In 1927, Sigmund Freud published a book about religion called Die Zukunft einer Illusion (The Future of an Illusion). As a contribution to the understanding of religion, it is, like much of Freud’s work, both banal and outrageous. But it occurs to me that its catchy title as well as its main thesis — religion, Freud wrote, was invented to fulfill “the oldest, strongest and most urgent wishes of mankind” — has a certain pertinence to the large-scale entertainment now being offered to the public by Democrats eager to salvage the reputation of President Joe Biden.

For reference, the Hamas attack on Israel started a dawn, 6:15 am Gaza time, right in the middle of Biden's downtime.

Again, a misdirection. If Pinnochio Joe was awake 24 hours a day his damage to America would only be worse. I'm looking forward to his noon to 2:00 pm workday, three days a week instead of four.

Gaslight all they like, but we see Brandon between 10 am and 4 pm making speeches, greeting sports teams, presenting awards, etc. He is no more coherent then, than he is from 4 pm to 10 am. This is just the coverup for the coverup.

FTAIt seems that Democrats are considering every option except one: run the most dignified campaign you can, with the candidate you chose — and lose. Only Republicans run campaigns with a guaranteed loss. Remember Dole, McCain, and Romney? Dems have not accepted losing since Dukaka in 1988 - they have disputed every loss and will do the same in November.

The Democrats are being forced into an incredibly ironic position. They have to assassinate three people . Sniffer will be heavily juiced so that he resembles being alive. Sooner rather than later his cork will pop the last time. Enough meth and benzos can do anything. Cackling Kammy will be touring the presidential bunker and "accidentally" get stuck in the 60 ton blast door. DJT better steer clear of grassy knolls, book repositories, and afghans on the 10th floor with a muzzle loading, single shot flintlock long rifle. The Democrats vitally need a reboot and this is the only way. Take out ALL the players and start over. The deep state has no problem with any of this. They've done it before. Again has arrived.

Remember this Hillary ad? "It's 3am and your children are safe and asleep. Who do you want answering the phone?" Not Biden, not an age thing. Old people can answer the phone and you can normally believe what they say. Demented people likely can't answer the phone @ 3a and you probably cannot trust the accuracy of what they say. Hillary slaps down Joe, from afar. PIAPS' words. They always come back to haunt her.

It is the dem lust for power and their visceral hatred of Trump that has put them in this position. Trump has slowly deconstructed dems since he started to ascend the presidential stage. First, he went after the propaganda media. Since he did, their credibility has almost disappeared and many outlets are on the verge of closing. To be sure, it has been their own actions that have doomed them but Trump kept the spotlight on their failures. Next, he slaughtered many dem sacred cows, for example, significantly lowering taxes to free the economy. Not only did personal wealth increase but more economic activity actually increased the over tax revenue collected. Win-Win. Basically, he proved the dem anti American way of doing things did not work and that MAGA way DID. Also, he rebuilt the federal courts, especially the SCOTUS, by appointing Conservative judges. That has paid enormous dividends, especially lately, as their decisions have gutted the power of the deep state and beaten off attacks against the presidency, in the persona of Trump himself. While the striking down of Roe-Wade was a great moral victory and reestablished Constitutional law, the recent decisions returning proper balance between the branches of government completely undermines dem actions. The Left loathes Trump for the nearly fatal blows he has struck against them. Their lies and attacks have poisoned the thinking of the independent electorate. If we had gotten to this point of Biden's collapse with any other Republican besides Trump, the republican would be ahead by huge margins. Unfortunately, the dems vile actions against Trump have made it difficult for him to build support among independents, who are unsure and believe some aspects of the lies. I suspect that the dems will eventually try to dump Biden. It will be messy, especially if Biden fights it, and there are legal blockades in the primary process that may make it almost impossible to change horses. They have only 4 months to connect to the public with a replacement and their propaganda media was as gravely wounded as Biden. Who will message for them? Who will believe them? It will be an interesting 4 months to November.

The problem is that OTHER PEOPLE are doing "official acts" while perporting to be "the president" because Joe is out of the loop most of the time. Periodically they put a stack of papers in front of him and he signs them, probably after Jill says something like "I looked at them Joe, they are good, you should sign them." Who is actually making most decisions? Joe isn't. Jill probably is doing a lot, and then "staff" are probably doing most of the "being president" in day to day stuff. NOT LEGAL, and not right.

"Now they are, yes, telling some, you know, accurate things about Joe Biden's mental situation, but it's not because they're truth-tellers," Hemingway said.

