What a sham, what fraud, what corruption.

Go after Trump who legitimately could have the documents and weaponize the law and NOT find Biden who could NOT legally have the documents and find opposite rulings.

This is no longer America
Not to mention he's is elderly and can't remember correctly that alone along with have secret material and not keeping track of it , makes him a national security risk and that should keep him off the ballot

So, basically they are saying he is incompetent to stand trial. So WTF is he doing in the Oval Office?
My thoughts exactly. Hur said his investigation "uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen." Then says he’s a befuddled old man-25th Amendment out for Let’s Go Brandon.

Joe Biden is an angry old man and his press secretary is the worst secretary in the history of the United States of America. The eye rolling, and the absolute lies that she tells you to your face are embarrassing. I don’t know anybody who is worse at their job except maybe her boss.

Such an embarrassment. Nationally and on the World Stage. Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences. 81 million votes my ASS!!!

Inside the plot to replace elderly Joe Biden​

On February 8, a US special counsel report fell like a bombshell on the White House. It rejected criminal charges against Joe Biden for his mishandling of classified documents, which was good. But some of the reasons underpinning the decision were highly embarrassing.

The leader of the free world, special counsel Robert Hur warned in the report, “would likely present himself to a jury… as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory”.

Biden added self-injury to this insult with a cantankerous press conference at which he shouted down questions about his age and, to prove how with it he really is, took credit for persuading the “president of Mexico” to allow aid into Gaza.

“Geography buffs,” comedian Jon Stewart subsequently observed, “might have noticed Gaza and Mexico do not share a border.” He dryly added that Biden, at 81, is the oldest man ever to run for president – “breaking, by only four years, a record that [he] set”.

The counsel’s report, veteran journalist Michael Wolff tells us, is “a devastating blow which obviously the Trump people are delighted about. They can’t believe their luck.” (Wolff should know: he wrote an inside account of the Trump White House, Fire and Fury.)

Many Democrats, on the other hand, are furious. They feel that their party’s establishment, lacking the courage to replace Biden when they could, has saddled them with the one presidential candidate who can’t win, because he’s so doddery that he makes a lunatic facing 91 criminal charges seem like a competent professional.

How did this come about? And what are the party’s bigwigs planning to do about it?

Team Trump worries that they’ll swap Biden for a younger model at the August convention in Chicago – but this conspiracy theory contains one major hole: Biden likes his job. If the Democratic establishment wants someone else to do it, they’ll have to drag Biden out of the White House kicking and screaming.

‘Indiscipline and indecision’​

Health and vanity have long bedevilled the US presidency. Franklin Roosevelt, who was plainly ill in 1944, should not have run for a fourth term in office, did so and died just four months after inauguration.

Ronald Reagan, as Wolff elegantly puts it, likely ran the country from “the foothills of dementia”. Both presidents deployed charisma and wit to paper over the cracks, qualities Biden has never enjoyed. “He always was just a terrible public speaker,” says Wolff, “mangling up sentences and words for the past 40 years.”

Friends and allies pin the blame on his stammer; in The Last Politician, a relatively sympathetic biography, Franklin Foer identifies a career-long pattern of “indiscipline and indecision”. He pulled out of the 1988 presidential run after being caught plagiarising Neil Kinnock.

His campaign for the 2008 presidential nomination took a hit when he said that there were so many Indian-Americans in his home state that “you cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent”.

The Washington consensus is that Biden is an incorrigible windbag, leavened by kindness, empathy and negotiating skills honed in the Senate.

Unlike most of us, he’s become more left-wing as he’s grown older – and as president he has spent trillions, backed unions, expanded welfare and reduced American military deployment.

He’s got away with it precisely because voters can’t believe that this bumbling old Catholic, who refers to his affection for nuns, is one of the most radical and consequential presidents of our times – an apparently genial contrast to the chaotic administration that came before.

