Well guys, it has come to pass as anticipated. Joe Biden has announced his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential campaign.
Within his announcement letter, Biden says, “I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President.”
Don’t get too caught up on the details, remember this was always going to happen. None of us should be surprised.
Biden was always a one-term disposable President, and that was confirmed as soon as his Obama handler, Susan Rice, left the White House in 2023.
Within moments of his announcement to withdraw, Biden then endorsed Kamala Harris.
[SOURCE]
The Kamala endorsement comes through a multi-angled prism. You can make the argument Biden is attacking back against Obama and Pelosi for undermining him.
Kamala was NOT Obama/Pelosi’s chosen ’24 candidate, but the political landscape is totally different after the failed assassination of President Trump.
There’s an argument to be made that Democrats see the 2024 election as too formidable now, Trump looks too strong, etc. And from that perspective any Democrat thrown into the race is being thrown into a losing situation. Perhaps Obama/Pelosi are cool with Kamala taking the loss, now.
The thing to watch is whether she picks Newsom as her running mate, and if Newsom agrees. If yes, then the bet is they can defeat Trump. If no, then the needle points in the other direction.
This part is the sketchy part, it’s the part that I was the least certain about when I said in 2022 that Biden was going to resign – no doubt.
Keep watching the background players for their reaction and positioning.
In the interim comrades, tonight we dance like Cossacks!
….Our prayers were answered!
I am reminded that kaMALA was a prostitute for Willie Brown who gave her two California commission salaries to take her through Law Shool and gave her Mercedes Benz for good performance.
kaMALA is childless and cackles like a witch.
LOL, these memes are gonna be so much fun! 🤣🤣🤣
I would like to always try to take the high road, but I couldn’t. I had too laugh, it’s so funny.
Gavin Gimmysum has the evil look of a carnival barker who steals pennies and nickles from little children…and threatens to smother them with this goose-down pillow if they tattle on him. The Gavin-man of horror. He’s just that kinda guy…
Biden doesn’t even give a reason for dropping out, just says that he is. Still to be decided?
Pretty bold to tell the nation I can’t run because my brain is mush,but I’ll still run the country for a few months!
Waiting sign those pardons..
There are so many in the family who are corrupted, my brother…and obscenely rich on the backs of that corruption. It will take the rest of his time in office to sign them all.
On X there was discussion of Biden resigning or being 25th A which would put Kamala in, give her incumbent status and allow a VP pick. In this scenario I could see some massive event (ME full scale war etc) that gives power to incumbent in effort to bring the election back to within cheating range.
Be careful calling this an answered prayer. It may be in God’s will (of course it is) but that doesn’t mean things are going to get better.
I’ll believe the coronation of Kamala Harris when I see it. She brings NOTHING to the table, and the black community isn’t warm to her. As a retail politician, she’s worse than Hillary. And that’s saying something. They CAN win this election, between their ballot harvesting machinery and the coming revelations about Trump. But they can’t leave to chance a weak candidate. And Kamala is a weak candidate.
” the coming revelations about Trump.”
???
Real or claimed?
As Sundance posited in an earlier thread, the Dem candidate needs to be someone that could plausibly be pushed as a winner with the cheating we all know is coming.
Kamalala is not that person in my view. She’s stays in the shadows as much as she dares. And when she does surface, she makes a complete imbecilic ass out of herself, apparent to all except slobbering feminists and abortion worshippers. I just don’t see it.
I’m fancying that somehow she’ll be elbowed out of the way for Newsom, In spite of the howls of outrage. Don’t know how they will manage it.
But I’m sure Auntie Nancy, desperate to remain politically relevant and as power mad as ever, can arrange things.
My bet is on…
That’s why Pelosi wants an open convention, to push Gavvy through the door. Every dem potential is worse than the next.
Yes. Said as much below, Mims. I really believe that is what they’re planning.
I do not believe anyone here is saying “things will get better.” We all know that the fight will be intense and the struggles will be tough but God has equipped us to be warriors in the spirit and to be fighters with our voices. We are to make a loud noise, and not be complacent. The Lord did not call us to be doormats but calls us to action with our eyes and hearts focused on Jesus at all times. I hope you will read the full chapter of Psalm 109, the book that Sundance mentioned at the end of his post. This was cry from David, a man after God’s own heart! I was encouraged by it.
If I may add this deeply heartfelt prayer 🙏🏻
What coming revelations? If you know please do tell.
