    Why does JoJo Biden refuse to take a Cognitive Test and share the results with the American public?
    President Trump did that voluntarily.

    Oh he did? How nice, sheck! Hey, how the former president do? Why would so many people tell him to take a lest like that in the first place? Why did he refuse to share the results with the American public? Does that seem weird? Did he seem totally with it to you on Thursday? Should he take another cognitive test?

    Wouldn't it be nice to have an option where cognitive is not even an issue?

    JD Vance, others say Biden should resign presidency if he drops out of the race

    An increasing number of Democrats are calling on the president to drop out of the presidential race

    Published July 19, 2024 8:46pm EDT

    Newly minted Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance wrote in an X post Friday that if Democrats believe President Biden doesn’t have the mental acuity to continue to run for re-election, it would be difficult to argue he should remain president until next January.

    "If Joe Biden doesn't have the cognitive function to run for re-election, then he certainly doesn't have the cognitive function to remain as Commander-In-Chief," Vance posted. "How can any Dem pushing him to drop out of the presidential race, argue in good faith that he should stay on as POTUS?"

    Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., echoed that sentiment to reporters at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee Thursday. 

    "The question is, if he's not going to be their nominee because he's not up to it, how can he be our president for the next six months?" Rubio said, according to Politico. "If there's something wrong with you that doesn't allow you to run for president, how can you still be there as president? If they're going to remove him as nominee, they’ve got to remove him as president, and that's really bad for our country."

    Polling guru and FiveThirtyEight founder Nate Silver earlier this month wrote on X he also believes Biden should "transition the presidency to [Vice President Kamala] Harris within 30-60 days, but I’m there now. Something is clearly wrong here."

    Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash., has also called on Biden to step down. 

    "Americans deserve to feel their president is fit enough to do the job," she told KGW-TV. "The crisis of confidence in the president’s leadership needs to come to an end. The president should do what he knows is right for the country and put the national interest first."

    Increasing numbers of Democrats have called on Biden to exit the White House race after his disastrous debate performance late last month, fearing he would lose to Trump. 

    Historian Alexis Coe wrote in a Rolling Stone op-ed Friday that Biden should resign to "preserve his legacy."

    Presidential historian Allan Lichtman, who has accurately predicted nine of the last 10 elections, has also said that if Biden were to drop out of the race, handing over the presidency to Harris as she replaces him on the ticket would be the Democrats' best chance of keeping the White House in November. 

    Biden and his campaign have said the president is "in it to win it," although reports have said he is reconsidering that amid increasing calls to drop out.

    😂😂 That could have been said in 2019 about the dumbest president to occupy the WH! Remember his remedy for Covid it has something to do with a light and bleach!

    Democrats plot coup to 'save democracy,' but what happens if they fail?

    If top-down effort by party leaders and billionaires fails, Biden will owe the socialists big time

    Published July 20, 2024 9:06am EDT

    The Democrats seeking to remove President Joe Biden from the 2024 White House race promise that this is not a coup attempt by elites to thwart the will of their party’s primary voters, but boy, it sure looks like one.

    It would be one thing if Democratic leadership en masse decided that Biden was no longer fit to serve, and with a single voice, called upon him to step down. But that is not what is happening here. The truth is, they are just worried he is going to lose the election to Donald Trump.

    To avoid the metaphorical label "coup," there would have to be near unanimity and a clear and obvious emergency. This looks more like a factional battle for power. And that sounds like a coup.

    Biden has a right to be furious at his old boss, Barack Obama, and the sly, Machiavellian former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, as they stab him in the back with the help of Hollywood celebrities like George Clooney, and seemingly every major liberal news outlet.

    The president rightly insists that he has racked up 18 million votes and won every primary. Even though the people have spoken with a clarion voice, the elites are trying to take him down.

    Where is the lie? 

    The latest maneuver, if you are keeping track, is for major donors to withhold money not just from Biden’s campaign, but from down-ballot races too, should the old man in the White House refuse to step aside.

    Let’s think about what this really means: The powerful Democrats who seem to approve this move are all but admitting that left-wing billionaires can simply buy the Democratic nomination, the will of the people be damned. 

    Maybe I missed the memo, but I thought the Democrats were trying to save democracy from Donald Trump. Apparently, one must destroy democracy to save it. Quite a novel concept, indeed.

    On Friday, current Speaker Hakeem Jeffries threw Biden a lifeline, assuring that he supports the president. So Biden has the head of "The Squad," Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, and the Congressional Black Caucus. Those are powerful, coup-blocking chess pieces.

    By ridin' with Biden, these Democrats are taking the chance that he can still win. And while it may be a longshot, it is far from impossible. An overwhelming ground game in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin could still work, especially if states like Virginia turn out to be fools gold for the GOP.

    It’s worth thinking about what would happen then, if a successful Biden owed his entire second term, or as much of it as he can endure, to the most far-left and radical wing of his party. It is not much of a stretch to say that one of our two major parties could wind up flat-out socialist.

    The funny thing about coups is that when they fail they often leave the target more powerful than he was to begin with. Should Biden’s candidacy survive, he will be bathed in the light of defiant power.

    There is less than a month to go before Democrats virtually, but permanently, are due to nominate Biden ahead of their convention. If he can hang on until then, he is in like Flynn.

    It will take more than leaked conversations and a handful of moderate Democrat lawmakers calling on Biden to drop out for a new nominee to be anointed. Frankly, the insurrectionists's quiver is running on arrows.

    Democratic voters, for better or worse, have chosen Joe Biden, and this effort by top party officials and billionaire donors to replace their choice may be running out of steam.

    That is good news for Biden, and Republicans hope it is good news for Donald Trump. But if this election has shown us anything, it is that surprising twists and turns are to be expected. So buckle up, this thing is far from over.

    fuck the democrats. i'm out.

    Nooooooooo! (please?) 
    OK, I get it, bud.  I feel the same way much of the time.  So much bullshit, so little to hang on to.   But [cliche spoiler], there's always got to be hope looking ahead, because of the whole way politics cycle.  We're all crashing toward rock bottom, the whole fucking country.  But there are some really bright young people out there.  Stupid people don't last well.  Smart people find a way.  That's how it goes.  Crash and burn, and rise from the ashes.  I hope I live long enough to see it, but no matter.  It will come around again.
