There was 6 January 2021, and a violent coup attempt by a president desperately trying to cling to power. Then there was 24 July 2024, and a president explaining why he was giving up the most powerful job in the world.
Joe Biden’s address on Wednesday night was a moving piece of political theatre, the start of a farewell tour by “a kid with a stutter from modest beginnings” who entered politics in 1972 and made it all the way to the Oval Office. For diehard Democrats it was a case of: if you have tears, prepare to shed them now.
The speech was also a rebuke of his predecessor Donald Trump’s authoritarian impulses in both word and deed. Although he never mentioned his predecessor by name, Biden laid out two radically different visions of the US presidency set to clash again in November.
In 2020, the year of a global pandemic, Black Lives Matter protests and Trump trauma, Biden’s signature empathy born of personal tragedies made him the right man at the right time to heal hearts and defend democracy. In 2024, his time has passed. That he came to recognise it reluctantly, and decided to pass the baton, taught a lesson about the presidency that Trump will never learn.

Bullsqueeze? Consider the source.
Only if includes the vomit moving up into one's throat while listening to such lying crap.
Just say “No” to drugs!
Anyone who listened to that speech mostly came to the same conclusion..snd that conclusion was,huh?
It was beautiful AI theater
I must be losing my hearing because I could only make out a few words of his address.
I often wonder if posters of this type of gaslighting BS are also fans of it....
Stopped reading right there.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍. Yup! It was theater alright. This assclown has been a liar and bully his entire miserable life. He’s become grossly enriched during his career. Yup, don’t mess with the branduhns. Like his previous boss, he too is of the mind that sooner or later you have enough money. Obviously neither have gotten there yet.
I do not think it was AI. However, the contents of the speech were like a condensed version of the State of the Union.
To me it looked like a hostage speech given by someone under duress. I am surprised he did not hold up yesterdays version of the Washington Post.
We also watched it on Real America Voice. He was looking to the upper right reading the speech the whole time. Instead of looking at the camera.
Do they really believe this?
I guess that doesn’t matter. The issue is always the revolution, and Biden’s dropout helped the revolution. Now the media’s job is to reconfigure Harris as “Auntie Kammie,” the 21st century equivalent of Uncle Joe, which will help the revolution even further.
I think I saw Luca Brasi behind the curtains....
And yet all the rhetoric was opaque, the exact opposite of transparency. Theater it may have been, but a puppet-theater, not a stage production with live actors.
“I was just following orders” comes to mind when the democrat media whores publish this garbage.
From Dictionary.com:
theatre - a public display of action or speech that gives a false impression of accomplishing or promising something.
I saw that also...His eyes never waivered away from the hidden teleprompter....
A string of insider coups to take out a candidate who was losing and coronate Calamity Harris, and you call Trump an authoritarian?
As always, he gets to lie with impunity.
