Following a week in which special counsel Robert Hur soberly reported that President Biden is a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory” and “diminished faculties” — a man who couldn’t remember when his term as vice president began or ended, or even “within several years” when his son Beau died — scrutiny of Biden’s fitness for office has reached a fever pitch across major media, with some earnestly examining off-ramps for Biden’s shaky re-election bid.
The special counsel report was bad enough by itself, but Biden himself poured gasoline on the fire last week:
- He twice mistakenly referred to the dead male German chancellor Helmut Kohl when he was describing a discussion with living female Angela Merkel
- He cited a conversation he had with François Mitterand — the French president who died 27 years ago — when that conversation was actually with President Emmanuel Macron
- At a press conference meant to bolster confidence in his mental health, Biden referred to Egyptian President Sissi as the president of Mexico
The week also brought a damning NBC News poll, which found 62% of registered voters have “major concerns” about whether Biden has the requisite mental and physical strength for a second term. Only 34% had major concerns about Trump’s capacity, though he’s just four years younger than the 81-year-old Biden.
On Monday, Politico examined avenues by which the Democratic Party might navigate toward a different candidate. First, note that the expiration of most ballot-filing deadlines means it’s too late for a heavyweight to enter the Democratic primary, and the obscure Rep. Dean Phillips challenge campaign — which has emphasized Biden’s weakness as a candidate — hasn’t gained any traction.
Politico‘s Charlie Mahtesian and Steven Shepard also think it’s unlikely we’ll see a floor revolt by Biden delegates at the Democratic Convention. Rather, they focus on a scenario in which Biden sees the primary process all the way through, and then — under mounting public, media and political pressure — announces he will not seek re-election after all and is releasing his delegates to vote for someone else at the national convention, which will be held in Chicago Aug. 19 to 22. Biden might well endorse a candidate, but his delegates wouldn’t be obliged to vote for his pick.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who’s been running an odd non-campaign of his own — to include debating then-GOP hopeful Ron DeSantis — would be among the top contenders, along with Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. It could all make for great entertainment, writes Politico:
The Democrats’ convention, typically a staid affair, would be filled with drama. While Democrats stripped their so-called “superdelegates” of most of their power after 2016, those current and former party leaders and elected officials would get a vote on a potential second ballot at the convention.
That would give them significant sway in picking a nominee in a floor fight, but perhaps at the expense of reopening the 2016-era controversy about the role played by party elites in stifling Bernie Sanders’ chances at the nomination
One thing Politico didn’t note is that the convention is already likely to feature high drama, in the form of protests by Democrats and others infuriated by the Biden administration’s blank-check backing of Israel’s unbridled destruction of Gaza in response to the Oct. 7 Hamas invasion of southern Israel. A floor-fight for the nomination could mean there’s chaos both inside and outside Chicago’s United Center.
While a Biden pre-convention withdrawal would make for quite a spectacle, things would really get wild if Biden were to be nominated at the convention only to subsequently die, resign or be disabled. In that scenario, party rules direct the party chair to “confer with the Democratic leadership of the … Congress and the Democratic Governors Association” and then report to the approximately 450-member Democratic National Committee, which would then choose a new nominee.
The chaos wouldn’t be confined to the Democratic Party: States would be forced to scramble to produce new ballots. Ballots for overseas military service members are shipped just a couple weeks after the late-August Democratic convention, and in-person voting kicks off on Sept. 20 in Minnesota and South Dakota.
None of this is to say that Biden won’t keep mumbling, shuffling, blank-staring and gaffing his way all the way to the Nov 5 general election finish line. However, after last week, fewer people are willing to wager that Biden will be the Democratic nominee:

“He’s a well meaning man”……………….horseshit !
He’s a gawd damn democrat PEDOPHILE who must be hung by the neck until dead !
Trouble here is that you are trying to bring logic and reason to an insane asylum.
As the left sees it, they doesn’t need to replace bitem, they simply need to print more ballots.
and maybe replace the pesky electorate ala replacement theory , which is beyond mere theory , at this late hour .
What election?
If you think it matters that Brandon is a babbling retard…you’re wrong, they could put a monkey behind the desk and still run the country…take Barack for example…
I think that’s what they we’re trying to demonstrate , specially with Bidunce ,that the power is all theirs and there aint a fuckin thing we can do about it . Demoralization .Of course its always read in between the lines as subtext , they never come out and just say anything straight up ,always coming at ya like a sidewinder with a bunch of double talkin ,passive aggressive, jibber jabber ,gas light . There is no truth in them .
