Our long national nightmare is over!

Well, not quite. Since he refuses to resign the current term. 3 more months of the slow moving cadaver.

No immediate impact. Trump will still win, and some democrat will get a boost towards their 2028 campaign.

When you guys see this in sixteen hours it will blow your minds:

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best… pic.twitter.com/x8DnvuImJV

Interesting. I really didn’t think he would quit.

There’ll be a week or so of released tension, then the calls will start for him to resign.

So much for Steve’s theory that Biden is in control.

I expect a wave of sympathy for the old man, although not necessarily in my comments.

Poor Joe, he could have been a contendah!

I expect a wave of sympathy for the old man, although not necessarily in my comments.

I also expect a wave of undeserved sympathy for Biden, with all sorts of paeans to his “years of service to the Nation”, yada, yada, yada.

The truth is that Joe Biden was/is a deeply corrupt politician, who during his years as a Senator did the bidding of the financial interests, especially consumer credit companies. He ran an influence peddling operation through his family with his degenerate son, Hunter, serving as his bagman.

Biden was a reliable tool of the security-state; he even fronted the original version of the Patriot Act back in the 90s (I don’t believe he actually wrote it or any legislation for that matter). He was a habitual liar, even lying about his own biography in things that were easy to check. He just seemed to enjoy lying. He would do or say anything for momentary political advantage.

He’s the kind of loathsome sociopathic prick who pack the halls of power.

I will give him credit for exactly one thing. He (or at least who ever was pulling his strings at the time) did finally extract our military forces from Afghanistan. It was done poorly, but at least it was done. Trump had four years to do it and didn’t.

I expect a wave of sympathy for the old man, although not necessarily in my comments.

Perhaps the Biden story is not over. A second ‘career’ as a Catholic saint is always possible. St Joseph of Rehoboth; patron saint of addled grifters?

The donors are going to end up split among various potential Democratic nominees, which gives them all a disadvantage because they won’t be uniting the cash behind one candidate. Kamala has already ticked off a bunch of donors in a conference call, or so I have read. A lot of Dems want someone else besides Kamala.

I think Mark Kelly or Josh Shapiro would destroy him in a debate. And both of those guys are bad news. But honestly, so is Trump.

Luckily, Biden is endorsing Kamala Harris. Hopefully she’s the nominee, loses, and Trump does nothing but talk shit in the internet for the next four years.

Thus did it come about, in Year One of the reign of the God-Emperor…

Having already admitted their Leader of the Free World is a hollow shell, I don’t see how they can viably turn around and say the woman they nominated to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency shouldn’t be the Democratic candidate.

Harris will probably have to nominate her husband as VP; nobody else can stand to be around her.

Also possible that Harris gets 100 million votes–most popular candidate ever. Even more popular than the wildly popular Joe Biden.

because they missed Trump. has to be.

that is the sequence of events. they expected Donald Trump to be dead right now.

tried to take him out before Republican Convention, missed, now have to dump Biden before Democrat Convention.

titanic all time historical events happening right now with the fate of the country on the line.

To commemorate the kind of Catholic Biden is, St Joseph of Rehoboth’s followers could wear a little cafeteria tray around their necks.

It’s Trump’s race to lose — which I think is well within his ability.

Policy aside, there hasn’t been a president in years whose speech mannerisms haven’t irritated me in one way or another, and what I’ve got to look forward to now is either an opinionated barfly (yes, I know, he’s a teetotaler, but that’s still how he talks) or a kindergarten teacher. What’s wrong with this country?!?

Kamala is in no way prepared to deal with Donald Trump. Their debate will be a monster truck demolition derby, with Kamala in the beat up Toyota, and Donald in the oversized Semi with monster wheels.

It will be Nasty Skank Bambi vs Godzilla.

Because Kamala is a well-documented certified Ho-bag, Trump should spotlight that, as well as her Indian upbringing that had zero to do with American black culture, and let Kamala self-destruct under the pressure of viable scrutiny. It would help for Trump supporters in the hip hop community join forces on tik tok, and ridicule her fake black angle.

Trump’s strategy should be to disembowel Kamala, with zero worries about blowback. Treat her like Hillary’s filthy, dumb little sister, because that’s exactly what she is.

Pound her into paste of herpes and remorse.

Jim Clyburn is getting one hell of a blow job right about now.

Maybe Harris will nominate him as VP.

I’m honestly surprised. Figured Jill and Hunter would keep him in the race.

They’ll want to “balance the ticket�. I’m assuming Harris gets the nod since Biden endorsed her. I’m assuming her running mate will be some bland white guy without a history of too loony or too far left statements

I expect a wave of sympathy for the old man… for Trump.

What looked like a walk in the park a few hours ago is now a horse race.

Anybody could see Trump and his VanceBot winning against the lettuce head. Now?

Do they HAVE to go with Kamel? Can they just open it up and get some new blood?

Worse yet — can Obama step in and become prez again? Obama and Big Mike — the 20s tour?

This is just the Democrats rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. It is not going to make any difference. They are going to lose.

There likely would have been a red wave in the 2022 election but some Republican candidates took an extremist position on the abortion issue and that alienated some suburban voters. The party learned a lesson from that. Rather than supporting a national abortion ban, they now advocate it be left up to the states.

A recent Gallup poll showed a big jump in support for immigration restriction. People are starting to realize the Democrats open border policy was not a good idea. They realize the mass vaccination requirements for an inadequately tested vaccine and lengthy lockdowns the Democrats pushed was not a good idea. They realize the Biden Ukraine intervention is turning into another quagmire like Vietnam or Afghanistan and was not a good idea. They realize the Democrats defunding the police was not a good idea. Therefore, keeping the Democrats in power is not a good idea.

Mike Novogratz Among Donors Pushing for Risky Plan to Replace Biden

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-19/novogratz-pushes-democrats-to-adopt-risky-plan-to-replace-biden?sref=6uww027M

Democracy (noun): A system of government in which a guy named “Mike Novogratz” decides who will serve as chief executive of the nation.

Go on, Democrats, lecture us some more about “Our Democracy”.

What percentage of leaders who take power through a coup later lose power to a coup?

Probably pretty high.

The polls showed Trump just barely beating the empty shell of Joe Biden.

Trump will need an additional edge to defeat the strong new Democratic candidate.

Fortunately, the Democrats seem to be on the verge of making a big mistake. Trump’s victory is assured if he has enough courage and enough intelligence to take advantage of their mistake.

Biden’s die-hard supporters were anti-war critics of Israel such as Ilhan Omar and AOC. Pro-war Zionists such as Chuck Schumer and Adam Schiff, on the other hand, led the effort to oust Biden. This indicates that the Democratic nominee will be more pro-war and more Zionist than Biden was.

If Trump fervently embraces a true America First foreign policy, with no unprincipled exception for Israel, then he can benefit from the swing vote in this election: the anti-genocide voters who voted “uncommitted” in large numbers in the Democratic primaries, especially in the Rust Belt states.

Trump needs to be a humanitarian, he needs to be an American patriot, and he needs to be politically smart. He needs to promise to end US aid to Israel, and end all wars and economic sanctions against the people who helped him defeat ISIS and Al-Qaeda (Iran, Syria’s Assad, Yemen’s Houthis, Iraq’s PMF, and Lebanon’s Hezbollah).

I was just on the verge of calling Adult Protective Services to report a shocking case of elder abuse against our fearless leader. Thank God Dr. Jill has finally given Sleepy Joe permission to go to bed.

Nighty-night. Don’t let the bedbugs bite.

His endorsement of Harris feels like a big fu to his party.

Jill Biden Drops Out Of Presidential Race https://t.co/hq6RrcVcQC pic.twitter.com/NW4qMlEtmx

— The Babylon Bee (@TheBabylonBee) July 21, 2024

The upside is that Harris, who is absolutely awful, will probably be the nominee. Most of the delegates were chosen for their loyalty to Biden and/or Harris. Ditching Harris would hurt with the black vote. If Harris isn’t the nominee, the running mate will almost certainly be black.

The downside is that Harris now has the option of choosing a more appealing running mate from a battleground state – Whitmer or Shapiro, most likely. Two women on the same ticket would certainly be a first, and might play pretty well.

JD Vance was a brilliant pick, in no small part because of his age. Being in a race with two old men and Harris, who turns 60 this year, made the Republican ticket seem so much younger. But, depending on who the Dems pick, they may neutralize that advantage.

Trump really shouldn’t have agreed to debate Biden so early. It was a huge strategic gaffe. If he had waited until after the Dem’s convention it would be too late for Biden to drop out. Or perhaps certain Democrats were always looking to push Biden out, and would have found another way.

