Glenn Reynolds quips darkly, linking to something I wrote earlier this morning.
ADDED: Speaking of evidence, Kamala Harris is a first hand witness:
"I am first hand witness that everyday, our president, Joe Biden, fights for the American people, and we are deeply, deeply grateful for his service to the nation."
She is quoted in "Harris: ‘We are deeply grateful’ for Biden’s service/Harris spoke on the South Lawn of the White House for a celebration of NCAA championship teams, filling in for Biden as he recovers from Covid" (Politico).
So she's filling in for him and simultaneously attesting to his daily work, his "fight" for us. The last time we saw him, he was fighting to keep his place as the nominee. KH is a "first hand witness," that is, we're stuck with hearsay.
I have a tag for the word "deeply," and she just said it twice in a row. She must really mean it.
AND: Here's the original post where "deeply" became a tag: "Deeply... it's such a poser word." That's from 2014. There, I made a list of earlier examples of the use of "deeply" in the blog archive. And look what's #1 on the list!
1. "Beauty is a system of power, deeply rooted, preceding all others, richly rewarded," wrote Garace Franke-Ruta, explaining "Why Obama's 'Best-Looking Attorney General' Comment Was a Gaffe."
Obama's 'Best-Looking Attorney General' was, of course, Kamala Harris.

I said last night, we need proof of life.
Show us Biden holding a copy of today's NYT.
So, I get Joe is sick. Or dead, but whatever.
Where's Jill and Hunter and the rest of the Biden family? Kamala is actually at the White House doing Joe's job: appearing at the public events and the like.
Why are all the Biden's missing?
Did we just have another coup?
Kamala, The Last Boomer
"I am first hand witness that everyday"
See, Dems don't do shame. Nor contrition. After years of sharp-as-a-tack gaslighting, they effortlessly switch to a new lie. Kamal learned from the best. Here, KH she is not a "first hand" witness, and what she claimed to witness doesn't happen "every day." Dem BS has no consequences.
OT -
Althouse or long-term commenters, does anyone have a link to Palladian? I am in the market for some art and wanted to support him, but I lost the link from many, many years ago.
Okay, it makes sense for Biden to not want a lot of public attention immediately after depantsing himself. But to go two days without a personal statement?
You really do start wondering if the main body double died.
It’s been 24 hours. Asking for “proof of life” was a half-joke yesterday; it’s totally serious now.
Like, asking if Biden is alive or mentally competent when he hasn’t been seen since Wednesday is justified.
Who is running the country? Who picks up the phone at 3AM?
This is so fucked up; it’s Soviet Union level of deception.
Kamala is "best looking" in that case that all men know as "closing time at the local bar."
Harris should never say “deeply.”
JSM
They've been controlling the man's executive decision-making since before his inauguration, so how in the hell could anybody not assume they've put words that aren't his in his life(less) mouth again.

Yup. It's getting serious. Obama has previously killed Americans.
There’s only one Democrat who ought to be showing his face in public, and that’s whosit Phillips, the Minnesota congressman who tried vainly to primary smokin’ joe. He is the lone democrat who did the right thing instead of the politically expedient thing. He is a hero. To hear the democrats yammer on about how Joe has given his all and is doing what’s best for the country, oh vomit, people. All of you — jill, Hunter, Karine, Nancy, Kamal, Shifty, —- all of you perpetrated a giant fraud on the American people, so let’s have no more talk about trump’s “lies”.
Someone in the press needs to ask KJP how much Joe was paid to drop his campaign.
We know Biden has taken bribes in the past.
The American people need to understand the depth of the Dem corruption.
"Someone in the press needs to ask KJP how much Joe was paid to drop his campaign."
Or how much Hunter is to be paid (plus pardon). The big guy only keeps 10%.
Willie Brown used to get “deeply rooted” all the damn time.
Random question - is there a law that requires presidential pardons to be publicly disclosed? And if so, is there a deadline for such disclosure?
Has there been one of those temporary 25th amendments executed? Thinking of what’s done if president is under anesthesia…
More conspiracy theorizing from the concern trolls.
NPR is saying that Joe's Covid symptoms are 'resolving'. Meanwhile all the power brokers are waxing poetic on Joe's proud and monumental legacy, his great beneficent contributions to society, so forth.
But the longer it goes without Joe appearing, the weirder it's going to get. It means they're still battling.
So the VP is "filling in" for the president. In what capacity, and for how long?
Was the 25th amendment invoked? Does anyone in the media even pretend to give a damn?
The important thing about Kamala Harris is that she's drunk, according to Scott Adams, who claims to be able to spot that.
mccullough asked ... "Did we just have another coup?"
Until Biden or his body is produced ... yes.
Mark noted: "More conspiracy theorizing from the concern trolls.
And it's working, Mark. It's an effective tactic because it works and it's something our side enjoys and your side hates. We learned that tactic from reading a book called "Rules For Radicals," by the domestic terrorist Saul Alinsky. Obama recommended it to us.
Another Old Lawyer asked: "is there a law that requires presidential pardons to be publicly disclosed"
Under Justice Department "rules" (which they can break, conveniently, but you can't) the Office of Pardon Attorney must mail warrants of pardon to recipients who get one to notify them of their grant of clemency.
However no law requires that the pardon be published anywhere.
So yes, Joe Biden has secretly pardoned Hunter Biden. And you won't find out about it in time for it to be meaningfully challenged or be politically detracting.
If the object of the delay is to make MAGA Republicans look batty before Joe Biden makes his big speech later in the week, the plan is succeeding marvelously. It also helps to drum up viewers for the speech.
The depth of her shallowness is a challenge for even the greatest oceanographers.

