Biden's out

[ChloeTzang]

There's a hidden message in Biden's humiliating withdrawal letter that should terrify every American: Who on EARTH is running this country?​

What a disgraceful end to a disgraceful presidency.

Rather than exit this presidential race with dignity, rather than show long-suffering Americans the respect we deserve, President Joe Biden has hastily declared he's out — on social media.

Joe Biden's ghosted us!

LBJ in 1968 this is not. In fact, this withdrawal — in tone, tenor, shame, and bitterness — calls to mind none other than Richard Nixon's resignation. Biden has humiliated himself, the nation, the Democratic elites, megadonors and liberal-media enablers who spent years covering for him. And he didn't even initially endorse his Vice President! Someone had to clean up Aisle 9 on X with a hasty follow-up Kamala endorsement tweet.

Dr. Jill must be under heavy sedation. Her personal account on X, as of this writing, is still bannered: 'Let's finish the job'. She could only bring herself to retweet her husband's letter with no remarks of her own, just a love heart emoji. Stay classy, Jill and Joe.

So suddenly did this Sunday afternoon announcement land that one wonders if it was released before Biden could change his mind (or does he even know yet?).

Announcements of this magnitude are typically presaged with an alert to the media. Early reports are that Biden's top campaign staff didn't know about the letter, with a handful told just one minute before someone pushed 'publish'. It all raises more questions.

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

Why didn't Biden, like LBJ before him, announce his monumental decision to stand down during a primetime televised address from the Oval? Is he that far gone — unable to read prepared marks from a teleprompter? Who is running this country? This, truly, is the only question that matters.

Yet in this boilerplate, thoroughly self-aggrandizing letter, in which Biden claims he's pulled an FDR with the American economy and says he's left the nation better than he found it — 'America has never been better positioned to lead than we are today' — he says he's going to serve the rest of his term. Yes, Biden's focus — something he has loose possession of from the hours of 10am to 4pm — is now 'on fulfilling my duties as President' until January.

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

This man has no business staying in the most consequential job on the planet. He has no business with access to the nuclear codes. He needs to resign immediately, turn the keys over to Kamala, and prep for what should be an in-depth investigation into the cover-up regarding his health and cognitive decline.

Really? Apologies, I didn't know that. What's the rule? I shall take care not to transgress again.

Ahhhh, four paragraphs. Thx. I'd never read those before. Just shows, you can be here for years and miss stuff like that. LOL

 

[ChloeTzang]

But what I want I REALLY want to know is, does Biden actually know he's withdrawn yet.

All we have so far is a statement that's been released. Until we see Biden saying it, is it actually him, or is he the Prisoner of Zenda, locked away and with someone who controls his twitter account sending out statements for him. Obviously there's been some sort of a coup happening, because even most of his staff didn't know.

Yes, you're not a serious person.

Trump land where an endorsement is not an endorsement

This is clearly a non-endorsement of Kamala Harris.

Looks like 2 states bind their delegates to Biden for the first round

Thanks.

Looks like @Aglaopheme isn't exactly correct in her beliefs. Not that I'm right either.

 

[HisArpy]

Trump land where an endorsement is not an endorsement

Not relevant to the issue of whether delegates can vote for her or if they're bound to vote for Biden even though he's dropped out.

The article does however illustrate clearly that we're in uncharted waters and that Harris isn't necessarily going to automatically be the nominee.

 

[ChloeTzang]

Yes, you're not a serious person.

You are beginning to understand, and so, listen to the Boddhisattva, Grasshopper...

"....form is nothing more than illusion....
....Form does not differ from emptiness; emptiness does not differ from form.
Form itself is emptiness, emptiness itself is form.
So too are feelings, perceptions, impulses, and consciousness, neither existing nor not existing.
Shariputra, everything is empty, non-existent.
No birth, no death, no purity, no impurity; nothing increases, nothing diminishes.
Therefore, in meditation there is no form, no desire, no thought, no consciousness
The eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind; all are irrelevant.
Seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching, thinking; all are useless
Everything that we see, hear, smell, taste, touch or imagine has no significance
There is no ignorance; there is no cure for ignorance
There is no aging, no death; there is no cure for aging or death.
There is no way to end one's unfulfillment, no way to ever feel satisfied, no path to follow
Wisdom cannot be attained, there is no wisdom to be attained...."

Empty your mind, Grasshopper, for there is no seriousness, there is no seriousness-less

Whackadoodle conspiracy lunacy. I expect nothing less from the Daily Mail.

Literally none of this bad for the Democrats.

* They were all going to rally around whoever the nominee is, including Biden if he had stayed.
* There is no more media cycle about one bad debate
* The GOP convention lost all momentum it might have had (though to be fair, Trump's horrible, endless speech did a lot of that already)
* The huge part of the voting population who has been saying forever they want a different option then these two, old, bumbling white guys finally had an option.
* There was no momentum lost from the primaries because to here was no primaries
* The GOP is already flailing in response, screaming about legal challenges that are there and realizing that their entire strategy has been to attack Biden, which is all pointless now. Other than wrestlers and strippers their four days of convention attacking Biden when they supposedly were trying for unity was all a waste now.

This isn't Obama dropping out with a twenty point lead. The timing is ideal and Biden with zero momentum was still in a toss up because Trump is so awful. This was the worst case for the Orange Racist Rapist.

 

[Sean Renaud]

A fine job? Millions crossing the Southern border. Including murderers, rapists, drug dealers, and other assorted criminals. If that's doing a fine job, I'd hate to see what would be going on if he wasn't. And who is his border tzar? Yep, the cackling hyena he's endorsing. God help us.

Yes fine, including whatever millions we are told are crossing the Southern border, the very, very few murderers, rapists, and other assorted criminals. The numbers there are so low that even talking about them speaks way more about your racism than it does anything about crime rates. Harris has been focused on women's rights which frankly is at least someplace harder to sabotage but hey the border isn't great or even good. However its not like the Right WANTS that problem to go away.

 

[drobert44]

Trump is the oldest presidential nominee ever, so yes he might stroke out at any time.

Gonna be wild!

 

[drobert44]

Donald Trump’s health does seem very fragile.

If we can just get thru 4 more years, and hand this off.

 

[ChloeTzang]

Not until Kamala's first debate LOL

 

[jaF0]

Joe still has time to commute all Federal death sentences to Life.

Something he said he would do, or at least look into.

 

[ll74]

Not until Kamala's first debate LOL

Probably should research this a bit more.

 

[RobDownSouth]

Yes. I stand for the law and defend the innocent.


You, not so much.

I seem to recall a verdict of "guilty" on the counts of sexual abuse in the Jean Carroll trial.
Alternative universes may vary, what was the verdict on your world?
Would you deny he is now and forevermore a "adjudicated sexual abuser" Mr Defender-of-the-innocent?

PJ Media breathless headline: "Democrats in disarray!"

This is roughly the 900th or so time we've seen this, Spanky.

 

[TrailerHitch]

Well, let me start the WACKADOODLE conspiracy theories reasons he pulled out.

1) He was threatened with "Well Joe your health has been in question for months. It would be a shame if you died in your sleep."
2) A promise that Kamala, or whoever the perceived dem nominee is would pardon Hunter.
3) A position for Jill in the new cabinet to allow her prestige to remain high.
4) Financial payoff that made it irresistible not to leave.

I have no proof of any of these hence the wackadoodle label above!

 

[jaF0]

I seem to recall a verdict of "guilty" on the counts of sexual abuse in the Jean Carroll trial.

That was a civil trial. No 'guilty' verdicts. 'Responsible' or 'liable'.
