
Writes Trump, on Truth Social.

Dude. Be gracious for one day.
Just about every Republican worth talking about agrees. Unfit to run, unfit to serve. It's the easiest layup in history to make. Expect the feeding frenzy to intensify.
Trump is on fire!
Obama chose Biden because no one would kill Barack and put Joe in , Oval Office.
Biden chose Harris for the same reason.

Sorry, this isn't Barbie Runs for President. It's time to strike, and strike hard. Joe Biden stopped advertising for maybe two days after he let an assassin take a shot at President Trump. Now he wants pity rules?
Murum Aries Attigit.
Ah let Braggadocious Donald be Donald. He's entitled to a victory lap of sorts.
I agree with everything he said, except the capitalization.
Such a wonderful glorious day today.
Trump would be better off just to go silent and wait until the Democrats indicate if they will just coronate Kamala or open it up, but he won't be able to help himself.
It will be interesting to see how quickly Trump and his campaign can pivot. So much of their strategy was focused on how terrible Biden is/was, not what specific policies Trump would try to implement if elected. The Democrats really had no choice but to force Biden out. This is their Hail Mary pass. It will give some Democrats hope, because, you know, we've all seen those football games where the receivers catch the Hail Mary pass, score the touchdown, and win the game. I hope the Dems don't win, but it will a fascinating thing to watch. We certainly live in interesting times.
1. Ignore their own Primary rules and simply toss someone else's name onto the Ballot, pretend this is all completely kosher. No corruption going on at all. No Sir.
2. Do some heavy harvesting, ignore all procedures about timely results and take a minimum of 2 months to "count" the returns. No fraud going on at all. No Sir.
That's how Democrats win elections.
“Dude. Be gracious for one day.”
Name the one day the Left was gracious towards Trump over the last 8+ years.
Ah, the real Trump emerges!
Now, we'll see if Biden has the guts to fight for his VP. Astounding that a President of the USA caves in to money-men and the media because they were scared of the poll numbers.
Contrary to Trump, this drop out had nothing to do with Biden being "unfit", he's been Unfit for years. The democrat party elite just saw that Biden was losing, panicked, and now we'll get Kamala or someone behind Door number 2.
By all rights, Kamala should be a shoo-in for the nominee, she was elected VP, and she was voted into office by the USA public. She's done as well as any other VP, and a black woman she shouldn't be passed over.
Trump and the stupid party are going to overplay their hand.
Whatever the ticket is after the Democratic convention it will be the new and shiny generating excitement and will lead Trump in the poles.

I have zero doubt the New York moneymen told Biden that he could either resign, or more Democratic congress critters would blame him for the Trump assassination attempt. He could never endure that for long before collapsing, and it -would- lead to prison for him personally.
But he endorsed Harris on Twitter, on the same day he said he could win the election no less, and so here we are. A talentless jez with a disapproval above 47% taking on Teflon Don. I couldn't have planned this better.
What has actually changed. Who ever runs biden is still in charge. It sure isn't Harris, but im sure shes easier to use than biden and Jill
Biden is there until Jan, or until he passes. Who ever is really running things will install the best empty suit to beat trump. With illegals voting, an internet connected electronic voting system, and the MSM all in and obeying, Trump is a long way from an automatic win.