Yeah, it is perfectly normal for the President of the United States to elect to not run for re-election, despite being adamant that he was running for a second term just a couple of days ago, via an X post and then not making a public appearance to confirm it. You do realize this is how we hear about leaders stepping down in banana republics, right?
If that makes critics look batty, then we are living in an insane world. This is basic stuff here. Then again, this is the Biden administration where basic stuff is far beyond their capabilities.
Embrace the insanity is surely a take.
It is interesting that with speculation running across the interwebs about the Biden resignation from the candidacy that there is no clarifying communication.
three possibilities I can think of, but I am pretty much a linear thinker, so there may be other options.
1) The Bidens (some of all three) have not fully bought into the plan and are fighting it, so they care in seclusion by other powers that can control access.
2) Biden has not been coherent enough to speak and so they have to wait it out a bit longer (or he is dead and they are building their media plan)
3) They see all of this and want the right to get out over their skis before they prove it was all conspiracy theory and Biden is perfectly fine, thank you very much.)
I think it is #2. Probably not dead, but they need to diminish the negative effects of his appearance so that they do not have a stronger push to have him resign the Presidency too.
Any moment now I expect to see a chyron crawling across the bottom of an MSNNBC screen:
"Biden Shot While Trying to Escape"
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
― George Orwell, 1984
Biden has just been humiliated by Pelosi, Obama, and the media. It might take a day or two to simmer down enough to speak without the anger showing through.
Kamala knows deep. Just ask Willie Brown. She went real deep for him.
The New York Post is now reporting that Joe Biden was threatened: Either he gave up the nomination as the Democrat Party nominee for President, or he would be removed from office via the 25th Amendment.
This is officially a coup, now.
Threatening the President of the United States to force him out of an election campaign is a crime.
This is why they are HIDING Joe Biden and Jill Biden.
As far as we know, they could be being held hostage.
Here is the link to the Post's story on the coup:
https://nypost.com/2024/07/22/us-news/top-dems-threatened-to-remove-biden-unless-he-resigned/
For the record, Biden did NOT commit suicide.
More conspiracy theorizing from the concern trolls.
When the President and presumptive nominee for the next term suddenly ends his reelection campaign - and I mean suddenly, as in mere hours after defiantly stating he's not going anywhere, but by the way does not resign the presidency, and that announcement is made only over social media in writing (I'll good over the signature thing because I don't know if it's true), and his doctors say that his COVID symptoms are improving but no one has even taken a still picture of him much less a video since he began to "self-isolate," don't you think it's reasonable to ask to see him?
Not to disturb him - I'm not saying he should move up the "big speech" to which Left Bank refers - but even a still picture would be better than the "he's doing better, not well yet, but better, and by the way, he's still entirely competent to be president but he's just not feeling like saying anything right now, so everyone just be patient, 'kay?"
We are being told that we have a head of state who is not only capable of doing his job but is in fact doing his job at this moment, even while recovering from COVID that was initially described as giving him mild symptoms. (My first of two bouts of COVID, which was very mild and symptoms of which lasted only about 36 hours, was marked by crushing, early-pregnancy-like fatigue for that first day, so I'm not downplaying even mild symptoms.) But we all know that for at least 90 minutes three weeks ago, he was manifestly unable to do his job. Why is it unreasonable to want proof that he's not in the throes of another debilitating episode?
There is one reason not to do that: national security. And that's why we do have the temporary handoff provision. Is Harris acting CinC right now? If she is, is that information supposed to be public knowledge? I honestly don't know - but if making it public knowledge would also be a national security risk, then shouldn't this year's voters be allowed to know that?
Deeply. If Dr. Jill had a PhD instead of an ED D you can be assured that her thesis would be piled highly and deeply.
Of course one of the pertinent questions today, considering Joe's encroaching senility is whether Joe realizes that he's resigned from the race. Not certain that he does realize that.

You got a statute to back up that assertion? What bloody nonsense you offer!
If they haven't killed Joe Biden yet, this revelation on the front page of the New York Post about the perpetrators and co-conspirators threats they used to get him to withdraw and going to require that Joe Biden dies shortly. I fear for his life.
I hope the Secret Service isn't near him.
Effingayright demands the statute:
Under 18 U.S. Code § 871, threatening the President is a Class E felony. The maximum sentence is 5 years in federal prison, a $250,000 fine, 3 years of supervised release, and a $100 special assessment.
I don't believe any of this.
Why, just last week he was wrestling a bear in between winning chess tournaments and solving the three body problem.
"Biden Dies of COVID19 While Trying to Escape"

These Dem elites really are a bunch of F-ups. Hiding one bad thing after another. Anointing one nominee after another. And all the while stating what a threat Trump is because he wants to MAGA, LOL. Is there a cheat clue we can find that will help us skip through this garbage?

If even the most infinitesimal percentage of this is true, we have a political crisis on our hands not seen since Watergate in its banality and South Carolina's secession in its severity.