Others have pointed it out: how does he decline to run based, we all know, on his decline, yet retain the Presidency until next January?
Do you really think his cabinet and Congress are going to invoke the 25th and admit to the world that ‘they’ knew he was incapacitated and thereby admit their own culpability in allowing him to stay President this long?
And Biden did not admit he was dropping out due to his decline. He just said “for the good of the country and his party.”
If he admitted it was due to his decline, they would be forced to invoke the 25th.
Your reason is a good one.
My reason for raising the matter (suggested by others) is that in the larger panorama of current politics it’s a very hard sell regardless of whether he admits it or not. He could simply resign with some fabricated rationale. It points at the Party itself as perpetuating a fraud it foisted on the American people from the git go all the way up to Nov 4.
Were I Repub leadership I’ld exploit this every day. Shine the light in a very clear way on the conspiracy.
TPTB used the 25th as leverage. “Joe, if you agree to drop out now, we will let you stay until January and have a hero’s exit. Otherwise we will 25th Amendment you.” Staying in office also gives Joe time to pardon Hunter.
It’s not like Joe is running the country anyway.
I must confess, ya got me with your concluding thought!
I was thinking the trade-off here was Biden fighting for his family’s
welfarewealth/immunity vice the Party’s burning need to clear the decks as soon as possible. That’s what the deal-making in the background was likely all about.Pennsylvania selected a literal vegetable for the Senate. Democrats aren’t embarrassed by details.
Worse than Caligula’s horse
As Norman Lamont, once Chancellor of the Exchequer in Britain who had had to resign following the UK’s unceremonious ejection from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (the precursor to the EU) and in comments about the the then Conservative Party under the inauspicious PM, a weak and ineffective John Major who was part of the British Brigade which overthrew Margaret Thatcher while she was away in France…
“We give the impression of being in office but not in power.”
Biden has never been “in power”.
He may still be ” in office”; but he is now officially a place holder for the next Communist iteration of a despotic Obama and the party which has brought our nation to its knees. They’ll stick him in a back room with lots of ice cream to keep him happy. He is a necessary living (sort of) body but a complete irrelevance now.
We will need all the mercies which Almighty God might be willing to grant us.
You & Enoch Powell on the money dear Bet.
Exactly so, Colkitto. Political and partisan prejudices…
And something which was not employed in Enoch Powell’s day…
Political polling.
Fingers in the wind all around.
Hello friend! 3 wise voices, Bets, Powell and yourself.
Oh my, sis….how kind you are. Bless you 😌🌷
I surrender! Nice historical reference.
That’s the real-politic part of it. See my response to BK. I still believe in that, but my thinking missed the deeper point – status quo ante has different meaning to different people and mine was just, errrr, Trumped.
I agree with you in that the Republicans need to hammer and hammer hard. They need to post videos 24/7 of this cackling no brains horror using her favourite phrase …”blah, blah, blah, unburdened by what has been.”
Complete with theatrical hand gestures.
Other footage of her should wake up those who haven’t paid any attention. Plus, of course, all those delicious facts about how she has climbed the greasy political pole…so to speak….and those who she has used and abused in her capacity as California AG to further her career. I’ve had enough of her sleazy, amoral self.
But I do wonder why exactly Biden is still “in office”.
Why not usher him off the stage and install Kamalala…to give her just a bit of legitimacy as president before the election.
That is, if the donors and Dems intend for her to take the nomination. I’m reading her zoom call with donors was an absolute disaster.
Or are they leaving the door open to install their own candidate?
You know who.
We will see.
Machavellian politics at its very best.
Plastering pictures of her with Epstein won’t hurt either…they are out there.
Ugh, I lived in England, very near Huntingdon when that fop Major was (s)elected. Lived down the road as he was MP there.
Prayer is our greatest strength in these wicked times.
Prayer, yes, Mims…and plenty of this.
Tres vrai!
Kamala Harris, unburdened by what has been, now free to run for president
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/kamala-harris-joe-biden-2024-election-b2582832.html
Unburdened? In her own mind, perhaps. But we can load her up with her trainload of baggage again.
Her pick for VP will be Mayor pete.
That guy was getting lots of play on saturday on twitter…too much play with his interview with Mahr
Im thinkimg Gretchen Whitmer.
That ticket would go down in spectacular failure. If the Democrat hierarchy sees the presidency is lost this year that pairing would make sense for them.
They would put two people on the presidential ticket who will have no future in presidential politics after November 5, and neither Harris or Buttigieg would ever run for national office again.