Yeah, a truth-teller. Every sentence of that post is the truth.
JB's dilemma came down to:
1. Be remembered only for being an addled failure
2. 1, but with a library
White Savior Karen Inga: "Ah, the real Trump emerges!"
Yes, he emerged fully on the day Team Dem/Deep State attempted to murder him.
BTW, shouldn't you, a self-declared mind-reader/Clairvoyant Savant been able to discern the origin of the many plots your team put has in place from the russia collusion hoax all the way to the decapitation strike in Butler PA?
Or have you just not been sharing the really good stuff with us?
Interesting historical observation: Even after the New Soviet Democraticals rigged the 2016 primary for Hillary (which Inga denied vigorously) and after the New Soviet Democraticals rigged the 2020 primary for Biden (which Inga denied vigorously), you'd think Inga would have SOMETHING, ANYTHING to say about the New Soviet Democraticals rigging the 2024 primary!
But she has been quiet as a well-trained sheep on this subject...just the way her Party masters demand of her.
Such a good little lefty cult follower.
People who expect Trump to be gracious and kind to the Big Guy Biden Gang must not remember how many slanders and lawsuits that gang cooked up using corrupt DOJ and FBI operatives to imprison him, his family, and his supporters like a filthy Mafia Gang War. Oh and he sold out the USA for 30 million pieces of silver before attempting Trump’s murder.
But Remember the Alamo, Remember Pearl Harbor and Remember the Steele Dossier come to mind.
Imagine what it is, what it was and what it will be.
Quemala-Sharpton 2024
The wars the inflation the crime is still giing on
Whether it's Trump refusing to drop out after losing an election or Biden dropping out before an election, both sides have had difficulty timing their drop outs. ;^)
traditionalguy: "But Remember the Alamo, Remember Pearl Harbor and Remember the Steele Dossier come to mind."
Uh oh. You've mentioned the hoaxy, Hillary funded (via Perkins-Coie) to Fusion GPS/Glen Simpson, Deripaska-lie-filled, Steele finalized, Deep State weaponized "Steele Dossier".
Every step of the way, Inga denied each of the steps. She claimed Hillary never funded it. She completely bought into the most transparent of the lies (the hookers peeing on the bed lie kept Inga animated for YEARS), she claimed it was "kompromat" of the highest order and compiled by a supposed well respected former British Intelligence Agent - Steele (LOL, she really believe that), and so very much more.
That's why its so much fun throwing her many years of lies supporting deeper lies in her face.
The very, very, very best part?
Inga. Still. Believes. Russia. Collusion. Happened!
Still.
To this very day.
And Inga has never retracted her charge that Trump supporters were all treasonous traitors, even Marine Corps General Michael Flynn.
Oh, wait. Am I not being "gracious" enough to Inga?
Good to see Trump pivot. But judging by X, so have Dem flunkies--Joe is a patriot! Kamala will save us from fascism! Pro-Joe gaslighting? that was, like, weeks ago, who cares!
LLR-democratical Rich: "Whether it's Trump refusing to drop out after losing an election or Biden dropping out before an election, both sides have had difficulty timing their drop outs."
Poor li'l Abacus Boy Rich.
I think "both sides-ism" gaslighting Rich is the most pathetic Rich. And given how pathetic he has been in other areas, that's really saying something.

Trump is merely insulting. It was Pelosi who stuck in the knife.
I'm an old Democrat politician. I see things through a political lens. Trump has every right to be angry with QuidProJoe. Everything he said was true. And he should have kept his mouth shut.
Nasty Trump greets the news with a typically unpleasant response. The candidate has no concept of dignity or grace and so can’t recognize it in others.
"God blessed America with Joe Biden’s greatness and goodness."
Pelosi damning America with backhanded praise. Yeesh.
Maybe no one can turn the situation around after this child-sniffing invalid, but President Trump can do it if it can be done.
Fuck Joe Biden

Remember, of all the LLR-democraticals, lonejustice is...well...there's simply no other way to put it: the dumbest. Therefore, his gaslighting commentary in support of his beloved democraticals will, by necessity, also be the most transparently stupid.
As you have noted in the above comment.
As I said, lonejustice clearly misses Chuck. lonejustice's pro-dem lies were more easily riffied while Chuck was around. With just Rich here to pick up the Chuck slack, that's just not enough to elevate lonejustice's gaslighting "game".
trump is too old, a court convicted sex abuser, a convicted felon and CEO of a fraudulent company and way too fat. Next ,need younger blood .
They’ve all been lying through their teeth to us, and now that they got caught Inga thinks that we should show some compassion and mercy. Thank you, Inga, but my compassion and mercy goes first to the people who were being lied to, not to the liars just right now. We have yet to see if a new set of lies will be spun to convince us that the primary and election process rules don’t need to be followed, or that the that the replacement is competent.

I think the GOP should make appropriate noises about the President's fitness to continue in office but only enough to keep the Deomcrats having to defend that particular front; otherwise the focus should be on the general election.

