swordfish Posted July 19, 2024 Author Posted July 19, 2024 Is Biden gonna stop 'ridin'? If this is the case and Harris is being excluded - what Democrat in their right mind would want to step into the campaign against a Trump/Vance ticket at this advanced date so close to the election? https://nypost.com/2024/07/19/us-news/bidens-family-in-talks-about-ending-2024-run-report/ Bitter Biden family members — racked by feelings of betrayal over fellow Democrats calling on the 81-year-old president to drop out — are reportedly in talks about how and when he should step down from the 2024 White House race. The powerful political clan is weighing the matter and taking into account the 81-year-old president’s health as well as the national interest, sources told NBC News. Privately, the family — including first lady Jill Biden, first son Hunter and sister Valerie Owens — feels disrespected by people they had considered friends in the Democratic establishment. “There was a much more dignified way to do this if this is what they wanted,” one Biden insider told the outlet. “This is no way to treat a public servant who has done a lot for this country.” Publicly, neither the White House nor the president’s campaign has given an indication that the re-election effort could be abandoned.
Bobref Posted July 21, 2024 Posted July 21, 2024 So, Biden throws in the towel. Now follows a sh*t show of mammoth proportions. And who is the beneficiary of this? Honestly, the only thing that appeals to me about Trump is that he’s got to be the luckiest SOB on the planet. One of the great Robber Barons of our time has been transformed, by overreaching prosecutors, into a martyr of sorts — a sort of modern day Robin Hood. His opponent pees down his leg on national TV. An assassin’s bullet merely clips his ear, scant inches from turning his head into a canoe. His opponent folds like a cheap suit, leaving the Blues scrambling like mad just a few months before the election If I were Trump, it’s time to go into the prevent defense, and just take the air out of the ball between now and November. 1
temptation Posted July 21, 2024 Posted July 21, 2024 The party claiming to attempt to “save democracy” just subverted democracy by spitting in the face of its voters/delegates by leaving the choice up to a few thousands elites. Rich.

Rich. Afraid they might put up someone who could actually beat Trump? I suppose anything’s possible. But what have the Dems done recently that would lead anyone to believe they might get this right? Their standard barrier for the last 8 yrs. has been a senile sock puppet. I’m confident they will screw this up.

I suppose they landed on the right amount of dollars to get the President to fold up and stay home (he's gonna be pissed when he finds out he dropped out of the race) VP Harris is gonna be surprised at the amount of backlash she is actually up against in her own party. SF wonders if she is expecting a Hillary style reception in the party as reality is beginning to appear with the party elites that she is gonna be worse than Biden.

Kamala Harris is the VP because her skin is black and she has no Y chromosome. Those are OK qualifications for a VP, but not for the leader of the free world. If there are still Democrats worthy of the name, they’ll jettison her and start over. They have about 4 weeks to find someone. 2

Wear your mask and social distance by 6 feet in the name of science. Those who are vaccinated will not get or spread Covid. White supremacy remains America’s biggest threat today. We had a largely successful withdrawal from Afghanistan. I stood up to Putin. The border is secure. The president is as sharp as anyone has ever seen him. I have a feeling that this list will be added to over the next 100 days but have pause that any ramifications or a reckoning will come because you know…”Trump.” Edited July 23, 2024 by temptation

temptation Posted July 23, 2024 Posted July 23, 2024 (edited) The main difference in the two political parties in modern times is that people on the right think people on the left are people with bad policies. People on the left think people on the right are simply bad PEOPLE. Look no further than the assassination attempt last week and ask yourself these two questions… 1. What if it had been Biden or Obama on that stage and an assassination attempt took place? What would be the narrative/national response? 2. Had Trump actually been struck with the bullet in the head/brain, many on the left would be doing backflips claiming the shooter did America a favor. Edited July 23, 2024 by temptation

No, the main difference between the two side of the uni-party coin is whose money they want to confiscate to fund their big government schemes. All this crap around social policies, like abortion, gay marriage, drug legalization, etc. is just that, crap that government shouldn't for the most part be involved with in the first place. Democrats want to steal from the "rich". Republicans want to steal from the "poor".
Muda69 Posted July 24, 2024 Posted July 24, 2024 https://www.newsweek.com/lauren-boebert-conspiracy-theory-biden-dead-proof-life-1928966 Quote Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has repeatedly demanded "proof of life" from Joe Biden, amid a MAGA conspiracy theory that the President is dead. Biden is currently recovering from a Covid-19 infection, but official updates from the White House and his doctor about his condition have not been enough to assure Boebert that he is alive. Some celebrities, including country musician John Rich, have also demanded an appearance from Biden. Boebert has posted a series of demands on X, formerly Twitter, calling for video evidence that Biden is alive and in control of his faculties. Similar unsubstantiated allegations of a cover-up hiding Biden's death or incapacity are circulating online, with allegations posted by members of the Donald Trump-supporting MAGA movement. Covid-stricken Biden has not been seen publicly for several days as he recovers from the infection while isolating at his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. But he was seen in videos boarding Air Force One in Las Vegas and walking down the steps again unaided after arriving in Delaware. ... Republican politician Boebert took to X on Monday to say: "I demand proof of life from Joe Biden today by 5:00pm. He needs to get in front of some camera and discuss if he's aware that he dropped out [of the presidential race]. Hiding is completely unacceptable." Her post was shared by other X users 23,000 times and garnered 14,000 comments. Some respondents agreed with her, with one commentator saying it was "a national security issue [because] America needs competent and visible leadership," while another added that Biden's "absence and the timing are suspicious," and others alleged without evidence that Biden had been deposed by "a coup" and that his signature had been forged on the statement. But most replied to mock or dismiss her claims, with some commentators accusing her of showing "disrespect" to an elderly man who was battling an illness, while others slammed the politician for appearing to "peddle the latest conspiracy theory." Undeterred, Boebert continued to post demands through the day, saying a couple of hours later: "Again, I am calling for a proof of life appearance of Joe Biden." And when the White House published a letter from Physician to the President Kevin O'Conner, Boebert shared the document online with the caption: "A letter from a doctor is not proof of life. For the third time today, I'm asking Joe Biden to provide the American people with proof of life." Newsweek has reached out by email to both Boebert and the White House, seeking comment.
