After a few weeks of media hit pieces, donor pressure and calls by party leaders, Joe Biden did what Donald J Trump refused to do in 2016 or 2024, and announced that he was dropping out of the campaign to focus on “fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.”
Democrats and their media had spent months making the case that Biden was unfit to be a presidential candidate on account of his mental state. Members of Congress, celebrities and party insiders described him as being unable to function in even the most basic ways.
Now they will argue that a man in that condition is unfit to campaign, but fit to run the country.
By pressuring Biden to resign from the campaign, but not the presidency, Democrats have officially put ‘party ahead of country’. They have made it clear that they have no problem with an unfit president, only an unfit candidate, and even then only when that candidate’s unfitness becomes public knowledge and puts them at risk of losing a presidential election.
Rep. Seth Moulton recently claimed that Biden didn’t recognize him at a D-Day event and called on him to resign. At the NATO summit, the head of the Eurasia Group described a world leader saying that Biden was “repeating the same anecdote twice in an individual meeting” and another case where Biden was “not recognizing someone that he knew quite well.”
Media reports indicated that Biden could not function well after 4 PM and that he needed to be in bed by 8 PM leaving him unable to attend events with world leaders. Watergate’s Carl Bernstein said that sources had described over a dozen incidents similar to the one at the debate. The media confirmed stories previously reported in the conservative press of Obama and Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni having to lead Biden where he needed to go.
How under those circumstances is it possible for Biden to remain in his current position?
Democrats and their media want to have it both ways. They want to argue that Biden is mentally unfit for the strenuous task of making appearances at local diners and ice cream parlors, for speaking at campaign rallies and appearing in a debate, but entirely fit to control the nation’s nuclear weapons, along with the rest of its military, guide its economy, shape trillions in spending, and make the vital decisions that affect the lives of every single American.
And that is completely untenable.
Running the nation (and the free world) is a much more challenging task than running for office. It also comes with far graver responsibilities. Democrats seem entirely unconcerned with the prospect that a senile president might make a mistake that could kill millions, but rang every alarm bell out of fear that he might lose them not only the White House, but Congress.
Patriotism is removing an unfit president, partisanship is removing an unfit candidate.
The Democrat cover-up of Biden’s condition followed by the frantic drive to oust him from the presidential campaign while leaving him in office shows that they are partisans and not patriots.
Obama, Schumer, Pelosi and other top Democrats all pressured Biden to leave the campaign, they did not however call on him to leave office. Not a single national Democrat official appears to have taken the simple step of asking Biden to step down from his campaign and his office.
And it is entirely plausible that they used the former as leverage for the latter, allowing him to remain in office in order to convince him to drop out of the campaign. Had Joe Biden continued to stonewall his party, cabinet members could have ousted him using the 25th amendment. Biden was aware of this and avoiding that humiliation likely played a role in his resignation.
But if Biden is indeed unfit for office, then the 25th amendment is more urgent than ever.
Either Joe Biden is fit to hold office or he’s not. Democrats cannot have it both ways. And House Republicans, who pledged to investigate his medical condition and force his doctors to testify, may expose the real truth about his state and his fitness to hold office. Democrats solved their political crisis by ousting Biden, but the nation now faces a crisis of governance.
And it must be urgently addressed.
World leaders and enemy nations believe that there is no one in the Oval Office. There is now convincing evidence that Biden’s staffers and family members, including his wife Jill, his son Hunter, who has been linked to foreign governments and criminal behavior, rather than the man himself, are making decisions that should by rights only be made by the President. And they will be free to make those decisions as part of a lame duck presidency without having any personal or political accountability for the havoc and corruption that they may be empowered to wreak.
Biden’s mental state is not just a problem for his party, but for the country. It’s a national security issue and a corruption issue and above all else a constitutional issue that must be resolved.
America is not a monarchy. Presidents are personally empowered to serve as representatives of the people. Democrats have subverted what they call ‘democracy’ by ousting their own nominee who received 14 million votes but who were ultimately outvoted by donors with $1.4 billion. But this does not buy them the right to maintain an official whom they already admitted is unfit.
Not Republicans, but Democrats have not only admitted, but loudly shouted over the last few weeks that President Joe Biden is incapable of performing the duties of his office.
So why is he still being allowed to go on performing them?
America cannot be governed by a man whose capacities are failing him. And he cannot be allowed to remain in power as part of a dirty deal that saves a party at the expense of the nation. Democrats made the case that Biden is unfit. Now they must finish the job.