Biden is not a person I want to be in the White House, and I didn't vote for him in 2020, but even at his most comatose, I say better Biden than Trump. I will vote for the December candidate, whomever he or she will be--even (shudder)--Kamala Harris, to be my first vote for one of the major party candidates for President since 1992.
Whenever I see Harris speaking, she seems like a moron or drunk, or both. Isn't she just...not that smart?
Same thing happened to this post. Trying again

“Republicans are now wishing Vance would replace Trump.”
I was thinking the same thing.
She's done as well as any other VP,
People should use the /sarc tag. Its hard to tell if they are being serious or not.
I've read Biden's letter announcing that he was "suspending" his campaign. It starts of "My Fellow Americans" -- shades of Dick Nixon! The first three paragraphs are wall to wall lies.
Of course they dont care about the country
Kammy can boast about her efforts on the border crisis.
She's as effective as Pedo Pete re cancer.
*in #n months*
"Biden never intended to be more than a one term President. Just a bridge to the next generation in service to democracy." *FLASH*
So much to forget, so little time. Gotta pick up the pace.
Trump is 78 years old. He would be the oldest person ever elected President in history. He’s way too old, often rambling and incoherent, he needs to withdraw for the sake of this country and pass the torch to someone younger.
“Trump is the oldest nominee for President in American history.”
And Biden the most senile.
The humiliation they put on the world stage at normandy
Dear, Rich.
Harris has word salad brain in her middle years.
Her personal skillset was exploited many years ago.
It’s fun to read the progressives desperate to make today’s news something good for them. They deserve no pity.
And the g7 they dont care in fact they told us to deny what was in front of our faces 'deep fakes' remember. 'This is the best biden'

And you same people will all of a sudden find Hitleresque traits about JD. You will be pining for a more moderate candidate like Trump.
You guys are shameless
Trump has a month to run against the unelected Democrat operatives who have been running things behind Biden. They'll still be there no matter who Democrats anoint. He could have them in shambles before a new beard is chosen.

not what specific policies Trump would try to implement if elected.

Seriously, what in the hell is wrong with you?
For crying out loud, Rich. You spent months lauding Joe Biden's acumen. Anybody here truly looking for insights wrote you off long ago.
Trump is 78 years old. He would be the oldest person ever elected President in history.
You...you do know Biden was also elected at 78, right? Just a few years ago? C'mon, man, it was in all the papers.
This isn't exactly the slam dunk you think it is.
Kate, I see no reason to be gracious regarding the exposure of a mass political hoax orchestrated by a bunch of prohams who call me a Nazi.

I can't imagine the Democrats are going to try to go with that are they? That somehow their tragedy is seen as such as a positive development that the GOP wants the same thing.
I do think the Democrats need to portray this as a fun thing, like a treasure hunt, the search for a nominee to complete the ticket.
Republicans are now wishing Vance would replace Trump.
Would that be the 75 million Republicans who voted for him last time? Or some other magical Republicans?
Poor Bich and Inga, stuck with Kamala still.
If the Democrats were smart, which they most certainly are not, they would have an open convention and nominate Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro as their presidential candidate. He would help with winning Pennsylvania, a critical state. More importantly, he is a more moderate Democrat, very likable, and he would be the first Jewish President of the United States. And I think we are ready for that. He is the only possible Democrat presidential candidate that I would even think about voting for.
As Daniel Greenfield said, if he's not competent to run for office, why is he competent to stay in office right now?
No he isnt he just was able to arrange the steal as atty general which led to october 7th
Republicans are now wishing Vance would replace Trump.
Why? DEI/IED/DIE (e.g. ageism, racism) is a left-wing ideological doctrine in progressive sects with liberal undertones. Biden should hope that he will not be their next Choice for Planned Personhood a la Whitmer et al. with carbon sequestration of the "burden" of evidence. Although, it would be karmic irony.
That said, normal people judge and label others in roles where all lives matter by their performance to realize functional outcomes.
Has anyone noticed how old Trump is?
Rich: "Trump is the oldest nominee for President in American history."
Plus as Elon and Zuckerberg said: the badest ass one with the biggest balls.
Trump and the Repubs (well, the Trump-tolerant ones) want Biden to resign and inaugurate Kamala for the rest of his term so that the glass-ceiling argument for electing her is bypassed. That way she can take her place in history as the ethnic Gerald Ford, and Trump can win in the election.
For equal and opposite reasons, the never-Trump crowd (Democrats included, but not just them) wants to deny Kamala the presidency until the election, so that she can campaign on making history (and against denying history).
The wild card is tactical calculation for keeping Biden in the White House until it looks like Kamala needs an October surprise, and then Biden can resign, and she can be inaugurated right before the election.
The new Trump, same as the old Trump. Sore loser.
Blogger Rich said...