Idiot! Such "threats" are to his person, such as threatening bodily harm. Political threats are not covered by that statute.
You might as well say the Congress "threatens" the POTUS when it says it will impeach and remove him if engages in what it sees as a "high crime or misdemeanor".
Bloody nonsense to the nth power.
Deeply is also a euphemism for wading.
You cannot THREATEN the President of the United States to COMPEL him to take an official action. That's TREASON and a HIGH-CRIME.
Whoever did this, The NY Post owes its readers a rundown of the names of the co-conspirators. This is UNBELIEVEABLE to read this in The Post and they don't name the criminals who have executed this coup.
Using the 25th Amendment to remove a President from office is perfectly legal, and would have required public action by a varities of parties including Republicans in Congress. Nixon was told privately that he would be impeached and convicted but chose to resign instead. If Biden actually choose to end his campaign rather than be publicly forced from office there's nothing illegal about it.
Have Jill or Kamala watched Misery? It's an evocative work documenting obsession... for women.
Christopher B claimed: "If Biden actually choose to end his campaign rather than be publicly forced from office there's nothing illegal about it."
If he was threatened, then that's illegal. That's a crime. You cannot COMPEL the President of the United States to give up a re-election campaign by THREATENING to do something to him. Even something tangentially legal.
It's a coup. Plain and simple. And the NY Post owes it to its readers to name those who threatened our President.

Tulsi Gabbard 🌺
@TulsiGabbard
The same people running the country with Biden as their figurehead will continue to run the country with Kamala Harris as their figurehead — or whichever democrat may end up as their nominee. The people who have actually been running the country are the unelected power elite from the national security state, military industrial complex, with the giant propaganda media acting as their mouthpiece.
Kamala Harris is completely unqualified to be commander-in-chief, whose responsibility is to keep our country safe and secure. She not only couldn’t protect our border—she didn’t even want to. And repeated lied claiming, “our border is secure!”
https://x.com/TulsiGabbard/status/1815340306252141043
Dixus cites 18 U.S. Code § 871.
This says it is illegal to make "any threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict great bodily harm upon the president of the United States". So I don't think it applies here.
Nevertheless, what the NYPost reports is certainly highly unethical. If those threatening to apply the 25th consider him to be currently unfit then they are obliged to vote to remove him ASAP. If they think he is fit to continue as president then threatening to apply the 25th anyway is abhorable.
Ace is suggesting that maybe the Cabinet DID vote already and that Joe Biden is no longer the President and that Kamala Harris - now doing pressers out of the White House - is actually the acting current President.
And that with the vote, they coerced Biden to bow out in order to keep that vote a secret.
I don't know if that's true ... but we could ask Joe Biden that question.
If he wasn't being held somewhere, possibly against his will.
"Our vice president is smart and strong" - just heard from some Congressperson.
That... sounds kind of like "The president is sharp as a tack," doesn't it?
People need to realize that there is billions in federal income tax credits and federal spending on the line in this election.
The Dems care more about their money and power than they do about their country.
Line of the day about being stuck with Kamala: the Dems are boxed in.
The SOURCE of the NY Post story is the Biden Family.
"The well-orchestrated “palace coup” to stop the faltering president seeking re-election has been in place for weeks, but stubborn Biden fought against it every step of the way, a source close to the Biden family told The Post Monday.
The Biden family (sources) are saying that Biden was threatened. And that he was coerced into signing that document and that the attempted coup has been ongoing for "weeks."
This is an ASTOUNDING piece of journalism. Presumably, the Biden family source knows the name of the perpetrators of this heinous treason. One would hope The NY Post would have the ethics to print those names and seek comment on the accusations being made by the Biden family.
"Embrace the insanity is surely a take."
Or as Kamala likes to say, "Embrace the suck."
I'm not a big conspiracy person - but the last 10 days is taxing my credulity.
Trump's SS at a open air rally is stripped to bare minimum - to redirect agents to a Jill Biden dinner event - and a shot is taken by him from an inexplicable situation that only missed killing him because he turned his head at the last second. Put aside all the other crazy stuff that has come out about how well spotted the shooter was and how many shots he got off.
All audio communications from that day was recorded and is now no longer available, per director of SS congressional testimony.
Biden withdraws from the election through a printed statement published to X/Twitter and makes no appearances to validate - all blamed on COVID. Neither he nor Jill make any public appearances and all meetings are cancelled.
Kamala is suddenly the new Democratic lead and is speaking from the White House as the official voice - as if she's assumed the role of President.
........
I've never seen or heard anything like this in our nation's history. The confluence of those events, back to back, without true stability or reassurance from executive leadership, is staggering. And I don't think it's done.

Again? The SS did the same thing with texts from Jan.5 and 6th. After the Oversight Committee officials requested them, they were erased.
“The US Secret Service erased text messages from January 5 and 6, 2021, shortly after they were requested by oversight officials investigating the agency’s response to the US Capitol riot, according to a letter given to the House select committee investigating the insurrection and first obtained by CNN.”

Oh, there's definitely some BS being spread around these days.......and it ended with a wide open shot at Trump's head from personnel who saw the shooter well BEFORE the shooter shot....and let the shooter get in position....and then shoot....before taking him out.
Oh yeah. There's definitely BS afoot....and its not just words in a hoax dossier that Inga went down on like it was Kamala and Willie Brown.
And isn't it something? Inga has offered up quite a few posts over the years wondering where Melania and Barron and other Trump family members are.....but she is quite incurious as to the whereabouts and state of a "President" who hasn't been seen in 5 days...who "resigns" via a pdf on X.