The Democrats could then turn around after the loss and play identity politics as only they can do. They’ll say the results proves the MAGA movement is filled with people who hate blacks, women and members of the LGBT community.
That would signal four more years of incompetent deviant hires.
Kamala and Rice, two black women from the hood. But not the ghetto hood.
HILLARY CLINTON.
Newsom/ Harris or Harris/Newsom?
Unless the Dems have the 12th worked out, or are planning on ignoring it, I believe that ticket would be a challenge. Perhaps others can expand on the particulars and strategies to get around them.
My original posit was Rice/Newsom but that doesn’t appear to be on the table. I could also see traction for Whitmer given Michigan’s apparent key role in the upcoming election.
For myself it’s interesting entertainment but the real challenges are local, keeping the Communist infiltrators at bay and monitoring the existing one’s activities and engaging as appropriate. It’s gonna be a long war I fear.
Will RFK, Jr split the Dem ticket?
Interwebs talking about Sherrod Brown for VP. He’s senator of Ohio
He’s running for re-election this year. His being on the ticket would probably lose a Dem Senate seat when Ohio Dems had to scramble to replace him on the ballot.
Can he run for Sebate and VP at the same time in OH?
That would allow Republican Governor DeWine to appoint a replacement (assuming it works that way in Ohio). Ultimately, Congress is a numbers game to control committees; not sure the Democrats want to give one up in the Senate. Especially if Harris is just the sacrificial lamb to lose to Trump.
If he can’t run for President he can’t act as president. Make him resign.
Lol, win some, lose some.
If he releases his delegates, that’s the open convention Pelosi wants, most likely because Harris is so stupid.
The Dim delegate Robot Rule no longer exists. They can vote for whoever they like. He doesn’t need to “release his delegates.” Even leftist sites don’t seem to know this. *** emphasis is mine.
Act of Desperation? Biden’s Team Checks Delegates for ***Loyalty***
10 Jul 2024
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/act-of-desperation-biden-s-team-checks-delegates-for-loyalty/ar-BB1pLgRH
***Fearing a floor revolt against his nomination***, President Biden’s aides are telephoning individual delegates to next month’s Democratic convention to gauge their loyalty to the president, according to three delegates who received a call this week.
SO, that’s why I ask:
Harris/Newsom OR Newsom/Harris?
The question is: did he “release” them or are they now committed to backing Kamala, since he endorsed her and they are ‘his’ delegates?
Should make for some interesting antics at the DNC convention though.
And all ENABLED by stupidly allowing Trump to participate in the PLANNED “great reveal” to the Dim rank and file of Biden’s actual condition in an unusually early, pre-Dim-convention debate.
They didn’t fall for it the second time:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GSt-GbKXoAA2x6v?format=jpg&name=medium
This is actually a pretty good statement and show of strength.
It’s utter bullocks (the reality is that they did not have an actual primary, just a coronation) – but it’s worth stating in order to cause some blue turmoil. Many will ignore it as they are singularly focused on stopping Trumpzilla.
Mr Speaker, if Joe is unable to run the race, he is unable to run the Country.
Whatcha gonna do?
My thoughts as well!
Haha, “Harris has been a gleeful accomplice …”
Nice way to describe her insane cackling.
Does one say coochie coup?
Michelle “ Big Mike “ as her vice president?
no way anyone of prominence will sign on to a Harris-led ticket.
Or Fauxcahontas!
I think Michelle O. prefers the celebrity lifestyle with houses in Martha’s Vineyard and Hawaii. She isn’t going to give that up.
I will be giving a press conference today at 5 p.m. ET at the Kennedy Compound, Hyannis Port, Massachusetts.
Bootlegger’s paradise. 👍
Since things are shaping up to be ’68 all over again, perhaps Jr. better keep his head down.
Will he split the Dems?
I could see 4 scenarios – no percentages, just possibilities regardless of likelihood.
Harris/kennedy??? Didn’t he say he was willing to be considered for the Dem presidential candidate ?
They are just running the clock regarding 28. after trump, that’s that. The reps don’t get his coalition. Now, the dems in 28, FULL FORCE. CLYBURN!
Don’t mind me, Sundance, I’m over here in the corner eating my plate of crow…I thought for sure Joey-Bag-O-Donuts was staying in.
IF open convention, Dems drop Harris like a ton of bricks.
Same as the Bernie. She gets a consolation prize (Bernie got 2 more houses) & she goes away.