One reason why it’s hard to discern what’s happening in the Oval Office is that his ultra-loyal staff rarely leaks. They’ve formed a protective wall around the old man, limiting access and appearances, even rewriting the 2024 presidential primary calendar so that he’d enjoy an easy first win in friendly South Carolina.

Trump has long mocked “sleepy Joe” for “hiding in his basement”, but it worked in 2020 – and letting Trump car-crash through various court cases while Biden gets on with the job seemed like a sound strategy for re-election, too.

But then last year a set of polls showed Trump creeping into the lead nationally and notably ahead in critical swing states such as Michigan and Pennsylvania. Unemployment is low; inflation is down. Why, asked grassroots Democrats, isn’t our guy far more popular?

Age concerns​

The question of the president’s age, once dismissed by Democrats, is now becoming unignorable.

Biden confused Emmanuel Macron with the long-dead Francois Mitterrand, and called him the president of Germany. He claimed to have discussed the Capitol Hill riots with Helmut Kohl – deceased for four years.

He reassured the world that Putin is losing in Iraq. He struggled to pronounce Rishi Sunak’s name, titled him “Mr President” and declared “God Save the Queen” (to make matters stranger, he was addressing an audience about gun control).

“Where’s Jackie?!” he cried during a speech, inviting congresswoman Jackie Walorski to give us a twirl – improbable given her recent death in a car accident. In one attempt to climb the steps of his plane, Biden fell down three times. (Trump does a mean, and amusing, impersonation of his rival attempting to locate the exit from a podium).

While Reagan laughed senior moments off with his famous line “I will not exploit my opponent’s youth and inexperience…”, Biden’s response to press scrutiny betrays a thinner skin: “You think I don’t know how f—--- old I am?” he told an aide, according to Politico.

His adjutants are left to clean up around him: at the end of a speech in Warsaw, Biden adlibbed a line that Putin “cannot remain in power”. By the time he got in his car, his dutiful staff were already scrambling to insist the president was not calling for regime change in Russia.

‘Old and delusional’​

According to Foer, Biden has asked indignantly: “Was John Kennedy ever babied like that?” Kennedy made Americans imagine a brighter future, whereas Biden reminds them of the depressing present.

The pollster Frank Luntz has run a focus group of individuals who voted Democrat in 2020 but might not do so again. They described the Biden of four years ago as “normal”, “sane” and “civilised”; they perceive Biden today as “geriatric”, “sick”, “old and delusional”.

Luntz explains: “The latest polling has over 80pc of the public concerned about Biden’s age. And they say age, they don’t say health.” It’s a “proxy for a loss of activism” in government “and get-it-done-ism… It’s about how he makes them feel.”

We might infer that Americans feel trapped. Biden was elected in 2020 to end the Trump era and then, preferably, step aside for fresh leadership; yet here the two men still are, monopolising the field.

Luntz continues: “Seventy per cent of Americans don’t want Trump or Biden…. So people throw up their hands in desperation and say, how can a country of 337 million people give us these two choices?”

Watching Biden slide about nervously, one sometimes fears not that his hand is on the nuclear button, but that he might forget where he left it.

The White House dismisses attacks on Biden’s age as inaccurate and “desperate”. In meetings, vice-president Kamala Harris has said her boss is dynamic; “in front of and on top of it all”. (If true, replied Jon Stewart, why doesn’t anyone film that?)

Wolff’s contacts assure him that “behind closed doors” Biden does remain “efficient, analytical” with a “remarkable focus” – albeit “in a foreshortened day”. (According to the president’s diary, there are few events before 9am and most meetings are in the afternoon).

The challenge is turning a private story – that he’s great when we’re not watching – into a narrative that convinces voters who might never see the evidence.

Conspiracy fears​

Trump is also slowing down, note the president’s supporters: why doesn’t the media obsess about that?