I'm just looking forward to seeing Kamala debate Trump. It should be a riot. That would be a good time for her to catch Covid herself.
Why thats been more cogent than hes been in 30 years
“Biden just called in. Somebody needs to shut him up. Going on and on.”
Ooops I guess all the rumors and conjecture about Biden being tied up in restraints on his death bed aren’t true. Maybe everyone can stop with the hysterical rumor mongering, entertaining but dumb. Biden said he loved Kamala, he doesn’t sound bitter.
Did he now, muttman…
Remember- the adults are back in charge now.
Feel better?
“I'm just looking forward to seeing Kamala debate Trump. It should be a riot.”
Not going to happen, Trump is already trying to back out. I suspect Trump is scared shitless of Kamala. The felon debating the prosecutor, oh yes that would be fun, but won’t happen, alas.
AI Joe Biden sounded great on that call.
Biden read his script fairly well and shared his political “love” for Quemala, as only a political hack grifter can do.
“I, Al Haig, am in control here at the White House...”
Kamala is already wiping the floor with Trump. He’s a goner.
Very lifelike

Inga: "Not going to happen, Trump is already trying to back out. I suspect Trump is scared shitless of Kamala. The felon debating the prosecutor, oh yes that would be fun, but won’t happen, alas."

Inga just repurposed her earlier BS Trump vs Biden pre-debate talking points and substituted Kamala for Biden!
Kamala couldn't get 1% in the dem primary and Tulsi 1-punched her ass right out of the primary! That's what happens when you "rise" in democratical politics due to sexual favors and then ride the wave of a 1 party state into office.
But then again, Inga has never been burdened by what has been.....
"The walls are closing in!" redux.
@Inga,
Ooops I guess all the rumors and conjecture about Biden being tied up in restraints on his death bed aren’t true.
Oh, sure, Inga. That's why he didn't get chaffeur-driven over the short distance from Rehoboth to Wilmington to speak to his own campaign staffers. Or, how about a Zoom session? I mean, that's as common as can be now.
Nope. That phone conversation was an AI fake, which is very easy to do now. It would take a CIA/FBI IT pro 30 minutes to put that recording together.
I fear for President Biden's life. I fear he is either being held hostage (which is why they won't fire the head of the USSS, because she runs the detail holding him hostage) or that he is already dead.
Inga, this is easy to fix. Have President Biden show up in front of reporters and discuss his resignation from his candidacy. Have it be socially distanced. Why is this so much to ask after one of the most momentous events in the history of the American presidency?
How is she any different than Alexander Haig in 1981?
Kamala was deeply, deeply sure that Biden was fit to stay in office 4 days ago. But he just stepped aside because why? When the shock and awe of this "process" wanes I think Biden will resign the presidency. The only explanation will be "he put country first". We seem to be living in a small Eastern European country now.
"Saving our Democracy" one coup at a time.

Oh man, you people are losing your minds.
Then why won't he show up? How difficult is this to do? Do you not watch the news or read any other political matter online? We're not the only people asking these questions.
There are lots of legal issues with getting Kamala Harris on the ballots in many states (e.g. Wisconsin). Do you know what makes most of these legal issues moot and allows the candidate to be replaced? If the candidate dies.
Where is our President, Inga?
She hasnt cared in four years why would she care now.
“There are lots of legal issues with getting Kamala Harris on the ballots in many states (e.g. Wisconsin). Do you know what makes most of these legal issues moot and allows the candidate to be replaced? If the candidate dies.”
Wrong.
”Gullible News Media Give Credence to Heritage Foundation Analysis that Says it Would be Difficult for Democrats to Nominate Someone Other than President Biden”
“No, States Would Not Be Forced to Keep Biden on the Ballot If He’s Not the Democratic Party’s Nominee from the DNC”
“For example, the memo, embedded here, cites to a provision of Wisconsin law 8.35(1) about replacing nominees when they withdraw from office after nomination. But Biden has not yet been nominated. And there’s a specific rule for presidential nominees set forth in 8.16(7):
Nominees chosen at a national convention and under s. 8.18 (2) by each party entitled to a partisan primary ballot shall be the party’s candidates for president, vice president and presidential electors. The state or national chairperson of each such party shall certify the names of the party’s nominees for president and vice president to the commission no later than 5 p.m. on the first Tuesday in September preceding a presidential election. Each name shall be in one of the formats authorized in s. 7.08 (2) (a).”
The bleat goes on...
Luckily I am the calm moderate in these situations. Joe Biden's doctor declared him in completely excellent health two days ago, so it's entirely fair to wait until Tuesday night for Biden to speak.
But... If we continue the Weekend at Bernie's game much longer than that... Well, reasonable people are going to conclude that a cabal of foreign traitors murdered the legitimate President to install a Jezebel.
I didn't think it was plausible that normal Americans would take up avenging Joe Biden as a rallying cry, but we are there. The worst part is that even a natural expected death would be incredibly shady under the circumstances! Even if it happened tomorrow.
@Inga,
Your problem is that you believe to the core of your being that "Oh, my side would never do something like that". Well, you need to review just how many hoaxes and conspiracies "your side" has peddled to the American public from 2016 on, not like from QAnon or Alex Jones, but involving players in the highest positions of power in the government.
The same people who peddled those conspiracies to protect their power are looking at their worst nightmare coming true, i.e. a new and re-energized Trump administration. If you think they are going to see themselves lose power because one demented old Irish-American coot won't get out of the way, you are being criminally naive.
The NYT, as of 13:30: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/07/22/us/politics/kamala-harris-democrats-endorsement-list.html
"Most Democrats were quick to issue statements commending Mr. Biden for his years of service after he announced he was dropping his re-election bid. Many offered their support for Ms. Harris to be the party’s nominee, though several key leaders did not immediately back her."
215 publicly supported Ms. Harris: 16 governors, 36 senators, 163 representatives
57 issued statements but did not specify support for Ms. Harris: 7 governors, 10 senators, 40 representatives
10 have not commented: 1 senators, 9 representatives
Pelosi, Newsome, Shapiro have endorsed while thus declaring they're not challenging her. Bill and Hillary have endorsed, Pritzker, Whitmer too. Father and son Soros, too.
Obama has not endorsed.
Still battling, then. I wonder if Obama has been given the old heave-ho, with the Democratic Party Old Guard seizing back control of the palace? Starting to look like it.
And I seriously doubt that Dixcus truly cares about what happened/happens to Biden. He claims Biden is his president, lol.
You know, I've always thought Biden was creepy, dim, venal... but he is still the President of the United States, the country of which I'm a citizen. That makes him my president, whether I like him or not. (I know this doesn't apply to some Democrats because Trump is just different, just as W was different, Reagan was different, Nixon was different... Even Bush the Elder was different.)
And I care very much about my country, and have to wonder what's going on in certain minds overseas right now. Don't you?
It took a while for me to stop and wonder why we do not see President Biden himself make this announement.
Did someone other than Joe Biden decide and announce this? I don't think that's the case but how would we know?
There are two good reasons to believe Biden isn't dead.1. The secret service. The agents on the ground might - and do - hide embarrassing things that go on. Covering up a death, even for a moment, would be beyond the pale for any of them.
Reason 2 is also the reason he's not fully incapacitated or unconscious.
2. The football carrier is with him, not Kamala. If the football carriers start appearing at Kamala's side without an announcement it's time to start demanding answers.
Inga sez "No, no, Nanook! Nothing at all suspicious about Old Joe not being seen! Only crazy people think there is anything wrong with a president that has vanished for 5 days after declaring only God could make him stop running! And the fact that his wife and family are MIA? No problem! Stop making wild theories!"
This is the same Inga who screamed how suspicious it was Melania was not saying anything for a day.
Why hasn't Inga the self-declared mind-reading savant already told us what condition "Old Joe" (who was Smart As A Whip Joe and Sharp As A Tack Joe literally weeks ago) is in?
Strange for her to decide to take her Carnival skills offline at this critical juncture after spending years telling us what literally hundreds of other people are REALLY thinking, particularly Melania...whom Inga called an escort.