It should be a MAJOR issue for republicans to keep repeating that Democrats are still operating like a crazed cult by not demanding that a mentally disabled Biden step down immediately, since if he’s too senile to carry on in a presidential race, it doesn’t logically follow that he should remain in office, and to do so is clearly putting our country’s national security at risk, and makes no sense except for a party which has digressed into a cult which has hijacked the presidency, putting our democracy in grave danger.

For a disabled Biden to continue with democrat support makes the Democratic Party an enemy of the people. Our national security is at dire risk.

Members of Congress should also lay out articles for impeachment of Biden immediately, with more demands for information regarding his conspiracy to receive payoffs via his crackhead son’s China initiatives. Biden has time to testify in congress now. Let’s not waste it.

Create pressure on him and his crazy crackhead son now.

Harris was picked as someone who could stand next to Biden and make him look presidential by comparison. She dropped out of the 2020 race in 2019. Her pokemon points weren’t enough to get her any particular support among blacks or women.

Now her campaign managers are going to have to compete her against Trump, who just took a bullet for democracy. I guess no one else wanted the job (or does someone?). The hard-core Trump-haters will vote for her of course, but that only goes so far. Can you smell the desperation?

So what’s left? They’ll be scrambling to fortify the hell out of this election. I keep seeing things in my news feed about how COVID is surging in certain states. I think that noise I hear is printers spewing out mail-in ballots by the metric ton.

WWIII is on the table too. So many possibilities.

Where’s it all end? I have my doubts if we’ll actually have an election in November. If we do, it may well be the last.

Sorry, I’m too busy working on my upcoming book From Getting To Giving Blowjobs: The US Presidency From Clinton to Harris.

I know that most of us here don’t think much of Harris, but I think the Harris/Levine ticket will be hard to beat. Oh, hadn’t you heard? Admiral Rachel Levine, transwoman Assistant Secretary for Health of the United States Department of Health, would be ready to serve, I’m sure.

A Black/Indian woman and a transwoman white guy (you know what I mean). I’m pretty sure that covers all the intersectional bases.

1. He has been going from the start – I doubt if any senior Dem expected him to stand – that he didn’t know that is just more evidence…

2. There will be a Dem Convention and the DNC can pretty much insert who they want (no convention and it will be Harris but no one wants her – that she may not know that is just more evidence…).

3. The Dem Candidate must have been known for a while. But the next 3 months program of campaigning has to be re-written starting from the day they are appointed.

4. Incredibly Biden in 2020 got 16m more votes than Hillary in 2016. 15m and 12m votes than Obama in 2012 and 2008. No one has a clue what Biden’s contribution to that was.
The key issue for Dems is to have a credible candidate so that 81m votes can again be counted straight faced.

Josh Shapiro currently in the lead for VP nomination. I’d buy him at current 21 cents up to 30.

https://manifold.markets/Stralor/who-will-be-the-democratic-nominee-9d4a78f63ce1

Are you sure about that? If they appoint a smooth talking and good-looking VP candidate and Trump starts garbling his syntax, isn’t his age going to concern some people? What if some people start thinking, hmm, if he is like this now, how will he be when he is 82 or 83? Some swing voters who reluctantly didn’t want to vote for the corpse may not have that excuse anymore. It is no longer the corpse vs. the criminal choice for them; it is a normal person vs. a criminal.

Well kudos to AnotherBrother who called it a year or two back–though he was expecting it to happen sometime last fall, not this summer after all the primaries. Late still counts.

It makes the Democratic convention way more interesting, and that mere “excitement” can help them–a bit. But likely they are going to be stuck with Harris who excites positively no one. Or they risk generating bad feelings among blackocrats or gyneocrats or both.

Fundamentally the Parasite Party is running up against their “coalition of the fringes” problem that Steve has pointed out. It’s a parasite coalition “united” only in the common enemy of the normal productive white male–who they nonetheless want to keep producing “rich country” loot for them to loot. But the demos in the coalition do not actually love, or even respect, each other very much nor want to be “led”, or “lectured” by each other. (Jews and Muslims. Blacks and Mexicans. Blacks and everyone else. White women and everyone else.)

(I took my quickie poke at some of the fissures here:
https://www.unz.com/isteve/rnc-speeches/#comment-6671513)

Bottom line, amusingly enough their best demo for President–least offensive to the most people–is actually the font of all evil the hetero white gentile male.

Doctah Jill must have been promised something big to agree to this.

Hunter is probably thinking of becoming a Jew and making Aliyah to escape prison in this country. Come to think of it, probably the whole Biden family are contemplating similar strategies.

Now the fun will really begin. A lot of pressure will be applied to make Harris the candidate by the fringes that make up what Steve calls the “Coalition of the Fringes.

But Harris is probably the least popular of all potential candidates. She was getting two percent or so of the dimocrat base vote when she bowed out, early on, during the last primary season. I suspect that a large majority of Americans share my visceral dislike of the woman, based on her mannerisms, her cackle, her absurd word salads when speaking off the cuff, and her unsavory means of rising to political prominence via suction on a certain part of Willie Brown’s anatomy.

An open convention will be a hoot and a half, probably resembling Chicago in 1968.

Let the games begin!

I called it back in February, early in the primaries, in a comment here on iSteve. Biden’s people were keeping his condition quiet until after the primaries, waiting long enough until Kamala was the only likely option – bypassing all the Democratic Party voters. No other way for Kamala to be the nominee. Kamala is corrupt as they come. She has shown that she’s willing to do anything – or anyone – in order to get ahead.

trump and biden and steve all suffering from dementia and all teetotalers.

coincidence?

alcohol is a risk factor for dementia, but only for alcoholic dementia, which unlike all other forms of dementia is reversible.

i can’t help thinking steve’s vascular dementia could have been averted with a wee dram or two.

but now it’s too late.

steve needs to drop out.

sad.

Not sure about the impact, but it could be good for Trump.

Obviously Harris is a third-rate DEI candidate, but as a Holy Black, if she gets passed over, the black female base of the party will screech and some will withhold support.

So either 3rd-rate Harris is the candidate, or a somewhat better 2nd-rate Democrat is the candidate but without as much black female support. Either way, good for Trump.

Biden has endorsed Harris and for any number of reasons they have to give it to her.

I think this will be disastrous for the Dems. Even worse than Biden staying in. They say never underestimate the stupidity of the general public but I think that even the general public can see that Harris lacks the gravitas to be the leader of the free world.

I was speaking to someone today who is connected with Dem. politics in PA and he said that the blak vote in Philly is already maxed out – they can’t have (much) more than 100% of the Philly vote go Dem. So in order to take PA you have to take a certain % of the swing vote in suburban and red counties. Biden has at least some appeal to some blue collar whites but Harris is going to go over with this crowd like a lead balloon.

Even in Philly I don’t think Harris is as appealing as say Obama was. Obama was also a mixed breed immigrant kid raised by his non-black mother but when he became an adult he connected himself to the black community of Chicago. Other than Willie Brown (Harris was sure “connected” to him), Harris cast her lot with white liberals in CA. And her former job was as a prosecutor, puttin’ the brothas and sistas (mostly brothas) in jail. And before the era of catch and release prosecution. This is not a recipe for popularity in the black community.

My suggested line for the Dems:

“Biden is no longer competent enough to be our candidate. He is also no longer competent enough to suggest a replacement candidate.”

Also, I’m waiting for Biden to resign the presidency, retroactive to January 20, 2021.

Two women on the same ticket would certainly be a first, and might play pretty well.

Surely you jest. That would just tell every man still voting Democrat that it’s a women’s club and he ain’t welcome.

It’s already getting fun. I expect it to get crazy before it ends.

The best bookies in the world right now have it at:

Donald Trump — 8/15

Kamala Harris — 9/4

Keep in mind Trump was still a lot higher when it was just him and Joe.

The 10,000 listing for JD Vance will change if it hasn’t already. He gets a few points just for being new. When they get to know him as well as we do, it’ll go right into the gutter.

Why they are listing oddities like Gavin Newsom is a complete mystery to me.

Remember that past omen of the End Times.

The pro wrestler from the 80s and 90s, ‘Kamala the Ugandan Giant’, actually had the real last name ‘Harris’.

James ‘Kamala’ Harris passed away just the DAY before this more recent Kamala Harris became the running mate on the 2020 Democratic ticket. It all happened in the Aug 9-10, 2020 period of 24 hours.

Hence, there was an original ‘Kamala Harris’ 30 years ago :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamala_(wrestler)

To think, the first ‘Kamala Harris’ passed away just the day before the second ‘Kamala Harris’ was appointed on the Veep slot, at a time when never has a Veep had a better chance of actually becoming POTUS due to Biden’s advanced age.

What a coincidence. This was truly an immense coincidence.

This was an Omen of supernatural proportions. It should still not be taken lightly, even four years on. Coincidences of such precision are always omens.

