The Rats Are Fleeing the Sinking S.S. Biden

New American Prophet ^ | July 8, 2024 | Jeff Crouere

[Rev M. Bresciani]

It has been clear for five years that President Joe Biden has been in serious mental and physical decline. Instead of investigating his condition, the leftwing media covered for Biden and attacked those raising the questions. In addition, his closest aides, Vice President Kamala Harris, his family and, especially, his wife vouched for his ability to serve another four years as President.

To think of Joe Biden as President for another four minutes is disturbing, for another four years is asinine. Everyone knows that if Biden somehow wins re-election this year, he will soon turn over the position to his Vice President, a troubling prospect indeed.

I wish no ill will on anyone but TBH, I’m not sure the guy will be alive in another four years

“Democrats don’t take a dump without it being planned and in unison, son”

[central_va]

TBH. IHWAAUWNN.

[Leep]

Although,to be fair ..it was never sea worthy from the start.
The dum dums are just begining to realize that fact
Unfortunately..for the leftards..the USS Harris is in even worse shape.😁

[Socon-Econ]

So what happens if they oust Biden and the nervous Democrat money men return to their roots? Are Republicans prepared to run on the issues and convince voters that the Democratic PARTY is the problem?

[Jane Long]

EVERY Cabinet member/admin personnel/advisor, etc., MUST be investigated as to WHAT did you know, WHEN did you know it, WHY did you continue to cover up, at the risk of our nation’s security.

Jill, Valerie, and Hunter are going to exact a helluva price.

Cash + Donors + Deals

[Kharis13]

I don’t want Biden to drop out, I want him to stay until the bitter end and lose bigly. The Dims cheated in 2020 to get him in, they can lose (again) with him in 2024.

Don’t give in, Joe! Stay in the race.

Lock Jen Psackfull up, first.

“It has been clear for five years that President Joe Biden has been in serious mental and physical decline.”

Of course, Democrats are mentally ill types, from whom we can expect only depravity. The problem is that they couldn’t have kept this game going this long without a lot of help from their “opposition.” Trump had to have learned that the only reason the party was behind him was to stab him in the back.

[Tommy Revolts]

True that.

[RoseofTexas]

Why is Fox News constantly bringing on Politico and AXIOS political correspondence? These are left wing outlets, and they continue to bring them on. Why don’t they bring in BreitBart or TownHall and other conservative correspondence? The fox media vomit pukes are the same crap as the DNCmain stream! Don’t be fooled.

The original setting for the fleeing rats was a decrepit house, one that was on the verge of falling down. Both rats and mice, in the 16th century, were said to have the ability to know when a structure was on the verge of collapse, and would accordingly decamp some time before this happened. By the early 17th century the behavior of the rats begins to see use as a simile.

Like rats fleeing a rotten house may have had a certain ring to it, but other competing forms came about as the 17th century progressed. The first of these to appear was the image of the rodent fleeing a burning house.
........
While there is considerable variation of verb employed to describe what the rats are doing, there is less in terms of the situations that these idioms were applied to; almost all of these early uses are in reference to political scandals.

Democrats learn on day one that you need to follow the party line. Just read Tulsi’s book. It is a gang you can’t escape.

[PeterPrinciple]

Folks,

There is little historical information on what happens after the rats leave the burning house.

Any thoughts? what does history tell us?

THE FOURTEENTH CHAPTER

THE RATS’ WARNING

DRAGGING a ship through the sea is hard work. And after two or three hours the swallows began to get tired in the wings and short of breath. Then they sent a message down to the Doctor to say that they would have to take a rest soon; and that they would pull the boat over to an island not far off, and hide it in a deep bay till they had got breath enough to go on.

And presently the Doctor saw the island they had spoken of. It had a very beautiful, high, green mountain in the middle of it.

When the ship had sailed safely into the bay where it could not be seen from the open sea, the Doctor said he would get off on to the island to look for water—because there was none left[118] to drink on his ship. And he told all the animals to get out too and romp on the grass to stretch their legs.

Now as they were getting off, the Doctor noticed that a whole lot of rats were coming up from downstairs and leaving the ship as well. Jip started to run after them, because chasing rats had always been his favorite game. But the Doctor told him to stop.

And one big black rat, who seemed to want to say something to the Doctor, now crept forward timidly along the rail, watching the dog out of the corner of his eye. And after he had coughed nervously two or three times, and cleaned his whiskers and wiped his mouth, he said,

“Ahem—er—you know of course that all ships have rats in them, Doctor, do you not?”

And the Doctor said, “Yes.”

“And you have heard that rats always leave a sinking ship?”

“Yes,” said the Doctor—“so I’ve been told.”

“People,” said the rat, “always speak of it with a sneer—as though it were something disgraceful.[119] But you can’t blame us, can you? After all, who would stay on a sinking ship, if he could get off it?”

rats talking to doctor
“‘And you have heard that rats always leave a sinking ship?’”
“It’s very natural,” said the Doctor—“very natural. I quite understand.... Was there—Was there anything else you wished to say?”

[120]

“Yes,” said the rat. “I’ve come to tell you that we are leaving this one. But we wanted to warn you before we go. This is a bad ship you have here. It isn’t safe. The sides aren’t strong enough. Its boards are rotten. Before to-morrow night it will sink to the bottom of the sea.”

“But how do you know?” asked the Doctor.

“We always know,” answered the rat. “The tips of our tails get that tingly feeling—like when your foot’s asleep. This morning, at six o’clock, while I was getting breakfast, my tail suddenly began to tingle. At first I thought it was my rheumatism coming back. So I went and asked my aunt how she felt—you remember her?—the long, piebald rat, rather skinny, who came to see you in Puddleby last Spring with jaundice? Well—and she said her tail was tingling like everything! Then we knew, for sure, that this boat was going to sink in less than two days; and we all made up our minds to leave it as soon as we got near enough to any land. It’s a bad ship, Doctor. Don’t sail in it any more, or you’ll be surely drowned....[121] Good-by! We are now going to look for a good place to live on this island.”

“Good-by!” said the Doctor. “And thank you very much for coming to tell me. Very considerate of you—very! Give my regards to your aunt. I remember her perfectly.... Leave that rat alone, Jip! Come here! Lie down!”

[HandBasketHell]

Democrats are masters at having 4 or 5 contingency plans.

I do not think they are panicking.

I think this is all going to plan.

There is no way in Hades that Biden's handlers would have allowed him to do that debate if they wanted to continue to hide his condition to the public. They would have just said "We are not going to lower ourselves to debate with a convicted felon." The kangaroo trial gave them that talking point.

I believe the handlers wanted Biden out because there is a real chance he is going to have a fatal heart attack or brain aneurysm any day now. That would catch them unawares.

They need time to get the public used to Kamala in charge.

And when his handlers told Joe he needed to withdraw from the race, his dementia brain went into angry old man mode. And Jill won't allow him to drop out.

So the decision was made to let him debate in order to force him out.

Now the public has 4 months to get used to Kamala at the head of the ticket and all the fake polls that will show her beating Trump along with all the glowing press coverage.

Unlike Republicans, Democrats ALWAYS have a plan. They never rest.