“No, States Would Not Be Forced to Keep Biden on the Ballot If He’s Not the Democratic Party’s Nominee from the DNC”
Did you read the goddamn article you linked? Here's the link.
All the court rulings it discusses are about the seating of delegates not putting candidates on the ballot! Why would any state allow the national party to disenfranchise its voters at whim? Isn't this why reformers in American politics railed against candidates getting chosen and elected in "smoke filled rooms"? State laws control who gets to be on their ballots, and yanking candidates off after their voters elected them in the primaries really does give off a bad odor.
Buuuut, from historical precedent, you know how delegates get released? When the candidate dies, just like when assassinated Robert Kennedy's delegates got released to vote for Hubert Humphrey in the 1968 Chicago convention.

Inga has long had the habit of just reading headlines which are routinely contradictory to the actual content in the article. When she does post article content, its invariably things she doesnt understand and that's why she gets so crossed up.
Worst part: after its pointed out to her how moronic her understanding of the article happens to be, she'll still internalize and believe her earlier misunderstanding. This leads to later hilarious results.
For instance, long after the russian collusion hoax was fully and completely exposed with al the key corrupted players identified, Inga was still linking to articles from 2 to 3 years earlier when there was less known and her lefty pals were using leaks and conjecture to advance the hoax!
There was an instance in 2020 where she linked back to an early 2017 article!
Good times, good times.

There's yer problem, right there.
Glenn Reynold's doesn't personally send you his articles, so you conclude he's written none. BRILLIANT resaoning!
Sorry, but the Sun does not shine from your fundament.
Why not go over to Substack and see what else he's been writing about lately. Or else go to USA Today. Or to Instapundit.
“I have been seeing stories like this and this citing to a Heritage memo saying that in some states it would be hard for Democrats to list someone other than Biden on the ballot if Democrats nominate someone else at the Democratic National Convention. I don’t put any credence into it. Joe Biden is not the party’s nominee now, and states generally point to the major party’s nominee as the one whose name is on the ballot.
For example, the memo, embedded here, cites to a provision of Wisconsin law 8.35(1) about replacing nominees when they withdraw from office after nomination. But Biden has not yet been nominated. And there’s a specific rule for presidential nominees set forth in 8.16(7):
Nominees chosen at a national convention and under s. 8.18 (2) by each party entitled to a partisan primary ballot shall be the party’s candidates for president, vice president and presidential electors. The state or national chairperson of each such party shall certify the names of the party’s nominees for president and vice president to the commission no later than 5 p.m. on the first Tuesday in September preceding a presidential election. Each name shall be in one of the formats authorized in s. 7.08 (2) (a).
And in the unlikely event that a state law would make Biden be forced to be listed on the ballot (I’m not even sure how that could be), then I expect litigation would place the actual nominee of the party on the ballot. Voters should have the right to vote for the party’s candidate, and there are cases that affirm this principle that go back a while.”

