All of which Biden had nothing to do with.

Now hold on - you guys hang all this on Joe when it's bad, you can't have it both ways.

I don't see Dems stepping up to say they wanna be the VP. Who?

It did seem so, superficially, until Biden dropped out.

Poor old Joe thinks he's talking to God and now the Second Coming of Harris. What a farce!

[bubblegum]

The right wing is good at name calling like the do in schoolyards. Nothing else.

Right up there with Washington in terms of selflessness and putting party and country before oneself. Please take a moment to appreciate the stark contrast between Biden's honorable decision to step down voluntarily and Trump's disgraceful attempt to cling to power after losing the 2020 election.

You mean after 126 congressman and 18 states agreed there were enough irregularities to hold off confirmation, pending litigation?

Harris and AOC !  Now there's a combo to sell adult diapers !

I’m thinking Senator Mark Kelley the former shuttle commander combat pilot would be an excellent choice strong appeal to vets and across the partisan divide strong military background for these fraught times his wife Cathy Gifford survived a mass shooting he would be just fine thankyou very much!that friends would be a very appealing ticket!!! Kamala getting after the abortion mess created by trump + the law and order side of things + senator Kelley for the vets / republican and to ally fears of having a woman President that would be a killer ticket!!!

The problem of pulling names out of thin air , is do they even want to do it, do they want increased scruitiny on themselves and their families , or if they're already rich do they want to pull the strings rather than be the puppet - oh and the pretty high chance of assasination - there's that as well with a riled up MAGA crowd who will intimidate their friends and family should they lose 'The Pelosi Hammer'. Those that actively want to do it are probably not the ones that we should want - the US as it currently stands may just be ungovernable.

Maybe literally. He hasn't been seen in public or made any videos. Strange. Staff found out on X. His letter was simply drafted by staff. Could be DeSantis's call about the Weekend At Bernie's presidency come true.

Which leads us all nicely back to that "proof", which never existed.

 

Aren't you even slightly embarrassed still having to write all that crap?

Laughable. He was forced out in a banana republic-like "democratic" coup by the righteous defenders of "democracy." Staff drafted a letter and he (probably) signed it. 🙂

Read the Texas vs PA lawsuit of December, 2020.

 

And the Amicus Briefs.

 

You know what they call statements made under oath?

 

Evidence.

 You compare Washington to Biden? Wow, just wow! The deluded left... right there

[beautifulthailand99]

Not fit to run not fit to serve - Republicans demand Joe leaved the White House NOW !

 

It will pile the pressure on Mr Biden to quit now rather than waiting until the January inauguration of the winner of the November presidential election.

JD Vance, Trump’s running mate, also called on Mr Biden to go, writing on X, formerly Twitter: “How can he justify remaining president? Not running for re-election would be a clear admission that President Trump was right all along about Biden not being mentally fit enough to serve as Commander-in-Chief. There is no middle ground.”

The Jewish Chronicle editor in the UK calls Trump by a mile.

 

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/07/21/trump-is-now-certain-to-win-the-presidency/

 

In recent weeks, her popularity has bumped along marginally ahead of the Presidents, but still well into double-digit negatives, and about five points behind Donald Trump. Is it any wonder? A quick Google reveals that her stock-in-trade is that most toxic political currency, the gaff. She has quipped bafflingly about coconut trees, clapped along enthusiastically to a song attacking her in Spanish, sung The Wheels On The Bus idiotically to the cameras to a tune that nobody recognised, and repeated her gnomic motto – “what can be unburdened by what has been” – no fewer than 62 times in speeches, providing fodder for an eye-wateringly effective Republican attack ad this month.

 

Frankly, at this point it doesn’t matter at all. Biden has screwed America. Arise, President Trump, and God help us.

I think the most telling thing about this whole debacle is that the Dem Elite didn't throw him under the bus when it became clear to insiders that he was cognitively diminished.  They would have been perfectly happy running a tomato.  As long as the tomato won.

 

It was only when it became clear he couldn't win.

The Turks were saying (before today) they took action only after realizing thier own ability to win was now evident.

Correct there was only one thing worse than him not leaving that was leaving. Holed below the water now, everybody wants snake oil and knows where to get it - no-one has any clue what they are selling.

Media reactions to President Joe Biden’s announcement Sunday that he will not continue to run for a second term as president widely ranged between positive and negative, with some liberal pundits expressing shock and were in tears.

 

And here I thought liberal tears were an urban myth.

Trump if he won will turn 81

Kamala is 59

The analogy is that Washington voluntarily relinquished power. The historically ignorant right....right there. Bone up on the rise of National Socialism in 1930's Germany while you're at it.

Joe Biden should resign ASAP.   He is not fit to be POTUS.

 

 

You are correct.

Biden, or some proxy, has only made a tweet.

This is not the way we do it in American government.

 

If Biden truly wishes to resign from the 2024 Prez campaign, then he should say so.

And, he should say so himself, in front of the camera, in a public address to the nation,

Just as all presidents have done in the past.

 

Until we see Biden voice the words, before camera, then it is entirely possible for Biden to be back in the race, Monday, NYC time.

 

I am fully expecting it, in fact.