I doubt they want an election (the antichrist people) and will dispose of Joe during the next disaster that will befall the US.
A surprise attack is coming to US soil.
One that will really be an insurrection, the migrant Trojan horse army they have set up to make a civil war, a race war against whites and Catholics possibly.
I think they will nuke the US.
I think they will attack the US coasts with ICBMs and nuke key cities possibly wherever one will hit Biden and Kamala.
Gaza happened as a way to demonize the US and make it look justified, and BRICS and all nation that want to join BRICS will behind it.
I see war not an election coming.
They keep telling us a solar flare will hit soon from the Sun.
I believe it will be the microwave and DEWs from the antichrist.’s satellites.
The same will occur in Australia, Europe, Scandinavia, Europe, mabe Canada too.
Armageddon, is coming not an election.
If Joe survives, they will hang him for Gaza.
I definitely agree with you that an attack is coming to US soil , carried out by some combination of hostile illegal entries and it will put real world meaning to our claim that our government is chock full of traitorous sociapaths and evil, villianous ,grifter, scum ,bottom feeders .I don’t mean to softball it , but I don’t know how else to describe my assesment of these people ? Batten down the hatches and keep your firearms in good working condition and close at hand .
and psychologically / spiritually prepare your mind for it .
The people who have taken power are the antichrist.
It goes way beyond political for them.
This is a spiritual war against God, our souls and all that is holy.
Jesus healed people of diseases.
The antichrist pretends to heal people of diseases they make and the cure just makes more death and disease.
Jesus casts out demons and makes people believe in God, and His power.
The antichrist puts demons in everything, the music the movies, anything Disney and porn, drugs and alcohol. They make people agnostic , then athirst, then satanists.
They turned the evangelical religions into places to worship moloch calling them prosperity churches, and worship of the chosen people who are the antichrist.
All devised and paid for by the Rothschilds, who receive a larger return on that investment.
They made you give the Vatican and the holy land to the antichrist, who already took over Russia and China and there is no freedom in either nation.
Then they tell you that Russia is against the NWO=antichrist, so they can fake that they will topple it, like a savior.
However it is a trick to make everyone believe the NWO is no longer a threat.
Then you will realize that Russia and China And Israel are the NWO, not some saviors if you are smart enough and not mentally and spiritually disabled by the Mark of the beast.
Russia and China have already rolled out the digital currencies, and soon will look like they took down the Rothschild central bank but will be their front men bringing in the worst slavery money system imaginable and the one world religion banning all other faiths.
Everyone will be required to see the new banking money system and religion as one, and it will be satanism worship of the antichrist total slavery under the beast system.
They are the antichrist.
Jesus came to lead people to Heaven to help people save their souls from the antichrist.
The antichrist is here to make you destroy your souls and lead you to eternal hell after death. Their real kingdom is not on earth, it is in hell where they rule.
In hell the most evil rule at the top of the pyramid.
In heaven the least are the most loved by the more powerfully good at the top.
Everything they tell you is good for you and in your best interest is the exact opposite of the truth. The antichrist lies.
Jesus Christ is the truth, the way to life everlasting.
The antichrist wants you in hell where God can no longer protect you and there is no death. So they can torture you non stop for eternity.
Look at Gaza, it is what they like to do: non stop torture.
They wish the Palestinians could live so they could keep bombing them and torturing the children women men and newborns forever.
Just as God sent his son to earth to save us from Hell get us to heaven,
The antichrist are the children of satan who go about buying souls and doing the exact opposite of what Christ did on earth and still does from heaven if you pray.
Pray and do not stop seek his protection. His love compassion and mercy have no limit.
The antichrist’s hate cruelty and sadism hospital have no limit.
It is not enough to see Jesus as the ideal to aspire to become more like.
You must also have limits to what is acceptable aligned with Gods limits.
You must stand up and say the ways of the antichrist are unacceptable.
You must make what God finds unacceptable what you find unacceptable.
If not, you will be lost forever.
You can’t serve 2 masters.
Wouldn’t it be easier for the CIA to just off him like Kennedy?