Just keep repeating it, Rich!
Bound to catch fire.
Lonejustice: the Dems are way too scared of and submissive to their proham wingnuts to dare to run any Jewish candidate. And it doesn't even matter where Shapiro stands on Israel: they've ceded too much power to purely anti-Semitic young Democrats. They picked a side, and it ain't opposing the prohams, even though said terrorist youth are planning to burn down their convention, whatever they do.
They're in a pickle of their own making. Even Kamala's husband is going to be a problem for them.
We just had an attempted assasination.
The news cycle will try to make that ancient history.
Rich will continue screeching.
I see that the Clintons have come out and formally endorsed Harris. More importantly, perhaps, is that Soros and son have also. So the fix appears to be in. Dictated in part by the calander. Perhaps more interesting is that Kennedy has announced a press conference for 5:00PM today. More likely that he says/does something that hurts dems or helps Trump than that he says something that helps dems.
Pretty 'on brand' as my kid would say.
Trump seems to be peaking way too early.
“As Daniel Greenfield said, if he's not competent to run for office, why is he competent to stay in office right now?”
I have nothing against Biden stepping down from the presidency very soon, today, tomorrow, before the week is over. President Kamala Harris sounds pretty good.
"You...you do know Biden was also elected at 78, right?"
The leftards know it. What they're arguing is that Biden is a turnip and Trump is the same age, so...
and expecting the slow and dimwitted to equate Trump with FJB.
Ann, can you recruit some better quality LW commenters? Seeing their comments raises the question whether any of them have more than a few dozen neurons banging around in their head.
Rich, let me explain something to you. First, the one demographic that Biden was doing relatively well with was older whites. Unlikely that Harris doesn't do worse with them. Second, the demographic that Trump declined with between '16 and '20 was working class, non-college educated whites. No way that Harris doesn't do significantly worse with them than Biden. The party grandees have already started announcing that Harris is the candidate. That is likely a net benefit to Trump and down ticket republicans.
"Is 538 Corrupt" As of 1:00 PM Sunday, July 21:
Trump wins 51 times out of 100

Biden wins 49 times out of 100.
There is a less than 1-in-100 chance of no Electoral College winner.
Norah O'D just called Swiftboat Kerry a war hero on CBS, referring to how the Bush Republicans ! smeared him in 2004.
The Trump campaign should have Vance shadow Harris with simultaneous events in the same cities. With Tulsi introducing and endorsing him every time. She's free to adlib some comments about Harris.

A question may of us have asked over the years. Alas. The althousian dedication to free speech and cruel neutrality have tied her hands.
Look at it this way. We are getting the very best that the WaPo comments section has to offer.
Hunter seen boarding a plane to where?
What is the the quid pro quo here? I find it hard to believe that Harris was in on the assassination attempt. I'm assuming that the reason Biden is holding on to office while ending his re-election bid is related to keeping control over the DOJ / FBI / Secret Service as long as possible, because for Pres. Harris to hang the guilty parties out to dry as a sign of integrity would give her a bigger boost than anything else she could possibly do.
Think of the press conference: "Rogue elements in the FBI/Secret Service tried to assassinate Donald Trump. As much as I oppose Mr. Trump, this is absolutely unacceptable. The responsible individuals have been arrested and will be tried. Blah, blah, blah about integrity."
She would get an AVALANCHE of support, and with the culprits in jail, people might remember their irritation with Trump's quirks and also decide that Harris deserves to be rewarded for showing so much integrity.
It's the best "hail Mary" play I can think of for her.
So I'm assuming that one reason the Biden circle is hanging onto the reins is that someone in there is implicated.

There's no way Hunter doesn't get pardoned, but that would best be done after the election. So Biden has to hang on.
I think the intriguing question is whether Joe pardons himself.

So is Joe Biden going to shrivel up in front of our eyes as they stop all the injections?
Trump is 78 years old. He would be the oldest person ever elected President in history.
Trump doesn't drink alcohol and he doesn't smoke. It sure seems that has added years to his life. He can walk without shuffling. He keeps schedules I could never match. All I will say right now is that there would be no problem waking him up at 3 a.m. to handle a crisis.