Seeking an answer, the New York Times reminded readers of the cruel superficiality of politics: Biden is pale and balding, Trump big, tanned and with a head of hair that defies the laws of nature. His frequent flubs – he recently boasted that he beat Obama in 2016 – come across as bravado; Biden’s land as awkward errors.

The reality is setting in on the Left. The Times has proclaimed a “dark moment for Mr Biden’s presidency”, declaring: “He needs to do more to show the public that he is fully capable of holding office until age 86.”

Welcome to the party, conservatives say to the liberal paper of record, but why are you only mentioning this now? Republicans smell a conspiracy, suspecting that the plan was always to let Biden sweep an uncontested presidential primary then swap him out at the last minute for someone else. Their favourite deus ex machina is former first lady Michelle Obama.

Trump’s gaffe about beating her husband likely betrayed a subconscious bias; some of the Right believe the conspiracy that Biden is merely Barack’s puppet. (Biden can’t be behind the “persecution” of me, reasoned Trump at a rally, “because I don’t think he knows he’s alive.”)

They’ve seized upon the criticisms of the president by David Axelrod, one of the architects of Obama’s 2008 campaign, who described the special counsel report as “another log on a raging fire” of concerns about Biden’s competence.

If the plot is to drop the president, and the president hasn’t been playing ball, then maybe the goal of all this sudden, very negative coverage is to humiliate Biden out of office – to create such a chorus of insult that he’ll have to quit to maintain the last vestiges of his dignity.

Dennis Lennox, a GOP consultant and executive director of the Republican Party in the Virgin Islands, says: “There’s no question that the powers that be both within the Democratic Party and [the] so-called deep state in Washington are doing everything they can to push Joe Biden out of the race before it’s too late, because Democrats know [he] is the only Democrat who can lose to Donald Trump.”

How Biden could be ousted​

How would a change of candidate happen? This is where the conspiracy theories hit a snag. As Garry South, a longtime Democrat strategist and commentator from California, points out: “There’s no process where a sitting president of the United States could be removed from the ticket and replaced with someone else at this stage of the game… It’s not going to happen. We’re stuck with Joe Biden, for better or worse.”

Scenario one: someone enters the primaries to challenge Biden.

Two candidates have already tried this – Marianne Williamson and Dean Phillips, the latter running explicitly on the health issue – and received negligible percentages; Biden won South Carolina this week with almost 100pc of the vote (close to his age, joked comedian Stephen Colbert).

Filing deadlines for about 80pc of the rest of the contests have passed, so it’s literally impossible for a bigger name to enter the contest at this stage and win more delegates than the president. He heads into Chicago as the unstoppable frontrunner.

Scenario two: the party tries to remove him involuntarily. This only can be done, theoretically, if a candidate is incapacitated.

Former Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Donna Brazile revealed that she considered setting the ball rolling in 2016, when Hillary Clinton fell ill at a 9/11 memorial, but dropped the idea because she knew it would tear the party apart.

The DNC is hierarchical, disciplined and packed with Biden supporters; there’s no mechanism in place to move against the president if he doesn’t want to go, which means the only practicable step is…

Scenario three: Biden is persuaded to release his delegates at the convention, allowing them to pick whichever candidate they like.

This is what Republicans are predicting. Lennox, the GOP strategist, regards it as “entirely plausible [that] somebody not named Joe Biden emerges as the Democratic nominee, whether that’s JB Pritzker, the governor of Illinois, who’s a billionaire and could self-fund a campaign overnight… or [California governor] Gavin Newsom, or the governor of Maryland [Wes Moore] who many believe is the next Obama.”

Alternatively, the Democrats could try “a more moderate figure like Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania”.

But what Republicans imagine as a well-oiled coup, Democrats see as a recipe for disaster. “It would open up the whole field,” explains South, “and you would have multiple candidates in August running for the nomination” in a “messy process that would almost guarantee we lose in November”.

The idea revives memories of the Democratic convention of 1968, when the party was divided by the Vietnam War, or the infamously chaotic process of 1972 – in which the nomination roll call for president was as long as the telephone book, and included a vote for Mao Zedong.