Just like Trump turning his head at exactly the correct split second was also an act of divine intervention. Perhaps this divine act cancels out the previous ‘Kamala’ omen of end times.

Biden dont know what is happening…

I wonder how much longer Biden’s going to live now. I’d give him a 50/50 chance of surviving the next two years and a 1/4 chance of surviving four years. Retirement can be deadly for some people.

If Biden is too far gone to run, then how is he still fit to govern? If he’s fully endorsed the capability of his VP, why not step aside now and let her take the reins of the administration?

One answer, I suppose, is that the people writing the script do not intend Harris to be the president. She may briefly serve as the nominee; but a reason will be found for her, too, to step aside. Look for a troubling financial scandal involving the husband in the coming weeks, to give Harris an alibi to bow out entirely. (This playbook has been rehearsed recently with NJ Sen. Menendez, though he refused to leave gracefully and has been excommunicated from the party.)

In other words, this may be step one in a two-part process to clear the decks of the 2020 ticket, and install a completely new pair before the election. (Again, NJ senatorial politics provides the precedent, in the case of the 11th-hour replacement of the embattled and corrupt Sen. Torricelli.)

Whatever shenanigans are deployed in the coming weeks, I expect most Dem voters to be totally on board, willing to accept *and defend* whatever crazy excuse is proffered for overriding a “democratic� election process. It goes without saying that the media and political class will unquestioningly follow orders.

It is funny how people on the ‘right’ refuse to remember that vote fraud overrides any notion of ‘getting Trump elected’. Trump needs 56% of the vote in any swing state to clear the fraud hurdle and take the EVs of that state. That, of course, is impossible.

Most cuckservatives (both voters and commentators) are going out of their way to not remind anyone that vote fraud is going to happen again, when there is no reason for Dems to abandon something that worked before.

They began immediately after the shock of 2016
By 2020, they had built a hurdle of +3 from vote fraud
By 2024, the fortress they have built is now +6

By the 2030s, the Senate will have a permanent supermajority of Democrats, with the Dem control ranging between 67 and 75 seats at all times. The GOP will be nothing more than a minor controlled opposition bunch of Lincoln Project types.

Maybe conservatism is so unthinking about ‘conserving’ the status quo even if left-wing, that now vote fraud that favors Democrats is something conservatives have a Pavlovian need to ‘conserve’. We are thus in the weird state of Republicans doing the work to maintain the smokescreen that enables vote fraud favoring Democrats.

With a ‘right’ like this, who needs the left?

Generally agree.

The early debate may have been a 4-d chess move. Problem is, the Dems have no particularly good replacement.

Assassination attempt could well be the edge.

What’s the deal Brandon negotiated?

-Dr Jill president of an Ivy
-pardon for Hunter and the whole crooked family
-Big cash payoff via Netflix or something. No more access for Biden Inc to sell
-granddaughter Navy plays in traffic and disappears

Bottom line, amusingly enough their best demo for President–least offensive to the most people–is actually the font of all evil the hetero white gentile male.

I dunno, Obama was pretty popular. I think the RIGHT black candidate (let’s say WESTLEY WATENDE OMARI (WES) MOORE) could have worked pretty well for them, just not Harris. (The Watende Omari is just phony Kwanzaa style blak nationalism from his parents. He actually had a relatively middle class upbringing.)

But yes, a white male works because the Coalition of the Fringes is just a variation on the old zero sum spoils system. If you pick any member of the coalition then the other factions immediately feel that they are being shorted. A white male is a sort of neutral, equally hated by all. However, blacks as the most special CotF member are something of an exception.

Hard to believe Kamala Harris can win. Nobody likes her. Widely considered to be incompetent. From California, which is a negative for most of the nation. Half-Jamaican half-Hindu woman scores some DEI points with some voters, but probably a negative for more voters. She has a lot of other negatives that we will be hearing more about.

Josh Shapiro is turning Pennsylvania into a tax farm for its public sector. Its net domestic migration is -40,500 people a year.

Your comment, which you link to, is spot on.

The dimocrats are going to provide a lot of entertainment this August as they try to prove that A and not-A are logically equivalent, that Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia, that the Ukraine is winning the US hegemon’s war against the Russian Federation, and that Israel is not a genocidal threat to civilization and humanity.

If the curtain is accidentally drawn back and the Pritzker-Clinton-Obama-et al. Machine Wizard is revealed, we’ll truly be leaving Kansas behind.

Uh, you understand leftist men are cucks who are fine with the weaker sex dominating them, yes?

“I think that even the general public can see that Harris lacks the gravitas to be the leader of the free world.”

Jack, is that not what was said of #43…wonder who will be selected to play the role of Kamala’s Cheney?

As for November 5th, guessing when the “popular vote” count is complete, the number will come in well North of the 81 million cast & found for Biden.

“…even the general public can see that Harris lacks the gravitas to be the leader of the free world”

They couldn’t see that Biden was incompetent in 2020… The Dems will line up and do as they are told; if they don’t they will be excommunicated and ostracized. It is a religion, you know.

“… they can’t have (much) more than 100% of the Philly vote go Dem.’

Oh, I’m pretty sure that can be stretched to 106% or even 108%. Hasn’t that been done before? But I’m nitpicking.

Only we think that Harris would be a disastrous choice. The Dems think as they are told to think. Cacklin’ Kamala will be revealed as a canny strategist – she only put on that act because VPs are expected to act like clowns at a bull fight, to protect their principal.

Indeed. I won’t gloat since so many of my predictions are off, but it was clear that he was sunk after the debate, maybe done in by his own party. As for his fortitude, he’s at the stage of his life when implied threats of withdrawal of bathroom assistance or ‘no more chocolate pudding, Joe’ are existential threats.

Biden is a loathsome snake, it is true, but the comments about Biden written by Donald Trump today on Truth Social are unhinged.

It would be better to take Biden to task for his diplomatic failures over Ukraine and Israel.

The question is what happens in the White House now?

Is Kamala Harris now president of the USA effective Monday?

Who will she select as her running mate? George Clooney?

Buttigieg looks like a good candidate, except for one thing that would turn off a lot of voters. But then again Harris is alleged to suck dick too. So maybe they could work together.

Could A. Blinken be the Democrats new Abe Lincoln?

But if Biden quits today, Harris will have the title of President on election day. Unless she screws up big time, who can argue that a president is not fit to be elected to the office of the president?

What’s the over/under on how many more times we see Biden in public? 10?

Does exemption from criminal prosecution in office also apply to a vice-president?

If so there is nothing to stop Kamala Harris from quite legally sticking a knife in the back of Joe Biden so that she can assume the presidency right away.

It has all been done before.

Joe decides to step out just as the skirmish between Israel and the Houthi’s begins to heat up. Now all Joe has to do is resign and leave it all to Harris. The republicans are already are calling for him to step aside. Does the Speaker become VP? Will the racist country fight for Harris? Only time will tell.

It was only a question of when, not if. Biden is endorsing Harris as his successor but that doesn’t mean that the rest of the party agrees. Am still betting on an open (and brokered) convention, with at least one of the two nominees being black (either Harris or someone else).

I am perplexed. Biden seemingly wants to stay in office for the remaining months – so he gives Harris no chance to show presidential abilities, the only way she could improve her reputation. Thus, does he not really support Harris? But then, why say so?

For the numerically inclined, Trump won in 2016 by about 80,000 votes strategically distributed across battleground states. This against a woman about whom one could shout ‘lock her up’ for her email server shenanigans. Between 2016 to 2024, Democrats likely have a 2 million advantage due to demographic change (and thanks to a million plus -predominantly older – Covid deaths). I don’t think it would be a cakewalk against Harris for a 78-year-old man with a perception of “convicted felon”.

The only way to last in Washington for decades is to have zero principals and embrace whatever the latest craze is.

Jones praises his selflessness in pulling out of the race.

None of these newscaster lapdogs can be true leftists as you said he was always in bed with corrupt bankers and warmongers.

Jesus what a tableau!

Perhaps the most fascinating thing here is how Harris has hurtled almost onto the throne despite no one other than the media wanting her. And even they don’t really want her anymore I don’t think, they wanted her in 2019. Well before the 2020 primary’s got rolling many declared her the frontrunner. Nate Silver, in particular, I recall saying this. But then Harris’s primary campaign was a failure beyond imagination. Dropped out before Iowa even cause she got no traction at all. But confused old Biden makes her VP for some unknown reason. Even if they felt obliged to include a black woman as the VP they could’ve looked for someone that hadn’t already failed when put in the limelight. It would’ve been a nonentity, but again, Harris was already a failure. Becoming VP has not made her any more likable though obviously it made her may more prominent. Even so, a primary campaign would’ve been very challenging. No good reason to believe she’d win. But now here she is as the presumptive nominee. May not happen of course, we’re in uncharted waters. But it’ll be hard to deny her after Biden’s endorsement.

