Do Democrats need a Nixon-like intervention with Biden?
The Hill ^ | 05/08/2023 | DOUGLAS MACKINNON

The president was in deep trouble, and everyone seemed to understand it except for himself and a few zealous aides.

As the summer of 1974 wore on, it became obvious to all that the Watergate break-in and the subsequent widespread cover-up that followed had politically and legally ensnared President Richard Nixon in a trap from which there was no viable escape. A growing number of senior Republicans feared Nixon was too isolated from reality and quite possibly misinformed by aides to rationally ascertain his dire predicament. For those reasons, and others, a few decided that an intervention at the White House was needed.

I don't know - are the CIA and the FBI conspiring with the mainstream media to drive Biden from office, with huge GOP majorities in Congress cooperating behind the scenes?

Other than that, the two situations are perfectly identical.

I know, right?

We are seeing more and more about Hunter Biden and his problems seeping into the mainstream media.

Could it be, that Joe and Hunter have been told behind the scenes, that all of this will go away, and be managed somehow, if Joe will not run for re-election???? Maybe they have been told that “no reasonable prosecutor” will take cases involving this, if Joe will “retire”???

Maybe the story with Hunter is just the “tip of the iceberg” and will eventually lead to Joe himself????

Remember that the Nixon intervention followed the Agnew intervention. We need a KKKamala Devil-a Harrrrris intervention first.

Biden is a senile LBJ.
Like LBJ, totally clueless, but has no idea what he is doing other than making threats.
I was shocked when I found out much of the moon mission was already in planning stages before JFK was elected.
He just took credit for it

Democrats do not care about what Biden is doing to this country.

They (D's) are the Criminal party.

All they "care" about is lining their own pockets. 💵💵💵

They (D's) are helped out by the members of the Accomplice party (RINO's), who also, only "care" about lining their own pockets. 💵💵💵💵.

What a joke of a third world country we have become.

No way. LBJ knew what he was doing

People here give Biden way too much credit.

It isn’t a job for Michelle.

Being President has been phoned in by JOE-—but WE all know Obama is calling the shots.

Having Barry back in the White House is beyond INSULTING

Trump loses to Biden in the electoral college.

The second it looks like Trump isn’t the candidate, Biden will have an “incident” and he will retire.

We are a long ways away from 2024.

I say Michelle because I think Barack expects a fourth term. She won’t do anything — but she’s eligible and he isn’t. He has had his two terms. Joe is his third term. Michelle could give him the fourth and fifth.

And maybe Barack isn’t even the real person. There may be layers within layers and who knows who really calls the shots. But some lazy, compliant person needs to sit in the oval office and pretend to be president. Michelle might be able to handle that.

And my thinking is also predicated on my belief that no one counts our votes. They just tell us who they’ve chosen to name as the winner in any given election. Maybe they’ll decide to give us Michelle.

LBJ was probably the least clueless President we’ve had in the past 100 years.

He was a jerk…but he was six steps ahead of anyone trying to get in his way.

all go away…

Maybe, just maybe Joe has been the only one in the family to bring in money and the family did not save, so they really need that last 4 years for retirement….

They could run a turnip. Rig it. And 90% of the country would yawn and go to Chick Fil A.