On the other hand, such an event would be TV gold, a rare convention that people actually watch and a chance to reset the race heading into the autumn campaign.

But casting around for a usurper brings up challenges, too. The return of Hillary Clinton is a topic of dinner party gossip – an idea so absurd as to make one choke on their grits.

As for Michelle Obama’s ascendancy, even Karl Rove – the genius consultant who gave us George W Bush – called that theory “pure lunacy”, pointing to the hatred of politics evident in her memoir. “She didn’t want her husband to run for the state Senate. She didn’t want him to run for the presidency. She is not a political animal.”

Rivals’ loyalty​

Technically the person best positioned to replace Biden, because it’s her constitutional role in case of emergency, is his VP, Harris. Yet she is likely to perform no better than her boss. Luntz says every Democrat he has polled does better against Trump than Biden, with the one exception of Kamala.

Rumoured to be disliked even by her own staff – an aide to her 2020 campaign reportedly said “this person should not be president of the United States” – she has demonstrated that one doesn’t need to be old to be underwhelming.

Consider her incisive contribution to a roundtable discussion on transport: “This issue of transportation is fundamentally about just making sure that people have the ability to get where they need to go. It’s that basic.” Only 40pc of the US has a positive view of the VP; 55pc, negative.

Moreover, current thinking is she’s lining up for a run in four years’ time, perhaps in partnership with her friend and transport secretary Pete Buttigieg. This kind of forward-planning deters even stronger candidates from manoeuvring against the incumbent.

Take Newsom, the handsome, 56-year-old governor of California, who seemed to launch an unofficial exploratory campaign last year, enjoying a cross-country tour that culminated in a TV debate against then-Republican contender Ron DeSantis.

It made little impact: Newsom polled no better at that time than Biden, possibly because of California’s reputation of left-wing wokery. (A conspicuous amount of his energy also went into promoting not himself but the president, telling journalists: “I’ll go to the ends of the earth for this guy.”)

There’s also Gretchen Whitmer, the popular 52-year-old governor of Michigan, another pro-union liberal who has the advantage of leading Trump in her critical home state. She has publicly denied she’ll run, while launching a campaign, Fight Like Hell, that is officially designed to boost Biden.

Both Newsom and Whitmer have obviously concluded that their best path to 2028 is to define themselves as ultra-loyal in 2024. Though they would presumably accept the nomination were it handed to them in Chicago, they’re not going to be the ones to push Biden on to his sword.

No walking away​

It’s a testament to how imperial the US presidency is that regardless of what the voters think, or even what ambitious officials secretly want, the fate of the nation rests firmly in the hands of its commander-in-chief – along with his number one fan and defender, first lady Dr Jill Biden.

At 72, the former classroom teacher is indispensable to the administration, often found in the room where decisions are made, sitting quietly to one side making notes till Joe shouts, “Hey Jill, what do you think?” She thinks her husband is the only man who can do his job.

She might have been reluctant to return to the White House in 2020 but has since grown comfortable with her role and certain of Joe’s abilities. After all, the flip side of crawling past 80 is that one does have decades of experience to draw upon, years peppered with ambitions – and so little time to fulfil them.

The president is ferociously ambitious: he ran for his office three times. And he is stubborn. You might think he did the wrong thing in pulling out of Afghanistan, for instance, but he’s taken full responsibility for the decision – borne, writes Foer, from a “swaggering faith in himself”.

One problem with Obama, Joe apparently said, was that he was too easily pushed around and didn’t know how to say “f— you” properly – “with the right elongation of vowels and the necessary hardness of his consonants”.

This is not a man who would walk away from a job he believes is his by right. The fact that the only alternative on the November ballot will be Trump will stiffen his resolve.