Democrat ground game types must be pretty annoyed though. Now they’ve got to reprint all their fake ballots!

Interesting. If they toss her, then they will probably have to nominate another black for VP (if not for POTUS), otherwise the black vote will collectively stay home in November. They can’t afford that.

Buttigieg looks like a good candidate, except for one thing that would turn off a lot of voters. But then again Harris is alleged to [🌬] too.

At least both of them kept it within their respective races, so there’s that.

Could A. Blinken be the Democrats new Abe Lincoln?

Good catch. Is it yours?

Blinken? Interesting.

Pity Tulsi is out.

The Doha Accord was signed in February 2020 under authority of President Trump and US troop withdrawals began within 135 days to be completed by May 2021.

“It’s Trump’s race to lose”

Well, if we see a repeat of 2020 with the b.s. mail-ins and early voting and such, you can bet on it.

America lost its innocence twice in one week; three times if you count the CrowdStrike thing.

A dog’s breakfast of a man.

Humph — wait, sorry… what? Are we talking about Biden?

Well, him too.

I expect a wave of sympathy for the old man

Aye, well he’ll not get it from me. He was a disgraceful shitbag who devoted his life to harming the USA and, indeed, the rest of the world.

But he did give me one guffaw in the last few days. He argued that SCOTUS should have a mandatory retirement age of 80. Meantime he was running for re-election aged 81.

Hugh Hewitt is a conventionally accredited high verbal expert, a government lawyer, a professor of Constitutional law, an attender of elegant Green Zone soirees where he rubs elbows with generals and admirals. He is consistently wrong in predictions, especially on foreign policy.
Mike Gallagher is a goofball theatre nerd with no particular expertise outside radio hosting and musical theatre. He consistently beats Hugh, especially on foreign policy. This past week he started beating a drum: “Don’t say ‘Kamala Harris,’ always say, ‘Border Tsar Kamala Harris.’”
NPR just now, doing their best to put a brave face on the chaos, described the border as one of Harris’s strengths. There is also the problem of idiot women believing that a Republican victory will make the Handmaid’s Tale real, even as the GOP has wisely attempted to step back from abortion as a campaign issue.
A voice on the radio last night, asked to sum it all up: “The CIA is really, really bad at running a country.”

Somebody has to start doing “Kamala the HR Lady” memes.

HR Lady for POTUS!

The free world could really use first-class Human Resources leadership!

Gotta meet those EEOC quotas? Kamala’s the woman for the job.

Biden is a great illustration of the danger of corruption. This isn’t about tallying shortcomings, this isn’t about sin. Every single one of the deaths in the Ukraine are a result of the Biden crime family wanting money that did not belong to it.

Six months. Learn to count.

Has Biden effectively been fired because he couldn’t even carry off a simple assassination?

If Joe’s in control of his bodily functions he’s having a good day. But I think he really didn’t want to stand down. Pushing for Kamala to replace him could be a parting revenge.

If you decide to retire, you were never in control? What? Please think before you post (or click “Agree”.) If you are claiming someone forced Biden not to run again you need to provide actual supporting evidence.

What do you think the impact will be?

The danger isn't that Gamal Harris or Gavin Newfag will get more votes than Trump, the danger is that the Democrats will be fired up to steal the election again because they aren't as demoralised about the new candidate as they were about Biden. "Genocide Joe," dementia, all gone

Do they HAVE to go with Kamel? Can they just open it up and get some new blood?

If you mean Kamala: No, they don’t. The convention will be open. The only legal right she has is if Biden steps down from the presidency. Then she will be president through January 20, 2025.

Your fame might rise a few notches for correctly predicting Kamala Harris’ climbing to the (officially) highest rank.

Oh – and the USA might have a new greeting August personae.

Exactly this – we know that Joe doesn't run that twitter account

The funny part is that the short-sighted people who do run that account couldn't help but tip their hand that Biden doesn't run the "Joe Biden" account – now this casts doubt on it when they want to use it https://t.co/3gmfzgWC5l

It wouldn’t be surprising if the Democrats put one or the other of the Obamas on the ticket.

Barrack can run as VP, Michelle as either. Either one would give Barrack his 4th term.

When you guys see this in sixteen hours it will blow your minds:

What is so remarkable about it?

I dunno, Obama was pretty popular.

Agree. Obama was a great candidate for them, because both because of his affect and being “black” he was a huge stoke for the “good whites” getting to vote for the black messiah, plus had appeal to blacks being “black” (enough). But now the whole “first black!” thing is done.

To be clear, I was talking about statistical generalizations. You have groups–notably blacks and women–that deliver huge numbers of votes and really think they ought to be represented. But members of those groups–and especially the ones who happen to be putting themselves forward–might not actually be all the appealing, competent, compelling to other groups in the party and to the swing voters the party must appeal to in order to win the presidency.

You are correct, in some sense it’s just same old, same old coalition politics. But race and gender advertise and amplify the divisions. When conservatives wanted to bounce Henry Wallace from the ticket–insiders knowing Roosevelt was dying–Jimmy Byrnes might think he’s the smartest guy in the room and ought to be next president, but the party left and right can compromise or a non-entity like Truman who offended no one and everyone in the party and public can sort of hum along ok. But when you have to play race and sex games and end up with an unpleasant incompetent like Kamala Harris, bouncing her becomes much, much more fraught. How dare you suggest a *woman*, a black *woman* isn’t up to the job?

Race/sex diversity makes the coalition much more about *identity* rather than just ideology, policy and spoils and makes the squabbles much, much more fraught. Simple personnel choices/battles can become attacks on “who we are”, on self-worth.

So much for Steve’s theory that Biden is in control.

That theory changed—it’s the Puritans anon. Steve still in the game!

Fortification i.e. fraud. That was what his campaign brought to the table. “The most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics” Joe Biden.

Harris/Pritzker is my prediction. The Democrats will steal enough votes for them to win.

Biden still has time to do a lot more harm. If anything he’s more dangerous now.

You left out the sexual predator part.

This isn’t 1968 or 1972.

Democrats have this thing in the bag regardless of who they run. Contrary to the idea they are a “circular firing squad,� after the 2016 asleep at the switch moment, Democrats will always fall in-line come November. Look at 2020 and 2022. They own the “Ground Game.�

Harvesting, mail-ins, a complicit media and half the former “silent majority� of purple-haired, nose-ringed women conditioned by post-1965 politics to vote exclusively on their dream to one day having an abortion.

Add to that the conditioning of these people that Trump is somehow Hitler and Kamala gets at minimum 90 million votes.

As I tell my Republican friends “It’s over Johnnie…..�

Anon said,

Plan A was calling him hilter
Plan B was calling his supporters nazis
Plan C was saying he was a russian spy
Plan D was fake civil unrest
Plan E was fakedemic
Plan F was steal the election
Plan G was staging an insurrection
Plan H was arresting his supporters
Plan I was lawfare
Plan J was kill him
Plan K giving up???

Him or his double?

The 10,000 listing for JD Vance will change if it hasn’t already. He gets a few points just for being new. When they get to know him as well as we do, it’ll go right into the gutter.

What do you mean? Do you not consider Vance a good candidate?

The next four months are going to be unpleasant — if we’re lucky.

If we’re unlucky, the next four and a half years are going to be unpleasant.

Why is @KamalaHarris the only person that laughs at her jokes… always way to long and way too hard? The most disingenuous person in politics… after Hillary. pic.twitter.com/elskW29XeP

Do they HAVE to go with Kamel? Can they just open it up and get some new blood?

If you mean Kamala: No, they don’t. The convention will be open. The only legal right she has is if Biden steps down from the presidency.

She also has the right to campaign using Joe’s money, which otherwise must be returned to the donor. It can’t go directly to any other candidate.

In other words, the rights of those thousands of individuals who gave him money are better protected than the 14 million individuals who have already given him votes.

https://economics.stanford.edu/people/donald-j-harris

The above link takes you to a Stanford U website with a photo of Kamala’s father, born in Jamaica, later divorced from her mother.

You will notice that from his photo Harris is not “African” but at most biracial.

So, for the racial demographics, Kamala is 1/2 “dot” Indian (mother) and 1/4 “African” Jamaican and somewhere back there, White Jamaican (father), likely from England.

So Kamala is even less “black” than Obama is.

Of course in the Dem propaganda this will be ignored.

When it comes to racial politics, the Democrats still honor the ‘one-drop” rule. (See Sen. “Big Chief’ Liz Warren, 1/1028 th American Indian.)

Democracy (noun): A system of government in which a guy named “Mike Novogratz� decides who will serve as chief executive of the nation.