I have zero doubt the New York moneymen told Biden that he could either resign, or more Democratic congress critters would blame him for the Trump assassination attempt.
i'm Pretty SURE, it was MUCH MORE LIKE: they told Biden he could either resign, or die in office

All of the above, and it's been alleged that her staff has her on marijuana gummies but the magic dosage is still to be determined.

Good plan!
Inga: "I have nothing against Biden stepping down from the presidency very soon, today, tomorrow, before the week is over. President Kamala Harris sounds pretty good."
Hum. Tell me your only principle is getting your way without telling me you have no principles. If Biden is cognitively unfit to run for and serve another term, he isn't cognitively fit to serve the las 12% of his current term. The fact that you applaud his decision without insisting he resign or be removed is just evidence that your concern is about your side winning, not about the welfare of the country.

Are you having trouble understanding what I said?
Mark: "Trump seems to be peaking too soon." What evidence do you have that he's peaked? Or, on what grounds do you assume he has?
Tank said..."Whenever I see Harris speaking, she seems like a moron or drunk, or both. Isn't she just...not that smart?"
Way back when, Harris was touted as a super smart up and comer. So I made a point of watching her during two confirmation hearings, one for Kavanaugh and the other, I think, for Pompeo as CIA director. I came away thinking she was pretty dumb.
Just FYI, saying you're ok with something is not the same thing as saying or insisting that it should have happened. But you have no principles, so you didn't insist on it. If fact, if you had had principles, you would have insisted he resign or be removed two or three years ago.
Can you not read? Do you not understand English?
I think it's possible that Biden doesn't even know he's dropped out and isn't running any longer. I wonder if they asked him to speak live and do it and he said no, or he's still too sick to do that or what.
And I know it's trite and I always roll my eyes when other people say stuff like this but it's kind of amazing that in our country this stuff happens and no tanks roll in the street. So far it doesn't seem like anything is kicking off. Which is another reason why maybe it would be best if Biden just served out his term. It's really only until the election because once that's decided the transition starts happening and the current administration is in caretaker mode.

Ann, can you recruit some better quality LW commenters?
No, she chased off most of the LW commenters except for the few of us who have thick skins. I think it is mostly because she can't stand criticism aimed directly at her. The rule seems to be that you can say any stupid, racist, homophobic (even though one of her sons is gay) sexist thing on this site (except for using the "n" word), and lie freely on this site as long as you don't disagree with her directly.
Dave Begley: "Drago:
Okay, she fucked her way to the top."
Correct.
Interestingly, long time Althouse readers will recall Inga was one of the lefty buffoons pushing the Melania Was An Escort hoaxes on Althouse blog. Inga played that one up and over the top.
Yet here we are with Willie Brown's Li'l pass around ho and Inga has not a word to say about it.
Discuss.

I've worked around and sometimes for professional women like Kamala all my life and I think she's smart and personable but probably has gotten by somewhat on looks and connections and being in the right place at the right place (just like men do). She might be kind of lazy, I think, someone who expects staff to do the heavy lifting and protect her from herself, which can be really hard to do if you're an underling trying to figure out what she's prepped for and what she hasn't. I wonder if she's thinking to herself right now, oh shit...
I think a lot of women are going to consider her perfectly acceptable.
James, you sound like a hysterical ninny.
Do you seriously think that I, an anonymous Althouse commenter will get the ear of powerful Democrats if I yell my INSISTENCE that they do what I say? Do you think they will say “Oh that Inga on Althouse demands that Biden steps down now!”
Thanks for giving me all that power!