"And so the spin begins. Within minutes of Joe Biden announcing that he was dropping out of the presidential race, his sycophants were gushing over his ‘grace’. The New York Times marvelled like a wide-eyed idiot at the ‘historical rarity’ and ‘fundamental humility’ of a president bowing out for the good of the nation. Celebs lauded his ‘integrity’ in stepping down to ‘save democracy’. He has restored ‘honesty’ to politics after years of ‘scandal and chaos’, said Mark Hamill, as if Old Joe was Obi-Wan Kenobi to Trump’s Darth Vader. One Democratic governor hailed Biden for setting the ‘ultimate example’ to the American people. That example being what, exactly? That you should stubbornly stay in your job even when you know you can’t do it any more?"
https://www.spiked-online.com/2024/07/22/there-is-nothing-graceful-about-bidens-withdrawal-from-the-race/
The Dems have 2020 vision where Biden is concerned. They thought they could just use the 2020 strategy again. But it seems the arc of history is bending down toward the definitive book on Biden being entitled: Hiding Biden. And BTW, where is he right now? If he's extremely sick, he should be at the Naval Hospital. If he's not, he should appear with Dr. Jill and Hunter at his side and explain his decision.
Experts: Delegates Free to Pick Democratic Nominee
“Election law experts say House Speaker Mike Johnson is wrong when he says it is “unlawful” for Democrats to “simply just switch out a candidate who has been chosen through the … democratic process.”
Although President Joe Biden was chosen by the vast majority of primary and caucus voters, and amassed more than 99% of the pledged delegates who will meet at the Democratic National Convention in mid-August, he has not been formally nominated. And since he has voluntarily dropped out of the race, delegates pledged to him are no longer obligated to vote for him and can vote for someone else, experts told us.”
“Election law experts said Johnson is incorrect.
“First of all, the Democratic Party is not ‘replacing or switch[ing] out’ its nominee,” Edward B. Foley, the director of the election law program at Ohio State University, told us via email. “Biden was never the official nominee, only the presumptive nominee. The nominee is chosen by the delegates to the convention, either at the convention or in a virtual roll call beforehand, neither of which has occurred yet.
“Moreover, political parties have the constitutional right to determine the procedure by which they select their nominees, as repeatedly confirmed by the Supreme Court,” Foley said, citing the Supreme Court cases Democratic Party of United States v. Wisconsin ex rel. La Follette and California Democratic Party v. Jones.”
Frankly, it doesn't bother me that Joe had his arm twisted in some back room. It's probable that he twisted a few arms in his career. Now Kamala is in charge, as much as Joe was really in charge, i.e. not at all. The producers have recast the role of President, but the scriptwriters remain the same.
@Inga,
I am not talking delegates here. The delegates can do what the fuck they want to at the convention, bound only by what passes for a conscience.
I am talking about being a candidate on the state ballot for the November general election. If you can't get this essential distinction, there really isn't much use in continuing

Is there a news broadcast with Joe Biden's picture and his voice coming out?
Are they that stupid?
I'm just looking forward to seeing Kamala debate Trump. It should be a riot. That would be a good time for her to catch Covid herself.
Apparently, Trump is afraid to debate Harris.
“I am talking about being a candidate on the state ballot for the November general election. If you can't get this essential distinction, there really isn't much use in continuing.”
Sheesh, Biden was never formally on ANY state’s ballot. A nomineee doesn’t get put on the states’ ballot until he/she is nominated at the convention.
I think Inga is right on the law. Would be very happy to see her proved wrong, but I don't think she is.
YoungHegelian, strictly speaking, the candidates themselves are NOT on any state ballot. Our votes are cast for electors who have publicly declared their intention to vote for a specific candidate at the Electoral College in December. Nothing in the Constitution obligates them to do so. Some states have "faithless elector" laws that force them to vote for their pledged candidate, but they are of highly doubtful constitutionality, and even if such laws were enforced and the faithless electors were punished by their home states, their votes in the Electoral College would be valid just as they cast them.

Ballot access experts say Republican threats to sue over Biden's withdrawal are 'ridiculous' and 'frivolous'
‘WASHINGTON (AP) — Even before President Joe Biden’s long-speculated withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race, allies of former President Donald Trump floated the possibility of suing to block Democrats from having anyone other than Biden on the ballot in November.
But election administration and legal experts said the timing of Biden’s exit on July 21 makes it unlikely that any Republican ballot access challenges will succeed, with some calling the idea “ridiculous” and “frivolous.” Democrats are on safe legal ground as they identify a new standard-bearer, they say, because the party hasn’t officially chosen its nominee. That typically occurs with a vote of delegates at the party’s convention.”
The press are gushing over Biden. It's gross.
right in line with their democrat party media industrial complex - corrupt deluxe. .
Achilles asked, incredulously: "Did they seriously try to pass off a phone call as proof of life?"
Yes. Yes they did. Not a Zoom call. A telephone call. From a land line. Like AI doesn't exist. Or that we don't know that it exists and there's plenty of Cheap Fakes they themselves have been platforming.
I believe that Joe Biden has been murdered and you will never see him again. I might be wrong. But that is what I believe. Let's see what happens. I'm posting my predictions so they can be referred back to later.
A conspiracy theory...
They invoked the 25th Amendment.
In secret.
He's cancelled nine trips over the next two weeks. Those are a mixture of campaign stops and official president stops.
He no longer has COVID, according to his doctor.
But he's staying on vacay.
Supposed to go to Houston for hurricane recovery efforts on Thursday. Cancelled it.
Not coming back to D.C. to meet with Bibi tomorrow.
He's AWOL.
It might take a day or two to simmer down enough to speak without the anger showing through.
Since when has that stopped him? Look at his yelling and screaming at the NAACP convention just last week.
I also believe that the rest of his family is currently being blackmailed. I believe they've been told that if any one of them opens their mouth in protest, they're ALL going to prison.
That is why the FBI kept the laptop. There's LOTS of things on that laptop that you don't know about.
The Hill seems to have most of the "Biden" call, if you watch the video on this page.