Be fair, it’s not just Novogratz. Other donors also get a vote. Our Democracyâ„¢ in action. It will doubtless shock you to learn that Novogratz’s brother in law is the owner of TED talks. You could have knocked me over with a feather! Novogratz is not Jewish btw, in case you were wondering though he did get his start at Goldman..

Steve’s theory — which I think is probably right — was that Biden was in fact the top dog, rather than being a puppet of other forces. That’s not the same as having total control though. Even a top dog has to back down if enough of the pack turns on him.

I should add that, having dealt with a relative who had a significant of dementia, I don’t thing Biden was actually senile. He was just physically frail and easily exhausted.

Barrack can run as VP

No he cannot. The final sentence of the Twelfth Amendment:

But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.

Well, he can run till he’s blue in the face, but he cannot serve, even for a day. And probably not even eligible to be on most state’s ballots.

For all the Jew obsessed commentators here, how is this “good for the Jews”?

If Jews control everything, why this now?

I have little doubt that some will eventually construct some Rube Goldberg theory (see! they do control everything!) but at the moment this seems obscure.

All the money invested in Senile Joe is now kaput.

Slogan of the hour: “Believe the Democrat Party! Eventually we get it right!”

‘The upside is that Harris, who is absolutely awful, will probably be the nominee…’

The downside is that she might win.

So you’re saying it’s like Illinois: shedding productive taxpayers and Republicans.

If Trump fervently embraces a true America First foreign policy, with no unprincipled exception for Israel, then he can benefit from the swing vote in this election: the anti-genocide voters who voted “uncommitted� in large numbers in the Democratic primaries, especially in the Rust Belt states.

Don’t quit your day job just yet.

Good catch. Is it yours?

No.

Harris and a Hispanic politician. Man or woman, it doesn’t matter.

The most interesting development is the Clintons almost immediate endorsement of Harris. If she wins, they look like the pros everyone claims they are. If she loses, oh well, they did what they could to help. Obama looks like a Johnny come lately.

If you decide to retire, you were never in control? What? Please think before you post (or click “Agree�.) If you are claiming someone forced Biden not to run again you need to provide actual supporting evidence.

I’ve been reading the news since the debate. Every single news report on the issue said that he did not want to withdraw.

He was pressured.

You could have knocked me over with a feather! Novogratz is not Jewish btw, in case you were wondering though he did get his start at Goldman.

Graetz is not uncommonly a Jewish name.

Per Jim Rickards:

1. Q: In quiet circles, there are serious concerns about Obama assuming the role of president. Since he can’t be elected for a third term, can he run as a vice presidential candidate with Kamala Harris and then legally accept the presidency if the president resigns? Or does the 12th Amendment forbid that? -Bill W.

A: The controlling law in this case is the Twenty-Second Amendment. It says, “No person shall be elected to the office of President more than twice…� Obama has been elected twice so he cannot be elected President again. He could be elected Vice President on a ticket with President Kamala Harris. Thereafter, if Kamala Harris resigned, Obama would become President again. This does not violate the Twenty-Second Amendment because his third time as President is not the result of being “elected to the office.�

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Rickards

Your qualifications and authority, Reg?

Steve thinks that “Biden is in control” (he wasn’t “in control” ever, not even at the beginning of it, nor for his whole life), that there are no conspiracies and that the elites are well-meaning but inept, that racial replacement is being pushed just because the Harvard grads haven’t realized that Blacks run faster than Whites (which proves “HBD”, thus, that Blacks are also dumber), etc etc.

There will be no impact. Trump has been already selected as the next president for a while, the fake ritual of the “assassination attempt” was only the final step.

Who would they choose, Maxine Waters? lol

It’s all a lot of drama but will things really be that different no matter who runs and wins in November? The biggest impact will be all the hard feelings generated. Will permanent Washington tolerate real change? All the evidence says otherwise.

Kamala was too lazy and narcissistic to work with an acting coach during the transition, or thereafter. But her staff is sure scrambling to hire one right now, as I type this. And, the hard part, diplomatically negotiating with fiery private Kamala: Please, Madam Vice President…at least work on eliminating the charming, winsome, but now-inappropriate laugh, and the too-companionable tone. Just a gravitas short course.� Harris will agree to that much. The result will be that, while word-salad verbal constructions will still be uttered, these will be delivered in a style that does not resemble a kindergarten teacher. She would need to take a short refresher course every single day until it truly sinks in.

Are we sure that Biden is still alive? A Twitter statement and a promised TV appearance later this week does not inspire confidence.

Actually, that’s one of the simplest issues here. The Obamist faction of the Democrats has been the coldest toward Israel in memory. Biden restored the JCPOA, indirectly supported terrorism, then hemmed and hawwed about supporting Israel during a war, and picked fights with their leadership. There’s lots of other things happening but this part of it is quite straightforward.
———
Did Biden have anything to do with this tweet? He doesn’t write his own tweets. Announcing this by tweet and not by a proper press conference sounds suspicious. This morning his campaign manager went on TV and insisted that Biden wasn’t dropping out. After the tweet, Biden campaign staffers told journalists that they were caught completely off guard and had had no indication he’d leave the race.
I honestly think they just waited until he was asleep and then tweeted this because, like legislating gay marriage from the bench, it’s a matter of overcoming inertia. Now Biden has to go along with it because properly rejecting the tweet would prove that nobody’s in charge anyway.
——–
Democrats just blew up their own narratives regarding 2020 and Biden’s competency in the first three years. Everyone now understands why Biden didn’t campaign in 2020 and that the election was fraudulent.

Buttigieg looks like a good candidate, except for one thing that would turn off a lot of voters.

The Maltese Chickenhawk, as it were.

A Black/Indian woman and a transwoman white guy (you know what I mean). I’m pretty sure that covers all the intersectional bases.

A Dindu-Hindu and a Man-Woman. American unity at its finest.

A recent Gallup poll showed a big jump in support for immigration restriction. People are starting to realize the Democrats open border policy was not a good idea.

More fool Gallup.

The Democrats do not have an open borders policy, except for specially designated temporary protected status Nations such as Cuba, Haiti, and Venezuela.

Of course the Democrats are still complying with the UN international treaty on refugees and asylum, as did the Trump administration.

It is not yet clear what legislative changes the Republicans intend to make regarding the excepted Nations and the asylum laws.

If Trump wins the election and takes office and on day one he issues an executive order saying that the United States no longer has an open borders policy, this will achieve precisely nothing.

Why would anyone with a possible future at that level want to be number 2 to Kamala?

I am surprised by Biden’s withdrawal, but then the man is clearly dying. He should spend what little time he has left with his grandchildren, including the one he has so far refused to meet.

The Harris selection is good.

First, by rallying around her, the party avoids an ugly intraparty fight.

Second, since Harris isn’t dying, she can actually campaign. She may be an unlikeable moron, but being able to campaign is an upgrade over obviously dying. In this sense she’s high variance, whereas with Joe there’s no hope of recovery.

Third, because the Democrats are probably cooked in November no matter what, letting Harris take the L eliminates this obvious liability from future Presidential races. The party can then nominate a better contender like Newsom, Whitmer, Shapiro, Kelly, or Beshear in 2028 to square off against Vance.

I’m sure her Jamaican grandfather having owned 200 slaves back in the day will help her with the black vote. I wonder how reparations work in that case?

My argument all along is that Biden could not drop out because the Dems had no adequate substitute.

I was wrong. They do have no adequate substitute for 2024, but they need to remove Kamala from the running for 2028 without seeming racist. The Dems are going to use the 2024 election to eliminate Kamala from all future presidential elections by having her lose that election.

The knives are out for Kamala. She is that repellent. She is Hillary-level repellent. The Dems need her to go away. And there is nothing quite so effective as having her run against Trump this year.

Who are the Dems going to run against JD Vance in 2028? My guess is Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman. The man has Kennedy-level charisma.

Novogratz is not Jewish btw

The more common spellings of Novogoratz and Novogoracz are bunched up in the village of Szentpéterfa, Hungary, along the borders of Austria and Slovenia. It is to be found at the south end of this monstrosity:

Perhaps Melania could supply us with details.

Michael’s father was a football star at Army back when that meant something. This makes Mike the Mark Harmon of Silicon Valley.

Back to the campaign, now two of the last three Democratic candidates have been women, and two-and-a-half of the last five black. The last one who was white, male, and coherent was John Kerry, 20 years ago.

They’re having him withdraw now so he can prepare to run again in 2028.

Strange how Biden did not hold a press conference and instead announced the decision via Twitter and the online letter. It’s and understatement to say this is totally Soviet. Of course, since the Democrat party is now run by Jewish Bolsheviks this shouldn’t come as a surprise.

This exchange between Bardon Kaldian & Jonathan Mason seems worth preserving.

Biden (or something/someone looking remarkably similar) is scheduled to meet Netanyahu in Washington on Tuesday. It’s said that he didn’t want to give Netanyahu the satisfaction of his standing down before the visit. All very curious.

