Now…

It’s getting interesting…

After days of saying he was ‘in it to win it’, we got this today!

He didn’t endorse Kamala Harris in the letter, that endorsement came later on Twitter. I think this was probably to keep access to the money in the Biden-Harris campaign cookie jar. If they go for anybody other than her, they lose the access to something over $200M in campaign funds (if I understand the law correctly).

It’s going to be really interesting to see who the Democrat party elite decides to run since they got rid of Joe. The Democrat convention could be REALLY interesting if they go with an open convention, with the most popular two running as failed candidates in November.

My question is if Biden has acknowledged to no longer be fit and cannot handle running for reelection due to his age and infirmities (which seems to be what he’s done), is he still staying on as President? If so, how?

Is there a 25th Amendment action coming?

Beats the hell outta me, but it is fun to watch the left absolutely melting down and somehow making this Trump and Vance’s fault!!!

YMMV, IANAL, etc…

  1. I know Executive Orders can be rescinded by the new POTUs, but can pardons be rescinded as well ? I’m guessing JB is taking bids on ‘who wants a pardon ?’ early, with little to stop as POTUS powers still in effect.

  2. Hey Old NFO,

    I put it on my blog, but I believe that it will be the queen of cankles, Hillary as the VEEP, you think the Donk elitist will pass up the chance to run an all female ticket against the all male ticket of the GOP? The intersectional donks progressives will eat it up, especially with her foreign policy experience to balance Harris out? I can see the campaign now. Personally I see it as a play by the donk powermasters to get kamala slaughtered by team trump and get her off the board and get a clean slate for 2028, but if by chance Harris wins, she better hire a food taster. Just sayin.

  3. Barack Obama doesn’t endorse Kamala Harris, says Dems will pick ‘outstanding nominee’.

    Does this mean he’s supporting Michelle?

  4. If the Dems have Harris as their Prez pick then they will have to choose a White Male Moderate Gov from some state they want votes from but they plan to toss away for 2028. They are not going to win 2024 except if they cheat and do it heavily. Harris is a loss.

    The DNC Convention could be open and that will be a train wreck. It will be in Chicago and will have around 5K outside agitators making the whole thing like 1968 and turning people off of the Dems.

    The way the MSM handled Biden and the Dems it is clear they cannot be trusted. Biden has been this way well before the 2020 election. Harris and the Dems knew it. The question is why is he still President and who is running the country?

  5. I’ve been referring to the reaction of the dems after the debate as “The Night of the Long Knives.” Although “Death by a Thousand Cuts” may be more appropriate. It appears Pelosi and Schumer dealt the final blows. Note that China Joe (if he actually wrote that) said he was dropping out for the “best interest of my party and the country,” no indication that it was because of his mental acuity or physical weakness. Basically he dropped out because he was persuaded he couldn’t win and would drag the party to defeat and loose the House and Senate. Not to mention the campaign dollars. As usual, he put the party first before the country. I expect preemptive pardons for the Biden crime family, and executive orders for whatever unpopular agenda items he (or) his handlers can come up with.

  6. Fear.
    I want to hear why the 20 yr-old had three “encrypted” accounts overseas.
    If our enemies want to destroy our country I fear they have a short window to act… decisively.
    Kill Trump? We have a woke military, an incompetent Secret Service, and weak leadership at the federal level.
    God help us.

    • Yeah the 3 “encrypted accounts” , what type of accounts ? Kind of vague , if I were to use my VPN and choose the Netherlands as my encrypted server , not really a big deal . What is this discovery of encrypted accounts exactly ? People use VPN’s everyday for a variety of reasons , not all nefarious .

  7. Let us fire up the Way Back Machine and remember when LBJ dropped out and endorsed VP Hubert H. Humphrey.

    Humphrey had to run on LBJ’s policies and record, he was after all part of the administration. Eugene McCarthy ran as a rogue Democrat which pissed off the establishment of the party. Humphrey wins after lots of bad blood and is beat by Nixon in the general election.

    LBJ = Biden
    HHH = Harris
    McCarthy= Bernie, RFKjr, Newsome or My Bell Michelle
    Nixon = Trump

    To bad we won’t have Mayor Daley around.

    • But they are going to Chicago. History doesn’t repeat itself but it does rhyme.

  8. NFO , I agree , if Biden is too impaired to appear in a court hearing , or run for office , then how is he deemed competent to carry out the duties of his office ? And , not a peep during this past week from the White House Doc , that said , “No , Joe is fine ,good to go!” . If I were a democrat that voted for Biden I’d feel embarrassed , hoodwinked , and humiliated . But at the same time, how could they not see that the man was out of his mind . And KJP , she had to get up to that podium and lie , lie, and lie again about Biden’s words and actions . And the other world politicians he met with must have been blown away by his senility …they knew , they had to have known. Today, right now this incompetent dipshit is the Commander in Chief , this shit ain’t right , this shit is not safe nor prudent , it is downright scary .

  9. This entire situation can be summed up in two words: “Shit show”.

  10. I’m going to need a lot of popcorn between now and the convention!

  11. Saw on YouTube Trump entering the convention covered by a half dozen tall male USSS agents. Sen Hawley (MO) has whistle blowers coming forth saving most of the “security” personnel when the attempted assignation took place were from Homeland Security, not USSS.

    Perhaps Ms. Cheatle had an internal mutiny?

  12. All- Thanks for the comments, and yes a number of ‘curious’ things are popping up…

  13. It’s looking like the nominee will be Kameltoe, most of the other contenders have already bowed out. I suspect that after the convention when it’s official, Pedo Joe will be removed from office. He’ll either “tragically die”….after all he is 81, or they will use Amendment 25. Either way Harris becomes POTUS and that bestows a big advantage in an election race over being non incumbent. While Harris isn’t the brightest bulb even she can’t be stupid enough to choose Cankles The Killer as VP candidate.

  14. What excellent comments above.

    That said, imagine FOUR YEARS of the Cackling Whore.

  15. Most of you are focusing on the circus, when you should be paying attention to the animal handlers.

    • Most of the “handlers” are unelected, unaccountable and mostly unknown. We really don’t know who makes which decisions although its probably multiple players involved in running things. Makes it tougher for us to identify who needs a tall tree and a short rope.

  16. I read Larry’s take on it (The ‘If I were a ham-fisted author this would be my plot’). I think he’s right that Joe is going to pass away soon. Very soon. Probably this month soon. Definitely before the convention or during it.
    This not only makes all of the legal stuff going after Joe disappear (just like when Epstein was murdered) but it makes Harris the incumbent and ‘first black woman president’ (even though she’s Indian, not African-American).
    They’ll try to play it all as a heart strings moment and hopefully she’s not stupid enough to take Killary as her Veep, because if she does, her days will be very numbered.

  17. All- Good points, and yes, Larry’s writeup is probably a LOT closer to the truth than folks want to admit.