Kamala Harris may be our only hope. Biden
should step aside and endorse her

Posted by Moritz55 7/3/2024 5:46:59 PM Post Reply
I have never been a fan of Kamala Harris. I was an outspoken critic of her candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, earning the ire both of her then spokesperson and also the notorious “KHive” of terminally online Harris fans. Nor did I shed any tears when her campaign turned out to be a disaster and she ended up withdrawing from the race before a single vote had been cast in the primaries. So it is with some surprise, reluctance and even trepidation that I am now writing these words: Joe Biden should stand aside and endorse Kamala Harris as the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee.

After the first presidential debate, lots of Democrats are panicking about whether President Joe Biden should step down as the party’s nominee. Biden’s poor performance in the debate was not a surprise. It also didn’t rattle me as it has others, because the outcome of this election has been clear to me for months: While I don’t plan to vote for him, Donald Trump is going to win. And I’m OK with that. There are winners and losers in every election. Democrats’ post-debate hand-wringing is based on the idea that a Trump victory is not just a political loss, but a unique threat to our democracy. I reject the premise.

CNN host Jake Tapper accused Democratic officials of using Orwellian tactics to spin President Biden’s debate performance. Tapper co-moderated last week's presidential debate, which was widely seen as a disastrous night for Biden. Many Democrats and liberals in the media have called for the president to step down and be replaced with another nominee. As for the Democrats still defending Biden, Tapper argued they are disingenuously downplaying or ignoring signs of the president's age-related decline.

After last Thursday’s debate, Biden himself laid to rest the Democratic lie that he was robust and in control of his faculties. In truth, he demonstrated to the nation that he is a sad, failing octogenarian who could not perform any job in America other than apparently the easy task of President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief in charge of our nuclear codes. In 2019, Democratic primary candidates often hit rival Joe Biden for his apparent senior moments and incoherence. During the 2020 campaign, Biden often became in bizarre fashion animated and nasty (“you ain’t black”/“fat”/“lying dog-faced pony soldier”/“junkie”).

Biden made the claim while surrounded by donors during a Saturday fundraiser at the home of New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy. The president reportedly acknowledged that his performance at the debate left much to be desired, but he argued that polling was on his side.

Color me shocked. I knew the June 27 debate between President Biden and Donald Trump would be a historic event, but virtually every other prediction I had made about the event was dead wrong. I was not the only one. For the last few weeks, Democrats in particular seemed to be willing to imagine a Biden who was sharp, glib, and might even do cartwheels on the stage. Trump supporters worried about the debate format, and especially about whether frequent Trump critics Jake Tapper and Dana Bash would join Team Biden while serving as supposedly fair moderators.

Nuzzi said she had heard questions being posed by high-ranking Democrats on the east and west coasts about whether Biden is a puppet whose strings are being pulled by another group of secretive Democrats.

Larry Sabato, the Trump-hating pollster who is known for his campaign ‘crystal ball,’ said on CNN earlier today that the race between Biden and Trump is no longer close and that the poll numbers he is seeing are ‘bad’ for Biden. This interview happened before the Stephanopoulos interview (which went terribly) and Sabato conceded that one good interview is not going to save Biden or his campaign. The reason these comments should really disturb Democrats is because if there was any kind of silver lining to include here, any single ray of sunshine, Sabato would have pointed it out, but there is no good news for Democrats.

Shootings and other violence during the extended Fourth of July weekend have left at least 33 people dead, including 11 in Chicago, and injured dozens more nationwide, authorities said. The Fourth of July historically is one of the nation’s deadliest days of the year. A flurry of shootings around the holiday a year ago left more than a dozen people dead and over 60 wounded. And a year before that, seven people died in a mass shooting at a Fourth of July parade near Chicago. Violence and mass shootings often increase in the summer months, with more people gathering for social events, teens out of school and hotter temperatures.

Madison, Wis.— The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Friday that officials can place ballot drop boxes around their communities in this fall’s elections, overturning its own ruling two years ago limiting their use in the presidential swing state. The court limited the use of drop boxes in July 2022, ruling then that they could be placed only in local election clerks’ offices and no one other than the voter could return a ballot in person. Conservatives controlled the court at that time, but Janet Protasiewicz’s election victory in April 2023 flipped the court to liberal control.

Former President Donald Trump issued a challenge to Joe Biden via Truth Social on July 4th. Trump proposes a one-on-one, no-holds-barred debate to discuss the future of America. The former president’s call for this unconventional debate format promises a direct, unfiltered discussion on key issues affecting the nation. “I have the answer to the Crooked Joe Biden Incompetence Puzzle — Let’s do another Debate,” wrote Trump. He envisions an all-out discussion with just him and Biden on stage.