Writing for Politico, the journalist Jonathan Martin made an astute observation: it is Trump, above all, that keeps Biden in the game. Trump unites left and centre of the party, young and old, in terror of his victory, and thus “the proverbial moat around the Biden White House is stocked with very classy, Trump-branded alligators”.

No one of weight will question Biden if it risks helping Trump in any way – even though, and this is the sad irony of the situation, Biden is probably the weakest person to run against the much-indicted billionaire.

As Wolff says, one never ceases to be amazed by “Trump’s ineffable luck”.

Another scenario how Biden gets replaced​

By W.A. Eliot

Seemingly every day, a new scenario is revealed how the left might remove Joe Biden and insert another candidate for the presidential election. Heather Higgins, writing for RealClearPolitics, and covered by Thomas Lifson on AT, believes that the DNC will unleash a “September Surprise” after the Democrat National Convention (August 19–22), in which Joe Biden steps down — say, for some new health reason — and is replaced by Michelle Obama, who at this point will not even have to campaign against or vie with other potential Democrat candidates, including Kamala Harris. Higgins cites precedents for late-candidate “switcheroos” as well as DNC rules requiring merely a vote of the 483 DNC members. Regarding how long the Democrats can wait before making a switch, Higgins suggests it may be October 1.

Here is another possible scenario. Based on overwhelming evidence proving Joe Biden’s corruption, the House, possibly with unanimous Republican support, impeaches Slow Joe. In the middle of the Senate vote on conviction and removal from office, Democrats, claiming they want no part of this purely political witch hunt so close to an election — a narrative that will be supported by a compliant MSM—collectively storm out of the chamber. All that’s needed for removal from office is two thirds of those senators present, and the stunned Republicans succeed in removing Joe Biden from office, doing the Democrats’ dirty work for them and, as a bonus, sparing individual Democrats from Dr. Jill’s ire. Alternatively, a sufficient number of Democrats surprisingly join the Republicans in voting to remove Biden from office. The Democratic National Convention is then left open for Michelle Obama to defeat Kamala Harris, avoiding the race card issue. Or perhaps lame-duck President Harris, in exchange for not running (she’d likely lose to Donald Trump anyway), is given a secret incentive to pardon (after the elections but before January 20) Joe & Family. If the Senate vote succeeding in Biden’s removal does not occur until shortly after the Democratic convention, as in Higgins’s scenario, DNC members get to select a preferable alternative.

Article 3, Sec 1(c) of the Charter in the The Charter & The Bylaws of the Democrat Party of the U.S. states that “between National Conventions,” the DNC has the responsibility of “filling vacancies in the nominations for the office of President and Vice President.” Essentially identical language appears in the bylaws, Article 2, Sec. 1(c), as cited by Higgins. That language suggests that the vice president slot cannot be changed if only the president slot is vacated, which comports with the language in the 2024 Call for the Democratic National Convention:
Filling a Vacancy on the National Ticket: In the event of death, resignation or disability of a nominee of the Party for President or Vice President after the adjournment of the National Convention, the National Chairperson of the Democratic National Committee shall confer with the Democratic leadership of the United States Congress and the Democratic Governors Association and shall report to the Democratic National Committee, which is authorized to fill the vacancy or vacancies.
So it seems that if Biden is removed shortly after the convention, in both Higgins’s September Surprise and the Senate removal vote scenarios, Michelle would be stuck with Kamala as a running mate.

ABC News lays out the sometimes thorny ramifications of a national ticket vacancy depending on the date when a nominated candidate withdraws. Biden’s removal in the period between Election Day and the Electoral College vote (December 17) likely would result in electors casting votes. Regarding after December 17, ABC says the following:
If the president-elect dies or is incapacitated after the Electoral College votes [Dec. 17] but before Inauguration Day on Jan. 20, 2025, the law is clear: the vice president-elect would be inaugurated instead. The 20th Amendment to the Constitution says, in part, "If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President."
So if the Biden-Harris ticket wins the general election and the Senate vote occurring in this time interval results in Biden’s removal from office, the country would be stuck at the outset with Kamala as president. Presumably, even the Democrats don’t want that.