If they do not, House Republicans should move to begin impeachment proceedings.
Democrats and their media have admitted that Biden is unfit for office. They admitted that he and his family members have participated in a cover-up about his true condition. This is an impeachable offense. Impeachment proceedings will clarify Biden’s true condition, the role of family members and staffers in covering it up and will force the same House Democrats who have clamored in the past few days that Biden is not fit to vote to remove him from office.
Or not.
Democrats claim that Kamala is ready to take over. Then let her. They claim that Biden is unfit to deal with the strenuous business of public life. Then let him step down. But there cannot be an unfit candidate and a fit president. For once, Democrats must put country ahead of party.
Kamala was not fit to remove Biden. That makes her unfit to replace him.
The cheap slut wasn’t fit to be dog catcher, let alone Senator.
Doubt if the DNC hierarchy can shake the dumbbitch loose, as their stuck with their DEI pick, so there just might be a Democrat candidate that slept her way to the top.
Selling out & “failing up” is a liberal thing. (Being a scorned bitch is a Romney/Christie thing.)
Ordinarily if an old white man with nine toes in the grave could be replaced by a “woman of color” (what color is speculative, as with Elizabeth Warren) Democrats would do so in a hot minute. It is telling that no one in the Democratic Party is clamoring to invoke the 25th Amendment, against Biden.
THE DEBATE is now proven that it was a set-up! Who was surprised that the talking heads immediately threw FJB under the bus? Flipping Channels and all of them were saying it was a disaster??? THE MSM GOT THEIR TWEETS WITH ALL THE TALKING POINTS REQUIRED TO BE USED!
FJB WILL ATTACK ALL THOSE THAT STABBED HIM IN THE BACK!
Kamala: “Today was tomorrow yesterday and today was yesterday tomorrow.” (Don’t try to figure it out!) THIS WOMAN IS THE DUMBER IN DUMB AND DUMBER!
Kamala was not fit to remove Biden?
That makes her a perfect replacement, and she’s young
And black as a mamba,
And crawls on her belly like a reptile. ~
How does the daughter of an Indian mother and a white Jamaican father qualify as “black”? Is it because her father’s family owned black people? I don’t get it.
Democrats put country over party?The party is all. The country is nothing.. Why else would they be subsidizing an invasion of this country, but for the party? But you already know this, Daniel.
We all know it – especially our foreign enemies.
Unfortunately, Xi has his inside man for 6 more months. (He’ll be sure to milk the old fool for every drop he can squeeze out.)
Both should stepdown and let Mike Johnson take over.
They won’t because Nazi clowns and whores never do.
It has been said she is not even eligible to be President, due to her parents not being citizens when she was born. Why is this not pushed by our Republican leaders?
Whoever the Dem candidate is, Republicans need to keep asking them why Joe Biden is still in office and why they lied and covered up for him for years?
Robert Hur, in February, concluded that Biden was unable to stand trial because he was mentally incompetent! Yet the Democratic primaries continued. No Democrat called for him to quit the race or resign from office because they thought he could beat Trump. That is until the debate when his dementia, which he has had for years, was too obvious to continue to lie about. And the Republicans, with their usual lack of a political killer instinct, didn’t make a big enough issue of it.
Democrats have officially put “party ahead of country’.” Isn’t that what Marxists always do?
I don’t think Biden declared he was “unfit” to run. Like LBJ, he simply said he would not seek another term Or, in the words of Calvin Coolidge, “I do not choose to run.” Big difference. Let’s not make this more than it actually is.
President Biden may not have declared himself unfit to run (and thereby unfit to serve). But do you actually believe he is? Rhetorical question here–would you really let your children–or grandchildren–ride in a car driven by Mr. Biden?
Better a car driven by Joe on Parcopa™ than Hunter on blow. ~
exactly but this does not change the objective fact he is unfit to be president.
Nation above party? Hmmm. You’re asking a lot of Democrats. This is the party, recall, which encouraged the 2020 summer of riots. It is a party which thinks nothing of belated and unseemly substitution for candidates who have become inconvenient. Think of the vote for Bob Torricelli being in fact a vote for Frank Lautenberg who wasn’t even on the ballot — couldn’t be put on the ballot. Remember that substitution? In fact, in St Louis one year Democrats had an apparently dead member petition the court to keep polls open late so that dead voters could vote for a dead candidate. That must be some sort of record.
