Hey Lefties, can we talk about this yet?

As most know, those of us who aren't Biden sycophants, have noticed his decline. We have been talking about it for a while now. It's been brought up. But each time we talk about it, it's handwaved away by the left. In unison, usually with the same message. But it's not something you can ignore anymore. When you loose The View, you have lost your base.

After Biden's performance in Thursday night's debate against Donald Trump was universally derided by both sides of the political divide, the ladies of the morning talk show brought to the Hot Topics table an impassioned call for the 81-year-old to step down and let another Democrat take his place in facing off against Trump in November.

"Most of us are in mourning," Sunny Hostin said at the top of Friday morning's episode, and while Joy Behar — also 81 — pointed out that "Trump lied dozens of times in a nice, clear voice," the cohosts still pushed for Biden to give up his spot in the race after playing clips of the current president stumbling over his words and losing his train of thought during Thursday night's matchup.

Now we don't even have to talk about the laptop, it's contents, the fact that it points to an influence peddling operation at the cost of the American Nation, (which baffles me that the left won't talk about that part even though they live in the same country) we can just focus on the cognitive decline aspect. The jail stuff can wait for after the election since Biden was nice enough to set precedent on that front. So at what point would ya'll like to talk about your plans going forward? Gavin Newsome? Hillary? Mikey Obama? What does your bench look like? Who do you call up from the minors in this case? What's your plan?

They can't replace him unless he dies or they use the 25th Amendment.

Biden can’t be replaced in some states.

Wisconsin does not allow withdrawal from the ballot for any reason besides death.

Nevada, no changes can be made to the ballot after 5 p.m. on the fourth Friday in June of an election year. This means they had until 5 PM yesterday to pull Biden out.

If Biden were to withdraw less than 60 days before the election in Georgia, his name will remain on the ballot but no votes will be counted.

And the WSJ pointed out that the only way Biden's campaign funds can be transferred to another candidate is if that candidate is Kamala Harris.

Wow, that's problematic. I wonder if they thought about all this while they were telling us how vibrant and energetic Joey was?

What's your plan?

The deep state looks happy with a commander asleep at the wheel, means they can do what ever they want. To keep this trend going, Lock up Trump, shut down infowars and keep the political persecutions going while turning the public gaslighting up to 10. Give it a week and many people will forget what a disaster the debate was as the next news items of the day is trending. This is how a dictatorship works.

If the Democratic party is to actually save democracy, then someone like RFK Jr or Gabbard will have a better chance in an honest election. They don't appear to be as deep in the swamp as others like Hillary or Newsome. Will it fracture the Democratic party as the election pressure builds?

I'm not sure you'll get answers from the Left.

After carrying the water for him for years, they saw him fall apart on live TV. No editing or camera tricks, just an old man who can't keep a straight thought in his head. There's nothing left but to admit they were wrong or, more likely, not say anything at all.

Anyone they try to throw in will look like a desperation move and that's exactly what it is. They were counting on Biden making it to the election and then getting Kamala in the big chair. She'd be very easy to manipulate, so they could do pretty well what they wanted.

That is no longer an option.

Sharpest guy in the room, I heard. Multiple times. From different people. And that one must be a dumb, delusional, deplorable MAGA $#head to think or say otherwise.

Member, Degradation, posted some really good links in the "Live Streaming" thread for all the permutations of what can (and can't) be done, who can pick whom, and what the ramifications are for each scenario. It's pretty bleak for the democrats. 'Hidin' Biden really put them all in a serious bind. I say "Hidin'" because that's really what Biden has done his entire presidency, he's hidden from the people. So, "the people" haven't really been able to see and gauge his flaws and decline. Biden has relied on the left's propaganda machine and his spokespeople to send his message and maintain his image.

I've heard many stories now, 3 days after the debate, about how Biden showed up at some rally on Friday and was a 'completely changed Biden', 'not like the same person', (ad nauseum). Regardless whether this is true or not (I tend not to watch Biden campaign (lies) rallies, or any rallies for that matter), the fact remains, at least one of the Jekyll/Hyde personalities of Biden showed up at the debate on Thursday night. The fact this version of Biden exists at all, in any way, shape or form is inexcusable and not something which can be casually overlooked.

In my mind, it has become crystal clear that Biden is controlled not by Biden himself, but rather by 'image shapers' and 'handlers' for whom Biden is just a puppet. Biden isn't president, they are. Biden is merely the messenger, but not an innocent one. Unlike the messenger of Roman times, Biden has a a very real hand in the whole twisted charade. Thursday night uncloaked all of this. Now, you may wonder how his performance on Thursday accomplished this uncloaking(?). Thursday night demonstrated Biden is actually the puppet master, else he wouldn't have shown up on Thursday night.

You see, nobody in their right mind would have allowed Biden on that debate stage Thursday night knowing he was going to face-plant like he did. Only Biden could have done that. So, what we have is a sort of symbiotic, or perhaps parasitic, relationship between a host who wants to be King, and some evil doers who feed off of his power and his title. As long as he can accomplish what feeds his ego and his agenda, he will allow the parasites who feed off of him to live and accomplish theirs. And, as long as their agenda doesn't conflict with his...the presidency goes onward. The long running television series Star Trek had it right; what we have, what America has, as its leader is...The Borg. A collective. A collective which will assimilate all opponents.