If Trump wins, he can retire any time after he’s sworn in, and it won’t affect his legacy. In fact, retiring sooner would be better as he wouldn’t have the problem of unforeseen recessions, etc. Hopefully, he doesn’t have in mind something like “be remembered as the President who ended Iran.”

Might have to distinguish between scripted and unscripted appearances.

Remember that the Dem-Media-Industrial-Complex successfully kept unscripted Joe, who occupies the most scrutinized office on earth, out of the public eye for four years. When everyone finally got an at-length look at Joe in the debate, it wasn’t his “debate performance” that was shocking, it was that his obvious incompetency had been hidden for so long.

They won’t want a sequel.

So maybe a few scripted (teleprompter+ Adderall) appearances. Maaaaybe an accidental comment or two between venues. But they put down the marker that Joe had “an off night.” They don’t want it obviously confirmed that they were lying again.

Trump just needs to whip out the fight, fight, fight photo

The nightmare is dead!

Long live the nightmare!

The Dems think as they are told to think. Cacklin’ Kamala will be revealed as a canny strategist – she only put on that act because VPs are expected to act like clowns at a bull fight, to protect their principal.

Her persona till now, starting as a sex worker for Willie Brown, has been a clever impersonation like the Scarlet Pimpernel. Kamala has mastered (mistressed?) the art of 4-D chess! She’ll be comin’ round the mountain when she comes!

Great convention Guys!

I was thoroughly entertained.

Steve Sailer sez:

I don’t need Unz Review now. I struck it so rich, I’ve decided to chuck it. So long, all you losers, now beggars can choose, and I’m going the Substack route. Suck it!

After the nominee is determined, Biden should resign.

Over the last few months, Biden had lost people’s confidence that he can perform as President during the next few years.

He isn’t getting any younger.

The Taliban took over so leaving Afghanistan was a massive failure.

It’s Trump’s race to lose — which I think is well within his ability.

He didn’t waste a millisecond. He has been posting like a maniac.

So, we are forced to spend time and money on fighting Crooked Joe Biden, he polls badly after having a terrible debate, and quits the race. Now we have to start all over again. Shouldn’t the Republican Party be reimbursed for fraud in that everybody around Joe, including his doctors and the Fake News Media, knew he was not capable of running for, or being, President? Just askin’?

My debate with Crooked Joe Biden, the Worst President in the history of the United States, was slated to be broadcast on Fake News ABC, the home of George Slopadopolus, sometime in September. Now that Joe has, not surprisingly, has quit the race, I think the Debate, with whomever the Radical Left Democrats choose, should be held on FoxNews, rather than very biased ABC. Thank you! DJT

Does anybody really believe that Crooked Joe had Covid? No, he wanted to get out ever since June 27th, the night of The Debate, where he was completely obliterated. That was the big moment in Joe Biden’s demise. That was the point in time when Joe was revealed for what he is, an incompetent man who should never have been President. Joe Biden is not fit to serve – He is destroying our Country!

Crooked Joe Biden is the Worst President, by far, in the History of our Nation. He has done everything possible to destroy our Country, from our Southern Border, to Energy Dominance, National Security, International Standing, and so much more. He was annihilated in an Earth Shattering Debate, and now the Corrupt and Radical Democrats are throwing him overboard. He was not fit to serve from the very beginning, but the people around him lied to America about his Complete and Total Mental, Physical, and Cognitive Demise. Whoever the Left puts up now will just be more of the same. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve – And never was! He only attained the position of President by lies, Fake News, and not leaving his Basement. All those around him, including his Doctor and the Media, knew that he wasn’t capable of being President, and he wasn’t – And now, look what he’s done to our Country, with millions of people coming across our Border, totally unchecked and unvetted, many from prisons, mental institutions, and record numbers of terrorists. We will suffer greatly because of his presidency, but we will remedy the damage he has done very quickly. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

If a true “America First” platform gives the anti-genocide “uncommitted” Democratic primary voters a good reason to stay home, vote 3rd party, or even switch to the Republicans, then Trump will win all the swing states.

Agreed. Tulsi seems to be a real person. I could see Josh Shapiro as a dark horse.

At first I read coherent as continent.

The Republican Convention looked very good for the Jews. I doubt the Democratic Convention will look as good.

Hasn’t the commenter noticed that the Big Jews are solidly behing Trump?

But, he supposedly remains popular …can you explain?

Interesting title. But Harris might not be the first president to qualify, I’m afraid.

No real impact. What could possibly change?

No immediate impact. Trump will still win, and some democrat will get a boost towards their 2028 campaign.

Trump’s best chance was against Biden. Polls have been clear on that over a year.

Independents in swing states take practically anyone over Trump.

He will be in trouble if the Democrats field an experienced moderate.

Wrestling Kamala had an obscure punchline career, dooming his latter-day ‘namesake’ to a similar fate. Meanwhile, Hulkamania and Trumpamania is running wild to this day.

Harris will pick Eva Longoria or one of the Mexican telenovela girls.

No white is gonna be on the Democrat ticket for a while…even if Harris picks a white Latina, they are not a White Anglo.

Your fame might rise a few notches for correctly predicting Kamala Harris’ climbing to the (officially) highest rank.

LOL. People were already aware she is Vice President. Not much of a stretch to predict her being in the running.

There’s an economic pundit called Jim Rickards who was adamant months ago that Biden would not run. Now he speculates that Obama could be the Vice President, and if Harris stands down once she is elected, Obama would be the President again.

Independents in swing states take practically anyone over Trump. He will be in trouble if the Democrats field an experienced moderate.

I don’t necessarily disagree, but how does the crazy progressive wing of the Democrats allow that to happen? And there are few national Democrats who are “experienced moderates�. And I think the “hide senile Joe� shell game, along with “VP Kneepads�, has done substantial damage to what’s left of the Democrats’ brand.

Wrestling Kamala had an obscure punchline career, dooming his latter-day ‘namesake’ to a similar fate. Meanwhile, Hulkamania and Trumpamania is running wild to this day.

Your point could have been made with greater emphasis with this clip :

However, we should not assume that the first Kamala Harris was an ally of the second Kamala Harris, since she took his life energy. He died pretty much on the same day as her anointment onto the Biden ticket (August 9-10, 2020). If anything, she seized his life energy against his will for satanic purposes.

The role of this website was not small either.

Trump’s response was incredibly deranged and uncouth… I could believe it’s him and not a PR person at least lol.

He will be in trouble if the Democrats field an experienced moderate.

Who would that be? Commenters here have named Shapiro, for example. I’d bet more than 50% of registered democrats couldn’t pick him out of lineup. Buttigieg? Fuck no. Not enough time to market a candidate, I don’t think.

just for the record, the b/w ‘shop was originally a photo of (L to R) Voroshilov, Stalin, and NKVD chief Yezhov out for a stroll, first published in Pravda/Izvestia…..shortly thereafter,Yezhov was purged, shot, and replaced by Beria. The photo was then republished minus Yezhov.

It’s a de facto open border. The law has not changed but someone (Biden administration) decided to ignore the law and let millions stroll in.

Sure they might have court dates for establishing that they’re refugees but how many will show up?

I am perplexed. Biden seemingly wants to stay in office for the remaining months – so he gives Harris no chance to show presidential abilities, the only way she could improve her reputation. Thus, does he not really support Harris? But then, why say so?

You’re missing the obvious–not letting her show her “presidential abilities” is a huge net plus for the Harris campaign.

But I think realistically Joe’s endorsement is not because he loves or even like Harris, it is a claim that he did not screw up back in 2020, it is an endorsement of himself as a decision maker.

He was killed the same day Biden picked the sucker.
Coincidence?

Trump will miss Joe:

I know that most of us here don’t think much of Harris, but I think the Harris/Levine ticket will be hard to beat. Oh, hadn’t you heard? Admiral Rachel Levine, transwoman Assistant Secretary for Health of the United States Department of Health, would be ready to serve, I’m sure.

Republican ads should prominently feature Biden/Harris appointees like Levine and that luggage-stealing, dog-f**king weirdo they named to a responsible post in the Department of Energy with the tag-line:

Do you want more of this, America?

As an aside, the last President to be elected without having any legitimate children was Warren Harding.

Taking it one step further, the most recent President to have no biological grandchildren is Ronald Reagan, although it isn’t completely out of the question just yet.

The Doha Accord was signed in February 2020 under authority of President Trump and US troop withdrawals began within 135 days to be completed by May 2021.

He could have extracted our forces from Afghanistan starting in January 2017. We don’t need a pact, a treaty, or an accord to just say: We are outta here! Been nice smellin’ ya! (not).

If he was serious about it, he’d have seen that it was completed during his first term.

