Biden heads to Chicago for a hero's goodbye

This is not the Democratic convention that President Joe Biden envisioned just a month ago.

Stepping onto the stage in Chicago was supposed to be the capstone of a half-century electoral career, a triumphant recognition of his prolific first term and hard-earned validation of the belief that he alone could once again defeat former President Donald Trump.

The deafening roars Biden receives at the United Center Monday night will communicate just as much relief as reverence from a party grateful he’s stepped away, further signaling that Biden’s exit from the race is the only reason Democrats are confident they have a shot to win in November.

And when Vice President Kamala Harris delivers her acceptance speech later this week, Biden will already have been out of sight and out of mind, on vacation far from the celebration.

When Biden’s polls cratered, and party donations shrunk, altruistic Democrats
decided the welfare of the party’s whining downticket candidates was paramount.

So they stopped catering to egotistical Biden’s delusions
(drjill told him that he was “the only one” who could beat Trump).

Biden went from looking “forward to getting back on the
campaign trail” to a dead man walking, in one weekend.

drjill applied calamine lotion to get the handprints of Barack Obama,
Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries off Joe’s bruised back.

America’s last chance to see him stroke out live on camera and melt down into a mumbling mess?

ROTFL! “A Hero’s Goodbye”. LOL. Who’s the “hero” the loser is saying goodbye to?

He should be arrested as he takes the stage.
No career grifter has ever done more damage to the United States & our freedom, than the Biden Crime Family has, with the exception of Obama, and he’s a rookie, compared to Joe.

Biden is no hero. It has been proven beyond a shadow of doubt he sold out America to our adversaries and other bad actors overseas. He was the Big Guy in the Biden crime family operation.

None of this is being reported as it should be in the legacy media. None of this will matter in the upcoming election.

Sadly not a chance he’ll call it what it was. A bloodless coup.

If his “speech” is going to be about making the case for passing the baton to Harris and all the reasons why....why wasn’t this done 6 months ago?

“Biden heads to Chicago for a hero’s goodbye”

A hero’s goodbye? Great. So, where they gonna find a hero? Cause Biden sure as hell ain’t it. Quite the opposite, in fact.