But the 'Borg' has, at the same time, developed a cancer, and that cancer is the host himself, Biden. "The Biden" is failing, it is dying. But it doesn't want to admit it is dying, because it lusts for the power. So it shows up on debate stages, like on Wednesday night, against all wishes. Because its power threatens all who challenge its ego.

That's what we saw on Thursday night. The Borg. And, The Borg, Biden in this case, has left the democrats, and the democratic party as a whole few if any choices to eliminate "it", to exterminate "it".

Wait, what happened to 70% of pollee democrats wanting Socialism...?

With out sleepy Joe no one will be capable of leading the change ....

80million dems are going to be heart broken...

Any one else ever wonder why there's no democrats on Mount Rushmore?

Me neither.

I see them invoking the 25th.

Even his most rabid defenders saw what happened and they can't hide it anymore. The MSM has turned on him and many of his party are saying he should bow out. If they can't replace him on the ballot, they'll find a way to get him out of office and run their back up. God knows who they'll try to throw in because there's really no viable choice.

Newsom is a disaster.
Kamala is less popular than Joe.
Hochul is as bad as Newsom.
Hillary is...well...Hillary and her own party doesn't really like her.
Michelle has flatly refused to get involved.

They overplayed their hand and now it's completely FUBAR.

You forgot Michigan's Whitmer; she's even more evil and less popular than Newsom, but her ego (and her ass) is way bigger.

RFK Jr. needs to be considered by the American people if the Democratic party doesnt put forward a better option.

HA! Look who's talkin'! The left eclipses any 'echo chamber' the right could ever even hope to aspire to in 1,000 years! The problem with the left is, their echo isn't "Biden...Biden...Biden", it's "Orange Bad!...Orange Bad!...Orange Bad!".

At this point, if I was going to echo anything it would be "Anyone but Democrats!...Anyone but Democrats!...Anyone but Democrats!". I couldn't care less about Trump. No echos for Trump in this house. But Trump is light years better than any of the democrats, just LIGHT YEARS better.

Hell, even RFK is better than the democrats, but not much. He's certainly a better option than Newsom or Whitmer, that's for sure...but not much.

Taking everything you just pointed out into account . They are screwed any way you look at it .

It is possible for them to pull a Younger Democrat Candidate into the spotlight and make a Run for November. Barack Obama came out of no where in 2008 and tied things up in a nice little bow. But even if they do it's a no win scenario .

They have waited to long and Joe is only going to get worse and there are more debates on the Horizon . I see two scenarios .

One they dismiss the 2024 election all together and just look to 2028 . Two They concentrate all of there efforts on taking Trump out one way or another.

I saw some of that curated 'changed Biden' footage, and yes, he was more cogent vs the debate stage, however, he was doing his tough guy shtick, and not having to think on his feet.

He can appear fearsome at will, after all it has been his default setting when confronted for the entirety of his career. I think it's because he fancies himself a "tough guy", and has a massively overblown ego as you pointed out. He can't ever win with reason and logic and smarts, so he bristles and challenges his opponent to a battle of strength or wits, but never actually follows through. Because he's also a big phony.

It's ingrained in his personality. It's who he is. His offspring and even pets show us exactly what kind of guy he is, behind closed doors, let alone all of the "malarkey" that's out in the open now.

I say NO president for 2024, America just needs to be single for awhile and figure some stuff out.

a reply to: Flyingclaydisk

I'm suspicious as hell on what's actually going on.

They knew Joe can't keep it together and have for some time. Now, very suddenly, his own party and the MSM turned on him. That doesn't happen overnight. They've seen Joe stumble and mumble for years and people have pointed out his incompetence and Now they have a change of heart ? They've got a plan and I don't think we're gonna like it.

Also very true. Ego maniac cum crook cum political bully cum power broker cum Borg.

True.

I have a favorite scene in a movie. It's the movie "Shooter", and the scene is where Wahlberg's character, Swagger, goes into the cabin after Ned Beatty's character, Senator Meachum. Meachum says..."Have you lost your f***ing mind? I..am..a..United States..Senator!!! I love that scene for several reasons, and the biggest one is the sudden realization by Meachum that his power and 'stroke' means nothing in that moment, yet he still tries to use it as a shield. All that bravado and bullsh!t means absolutely nothing in that moment. My only regret is...I wish that scene would have lasted longer! "Yep!" (BANG!)

THAT was 'justice'!!

I say NO president for 2024, America just needs to be single for awhile and figure some stuff out.

LOL! What a concept, right? Just take the 'pot' off the stove for a while and let things calm down. LOL! Obviously something like that would never work or happen, but it sure is fun to contemplate.

Here's an interesting piece on why the DNC may not replace Biden.

a reply to: watchitburn

Yep!

Like I said earlier..."The Borg"!!! The Borg is "They". The Borg has always been "They"

edit - The campaign money alone is a huge one. Biden can't just give it away, and even if he could, who would he give it to? If he gave it to one, he would trash all the votes from supporters of the other. If he gave it to all (equally divided), he would anger any voter who didn't support any one of those recipients. Nobody else has that kind of campaign money, not even close. It's a no-win.

"The Biden", "The Borg", has turned on its own.

There are SO many examples of irony in all of this they are almost impossible to list them all. The democratic party's socialist dream has come back to bite them (all) before it even got started! The 'collective' almost instantly reveals itself as a power hungry dictatorship so thoroughly corrupted by greed and power it eats its own at the first opportunity!