You cannot be serious right now. I am still looking for the actual audio but they described it as obviously an impersonator err... hold on a sec...
"disturbingly slurred and raspy."
From Lily's link above:
“And by the way, I’m not going anywhere. I’m gonna be out there on the campaign with her, with Kamala. I’m going to be working like hell, both as a sitting president, getting legislation passed, as well as in campaigning,” Biden said.
“You know what? We still need to save this democracy and Trump is still a danger to the community, he’s a danger to the nation.”
Biden added: “I’ll be doing whatever Kamala wants me or needs me to do.”
“It is so good to hear our president’s voice,” Harris said as she spoke after Biden. “You aren’t going anywhere Joe!”
“I’m watching you kid! I love you!” the commander in chief chimed in.
“I love you too!” Harris replied.
It is really hard to describe how fucking stupid democrat voters are being right now.
I love you too!
Do you think you just fell out of a coconut tree?
Dixcus: "That is why the FBI kept the laptop. There's LOTS of things on that laptop that you don't know about."
What we do know about is already over the top bad, though its all just good clean fun for the Inga's.
Underage hookers, trafficked across state lines.
Speaking of lines, underage hookers doing drugs with naked Hunter (that dude sure does like to film himself....and perfectly "normal" according to our democraticals!)
Hunter's bizarre filming of himself and his niece in compromised circumstances..(hey, just like Joe showering with his 12 year old daughter!...also called perfectly "normal" by the democraticals)
And so much more.
But what Dixcus is getting at are all the pay-to-play emails showing the corrupted foreign dealings and payoffs along with some other sick things that have leaked out but have not been shown. The foreign dealings and payoffs all have confirmed bank transfer amounts and locations and recipients thru all the biden crime family shell companies.
More than enough to convince "old Joe" to back off and make way for another rigged primary by the New Soviet Democraticals.
Exit question: what is the current "value" (LOL") of a Hunter Biden "original" painting? It was $500,000 not that long ago so, maybe, what now? $1.99 at the Five Dollar Store? (not the Dollar Store any longer due to that mythical inflation that wasn't supposed to be here)
If he's extremely sick, he shouldn't be issuing letters stating that he's dropping out of the race, and endorsing Kamala. He should be issuing a statement saying "I'm very sick right now, but the doctors tell me I'll be better, and I will make a decision, and a statement, then."
If he's not extremely sick, he should say so and appear publicly.
If he put out that statement Yesterday while he was very sick, somebody did something very unethical.
What the hell is going on?
Yes it’s unbelievable because it’s most likely bullshit.
After the events of the last week and a half, I'd be holding off calling anything 'bullshit' at this point.
"Do you think you just fell out of a coconut tree?"
No, but I am excited about the prospects of Kamala being unburdened. I'm sure it will be quite remarkable.
Achilles quoted Obviously AI Joe Biden as saying: "Trump is still a danger to the community, he’s a danger to the nation.”
This is more proof they are trying to get patriotic (Democrat) Americans to murder Donald Trump for them.
If Trump is a DANGER to the community, he should be arrested. No?
If Trump is a DANGER to the nation, he should be eliminated. No?
If not, why not? Should the military take Trump out? If he is a DANGER to the nation?
They are still trying to get Donald Trump murdered, using Cheap Fake telephone calls allegedly from the President of the United States, who has not appeared in public for 5 days and may be dead or being held hostage. We don't know for sure.
Not going to happen, Trump is already trying to back out. I suspect Trump is scared shitless of Kamala. The felon debating the prosecutor, oh yes that would be fun, but won’t happen, alas.
Save that one for when Inga claims she never said it.

Is there more?
Making that recording with AI would be absolutely trivial at this point. Everyone is getting Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson voice ads that are better fakes than that online right now.
Even if it was Joe did they screw up and leave bruises on his face? Not even a video conference call?
By the way I don't want Democrats to change a single thing they are doing right now.
Not one single thing.
This will most likely end in the democrat party splitting between the corporatists and the squad soon.
Is Obama the only notable holdout left? Have we checked in with the squad?
The NY Post is reporting that Biden was threatened with the 25th Amendment unless he withdrew from campaign.
"palace coup"
Biden added: “I’ll be doing whatever Kamala wants me or needs me to do.”
Careful Joe!
You say stuff like that and you will end up doing what Kamala thinks her job is.

President of the United States THREATENED unless he withdrew from the race. So he withdrew, like the abject coward that he is.
I don't know if there's more somewhere else--that's all I could find of it online.
When I saw it live, "Biden" pretended to stay on the call when Harris gave her speech to the staffers, and then he interacted with her a little bit, which is where the "I love you" stuff happened. The first bit is just the girl standing at the podium, who pulls out a cell phone at one point and takes some pictures. The whole thing was surreal.
LOL! The "Trump is afraid to debate" meme going around just a month after being disproven the first time.
Maybe the Democrats need to arrange an debate for next week hosted by Little George and ABC to see if Harris is up for the challenge- otherwise they might need to force her out, too.
That probably was Biden on the phone call but there is a more than 20% chance they just got pranked.

