Why Biden must withdraw (See pic from The Economist below)
The Economist ^ | 7-4-24 | The Economist

The presidential debate was awful for Joe Biden, but the cover-up has been worse. It was agony to watch a befuddled old man struggling to recall words and facts. His inability to land an argument against a weak opponent was dispiriting. But the operation by his campaign to deny what tens of millions of Americans saw with their own eyes is more toxic than either, because its dishonesty provokes contempt.

Weak opponent?! Trump! There’s probably only a handful of people in Trump’s class.

I didn’t believe the cover pic was true until I checked it out. The Babylon Bee was out done on this one.

The third paragraph starts out that Biden needs to be remembered for his accomplishments and decency...

Yup—the long knives are out and on display.

However Jill Biden is going to have to be put in a straight-jacket and muzzle and carried off the stage screaming....

The author, Ricardo Rey, after reading just a little bit of the article, is a real partisan doofus.

The Economist has been relentlessly hostile to Trump for years (at least since he became President).

The problem is not the body - it is the brain.

President Roosevelt did his job very well, when confined to a wheelchair.

Accomplishments? Zero.

Decency? Not a drop.

First, the author of the piece made sure that he thought Trump was as bad or worse than Biden.

Second, he perpetuates the lie that Biden was a “decent” man.

Third, after spending paragraphs describing how a superpower cannot run on autopilot, he does NOT state that Biden should resign, but should simply not run again.

Fourth, he gives no replacement name. You cannot replace something with nothing, and you also cannot replace nothing with nothing.

Here’s the part that is unstated: If Biden resigns, Kamala Harris gets the spot. If she is the sitting President, she gets the campaign spot. She is not an interim NFL head coach.

The author also ignores the fact that replacing the top spot without Kamala will fracture the party, and kill the whole ticket, not just the top spot. A lot of Democrats who can live through a Trump win cannot survive a party fracture.

“Economist” Republicans are like National Review Republicans, only even MORE globalist. They are an unwanted breed.

The takeaway from the Biden debate was it is OK to rape anyone because abortion can correct that little mistake.

Physical ailments are a part of getting old. But Biden has always been a slimy vengeful angry POS and disgusting child predator.

And the President had to pay for it out of his own 10% influence peddling secret account because some fool killed Medicare and it wasn’t covered. Not even the replaceable tips.

Headline— Why Biden Must withdraw

During the antiwar protests in 1967 some had placards saying

LBJ
Withdraw Like
Your Old Man
Should Have
