CHICAGO — President Biden gave a shouting and at times emotional speech Monday as he spoke to the Democratic National Convention after being forced to relinquish the party’s nomination — in remarks that, in a further indignity, were bumped out of primetime.
“America, I love you!” Biden, 81, said, dabbing his eyes after an introduction from his daughter, Ashley Biden.
The crowd — chanting “thank you, Joe!” — continued to applaud the outgoing president for several minutes before he kicked off his address.
“Thank you Kamala, too,” Biden said when the supportive heckling persisted throughout his 51-minute speech, noting his endorsement of Vice President Harris as his replacement nominee.
“I’ve got five months left of my presidency and I have a lot to do. I intend to get it done,” Biden insisted — as he prepared to depart later in the evening for a vacation in Santa Ynez, Calif., following weeks of notably few public events since he dropped his bid for a second term on July 21.
**SNIP**
Biden said picking Harris, 59, as his running mate in 2020 was “the best decision I made in my whole career” — and claimed that “democracy must be preserved” by electing her.
Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff, along with Biden’s family, including scandal-plagued first son Hunter Biden, joined him on stage when he concluded — in a scene that resembled a nomination acceptance celebration.
“Let me ask you, are you ready to vote for freedom? Are we ready to fight for democracy and for America? Let me ask you, are you ready to elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz?” Biden implored the thousands of Democrats, who began to trickle out before he even finished speaking.

If you compare the Democrats vs Republicans, it’s like watching professionals playing against college level players.
The Democrats tolerate little to no dissent, they will throw out anyone when they become useless to the overall goal of the party, it’s totally Machiavellian.
Joe Biden is a career politician who has done everything the party has required, at the end of his career, he gets kicked in the ass to get out and made to laud his party and successor and made to look like a fool to the outside world.
I have no love lost for Biden, it’s fitting for him to get thrown out with the trash.
Compare that to the Republicans and Trump, he’s completely changed the trajectory of the Republican party and a fairly large segment of the party is not supporting him and is openly working against him.
Until Republicans adopt the same Machiavellian attitude as Democrats, they will be nothing more than controlled opposition which what many Republicans are fine with.

I give him credit for the presence of mind to intentionally tell lie after lie after lie. Vintage Biden.

Someone sure got to Kamala. She speaks like she’s reading from “See Spot run.”
It’s even MORE enervating to people who already think she talks like everyone on earth is 7 years old.
BTTT
( there , fixed it.)
I looked at that crowd and its hard to believe that this collective of Democrat idiots is responsible for the ruination of America. A pox on ALL of them!They want their darkness and ruination to continue?
The FARCE is with them.
Part of the problem is all of Joe’s graft - especially the millions he got from Ukraine. The problem isn’t the graft, though. Nor is it that he has been caught with the family’s paws in the cookie jar. The problem is that The Party found out that Old Joe didn’t share it with the rest of The Party. The Party is not one person, The Party is everyone, all encompassing. Party first, last and always.
I don’t think it’s about the money Joe and his family got, they are all in the corruption, including Republicans, take Nancy Pelosi she thru her husband are the best stock pickers in the world.
When it became clear that Joe would likely lose to Trump, he was of no value to the party anymore, the kicked him in the ass and discarded him like trash.
Bumped him out of primetime. My wife and I started watching the sh*t show and after a while we gave up because we knew that the DNC wouldn’t let their key speakers perform during primetime.
All from his command center at the beach
One raggedy old puppet is as good as a raggedy old HO.
I wanted to see what Joe would say but went to bed at 11 pm. Great way to honor Joe, dump him to the last possible minuet. I simply could not stay awake any longer.
He, “historically” got thrown out on his keister BY HIS OWN PARTY. Mammy Nanzi said, “Joe, ya gotta go!” LOL.