A contributing factor to the 49ers’ loss to the Chiefs in the latest Super Bowl is that they were not familiar with the new overtime rules, and after winning the overtime coin toss, they chose unwisely to receive the ball first. I sure hope the Republicans study the vacancy issue carefully to get the timing of the impeachment process just right so they don’t get burned once again by the Democrats and the Deep State.

Just read Adam Schiff is attempting to get something passed allowing people without a residence to be able to vote. So let’s see how would that work, mail in ballets for thousands of homeless would be sent somewhere and then be picked up by someone and then what? Gee, couldn’t find anyone, so guess we’ll just have to fill them out for them…

You're overthinking it again ; Occam's Razor (the simple solution is usually correct)

Number of possibilities ......

1/ Biden just carries on as senile old fool . The usual suspects will still vote for him like they voted for Fetterman over his brain surgeon rival ; moreover, in the sham democracy that America has become a real leader is no longer important ; it's the puppet masters behind the scenes who are

2/ Biden could wait until the convention then announce that he wont be seeking a second term, then his 4K delegates will vote for whoever the DNC wants . I don't underestimate the possibility of K Harris being the candidate, especially when they are obsessed with their ''first female president'' . If they can pull off President Biden and Senator Fetterman, then they can pass off Kamala Harris as president that reinforces the surreal nature of American politics

3/ They could go with Gavin Newsom as he has the name recognition and clearly wants it ; the only problem with that is he is a white male and that doesn't fit well with the Leftist zeitgeist, so It wouldn't totally surprise me if they came up with a ''dark horse'' in the form of someone like Cory Booker as Obama 2.0

The left only has to worry about three things… 1) pulling off a more complex election takeover than anything we’ve seen before, 2) how to get a candidate elected IF they can’t pull off massive election fraud, so they have to concern themselves with a popularity contest for a candidate, not a true leader in the voters eyes (enter Big Mike) and 3) who to pick as a VP that will truly carry out the evil mission of the left when the elected president resigns.

There are a lot of things that could happen between now and the Democrat convention in August. Currently, Democrats are not very popular with their far Left radicals. They've even dumped 300 lbs of manure in front of Perlosi's house. They probably aren't going to vote for Joek. He's also losing the black vote, so they will have to cheat even more in 2024 to push him over the line. They really do have to get rid of him before the election, unless they cancel it altogether. He's a loser.

The Democrat National Convention could be a big mess, worse the '68. Remember, President Johnson had lost support due to Viet Nam, MLK had been assassinated, and Johnson decided not to run. People think Biden has to hang on to prevent Kamala being the next Humphrey. There will definitely be protests by the radicals, only this time there won't be a Mayor Daley to control the protests. They've got Brandon Johnson who has allowed the ShotSpotter contract to run out. It could get bloody.

Republicans really could be stupid enough to impeach Biden before the convention. If they do, it will be clear they're colluding with the Democrats.
Biden could be defeated on the convention floor. Could they put together a Mike/Kamala ticket then? Would Kamala ("I am ready to serve") agree to play second fiddle to Mike? There are no term limits for the VP. Or would Kamala go away with Biden?

If a switcheroo happens after the convention, the Democrats look even more incompetent, particularly if Biden drops out for health reasons-- that everyone saw beforehand, or he is finally impeached for corruption-- that everyone knew beforehand.

How many would vote for two black women to lead the country? One of them her husband's proxy and the other a laughing hyena? Many blacks would, of course, but it will take more than demographics to push them over the finish line. Kamala doesn't reflect well on anyone.

I'm just saying, the best laid plans of mice and men tend to go awry. Biden could break his neck on the steps to Air Force One or Marine One any day.

Laughing. My conservative brethren (and sisters) are making me laugh.