Will hers be knee pads and throat lozenges? (IKBVBCR)
The real star of that photo is the WH Rose Garden.
Remember the total Democrat TDS garbage they dumped on Melania Trump for guiding that project and bringing it back to Jackie Kennedy’s original intent? It was vile and relentless.
Yet look at the results those very same efforts that these two laughing grifters exploit the scene Melania Trump helped re-create. The gorgeous Melania Trump Rose Garden symbolizes happy days will be here again, and indeed it is morning in America again.
Not quite.
Our Leaderless Nation is still in jeopardy.
Joe is still in office.
Kamala is unfit as well.
I expect a whole new ticket at the convention.
If we survive that long.
But, Joe must go.
Popcorn is overflowing
So is CornPop!
Sundance you sure nailed this one.
I think today’s events were influenced in part because the American public, after being gaslighted for years, finally saw news unfiltered by MSM editing and a narrative.
We saw the debate live, and it was clear what bad shape Biden was in after so many lies about his health and cognitive ability.
We saw the assassination attempt live, and witnessed a bloodied Trump get up and raise a fist in defiance of the Angel of Death.
We saw Trump’s live convention speech, in which Trump spoke humbly and honestly about how difficult the past few days had been, how grateful he was to be alive, and how he wanted the country to start coming together. A lot of people may have not stayed through the full 90 minute speech, but the opening part was surely enough to alter the Bad-Orange-Man -Is-Another-Hitler idea of Trump.
This morning Clyburn said they could not have a contested convention (it always ends in a loss) and Joe was the candidate until/unless he stepped down. A few hours later voila. The rumor was he was not going to endorse Kamala but The Hill and others have been leaking Whitmore, Newsome and Shapiro were not interested. Kamala on the campaign trail is going to be hilarious. But never take anything for granted, after all they claim Joe w/Kamala got 81 million votes.
I believe it is the best interests of my part and the country …
Always party before country with the Uniparty.
The ONLY thing they care about is retaining power. They don’t give a damn about the country or the people.
Sleeping your way to the top is now called trailblazing:
https://www.breitbart.com/news/kamala-harris-trailblazer-eying-americas-last-glass-ceiling/
Yep and the great granddaughter of African slave traders is supposed to excite black folks!
So is Kamala a natural born citizen according to the US Constituiton?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-born-citizen_clause_(United_States)#Interpretations_of_the_clause
https://www.womenshistory.org/education-resources/biographies/kamala-harris
She is not. Nor was Obama.
No.
But, unfortunately, that doesn’t make any difference anymore
With the added complication that she moved to Canada with her mother and sister for several years in her teens.
Did they become Canadian citizens?
Our prayers were answered as far as biden is concerned, however, now it’s kamala. If she wins, pray to the good Lord she doesn’t, we’re really in for the destruction of the republic. There will be some retirements of conservative members of the USSC in the next 4 or so years. We will get more jackson browns, kagans and sotomayors. Don’t for a minute think she can’t win with the combination of ignorant, stupid morons voting along with the “cheat”. We can only pray and hope she loses. I shudder to think of what will happen to our nation if she were to win.
It is essential now that the Trump campaign stress that whomever is installed as Biden’s replacement on the ticket will be running to continue imposing every one of the Biden Administration’s communist policies — that the arrival of a less-impaired candidate doesn’t mean that you’re going to pay 1 cent less at the supermarket, or that any fewer illegal aliens will be streaming across our borders.
Joe Biden’s successor must run on Joe Biden’s record, or tell us how their administration will be any different.
No matter what anyone says, even Biden himself, I bet deep down inside he’s relieved to see the end of all this. He can just cruise to retirement now. His puppet masters may not even make him do any more public speaking. I don’t like him and I think he’s got a hell of an ugly history, but I wouldn’t wish all this stuff on anyone with dementia. Maybe they’ve tortured him enough behind the scenes to pay for the sins of the past. Maybe it’s okay to go on and retire, relax, and peacefully fade away altogether.
I think Biden through a hand grenade inro the Obama machinery by nominating Kammy. This stinks up the open ptimary ploy that was to used to install a preferred candidate.
Myself and others here said they will go with Kammy knowung shes going to lose that way they get rid of both awful candidates (even though Obama and Clyburn chose Kamny as heir to their kingdom…but it didnt work out) . In 2028 they start fresh.
Unlike SD I dont see Newsom as a threat. Hes a terruble speaker and CA is a hellscape of homelessness, drugs, squalor, deficits, gender ideolgy and taxatiom. Newsom is tge Trudeau of the US snd the WEFs boy.
