Biden will step aside

[flockofseagulls104]

In the wing of the party that cast 20-30% "uncommitted" votes in the Michigan primary, he is associated closely with Netanyahu. Harris will be able to win them back a lot easier than even a Biden at the top of his game would.

How? By endorsing Hamas? Throwing Israel under the bus like the UN does?

No, just by taking a lower key approach to the subject until after the election. That's what Trump does now whenever someone brings up the subject of reproductive rights or Project 2025.

Actually he has made definitive statements on both those subjects. You are just never informed about them in bullshit world.

It's interesting that Lisa Murkowski was the only currently elected Republican who had anything gracious to say about Biden's departure. Of course, in Flock's mind, she's probably also a RINO or someone with brain freeze from living in Alaska too long. Liz Cheney did as well, but we all know what Flock thinks about her.

Despite Biden's announcement, Trump made several additional social media posts calling out "Crooked Joe Biden." So much for the kinder, gentler Republican Party.

Murkowski and Cheney are both RINOs. Somehow you think referring to them will change my mind about anything? No, it's all about reconciling your own delusions.

At least he didn't encourage anyone to take him out.

That’s a leader leading.

And now we have a real election.

You know that whenever Flock is at a loss to respond intelligently (which is most of the time), he can always find some random nitwit on Twitter to link to.

Here's what a non-random nitwit on Truth Social had to say today:

So, we are forced to spend time and money on fighting Crooked Joe Biden, he polls badly after having a terrible debate, and quits the race. Now we have to start all over again. Shouldn’t the Republican Party be reimbursed for fraud in that everybody around Joe, including his doctors and the Fake News Media, knew he was not capable of running for, or being, President? Just askin’?

Not quite on a level with dancing with sharks and boat batteries and recalling dinners with Hannibal Lecter, but he's getting close and he only had a few hours to think about it. Harris has really thrown the Republicans off their game. They're reduced to just retweeting their baseless claims and replacing Biden's name with Harris (of course, the comments about Senile Joe may need some rethinking).

As I figured he would, Mitt Romney has joined Lisa Murkowski in praising Biden today. With the possible exception of Susan Collins, we've seen the end of graciousness from current Republicans towards Biden.

It's over. Trump wins. He might have won anyway, but Biden's resignation just ensures a Republican victory in November. Harris, if she is the nominee, doesn't appear to fare any better in the polls than Biden - though she will prove a much better debater than Biden - and any other candidate doesn't really have the time to build up any momentum. Not to mention the legal quagmire that is sure to follow regarding the use of campaign funds given to the Biden-Harris campaign. I'm quite sure the Republicans are lining up lawyers to take the case to court. The Federal Election Commission won't be able to resolve anything because they are deadlocked 3-3.

Man. Talk about a Debbie downer. I can see thinking that Trump will win. But, to state that it’s a certainty goes pretty far.

I’m willing to bet on the Dems if anybody wants to take me up on it.

Gee, can't get any point across to you. If I said it in my own words, you would have made up a new epithet to call me (or most likely recycled an old one). So I find someone who is saying the same thing I am thinking, and you decide she is a random nitwit. Of course, the whole thing is to avoid having to think about the point that is being made, because you have no answer for it. ADDRESS THE MESSAGE INSTEAD OF ATTACKING THE MESSENGER.

Here is the point, trollboy:
Biden and his handlers are no heroes. They have lied to you for over 4 years. About many things. And they continue to.
I don't give a shit who the democrat swamp picks to run. If biden is not mentally competent to be charged for crimes he is guilty of, and he is not fit to campaign for the office, he is not fit to remain in the office.

[flockofseagulls104]

Here's the real deal.

You democrats voted in all your primaries for biden. You had other choices, but according to the 'rules' of your party, YOU nominated biden as your choice to run for President.

It was so definite that they decided to schedule debates. They knew who the nominees would be. But strangely, they decided to schedule 1 debate BEFORE either of the party conventions, which had NEVER been done before. And they made sure to stack the deck to make it as easy for the democrat nominee as possible. WHY?

The most obvious explanation is usually the most likely. They wanted to test biden, because they knew he was mentally impaired. Well, he obviously failed the test.

So the powers that be in the democrat party staged a campaign onslaught to force biden, against his will, (and against YOURS, who voted for him to be the nominee) to withdraw his name.

You have no political party, you democrats. You are just pawns in the game.

I’m adding one condition to my offer to make a bet.

In the event that Harris were to do what Pence didn’t, and there is a storming of something or another (by either or both sides), and Biden were to declare martial law, and then resign after what would have been the Inauguration Day, leaving Harris as President, I’d win the bet.

Y’all let me know if you’re interested.

[silverscreenselect]

You can tell how flustered Flock is. He's ranting in six different directions at once. He sounds more like Donald Trump than ever.

Worried a little, aren't you?

And by the way, Harris has received over $50 million in small dollar donations since the Biden announcement. And she didn't have to sell a single Bible to get them.

Hypothetical candidates usually poll worse than actual candidates. We should start having enough polls for reliability in about another week. And Donny truly is a historically weak candidate.

The key question to look at is how Vice President Harris fares among those with whom she has name recognition. (I know she's Vice President, but there's still a healthy chunk of people who don't recognize her name.) Since Donny has pretty much universal name recognition, the number I'm citing is a pretty good predictor of how she'll do once the campaign spends tens of millions of dollars introducing her to the fraction of the American people who don't yet know her.

I've met Vice President Harris, by the way. Anyone who thinks she won't be a formidable opponent -- I'll enjoy seeing their reaction when they learn just how wrong they were. It took her all of two days to sew up the nomination and take effective (not just titular) control of the campaign. Anyone who knows the Democratic Party knows that it usually takes longer than two days just to decide when decisions will be made. --Bob

Black Lives Matter Statement on Kamala Harris Securing Enough Delegates to Become Democratic Nominee

I find this weird for several reasons:

• In the weeks before Biden dropped out in favor of Harris, Black Democrats sounded the alarm that (white) party leaders were maneuvering to push Harris aside in favor of Newsom or Whitmer
  • But I can’t find anyone who suggested that. If they did it behind closed doors, the doors were soundproof.
• Since Biden’s decision, Democratic support for Harris has been overwhelming
• I thought BLM, like Tea Party, Antifa and MAGA, is a loosely structured movement, not an organization with a leadership heirarchy

[flockofseagulls104]

Yeah, Kamala has learned a lot. She's just as glib as joe.

Too bad she wasn't at a bus depot. She would have gotten really excited.

Expect them to shield Kamala from speaking anything except from a teleprompter. I suspect she can read better than joe. <pause> That will be what will be, unburdened by what really is.

[flockofseagulls104]

Since Biden’s decision got told to get out, Democratic support for Harris has been overwhelming

Just Sayin...

Boy, you guys are so easily manipulated. The media conglomerate can sure turn on a dime, can't they? I'll bet Kimmel and Colbert are all in now for Harris. I'll bet they're busy scrubbing their past episodes, just like the rest of the media. Now she's smarter than Hillary ever was! More seasoned than Obama! And she's black! And a woman! How did we not notice all this before?

And you go right along with them. (Do any of you remember when news was news and not propaganda?)

But don't worry. You don't even need to bother to vote. They got it in the bag. They can send in votes for all the illegals they registered.

[jarnon]

Yeah, Kamala has learned a lot. She'\’s just as glib as joe.

I’m fed up with the narrative, spread for decades by both parties, that their opponents are morons. Records of accomplishment at schools like Yale and Harvard, in government and business, are somehow all a sham. Anyone who believes this BS, and hunts for evidence to “prove” it, is very gullible.
