Thursday was a very bad day for Joe Biden. He was shown “mercy” by the Department of Justice, not for the sake of corruption but to send a message that he’s not even fit enough to be charged for crimes he committed. He was then thrust into a press conference after sunset, a time when his waning mental acuity is at its dullest. To exacerbate both challenges, corporate media was unleashed to plant the most obvious seeds about his upcoming removal from the presidential race.
It was on this day that my own queries about Biden’s situation shifted from “will he be replaced” to “does he even know?” Since a day or two after his nomination was secured in 2020, I had concluded the most likely scenario is that if they cheated enough to make him win, he’d serve part of his term before handing the reins over to his VP. I assumed he was privy to this plan. Now, I’m starting to think he’s been an unwitting scapegoat the whole time.
Biden’s woes started yesterday with Special Counsel Robert Hur’s “good” news for the president. He won’t be facing criminal charges for illegally mishandling classified documents despite the fact that President Trump is currently charged for similar but less egregious crimes. The “good” news was bad enough as a representation of the unfairness of the justice system, but what made it most damning for Biden was the way Hur characterized him as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
The subsequent press conference held conspicuously after Biden’s bedtime was a disaster. He was slow-witted and often angry. He confused Egypt with Mexico. He lashed out during a barrage of questions from a press that has turned against him. He even had members of the press who have spent three years covering for him suddenly use his own words against him.
Some Republicans are predictably calling for his removal through the 25th Amendment. Democrats aren’t jumping in front of cameras to defend him. It appears that the end is near, which brings me back to the question of whether Biden is even aware that he’s being replaced.
My long-time working theory has been that he knew the plan but positioned himself to subvert those plans with the masterful playing of the Kamala Harris card. Nothing protects an incompetent tyrant like the prospects of an even worse successor behind them. He has treated her like Fredo Corleone from the beginning, letting her take care of the political versions of Mickey Mouse nightclubs while leaking reports of her incompetence. But even the Kamala card may not be enough to fight back the wolves.
The latest iteration of my predictions is that he’ll announce in the coming days, weeks, or months that he’s not going to run for reelection. This will prevent his removal from office as attention shifts to his replacement. Michelle Obama is the most obvious choice, bolstered by the fact that corporate media has been instructed not to talk about her too much. The powers-that-be want to portray a reluctant messiah being thrust into the role rather than an ambitious, pre-planned replacement to divert from the carnage that has been inflicted over the past three years.
Michelle Obama won’t be blamed for destructive Biden policies. Michelle Obama will “infuse” a Democrat Party that is hemorrhaging reliable voting blocks. Michelle Obama will be elevated by press more than any candidate in history, including her husband.
Nobody wants to hear this and I definitely don’t want to say it, but Michelle Obama could win.
Last month I called for a strategic shift in how patriots handle the election. I’m reiterating that call today. Attacks against Biden at this point are wasted. In fact, hitting Biden now will only make his replacement more exciting to voters. We need to hit Democrat policies, not just Biden, as the reason for our nation’s woes. Whether it’s Obama or not, the replacement candidate will be separated from today’s policies. Our best play is to make people aware that any Democrat is a continuation of failure no matter how “exciting” they seem to be. Continuously hitting Biden today will only make it harder to attack his replacement in the future.
What is the fawning over Michelle Obama?! There is absolutely nothing to suggest she is interested or scheming for national office. NOTHING! It is a waste and unnecessary distraction to keep dragging her out. The real risk is Governor Newsome. He has positioned himself to be the heir apparent when Biden goes, likely will be the vice-president choice if Harris becomes president. And he is a hair-slicked-back liar that smiles into the camera lying. Look at that debate with DeSantis. He’s the upcoming face of the Democrat party, not Michelle Obama, not Harris.
As for the 25th Amendment, they have no Constitutional path to replace Harris before the election.
A post on FR is all I need. :)
common sense. Thats all you need to see whats going on.
This whole farce with the press all of a sudden in a feeding frenzy over potato biden and his lack of a brain, an awful lot of people i know called it. Its a process and and you can see it coming a mile away if you use common sense and have a weary eye.
Black women in positions of power don’t seem to work out well for average citizens
Look at the current crop of mayors, police chiefs and DAs that are corrupt and incompetent
These stories about Big Mike are nothing but clickbait. Seen her lately? Fat and ugly.
There two main reasons why Mooch won’t be on the ticket:
1) She is too damned lazy.
2) Hussein would never allow it.
Or She-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named.
I don’t think we are prepared for the surge that any new democrat inserted into the election will get in the polls.
Unfortunately democrats and wishy-washy republicans are idiots and as soon as you show them a fresh face they say oh great I don’t have to vote for Trump now.
They pay way too little attention to the issues and policies that are destroying the nation and which would probably be even worse, if that’s possible, under a new dem candidate.
Sorry- just heard that he has been taking classified info since the 1970’s- so the liberals are inferring that biden has been mentally incapable for more than 50 years now- That seems to be what Hur inferred today-
Blasphemy!
I think it will be Gavin who is of course a complete leftist disaster. Depending on how long this is delayed are they planning to just ignore their own primaries and insert the candidate?

I use to be on board with gov newsom but you gotta get around the lefts obsession with race. No way in hell the deep state gets away with replacing harris with a white man. Their base will be in full on revolt if that happens. They have to move her out and cover their a$$es at the same time.
Even Robin Williams knew about Biden, way back in 2009....

You need details.
If you want to make claims about press coverage give specific examples.
MSNBC was in full throated defense of Biden last night.
Every media outlet is spending ten times more coverage attacking President Trump than they are beating up on Biden.
I have followed mass media bias for decades.
If they wanted Biden gone we would not be discussing this—he would already be gone.
Not every Democrat believes that would be fair to Kamala. How many of you would seriously be cool with Laura Bush or Melania being chosen by the RNC.
More than a handful of Democrat governors and Reps would be more palatable to them than Michelle
Think folks, she has never held an elected position. She planted a garden and worked out her upper body.
“they have no Constitutional path”
Im not sure if that matters.
Biden is a very sneaky and creepy liar. Republicans are very poor at jumping on the obvious issues.
Biden opened his statement by saying how great it was the prosecutor decided not to charge him going way back to the 1970s.
When what really happened is Biden has been misusing classified information for 50 years.
What is the mechanism though? Does the DNC just make that decision without consulting the voters? Just announce it as a fine deal?
No trial ballon’s? No primaries? No debates?
I don’t know… it seems like if it was going to be someone other than Kamala Harris, they would have started the ball rolling and get in on the primary and debate schedule to demonstrate some political clout.
Even brainwashed Democrat voters need to believe they got to choose a nominee.

Good post—we need Biden to stay exactly where he is.
The Republicans need to learn when to keep their mouths shut—and now is one of those times.
