That's a belief they use to rationalize violating any legal and ethical boundary necessary to hold onto power. That's all they really care about. They lied about Biden being mentally and physically capable until supporting that lie threatened their self-interests. Then when it was too obvious to ignore, they suddenly started to speak the truth and did a 180 to save their own skins calling for a replacement. Another problem with dumping Biden from the top of the ticket now is if he's incapable of running for re-election because of deteriorating physical and mental condition then he's also certainly incapable of finishing out his term. That will be the next shoe to drop. So, Harris needs to finish out the term which creates another public relations crisis if the party decides to go with somebody else in November. This is going to be complicated.

As more and more "facts" are exposed to sunlight, it's all a tactical retreat from reality.

Corruption is exactly what US policy makers want here. One reason for the resistance to audits and checks. It's a lot easier to control corrupt officials, bribed by or stealing large amounts of money earmarked for aid and assistance, than it is to control an honest person. If they suddenly develop a conscious and actually work for the betterment of their country, then they get outed and replaced by somebody willing to play along.

Couldn't agree more. Many have been saying that for months to howls of conspiracy and deep fakes. But the DNC, the media, and most Democrats weren't saying that up until the debate results. The impression I get is they were more than happy with the charade of Joe Biden as long as it wasn't exposed. And now that it is, and Joe's chances of victory are teetering at the edge, its time to cut him loose and look to ride another candidate to victory. And they don't care so much that Biden's mentally and physically incapable of carrying out the duties of the office but rather their grip on power is compromised and at risk. So it might seem they're about to get what they deserve for participation in a big fat ugly lie and criticizing anyone that dared to speak and see and hear the truth. Karma they say is a beetch. I think their going to lose no matter who they pick as a replacement and at a minimum they need to apologize to all the people they lied to that voted in the primaries. Maybe the lesson is a little honesty goes a long way?

Pure drama. https://jonathanturley.org/2024/07/02/no-president-biden-the-supreme-court-did-not-remove-any-limits-on-the-presidency/

The reliable mainstream media a willing accomplice in the act to create an illusion of competency while covering up for lies and deception. You can rely on them to mis and dis inform you when the establishment needs a helping hand. Sure I can make a trained Monkey look competent with enough takes and a few treats for tricks but who's going to buy the story at this point?

Biden might live another 2 or 3 years but the question is how long will he be able to function outside of an assisted living or full time care arrangement? I think he's already past the point in time where the physical and mental demands of the job are too much. And suddenly after the debate its not so easy to hide. Maybe a couple more months before retirement looks like the only alternative?

Its quite a self-delusion. But there are two sets of Biden supporters. Those that approve of and support Biden. And those that don't want Trump. The first group is being gaslighted and the second group doesn't care.

And in a fickle twist of irony, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 for his efforts!

Sotomayor's conclusions are faulty and border on drama because none of the things, like using Seal Team 6 to eliminate political rivals can be successfully argued to be "official duties" of the office. That would be a politically motivated act and one I would expect the members of an elite military unit would refuse to carry out. What the Democrats are pissed off about is the reality this ruling blocks their election interference strategy and their ability to tie up Trump in endles litigation rather than any concern for democracy. That concern takes a back seat when their hold on power is threatened.

You don't comprehend that Biden, Garland, Jack Smtih represent the authoritarian rule here?

Its one of life's certainties. I guess the appeal of democracy wears off when it doesn't translate to victory at the ballot box.The irony of it all is their insistence that everybody else plays nice if they win. No protests, no challenges, nothing but acceptance. Like the adage goes, "he who claims to be a good sport needs to lose to prove it".

This and his condition were obvious to many here some time ago. But people around the President insisted he was as "sharp as a tack" and any criticisms were based on conspiracies, misinformation, and uninformed conclusions. What they mean is until our experts confirm the President's declining mental condition do not trust your own eyes to see or your ears to hear the truth. Now they're ready to dump old Joe not because he's in decline, but rather because it's so obvious now their lies are also obvious. They're exposed as liars, risk more criticism, and fear the scheme behind this, the fake President, could be exposed along with their role in it all. The important thing to them isn't that he can't do the job but rather their hold on power is threatened by reality. So now it might be time to go to the bull pen. I for one want them held to account for their lies but you know how the system protects the guilty as long as they're part of the system.

