Biden Wakes Up From Nap, Asks If He Missed Anything

 

REHOBOTH, DE — President Biden awoke from a long Sunday afternoon nap and walked out to ask his family if he missed anything important while he was asleep.

"That COVID can really make a man sleep.  Ha!  Well, I'll be all set for the big rally on Tuesday.  So, anything happen while I was out?" asked Biden.  "Nothing?  Geez, you guys sure are quiet."

Interesting read.  The Democrats will have problems in many states unless they actually officially nominate someone very soon and prior to the DNC.  I expect a lot of caterwauling by the MSM about any challenges to the Dems being able to circumvent state laws.  The petulant Democrats will frame it as being a “threat to Democracy” if they are not allowed to simply change Joe to Kamala or someone else all the while trying to hide the fact that the Democrats are the real threat to Democracy.

Has anyone actually seen Old Corrupt Petulant Joe in the past 4-5 days?  Does he know he suspended his election?  Did he ever give a reason why?

Yet another Catch 22.

 

If he says it’s because he no longer thinks he is able to fulfil the role of President for the next 4 years, then he and his advisors (and the MSM) have been lying to the public. Lack of honesty. Not a good look.

 

If he says it’s for the good of the country and to give the Democrats the best chance to win in November, then he just acted in an authoritarian and undemocratic manner by disregarding the will of the primary voters. This proves that DJT is not the biggest threat to American democracy, the DNC is. Not a good look.

 

If it comes out that he was pressured to stand down as a candidate by Democrat power-brokers, then that exposes the Democrat Party as a complete oxymoron, as democracy will have nothing to do with their candidate, their platform or their whole ethos. Not a good look.

The dems are the very people they claim to detest.  They practice the things they claim to oppose. They are hypocrites.

And yet people actually vote for them.  Jonathan Gruber was right.

most likely someone scheduled a tour of an ice cream factory to keep him occupied.

See BB cited most recently above for the probable answer.

This excellent piece bluntly lays bare what the Dems have really done.

Democrats Flunk Democracy

 

[...] Leading up to Biden's decision, 39 congressional Democrats had called for him to end his campaign, as had major donors to the party.  The calls for Biden to step aside had also been pressed by elite organs of Democratic opinion such as the New York Times.  These elected officials represent a small fraction of the Democratic representation of the national institution in which they serve, about 15 percent.  And, of course, the Times, other media organizations, and prominent members of the donor class don't represent any voters at all.  By succeeding in their undertaking, the elected nominee of one of our major political parties has been forced aside by a tiny number of people.  Is this anybody's idea of democracy?  [...]

Definitely a coup run by the Democrat elites.  Of course their low information voters will ignore it since the political activists on MSNBC say it was a masterful stroke.  I think I heard both Larry O., and Rachel M., claim this was some sort of epic political move.  Of course we know Larry O. cannot be trusted especially if someone is hammering nearby, and Rachel M. defends lawsuits by saying she is always lying on her show (https://greenwald.substack.com/p/a-court-ruled-rachel-maddows-viewers).

This needs to be a major focus of the Trump campaign.  The Trump campaign also needs to be running like it is 10 points behind.

 

Kamala Harris told migrants ‘do not come’ to US — and 8 million showed up anyway: Inside the veep’s legacy as ‘Border Czar’

 

Kamala Harris told migrants “do not come” to the US, but at least 8 million came anyway.

 

In perhaps her most famous speech as vice president, which she made in June 2021 after she was given responsibility for securing the US border, Harris tried to convince migrants to stop flooding into the US in the wake of Biden’s 2020 election victory.

 

“I want to be clear to folks in this region who are thinking about making that dangerous trek to the United States-Mexico border, do not come. Do not come,” she said.

Need to make sure Kamala's competence is brought to light.

 

VP Kamala Harris Had 92-Percent Staff Turnover During Her First Three Years

 

“Working for Harris is a nightmare, not just because she rides her staff hard, but also because she does so without the competence, decisiveness, and effectiveness that inspires people in politics to suffer under demanding bosses,” Dan McLaughlin wrote in a January 2022 National Review article titled, “People Really, Really Do Not Want to Work for Kamala Harris.”
