I believe they don’t care who they run. They know how to manipulate the vote and also are fully aware that the press and more importantly the courts are not going to do anything about it.


Spot On. The dems could conceivably install Heels in the next election without so much as a raised hand from the GOP. They have the steal down to a science and are laughing at us.

Harris/Newsome is our future....

From John F Di Leo's article last week:

California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, the rich white male ticket?

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the dictatorial governor ticket?

Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren and Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar, the unpleasant feminist senator ticket?

“However the real question is how these Democrat idiots
got elected in the first place?”

************

The Democrat Takers vote for the candidates who promise to deliver handouts and more government spending, especially when the money is extracted from the Makers in society. That’s largely what motivates them to turn out.

At least they have their reasons for voting. Not sure how so many lame Republicans get elected. The base isn’t very discriminating who they vote for unfortunately. There are a lot of losers in the GOP too.

Nixon was safe from impeachment as long as Agnew was his VP.
When Agnew was forced to resign, the handwriting was on Nixon’s wall.
If you want to get rid of Biden, first you need to get rid of Harris.
When you see the liberal elite turn on Harris, you’ll know Biden is next.

I don’t see an all California ticket like that happening. But can’t rule anything out in these weird times.

The Dems sure are in a pickle. something the media fails to address, but VDH does here quite well. It sure will be interesting what the eventual “solution” is. For my money, it will be something sneaky and border line unethical and of course a slap tot eh American people. So Biden will step down, I first thought this Fall, but it could be at the convention in the Summer of 2024. Then, Dem Superdelegates appoint his replacement, a back room deal for a “vassal”, someone they feel is bot electable and controllable. Someone who they can program for their results, like Joe himself only younger and lucid.

The Dems are hoping they can keep Biden alive long enough to make it to November 2024. They may manufacture something to get Harris to resign as VP. Then Biden will announce Gretchen Whitmer as his VP choice. That’s how I’m starting to think this may play out.

I’ve heard Gretchen Whitmer is being floated in Dem circles

That I believe. She would actually be a good candidate for the Dems. Look for her to be "appointed" by superdelegates at their convention.

If the Democrat Socialists had any wit about them at all, they would just pull back from their stonewalling of RFK Jr. So they take a rap in the knuckles by allowing the candidacy of Bobby Junior to proceed, and the old Kennedy magic goes to work.

RFK Jr. makes a sweep of the primaries and arrives at the Democrat National Convention with a majority that even the superdelegates have to pay attention to, and is nominated on the first ballot. Trump would have a worthy opponent then, something that has never been the case in his quest for the Presidency. The 2016 field of Republican primary candidates was almost too easy, and Herself melted like an ice cream cone in August in the general. The 2020 election was a fluke, relying almost entirely on a combination of low-information voters and widespread fraud to put into office a mumbling hack that had made a career out of using elective position to leverage some really impressive amounts of cash and net worth out of each successive term in office. And he has always covered his tracks before, with a friendly media that will not report his chicanery and sleaze, while presenting a picture of “Joe just being Joe”, as if he were a blue-collar citizen who humbly worked his way up.

Joe Biden is about as “blue-collar” as a member of the Mafia. And he has made an even bigger payday out of his machinations on a world level.

No matter, by year’s end there will be witnesses and hard data showing that Joe himself discussed pay-for-play schemes with foreign entities, of the sort he long ago boasted with previous impunity before a Council of Foreign Relations event. This is no Whitewater, Trooper-gate, or Stormy Daniels scandal, but bribery of the sort explicitly outlined by the Constitution for removal from office: “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

*************

The problem is our dumbed down populace doesn't seem to care about the legal, moral and ethical aspects of Biden's obvious corruption. Very few people are alarmed about it. Its like we've become accustomed to it and refuse to see the consequences of what its doing to the country.

Heels Up Harris is deeply unpopular yet as a woman of color is almost impossible for them to just nudge aside without risking the alienation of their most loyal supporters.

Which is why I think that Brandon gets nudged aside sooner rather than later. The Democrats need to have a primary. A backroom deal that puts someone else at the top of the ticket will cause problems. A Harris loss in the primary might cause some bitterness but not an open revolt by large constituent groups.

Same as I’ve been saying, replace Harris with Newsome.
But...how?
No one wants to piss-off the base(s).

Better question is why would you want to install Newsome as VP? So you can impeach Harris and make Newsome president? Do you really think anyone coould beat Newsome in 2024 if he was the incumbent President?

I thought this was a very well done article. VDH really nailed it.

I saw this: "...He would have to be kept away from photo-ops with young (especially female) children, lest he turkey-gobbles the cheek of another victim to a worldwide audience..."

...and presume he is talking about this:

I found it fascinating that Leftists who talk about this say it was all fun, and the little girl was playing a "peek-a-boo" kind of game, but...when you look at her little face, it is nothing of the sort.

She is both repelled and frightened by it. And the disgusting parents, who all in for a photo op with this perverted excuse for a President, are grinningly willing to subject their toddler to this.

We are not dealing with a Democrat/Republican issue here.

The democrat party is just a vessel for the Marxist/globalists who are so close to world control they can taste it.

All of this race/woke/trans/homosexual stuff is just smoke and mirrors—those pathetic pawns will be thrown under the bus in a heartbeat.

The Marxists mean to collapse the US and world economies then seize power in the resulting chaos.

Anyone who tells you otherwise is not paying attention.