BIDEN WILL NOT BE REPLACED, HE WILL BE THE DEMOCRAT STANDARD BEARER IN NOVEMBER!!!

(Assuming he doesn't have a heart attack (ricin, Abrin?) or getting run over while jogging)

Don't you people understand the criminal nature of the radical neo-Democrat Party?

Biden is now entrenched. Obama even can't do anything about him. He created the monster and now he's stuck with him. Biden has installed "his" (Obama's) apparatus and now they owe their power to Biden.

The media will not appreciably turn on him, the Democrat Party/Media Axis of Evil gets it's marching orders from the White House, through the still existing "journolist", not Soetoro, Clinton or even Soros.

The Biden administration essentially runs on autopilot. Every hack, every appointee, knows what is expected of them as they're reliable liberals who know what the goals are - crush America as we've known it. Mayorkis doesn't need orders from Biden or a handler to know to keep the flood of America body snatchers flowing.

"Educators" know to keep dumbing down our children. Our Militician Wokester generals know to keep "transforming" our military.

The Axis of Evil still intends to win with an "anti-Trump" vote. That's why they work 24/7 to destroy his name. Reminds of the "Gladiator" where Juba (black slave gladiator) told Maximus that first they must destroy his name before they murder him. Same with Trump.

There is simply no practical way of replacing an recalcitrant Biden if he's intent on staying and refuses to wake up and smell the coffee. Jill is not going to give up her power without a fight.

Giggles Kamala Tow is a joke of a VP and will never be given the reigns of power. The Mooch Obama is too lazy, ignorant, mean spirited and racist to ever gain any real traction except among stupid white females. Pretty boy Newsom is now too late to the game, or at least time is rapidly slipping away.

You have to realize that to the democrat party cult, the hardcore core, Biden is the Savior from the devil, Trump. The economy is golden, Peace abounds, the "invasion" at the border is simply showing good "Christian" charity to the down trodden who will become productive members of our society, raise GDP and pay into a broken social security system.

They believe every bit of democrat propaganda from a great economy to Trump is a dictator.

Those who believe Biden will not be the candidate live in a bubble divorced from reality. They need to challenge their inner "Rush" and say, "I know my democrats!".

The democrat party criminal enterprise is like the titanic and will not change course to avoid the iceberg. They are convinced that their propaganda, disinformation, lies, fantasies and delusions will work on a dumbed down population and that they have fine tuned cheating into a fine art that will once again carry them across the finish line.

I keep an eye peeled for a new virus, the EV 24 (election 24) Variant to pop up to justify massive mail in voting and the rampant fraud that goes with it. Let's pray not.

The only way to catch the cheaters is to use the company that uses computers to identify the adresses of the ballot. It does over 2,000,000 voters a minute so all of the ballots of every state can be inspected almost instantly using this system. In the states they have run their program, they have discovered many thousands of votes from vacant lots, public libraries, businesses, multiple names from one address and much more. Even though all elections are state controlled, this system could be a federally required mandate because it only verifys the ballot, not control or restrict them in any way.

The most likely scenario is that all of this is click bait.

A fall impeachment vote in which Ds avoid recrimination by walking out of the vote, leaving an R majority to take the heat for doing Ds dirty work would be seen as a sucker's play. To what benefit ? Removal from office for a measly month+/- ?

Not much payoff in this scenario. Scratch that plan...

....unless it would prevent pending pardons and other unseemly executive actions.

2/ Biden could wait until the convention then announce that he wont be seeking a second term, then his 4K delegates will vote for whoever the DNC wants . I don't underestimate the possibility of K Harris being the candidate, especially when they are obsessed with their ''first female president'' . If they can pull off President Biden and Senator Fetterman, then they can pass off Kamala Harris as president that reinforces the surreal nature of American politics

This is the option that I've never fully understood; perhaps it would have the benefit of keeping the power firmly in the grasp of his faction until time and place of their choosing for the handoff :: shrug ::
..I must be missing something.