EMBRACE THE SUCC
If Biden doesn't do the debate last month, is any of this stuff even happening?
“I think a lot of women are going to consider her perfectly acceptable.”
Indeed.
Not wrong, sadly.
There’s something remarkably revealing about the human psyche in Inga shifting gears and continuing to strike a confident pose of having been right all along.
Zero recognition she’s been made a fool of by a con job.
Mason G: "If Biden doesn't do the debate last month, is any of this stuff even happening?"
Nope. Not at all.
And oh how the morons laughed and laughed at Trump for shocking the Dementia-Glitch Boy team by simply saying yes to the New Soviet Democraticals debate with restrictions.
"I've worked around and sometimes for professional women like Kamala all my life and I think she's smart…"
That the women you know are smart doesn't mean Kamala is. She wanted to know from Pompeo what the CIA was going to do to address the environment. She spent 2 days with Kavanaugh trying to lead him into some gotcha moment that never did resolve into anything that made any sense.
I came away thoroughly unimpressed.
Even better:
HARRIS/ BUTTIGIEG
SUCKING TOGETHER
"And oh how the morons laughed and laughed at Trump for shocking the Dementia-Glitch Boy team by simply saying yes to the New Soviet Democraticals debate with restrictions."
Rich assured us Trump would never show up to debate.
"I think a lot of women are going to consider her perfectly acceptable."
The same women who found Biden perfectly acceptable.

It's called Pivoting.
Inga must be a boss somewhere, you have to be really good at that to survive in the work world. And elsewhere, too, of course.
Debbie Wasserman schulz said on BBC that they still need to do the virtual delegate vote to be sure of being on the Ohio ballot. Is she blowing smoke to ram Kam through?
Kate said...
Dude. Be gracious for one day.
Perhaps Kate has forgotten, as evidently neither Trump nor I have forgotten, Joe Biden’s on-camera smirk when someone asked him about the guilty verdict against Trump in the Alvin Bragg trial. Time to rub it in good.
And Trump’s team has already released their first anti-Kamala ad, tying her (tightly and rightly) to the border chaos. Great anticipation.
Kamala v Trump is different from Biden v Trump, but alike in one way. Most people seem to have missed the videos of Biden stumbling, mumbling, falling, etc. that many of us have been seeing for a couple of years. So those folks were shocked by Biden's performance at the "debate", and that started Biden's slide out of relevance. The same folks haven't seen the videos of Kamala's weird kackleing that we have all seen. Will she be able to present a different image of herself as a Presidential candidate? DON'T ASSUME THAT SHE WON'T!
"Inga must be a boss somewhere, you have to be really good at that to survive in the work world. And elsewhere, too, of course."

Seems legit for a number of reasons...

Whoever convinced Biden to do that early debate deserves the presidential medal of freedom.

Not genuine Republicans, no.

‘There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.’ ~ Vladimir Ilyich Lenin
That Lenin or fake Lenin quote is so overused now, but it is still pretty apt.
There are decades when nothing happens and there are weeks when decades happen. I mean, this has not happened before in American politics. A prospective nominee withdraws.
Someone upthread asked if Trump peaked too early. Presumably because he was shot. That's Trump's fault?
Serious questions for the courageous lefties on this sight: When did Joe Biden peak? You have fifty years from which to choose.
Kamala will be the first Indo-Jamaican, African-American president.
Qualifications, ask Willie Brown about the golf ball/garden hose competition.
Jails pot smokers, bails rioters.
"I mean, this has not happened before in American politics. A prospective nominee withdraws."
Democrats make history. Film at 11.
"Nasty Trump greets the news with a typically unpleasant response. The candidate (Trump) has no concept of dignity or grace.
After being accused of treason, indicted 90 times, and then shot in the head, I think Trump's grace reservoir is running on empty.
Kamala Harris is as dumb as dogshit and everyone who has ever watched her in a debate (I have 4 times) or watched any interview she has ever given knows it or should know it. She actually makes the Joe Biden of just 4 years ago look smart by comparison.
I suspect that the reason the Democrats might coalesce around her in the next few days is that the donors will otherwise hold back on donating any money to the, now, Harris campaign if there is any doubt that she might not be the actual nominee in 3 weeks.
She showed her stuff in the 2020 primary. What was it... single digits?
Close enough for trolls.
"Dude. Be gracious for one day."
After everything Trump has endured at the hands of the Democrats up to this point, I'll take "gracious" to mean only going after those Democrats who have committed actual (not made-up BS lawfare crap) crimes.
For the next four years. Work for you?
Trump just ran his mouth, as usual. But it was Obama and Pelosi who stuck the knife in Biden.