I see the short bus has arrived and dropped of the Harris cheering section.
WoW, Field Marshall Freder has reappeared with a typical brain dead comment. Trump knew what Biden was like so, in spite of " advisors" advice" , he did the June debate accepting all of the regime's rules. How did that turn out, idiot? We have seen Kamala in public. I am looking forward to it.
We know, it’s not a good thing ma’am. Inga said:
All audio communications from that day was recorded and is now no longer available, per director of SS congressional testimony.”
Again? The SS did the same thing with texts from Jan.5 and 6th. After the Oversight Committee officials requested them, they were erased.
“The US Secret Service erased text messages from January 5 and 6, 2021, shortly after they were requested by oversight officials investigating the agency’s response to the US Capitol riot, according to a letter given to the House select committee investigating the insurrection and first obtained by CNN.”
It's probably me just being paranoid but the more posts I read from Dixcus the more he sounds like a n FBI/CIA plant.

It is far more realistic than that stupid recording they are floating.
By the way Obama hasn't endorsed Kamala yet. You know why? Because Kamala is polling so badly that Barack Obama knows he has to pull the eject cord and escape.
They have to pick a moore or cooper type. But that leaves the Squad out in the cold. They are already fuming because several of their members got primaried by the Jooos.
This election will very likely be the end of the Democrat party as incorporated.
Obama hasn't endorsed Kamala because Kamala isn't his candidate.

Walter Kirn points out the timeline that foreigners are seeing:
Donald Trump loses court cases in NYC and is fined hundreds of millions
Then: The Supreme Court issues its immunity decision, and most of the lawfare cases dissolve.
Then: Judge Cannon dismisses the Trump Documents case and bitch-slaps Subway Jack Smith.
Then: The assassination attempt misses.
Then: Trump quickly selects J.D. Vance, the non-establishment, non Deep State candidate and seals up the Republican nomination at a well-run, low chaos convention.
Then: Suddenly Joe Biden gets ill with COVID and isolates.
Then: A letter is issued stating that he resigns, with very little verifying information, no pictures of Joe, no video, no statement.
Then: It's off to the races with Kamala !
Kirn thinks it's not at all unimaginable that a foreign crisis could erupt (all by itself, ha ha) and suddenly the steady hand of an old expert, say, a former Secretary of State, might just step up and save the day for all of her adoring fans.
Or: The Kamala candidacy will get the full-blown Hollywood treatment with all the accoutrements of modern reality TV, perfectly produced and relentlessly filling the airwaves for the next 3 months.
Kirn says, wryly, that all of the information streams in today's media are compromised and lacking integrity - nothing can be believed now. There are no reliable sources left.
This is just the best.

Turn in your old signs and pick up the new ones: "Second Front Now!". In the Way We Were, it was all about "Ban The Bomb!"....but only the western bombs, never, ever the russki or chicom bombs. In 1979, the russkis seeing Carter's weakness moved intermediate tactical nukes into Eastern Europe without nary a complaint from the lefties. But when Reagan responded by moving tactical nukes into western europe the russkis ordered their voice-actuated lefties to protest everywhere...and their army of Ingas and Mutamans et al fell right into line.
The Biden / Kamala thing, just like everything else for these voice-actuated automatons, is precisely the same, which Yancey captures above very well.
The New Soviet Democratical Party leadership know their base very, very, very well. They know they can shove whatever they want down the throats of these cats and the cats will smile and do as they are told.
"A": Biden is the greatest! He is so very sharp! He's Dark Brandon and he's unstoppable! Trump is scared! NPCs: Hooray! We believe!
Next Day "B": Biden can't possibly continue! He's too sick! It's not his fault! It's really all about Kamala, who is the greatest! She is so very sharp! She is unstoppable! Trump is scared! NPC: Hooray! We believe!
Apparently, Trump is afraid to debate Harris.

If Trump wasn't afraid to debate Ted Cruz than he sure as hell isn't afraid to debate a lightweight like Kamala. She will break out in cackles because of HER nerves, and the country will see what a laughing hyena in human form sounds like.
"Last I heard of Reynolds was the day before Osama bin Laden was killed."
I remember when OBL was killed. Joe Biden was the only voice in the war room saying, "Don't do it Barack".
So did you quit "hearing" all the Biden sycophants at the same time?

Kirn doesn't know the difference between Ralph Cramden and Archie Bunker and you don't think that's a big deal?

Funny....Hunter's next scheduled court appearance is in 3 days, and AFAIK it's still on.
If he shows up, that would mean he's still being tried.
UNLESS he tells the judge in open court that Daddy has washed away his sins, past, present and future.
And that would be made public in the court's dismissal of the charges.
As Trump says,"We'll see what happens."

Drago works 50 hours a week for Clorex selling bleach. When he's not relaxing by drinking a big glass of his own product, he volunteers for Americans for Truth about Homosexuality.
He's a busy man but he still finds time to post on Althouse 24/7.

I suppose that really is the best you've got.
My condolences.

No. Not in the context of the discussion the panel was having regarding lower middle class working white men depicted in early TV shows and how they compare with our society today.
I'm sorry that was a degree of subtlety quite beyond your ken.
Better luck next time tiger. I wish you well.

I saw Walter Kirn on Gutfeld! the other night (nuff said), and he claimed that Meathead had a job working in the sewer.

LOL
Big, if true.