The Republicans can’t help but to double down on stupid!! Continually reinforcing the fact that Biden suffers from dementia has resulted in him pulling out of the race. So, a younger, less “Demented” candidate will face Trump in the race. Not that I care!

How much cash did Jeffrey Katzenburg et al pay Biden to step down?

Why was this big decision not announced by the President himself? Not even a video of him announcing he is dropping out of the race. If Biden was in control of this administration he would have made this announcement on TV with Kamala Harris by his side.

Is Joe Biden even aware of the statement his handlers gave to the press today? When will Joe Biden realize he is no longer the Dem Nominee?

I think the Jill Biden thing is sociologically interesting:

There have been women doing the whole “power behind the throne” thing– including trying to hang after a their husband had lost his mojo–before in history.

Nonetheless any sort of decent wife would have realized this situation was untenable and rather than pushing him to stay in nudged him out a nudged him to bow out of another run a year or more ago and retired to enjoy her grandchildren.

But here’s the thing. Jill Biden–as far as I can tell–does not have any grandchildren and never will. Her lone daughter Ashley Biden has been married to some Jewish guy for a decade–with no kids–and is now 40 something. (Hunter, of course, continues to sire children like he’s Secretariat but Hunter is not hers.)

Effectively Jill is a twig, with only a smaller twig that didn’t fruit–a barren branch of the tree of life. She passes on nothing. So being First Lady and a power behind the throne with all the attention and deference that got her, was probably really hard to let go of … for an empty old age of nothing more than watching old Joe nod off and poop his pants.

And as the West dies, we see more and more people, more and more families in similar scenarios where no descendants will be left behind and the end of their lives just fade … snap off and drop to the forest floor. Vibrant fertile Guatemalans, Somalis and Nigerians saplings sprouting up to replace them.

After 8 years of Obama I think people became accepting of a president who liked to smoke the pole.

Sure they might have court dates for establishing that they’re refugees but how many will show up?

I don’t know. Does anybody have any statistics on what percentage are showing up, taking into account that some will already have gone home voluntarily?

OT – this happened in a place called “Oakland”. I remember a city called Oakland in the old United States of America. But this clearly isn’t the United States of America.

Meanwhile, an average night in Oakland

“Might have to distinguish between scripted and unscripted appearances. ”

That true, although I can’t remember an unscripted appearance since he took office.

“Remember that the Dem-Media-Industrial-Complex”

Try Dem Industrial Complex-Media, or DIC-M for short.

Josh Shapiro is the executive of Pennsylvania. His counter sniper state police unit failed to kill Crooks before he got off several shots.

Josh is now presumptive Harris Shapiro 2024!

What a week that was.

“Nonetheless any sort of decent wife would have realized this situation was untenable and rather than pushing him to stay in nudged him out a nudged him to bow out of another run a year or more ago and retired to enjoy her grandchildren.”

It seems pretty obvious that Jill’s entire relationship with Sloppy Joe has been, from her standpoint, all about access to power and privilege. She could care less about grandkids, probably only spit out one kid with Joe to make sure she had a claim to his assets through the daughter (similar to how women get impregnated by pro athletes merely to gain access to the gravy train.) in case divorce or death came a knockin;.

So of course she would fight hard to have him run again – she wants 4 more years how the pampering and privilege a first lady gets. It’s all that matters to her, and she will gladly sacrifice what ever remaining dignity/legacy Joe might have to keep it. She’s a pathological narcissist.

How bad could a Harris Presidency be? We’re seeing all kids of overwrought analysis from the right about just how terrible they think it could be.

Well, I’m not saying that we won’t get our hair mussed. But I do say, no more than six or seven billion killed, tops! Depending on the breaks.

“Half-Jamaican half-Hindu woman”

You forgot to mention, ALL-Not-American. Which of course is the new “American” these days, im Dickicht. Take a bow, Jack D, you finally got what you wanted.

“but probably a negative for more voters.”

Pfft. As if “voting” actually matters. You’re so charmingly 20th-century. Wait, maybe 19th-century.

The US Supreme Court decided Heller in 2008 with Justice Samuel Alito as the fifth vote. In 2005, Justice Alito was confirmed to SCOTUS after Justice O’Connor had stepped down due to husband’s dementia issues.

William Kirk goes back to the case of NAGR v. Garland, a challenge to ATF’s rule on forced reset triggers, but now the DOJ is fighting back with new ammunition. You see, it appears that there is some sloppy language in the Cargill opinion that DOJ has now attached itself to in furtherance of their argument that these trigger do, in fact, constitute unlawful machine guns.

This is quite a funny take. The assassination attempt, whatever the origin etc has significantly impacted this calculus. While I’m inclined to think nothing changes as a sort of default position I do reckon that Trump is now the moderate. The left are the swivel eyed lunatics in the middle American mind now.

We don’t talk enough about Pokemon points.

Straight white religious girls from good families quickly realize they MUST become atheistic “LUGs” (Lesbians Until Graduation) in order to survive college.

Their professors are fat black atheist lesbians in wheelchairs with they/them pronouns, thus prompting the nubile frosh to engage in a mad dash for Pokemon points as fast as possible.

Yeah, by far the most interesting take. The more you think about it, the more plausible it gets.

The UN treaty doesn’t obligate US to take in Ecuadorian or Chinese asylum seekers.

Also, Marxist Jamaican woman. Where is the Birth certificate? Where is the Long form BC?

But here’s the thing. Jill Biden–as far as I can tell–does not have any grandchildren and never will.

What about Hunter’s byblow with stripper Lunden Roberts? Though the Bidens seem to want to sweep that under the carpet.

If Democrats field a moderate, I agree that Trump will have trouble getting reelected. But he shouldn’t have trouble. No matter whom the Dems run, America gets the same disastrous policies and programs put in place by whomever was running the country while Biden took a three and a half year nap. Democrats never run on their actual agenda of open borders, inflationary government spending, centralized health care, US global hegemony and elimination of home ownership, the middle class, and the nuclear family, etc

Minimal. Whether it is Biden or Harris, this is a kamikaze mission barring a GOP meltdown: and the fact that Trump’s legal conviction failed ultimately to compensate for Biden’s unpopularity speaks volumes on what it would take there. When LBJ dropped out in 1968, he still had the core of the New Deal coalition with which he could attempt a late push against Republican challengers, and he was dealing with four different challengers, not one. The two situations aren’t comparable.

I wonder if the turning point was Jill Biden having this spelled out to her in no uncertain terms after the failed assassination attempt on Trump.

“And as the West dies, we see more and more people, more and more families in similar scenarios where no descendants will be left behind and the end of their lives just fade … snap off and drop to the forest floor. Vibrant fertile Guatemalans, Somalis and Nigerians saplings sprouting up to replace them. ”

Alas regression to the human mean.

The Democrats do not have an open borders policy

It’s a de facto open border.

Exactly. It’s not open borders on paper. But it’s not our longest-running de facto immigration problem, either. That would be the ignoring of the public charge provision. Which is still on the books.

“Public charge” means relying on public programs for financial support. I would define it much more strictly, to mean not earning or spending enough to contribute the median tax revenue.

Poor immigrants also push poor citizens further into poverty, so the problem is twice as bad as it appears on the surface.

Novogratz sounds like a Germanized version of a Magyar or Slavic name. It wasn’t uncommon for families living in ethnically mixed regions to change their names to sound more German in the environment of the 1920s and 1930s, both in the former Habsburg realm or in Prussia. I’m sure there was a parallel dynamic in a place like, say, interwar Poland, home to sizeable Jewish, Ukrainian, German, Belarussian and Lithuanian minorities: many of whom were not at all happy to be in the new state.

Just within that map… Burgenland used to be Hungarian speaking. Eisenstadt was known as Kismarton. Bratislava was over 90% German or Magyar and was known as Pressburg. And Brno, like a lot of cities throughout the lands of the former four eagles of conservative monarchy, had one ethnic group (Germans-they called the city Brünn) in the city and another (Czechs) dominate the countryside surrounding it.

>Perhaps Melania could supply us with details.

She grew up in the former Yugoslavia and would probably be more informative about that.

> The last one who was white, male, and coherent was John Kerry, 20 years ago.

If we are using John Kerry as an upward bar, heaven help us all.

Steve how fast can you support the cause with anti-Kamalalala hit pieces?

The Democrats do not have an open borders policy …

If Trump wins the election and takes office and on day one he issues an executive order saying that the United States no longer has an open borders policy, this will achieve precisely nothing.

Mason, please just stop. Stop.

C. Augustus passed over his low-IQ (not retarded but a big loser) natural son in favor of his stepson Tiberius. Beyond that, he quasi-imprisoned him rather than let him marry and procreate, though he didn’t anticipate his more promising sons dying young.

I think having no hope of grandchildren is sad, but if Dr. Jill has a big passel of quality nieces and nephews with children that isn’t so bad.