Back at 'cha.
As of right now Joe Biden is still President of the United States.
He was forced out of the race and has just suffered a humiliation that will never go away.
He is a petty, vindictive man who has so far given no indication that he accepts the extent of his decline.
It's a dangerous time.
Gracious? Really?
Biden deserves all that’s coming to him and more.
This insufferable old prick’s grift has gone on for far too long.
Left Bank of the Carles said: "The new Trump, same as the old Trump. Sore loser." I'm not sure he lost here so I don't understand your comment. The idea that Kamala will he a stronger candidate than Biden can be made but the idea that she is a strong candidate is absurd.
Oh Yea said...
Trump and the stupid party are going to overplay their hand.
Whatever the ticket is after the Democratic convention it will be the new and shiny generating excitement and will lead Trump in the poles.
Remember. Democrats and Nevertrumps always have something shiny and new.
Because History starts anew every day for these people.
[Joe Biden] is a petty, vindictive man who has so far given no indication that he accepts the extent of his decline.
@Rabel, you forgot the adjective “petulant.”

No. Nobody has any problem understanding what you say.
We are just pointing out that you have been wrong about everything and that you are obviously stupid.
It was less than a month ago that Biden was a good president and one of the smartest people in the world. Biden was going to beat Trump at the debate right?
You are just too stupid to notice what is happening around you. But anyone dumb enough to fall for conspiracy theories like Russian collusion and laptop is Russian disinformation shouldn't be expected to be any better.
I wonder what the odds would be for Kamala being the next to drop out.
Probably won't happen. I was also thinking about Taylor Swift. How much would her endorsement help the Democrats.
It won't happen because of his health issues, although he does seem to be recovered, but I could see John Fetterman being a good addition to the ticket.
Cooking and watching some of the 'well-connected' talking heads on the networks now.
And all of-a-sudden, there's a massive Rush to the Center, leaving behind a landscape strewn with D.E.I. T-shirts and Green New Deal flashcards. Joe Manchin is re-joining the Democrat Party and thinking of tossing his name in, and there are plenty of Democrat Centrist smiling faces, just waiting to greet him - It's just like Homecoming ! George Bailey, on 'will call' at the train station in Bedford Falls....
So this is the Democrats Big Strategy then? Abandon all the fascistic blue-haired Antifa weirdo bullsh*t they've been forcing on everyone for the past 4 years, and preaching to the Middle Road?
How many people are going to buy that, I wonder? Maybe quite a few, just out of relief.

Exactly.
A month ago Trump was going to pull out of the debate because he was scared to debate the Joe Biden.
I left out several adjectives. It's Sunday.

And lose Michigan because the Palestinian wing stays home?
The Corporate/Technocrat/Laptop wing of the Democrat party is similar to the Chamber of Commerce/Laptop wing of the Republican Party. They are basically the same group of people and there aren't very many of them. They are just massively over represented in political social media spaces.
If you have an actual open primary in the democrat party AOC chooses the winner.
Joe Manchin would be the end of the Democrat party. They would become the Whigs overnight.
Gone.
"There is nothing that is wrong

I don't care about a female candidate, not unless she's the second coming of say, someone like Kate O'Beirne or Barbara Olson, may they both rest in peace. But a lot of women dislike Trump and/or like the idea of having a woman finally become President of the U.S.
Harris will face a whole new ballgame of negative attacks as the Democratic nominee. She is also energizing Democrats and offers a non-80 year old, non-felon, non con-artist, non sexual assaulter as a candidate for president. Trump remains a weak candidate who has never won the popular vote. Voters want a new candidate and Harris provides that choice.
She is rumored to favor Mark Kelly, senator from the battleground state of Arizona, as her vice president. He’s a centrist, former navy aviator and astronaut who will appeal to centrists and independents.
Ultimately Harris will shake up the race and polling. Battleground state races will tighten and a state like North Carolina could come into play.
" But a lot of women dislike Trump and/or like the idea of having a woman finally become President of the U.S."
If you choose to vote based on the sex of the candidate, you are shouting out to the world that you are not worthy of having the right to vote.
But a lot of women dislike Trump and/or like the idea of having a woman finally become President of the U.S.
A woman, any woman, no matter how lazy, stupid, corrupt, and incompetent.

Its like you are a wind up toy.
The leftards here are complaining about Trump, not about being lied to about Biden for the last four years. Not surprising.
