Right now, there's questions whether the guy's even alive.  Just for national security, he needs to provide proof that he is.  That's not a vanity thing.  It's a national security thing.

 

If he's too sick to do a Zoom call, where was the transfer of power?  Who is running the country? 

 

Where is Biden hiding?  No photos, no voice calls, nothing.   I understand that he might be sicker than everyone thought, but a little transparency would be nice.

I understand he called into an event to support Kamala, but his voice was raspy and there were questions whether it was a deep fake.

You can ask the Secret Service.

How is Kamala Harris as the candidate going to impact turnout in November for women, blacks and South Asians, compared to Joe Biden?

History will not be kind to Biden. 

 

He couldn't quit until he did a deal with Harris. Hence the announcement followed later by the endorsement. 

 

His price for leaving was a guaranteed pardon for Hunter after the tax trial. September is going to be dominated by influence peddling and money laundering testimony at the California trial. 

 

Hunter cannot be pardoned before election day, the electorate won't like that. Biden can't quit before Harris is officially nominated at earliest. So there's a narrow "pardon" window. 

 

Here's the problem for Harris. She's going to get hammered by the GOP asking if she has agreed to pardon Hunter. 

 

Joe has handed her a bag of angry rattlesnakes during election season. Well done, Joe. 

 

My prediction. Trump is his own worst enemy and hatred of Trump will see him defeated. The only way he wins is if Harris has an utter meltdown. Or if Trump has an October Surprise lined up. 

 

I've already seen a week's old video where Trump said Biden was standing down and Harris was replacing him. He's of the opinion she'll be easier to beat than Biden. 

 

People saying Trump is terrified have got it wrong. 

Was the sources your presenting come from QAnon or Newsmax or both?

weird right, assassination failed and now biden can go to a retirement home where he belongs

Speaking of transparency, where is Trump's medical report? What happened to his ear?

 

Was there brain damage? How could they tell?

Apparently, they don't know anything. They just tell you to ask the FBI.

 

They're the Sgt Schultz of alphabet agencies.

 

Edit: I remember when they were two of the most respected agencies in the world.  It's sad.

Biden can pardon Hunter Biden on January 19, 2025.

What I expected Trump advisors getting a bit worried.

 

Why Trump Suddenly Thinks Picking J.D. Vance Was a Mistake

Republicans may be starting to second-guess their party’s pick for vice president.


Much of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, including the decision to tap Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate, was structured around attacks on President Joe Biden. But then Biden announced Sunday that he was withdrawing from the presidential race altogether.

Trump campaign officials acknowledged that Trump selected the inexperienced Vance, charged with all his techno-authoritarian ideas, to boost support among their own base, not extend a hand to swing voters, according to The Atlantic. Vance was a symbol of the Trump team’s assuredness that they would win in 2024. Come Sunday, that assuredness appears to be shrinking.


“Most striking thing I heard from Trump allies yesterday was the second-guessing of JD Vance—a selection, they acknowledged, that was [born] of cockiness, meant to run up margins with the base in a blowout rather than persuade swing voters in a nail-biter,” Atlantic staff writer Tim Alberta, who had written the piece about the panicking Trump campaign, posted on X (formerly Twitter).


Trump decried Biden’s decision to drop out in a post on Truth Social, writing that his team would have to “start all over again” and asking to be reimbursed for the cost. At the same time, Vance has set straight to work, calling for Biden to resign from the presidency.

Meanwhile, the Democrats possess a new potential nominee in the form of Vice President Kamala Harris. And as a result, the party had one of the best fundraising days ever.

Were you the guy who said that nobody would want to be the VP candidate for Kamala Harris?

 

And that Trump really weighed 215 pounds?

He has not resigned, he is still President. He will not, however, stand for election on November 4.

If you want strength and leadership, look no further than Genghis Khan or Timurlane.

 

Show me evidence a team of competent people is less effective than a leader. I have evidence to the contrary.

 

Putin is a strong leader to most Russians. He has led the Russian Federation into economic disaster.

 

When you have people saying Shoigu is Ukraine's best asset in Russia, it's not a good indication of the competence of the team Putin has around him.

 

IMO people who want strong kings, emperors or presidents can't think for themselves.

Usually " look no further" comments are followed by a RECENT example. 
Here's you " Genghis Khan blah blah"

If your response is abuse, and a need for a strong leader, it just demonstrates how weak-minded you are.

For all her shortcomings I think Harris, were she nominated, would not be a walkover come the November election . Trump would need to give a lot of thought as to how to oppose her.

His response is as predictable as the sun rising in the East, personal abuse. He's already called her a "horrible czar".

 

Perhaps he got that phrase from his buddy Putin. Electric boats and sharks are his contributions to original thought.

I just watched VP Harris' unofficial acceptance speech and Joe checked in on the phone. He sounded weak and it's great that he decided to bow out.

 

In addition, I imagine 45 is now shaking in his nappies. She showed her prosecutor claws and said all the things that Joe was too nice to say. She'll FINALLY make it apparent that the emperor has no clothes.

While I have not seen her acceptance speech I hope Trump debates her soon.

 

He will rip her to shreds.

 

If you have seen her speeches and still think she’s qualified as POTUS you need serious counseling.