Whwre I do agree with SD is tge assasination atrempt changed tge trajectory, humanized Trump and threw the Obama cabal plans into chaos.
Now we know exactly why President Trump picked JD Vance for VP!
He knew that Newsom might be in the game either way. Vance neuters Newsom on several fronts.
THROWBACK: Tulsi Gabbard ENDS Kamala Harris’ Bid for President in 4 Minutes Flat
Great piece.
The last thing Gabbert did was talk about the Bush/Cheny/Trump war machine..
Trump was not a part of that.
Perhaps a slip.
But I have considered her seriously as a VP.
Vance appears to be a solid as a rock though.
I believe Trump is now very much aware of the dangers of selecting personal advisors and position recommendations based upon the advice of those within the system.
Harris made a good reminder that I brought up recently, Gabbard was the only Democrat to reach across the aisle and meet with PDJT. I know Bluedog Senator Jim Webb would certainly have if he had not been forced out/retired.
Webb had said that the Democrat party is controlled by special interest groups and no longer represents the White Working class/working class in general. His points about the illegal Affirmative Action on the stage during the 2016 DNC Primaries caused millions of jaws to drop and cheers from me watching!
So Biden is too weak and incompetent to run for reelection, but also perfectly strong and competent enough to stay on as President until next year?
We’re used to nothing our rulers say or do making any sense, but even so this is ridiculous.
It’s criminal and a national security threat.
Just watch who the master race baiter Clyburn sells on the ticket. He’s not about to throw his massive AME ballot fraud network totally behind a all white Dim ticket. If it’s not the Cackling Ho with Newscum as the VP (same state?) Then whoever is on the ticket with Newscum will be black. Probably Susan Rice.
I thought two candidates from the same state couldn’t run on the same ticket.
They can, but the CA electors would only be able to vote for one of them in that situation.
The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves.

Recent example, in 2000 Cheney switched his residence from Texas to Wyoming. If he hadn’t done that, either Bush or Cheney would have lost the TX electoral votes. That could have produced Bush-Lieberman or Gore-Cheney.
So the Democrats have completed a successful insurrection. Convincing Jill Biden to step down. The only question is how big is the check.
Trump PAC releases Kamala ad…
OK ad….
However, I would end every ad from here til election day with an extended play of Kamala’s inappropriate cackle of a laugh. It is like fingernails scraping down the chalkboard.
Just sayin’….
That, the border invasion, and her constant unburdening by what has gone before should wipe her out in any sane world.
They knew Joe wouldn’t make it and likely had ads ready to go for all the top potential choices.
Democrats are so F*** 4 years of Trump 8 years of Vance. That’s what you get for stealing an election.. Trump said we have to show the people how corrupt Democrats truly are*** border invasion Wars Inflation energy and food cost… People have to see they must be awaken…
What a difference a
daymonth makes ♪♫♬……24 littlehoursdays……♪♫♬So,…where’s all the enthusiasm for Joe that we were seeing a month ago? What, specifically, changed in that short amount of time? We all know the answers to those questions. The bigger question is when, if ever, will the people in control of the democrat party by honest with their electorate? Are democrat voters really this blind, and gullible, so as not to see what’s been happening withing their party and with their president for the last four years?
So they would be giving up California’s electoral votes if she picks Newsome, per the Constitution.
One of them can change residency.
Scenario,
Come Monday, Clarence Thomas is no more, died suddenly it will be called. Tuesday Heels Up referred to the Senate for replacement. By Thursday the Democrat ticket has Gruesome Newsom and the Wooki aka Big Mike as the ticket and they will cage fight for the top spot. Big Mike in the first round.
Also, just after Heels up is appointed to USSS, Biden chooses Butt Gage to be VP and promptly is allowed to be killed by an assassin so that his name can be removed from the Wisconsin ballot.
Oh and Gruesome and The Wooki win by 90 million ballots
The fix is in. Expect 90 million votes for Harris/ Newsom. We are not getting out of this mess by voting. The fascist regime has restored to violence and murder and will do so again.
90 is just a number (get 90+1) and if it’s Harris, even that won’t be reachable.
Just get ready…
The Meme Lords are installing larger hard drives right now. Hair Gel won’t make any difference.

It seems unlikely Harris will be picked at the convention. If the people who carried out this coup wanted her to be President they could have made Biden resign immediately. That way she would be campaigning as the incumbent President.