Biden in the Oval Office fo the next half year enables a Biden style basement campaign for VP Harris. How often do we need this?
Also allows Xi and other foreign enemies to cash in for 6 more months. (Xi invested a lot of money in the retarded old fool, and it’s not unexpected that he’ll want a return on it.)
Zelensky will also be very quick to cash in as best he can.
Biden is mentally unfit to be president and this was hidden by the Democrats until it was revealed on the debate
Conservatives have known it since he first ran.
(“Life, Liberty, and . . . you know the thing.” “The most inclusive and expansive voter fraud system in history.” etc, etc, etc.)
I suspect the coke found in the White House was for him, as it was why we’d see him at times with unblinking, wide eyes. (Hunter was the mule. He wasn’t subject to searches.)
I might agree with you, except for the reports that the coke was very pure.
Most coke is cut with baby laxative. If this stash didn’t have it, Jill would demand it on Joe’s behalf.
Gotta have that laxative! ~
Who’s carrying the ‘nuclear football’?Who has the codes?
Pelosi, Schumer and Obama has to be held accountable for these continued acts of sedition and treason!
If Biden stays in office the Dems have a lot to do. There is the task of getting Kamala likable enough to have a chance to win in Nov. I doubt that being the first black women POTUS will secure enough votes. The country has been fooled by that ploy before.
Alternatively the Dems have a convention coming up and they need a spectacle to jump start the party and put the last four years behind them. And they have a whole heard of unqualified candidates to choose from.
Their bench is pretty thin these days.
I don’t think it matters much about who is president, Joe or Kamala. The country is still going to be mostly run by the group that is behind the president no matter which one it is.
Why are we so cynical? Isn’t antidemocracy the purest expression of democracy? The warlords and warladies will hack out some appropriate solution that keeps them warm at night, so what have we to fear but fear itself, or something?
As long as some shred of the late great America sits undestroyed, they have work to do. The People’s work, of course.
more farce. they did not 25th him as that makes her president, BO does not want her to be candidate as it is automatic if she is incumbent. he is intending to run michelle which was the long range plan for some time. Ordinarily it would be hillary but she has already lost to trump and the last thing he wants to do is turn control of the DNC back to bonnie and clyde. Mr. greenfield should see this. Nichelle I am sorry to say defeats him as this really how stupid the public is in this country. Welcome to the new argentina.
If I were American, I wouldn’t mind it being Argentina as long as there was a Javier Millei in the wings.
The one and only reason that Joe Biden isn’t the very worst President that the United States had ever had is because feeble-minded creepy old Joe isn’t a real US President, he’s a figurehead “president” who is the useful idiot of those in real power “behind the curtains ” who are just as evil and sinister as him but much more intelligent than him.
In other words, Biden is a useful tool and stooges of others in high power controlling him as their puppet “President.”
Zombie Joe Biden is a pseudo “president,” who may also be fittingly called a bogus “president.”
In an internet newsletter from The Jewish News Syndicate, the title of one was right on the mark. For it reads, “Biden’s legacy is a world in flames.”
So very true, For Joe Biden is a disaster for America, a disaster for Israel and a disaster for all the civilized nations of the world.
“Democrats claim that Kamala is ready to take over. Then let her. They claim that Biden is unfit to deal with the strenuous business of public life. Then let him step down. But there cannot be an unfit candidate and a fit president. For once, Democrats must put country ahead of party.”
But they won’t. Because they are insane ideologues whose thirst for power is so complete, they will risk Americans’ very existence to keep their wretched claws on the levers of power. They are truly the party of contemptible evil.
Daniel’s reasoning – that if Biden isn’t fit to run, he isn’t fit to hold office – is correct of course, but he and others who want Biden removed are overlooking something very important: the real danger isn’t Biden’s incapacity but the totalitarian bent of his puppet-masters. If Biden resigns or is removed by the 25th Amendment, Kamala Harris becomes President and the Left will still control the Executive Branch, making the country no better off than it is now.
Worse, some voters may become used to the idea of President Harris, who will then have the advantages of incumbency. Given the massive ballot fraud the Democrats are sure to engage in, that might just be enough to claim victory over Trump in the Democrat-controlled cities of the swing states.
The only path to safety for any of us is to get Trump elected in November. If that means living with Biden, who is after all only a figurehead and not really in charge of anything, then so be it.
Biden still holds the nuclear codes!
Republicans need to get off their ass, grow a set and impeach the son-of-a-bitch. Do it now!