Agreed. There’s no way Harris is going to be able to do what Obama did. Apart from it no longer being novel, she just does not cause American intellectuals to have involuntary orgasms nor has the same emotional connection with black voters.

If Harris really was an appealing prospect who could easily beat Trump, Jill would have never been able to keep Biden in the saddle as long as she did. It’s part of why I strongly suspect she’s a sacrifice bone who 2024 can be blamed on.

>Simple personnel choices/battles can become attacks on “who we are�, on self-worth.

Lebanon, Yugoslavia, the former USSR…

I’m going to focus on 2024 (and perhaps previous elections), too early to make such confident predictions about following ones.

Maybe part of our posture is that we’re not convinced the Democrats can suborn the elections in 34-37 states to reach your projected Senatorial totals, especially when we are in 1980 type economic conditions that are substantially caused by “Biden.”

By 2024, the fortress they have built is now +6

How many, which specific states you make a case for this?

How are you so absolutely sure all “safe” Blue states will be that way come November? Past elections almost always include at least one surprise; maybe there will be more this year, again if it’s 1980, “are you better off than you were four years ago?”

And there’s potentials for disastrous (mostly) Blue foreign policy outcomes we’ve not quite seen yet to compare to 1980, but there could be much pain in the cards due to insane procurement policies, most especially including munition production and inventories.

Meanwhile, on the RNC side, the Romney who helped lose three election cycles is out, noises are being made about reining in election cheating, and we hear about some cases being in progress.

I don’t know. Does anybody have any statistics on what percentage are showing up,…..

In all likelihood? Just about none of them. They all know that immigration enforcement is mostly an empty threat. They are “in the system” under some name or another, but how do we even know it’s their real name?

It’s still all about the Purple13. The remainder of the country has pretty much made up it’s mind.

So if Harris grabs a few competitive states –by no means a sure thing– she’s in: provided she picks a VP that doesn’t freak everybody out.

I see trump winning in Ga, Az where he didn’t last time. Maybe Harris wins squeakers in Va, Pa, NH.

What will Netanyahu do (this week) to leverage his blood-thirsty support. He digs the authoritarian Trump while Harris has a Jewish husband? The Gaza war should still be in gear on our election day.

And as the West dies, we see more and more people, more and more families in similar scenarios where no descendants will be left behind and the end of their lives just fade … snap off and drop to the forest floor. Vibrant fertile Guatemalans, Somalis and Nigerians saplings sprouting up to replace them.

I’ve thought about that too. I made sure to have kids in my twenties (the best time for women). So did my sister. We have thirteen grandchildren between us.

Yet so many are voluntarily childless. It’s rude to ask people about it so I don’t know what they’re thinking.

It should be a MAJOR issue for republicans to keep repeating that Democrats are still operating like a crazed cult by not demanding that a mentally disabled Biden step down immediately, since if he’s too senile …

No. That’s not even an issue much less a “MAJOR” issue.

The issue that matters, the alpha and omega is immigration. And broadening from that minoritarianism–DEI, CRT, pro-crime black pandering, tranny nonsense (against natural sexuality, marriage, fertility, family).

We are seeing the immivasion/fertility destruction of the greatest civilization in human history–the West.

That is what matters. If your “MAJOR” issue is taxes or Israel or Ukraine or green energy or spending whatever … you are clueless. Some things are transients that will be gone with the wind. Some this are substantial and forever–existential. If they are not fixed, then our nation(s) no longer exist and all the other nonsense is utterly irrelevant.

Well said. Immigration, particularly from CA and Mexico and worst of all, sub Saharan Africa , is the only issue. All other things can be reversed.

No one likes Kamala. She couldn’t get blacks to vote for her in Carolina for crying out loud. Pritzker? Newsom? No chance. The only guy they have is Manchin out of W Virginia but the communists in the party would walk out if it was him, or someone like him. Biden was, and it’s hard to believe, their best shot. I think the owners of America have woken up and realized they were killing the golden goose. We may actually have a shot at going back towards a little bit of normalcy.

‘Harris and a Hispanic politician. Man or woman, it doesn’t matter.’

Who’d you have in mind? It’s indicative of the extent to which the Democratic party has taken Hispanics for granted that there are no Hispanic politicians of stature.

‘…But I think realistically Joe’s endorsement is not because he loves or even like Harris, it is a claim that he did not screw up back in 2020, it is an endorsement of himself as a decision maker.’

This is a little far-fetched. Speaking for myself, I took it for granted that Biden had nothing to do with the decision.

Once again, your hamster wheel is out of control with unbridled gaslighting. There was no steal in The Election of 2020. Trump lost. He said so himself. Even audits in AZ and WI showed there was not the type of fraud as alleged.

Biden has an honest lock on the title of worst president ever. I can’t think of a single positive achievement on his part, and there are plenty of negative ones.

Hey, it wasn’t James Buchanan’s fault the nation was ripped apart during his term, because the forces that did so predated his administration, and he was not responsible for creating them. Yes, Franklin Pierce drank, but he didn’t allow his country to be flooded by invaders with the hope of getting himself re-elected. Yes, Carter screwed up in Iran, but he didn’t assist another country in committing genocide. Yes, Lyndon Johnson got us mired in Vietnam, but he has some nifty books written about him by Robert Caro, so there is no great loss without some small gain, as the saying goes. There is going to be no great book written about Biden. His klutzy ineptitude is not capable of inspiring any author that way. Biden is a class clown with his goofiness barely covering a nasty, vindictive streak.

Yes, Obama ran up the national debt, but Biden ran up the national debt and topped that with massive inflation at the same time. Biden also produced the worst presidential offspring ever in Hunter, beating out John Adams’ drunk son Charles. Biden was the worst influence peddler since Ulysses Grant, but Grant actually won a war, and Biden couldn’t even manage a simple withdrawal in Afghanistan.

Yes, Hoover mismanaged the economy after a stock market crash, but at least he had a distinguished career beforehand. All Biden was noted for was being 2nd banana and suckup to Obama.

At least William Henry Harrison had the grace to die in office in his first few weeks, unlike Biden, and Harrison may have turned out to be a decent president. Biden? Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, buddy.

‘Kamala is in no way prepared to deal with Donald Trump…’

We’ll see. Trump may fall victim to ‘mustn’t be mean to the Negro’ disease.

I’m glad someone used the C word because that’s what this was. Biden didn’t “drop out,” he was likely threatened with physical harm or a life sentence in Supermax for Hunter. Anyone who knows Biden knows he’s a narcissist who would never do anything for “the good of the country.” It’s Joe first, and I’m not even factoring in his sadistic, power-mad wife.

So, the party that offers lectures on the sanctity of our democracy just staged a coup before our eyes, after a fake and rigged primary, and Dems expect us not to notice it.

If your “MAJOR� issue is taxes or Israel or Ukraine or green energy or spending whatever … you are clueless.

Without the Israel lobby we would not be in this Great Replacement existential crisis you denounce.

You know this, right?

My dad’s brother married a woman with 12 siblings. They had 4 children, two of each, all in their forties or older now. They have one grandchild. And they’re Catholic!

On a lighter note but in same vein as dropping out…

Eldrick dropped out of PGA tourney. Not gonna play til end of year, he’s pushing 50. May have to think about going over to the Seniors.

Steve? Perhaps an entire section of golf articles for your next book, the rise, fall, last gasp, and final decline of Eldrick.

TICK. TICK. TICK.

PS: Some substandards got inducted into Cooperstown this year, like Todd Helton and Joe Mauer. If stats are supposed to count, you might as well induct Dave Kingman, Al Oliver, Rusty Staub, and Dave Parker at this point.

What % of America was white in 1980?

What % of America is white today?

Biden’s withdrawal deprives comedians of the ability to display their joke wit.

There’s an economic pundit called Jim Rickards who… speculates that Obama could be the Vice President, and if Harris stands down once she is elected, Obama would be the President again.

An “economic pundit”, perhaps, but a constitutional moron. Obama, Bush, and Clinton are ineligible to be Vice President. 12 + 22.

Jimmy Carter and Taylor Swift, however, are both eligible.

Biden was, and it’s hard to believe, their best shot

That was not their best shot.

You don’t run a candidate where a majority of the party wants him to leave:

No one likes Kamala. She couldn’t get blacks to vote for her in Carolina for crying out loud. Pritzker? Newsom? No chance.

You’re focused too much on names tossed around the media.

Moderates and independents in swing states don’t like Trump. That is the reality. It doesn’t matter how many Black pastors or former wrestlers Trump can bring to the table. A million screaming MAGA fanatics don’t decide the presidential election.

All the Democrats have to do is run some boring White guy with a business background. That’s it.

The question is whether or not they will do what is practical or if they will select a candidate based on White guilt.