My understanding of the rules is delegates accumulated through primary victories are committed to voting for the primary winner on the first ballot and if no candidate achieves the necessary votes to win on the first ballot it opens up delegates to vote on the 2nd and future ballots for whomever they decide. Until a nominee is chosen. As he's virtually unopposed I expect Joe has the votes necessary for a first ballot win.

I assume the DNC is going to have to coerce Joe Biden to drop out of the 2024 Presidential race citing the mental and physical toll of the office is just too much at this point. Absent that the optics of involuntarily removing the candidate with the delegate majority going into the convention might be too much drama. Having Joe step down will also avoid the requirement to explain why everyone in the White House, the media, and the party have been lying about Joe's condition for about 1 1/2 year. I use the start date of 10/11/2022 for the topic https://www.twobillsdrive.com/community/topic/242763-biden-clearly-has-dementia-you-can-admit-that-right-four-more-yearspause/ as a reference point. Many of us saw it then and we're told either we weren't doctors or we're engaging in conspiracy. So it obviously they were hiding it and lying about it. So what else are they hiding and lying about? Well the border, the economy, foreign affairs, the war in Ukraine, inflation, crime, etc.

It is a mess and I'd like to hear the perspective of posters that have insisted to this point in time that Biden is "as sharp as a tack" to understand if they're sticking to their position or if they've modified their conclusions based on last night's performance.

By holding a Presidential debate under the unusual circumstances that neither party's convention has nominated their candidate through any formal vote of delegates, do you think its an intentional act by DNC strategists to "set up" Joe Biden to fail here in order to create the necessary urgency to replace him on the ballot before the convention rather than ride Joe to the finish line and take the "L"?

This is true. What's changed is their puppet President is no longer able to fake it. The question everyone should be asking this morning after Biden's obvious mental decline was on display for all to see isn't who won the debate but rather who's been running the country and making decisions assigned to the President by the Constitution for the last 3 years? Hint: Its the Obama crew. This situation is what's know in many places as a palace coup. Its blatantly undemocratic to have a person playing President in the shadows replacing the person everyone is alleged to have voted for in 2020. So what's the deal with all the officials and representatives that know this is the game but go along, participate, or pretend to know nothing?

The Dems theme remains if you can't beat 'em then cheat 'em. As for this they still have an Ace in the hole to play because Trump needs to appear before Judge Juan on July 11th for sentencing. Don't be at all surprised if they sentence Trump to jail time in order to take him off the campaign trail and incite his faithful to partake in acts of civil disobedience which the regime will surely pounce on to arrest and jail more "MAGA extremists" and get some mileage out of their threat to democracy chant.

Its some guy name Harry Sisson. Professional liar and resident mental patient at the state psychiatric center. Joe Scarborough gave a similar "I love Joe Biden" pep talk to his fan base on MSNBC this morning.

Joe's been locked up at Camp David for about a week armed with the questions provided in advance of the debate so he can rehearse and repeat the answers on queue. Even so, will we get one of those "that isn't a question they told me you were going to ask" moments? Meanwhile, Trump goes in cold awaiting a certain ambush from the moderator. Either Don's a moron for accepting the terms of the debate or he's prepared to provide us something entirely surprising. Which for me would be a name-calling free, coherent, fact based, and detailed argument about why Biden's term has been a complete disaster for the country. Which it truly has been.

So stupid that the democrats have to resort to all sorts of dirty tricks, dis and mis information campaigns, censorship, and lawfare to defeat him. And fake impeachments. They're cheating and lying scum. So what's worse?

Let's just make it pistols at 12 paces and call it an evening.

I'm sure you'll be rooting for the drooling vegetable that has transformed our country into an embarrassment in less than 4 years. Why do you hate America?

Military Contractors = Mercenaries. This is just formalizing and admitting what's already been happening.
