This reminds me of Watergate.

The Republicans swore they would never abandon Nixon—until they turned on him.

Never trust a junkie.

Never trust a politician.

They don’t have his back, they’re pulling his strings. He is controllable, which is why they don’t want to lose him.

Democrats are Party Over Country. They are the American CCP.

Trump’s Republican’s are America First.

Seriously, this is the core of what drives our conflict in this Country today and if Democrats prevail it will necessarily come at the cost of America and it’s future best interests.

The DIMocRATs believe in America Last...if at all. They believe they are cleverly pushing their interests and the interest of their extended extended families and of connected “friends”. How many of these people’s families have become very wealthy (or greatly increased their wealth) being “public servants”? What a scam. What a grift. How pathetic???

BUMP! The wealthy mini kings and queens are not concerned with the lowly subjects. They try very hard to avoid interacting with them. It’s the template used throughout history. GOV-citizen. President Trump connects with the citizens and is close to and visible to we the people like no other politician in American history. He earned his money the hard way like the rest of us. He worked for it.

“Biden knows where our bodies are buried and we know where his are, so shut up and go back to work.”

Behind the Curtain: a handful, a Biden oligarchy, will decide fate

Forget the pundits. Ignore New York Times editorials and columnists. Tune out people popping off on X. The only way President Biden steps aside, despite his debate debacle, is if the same small group of lifelong loyalists who enabled his run suddenly — and shockingly — decides it’s time for him to call it quits. Jill Biden; his younger sister, Valerie Biden; and 85-year-old Ted Kaufman, the president’s longtime friend and constant adviser — plus a small band of White House advisers — are the only Biden deciders. This decades-long kitchen cabinet operates as an extended family, council of elders and governing oligarchy. These allies alone hold sway over decisions big and small in Biden’s life and presidency.

The president engaged in no organized process outside his family in deciding to run for a second term, the N.Y. Times’ Peter Baker reports. Then Biden alone made the decision, people close to him tell us.If Biden stays in, it’s for the same reason he deci ded to run again: He and the oligarchy believe he has a much better chance of beating former President Trump than Vice President Harris does.

Biden allies have played out the scenarios and see little chance of anyone besides Harris winning the nomination if he stepped aside. Is the Democratic Party going to deny the nomination to the first woman, the first Black American, and the first South Asian American to be elected V.P.? Hard to see. These allies privately think Harris would struggle to pull moderate and swing voters, and would enhance Trump’s chances. (Harris “fares only one or two points worse than Biden in polls with margins of sampling error that are much larger than that,” The Washington Post found.) We’re told Democratic congressional leaders are one outside force that could bring pressure on Biden.

They’re getting calls and texts from panicked lawmakers who fear Biden’s weakness could cost the party House and Senate seats in November. “This is no longer about Joe Biden’s family or his emotions,” said an adviser in constant touch with the West Wing. “This is about our country. It’s an utter f***ing disaster that has to be addressed.” It’ll take a while for the oligarchy to process the stakes, this adviser argued, “but there will be a reckoning.” Biden insiders are already finding it easier than many realized to rationalize staying in. They argue: Yes, he had a poor debate performance. But Biden also can dial up vigorous appearances like he did in Raleigh on Friday afternoon. That behind-the-scenes juxtaposition plays out daily: Sometimes he’s on his game, sharper than people would think, and quicker on his feet. But often it’s the Biden you saw on the debate stage: tired, slow, halting. Top Democrats saw what America saw live, on national TV, vividly and unforgettably. They can’t unsee it. And they fear voters won’t unsee it.

No longer can they blame critics or edited footage or media exaggeration. Every misstep, verbal hiccup or frozen face will zip across social media and TV, reminding voters Biden will be 86 years old at the end of his second term. “They need to tell him the absolute truth about where he is,” said a well-known Democrat who often talks to the president. “Loyalty doesn’t mean blind loyalty.” “Candidates for House, Senate, governor, state legislature are going to be in survival mode,” the well-known Democrat added. “They’re not going to go down with the ship. And the ship is in a bad place.” Some Biden family members are digging in — squinting at overnight polls for signs that undecided voters moved Biden’s way because of Trump statements at the debate.

“They know it was a disaster,” said a source close to the family. “But they think there’s a glimmer of survival/hope.” In a Biden campaign memo, “Independent Voters Move to Biden in Debate,” officials wrote: “Based on research we conducted during [the] debate, it is clear that the more voters heard from Donald Trump, the more they remembered why they dislike him.” Biden — bolstered by a tweet from former President Obama (”Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know”) — sounds like he wants to stick it out. “When you get knocked down, you get back up,” Biden said to applause, reading from a teleprompter during a rally Friday at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds. “Folks, I don’t walk as easy as I used to. I don’t speak as smoothly as I used to. I don’t debate as well as I used to. But ... I know how to tell the truth.” The public backing of former presidents and current members of Congress says little about Biden’s future. Most know him too well and for too long to humiliate him in public. Instead, if he decides to go, it’ll follow private conversations with them — then a decision with this oligarchy. Remember, it’s under eight weeks until Biden is ratified as the official nominee. That’s the clock to watch.

James Carville — the “Ragin’ Cajun” who masterminded Bill Clinton’s first presidential campaign in 1992, and now is a frequent TV pundit — will be 80 in October. He told us that if he appeared like Biden did during the debate, he’d want to be pulled off the tube. “I never thought this was a nifty idea,” Carville said of Biden’s run. He said there are few people the president really listens to: “He doesn’t have advisers. He has employees.” When we pressed Carville on whether he thinks Biden will be off the ticket by Election Day, he said he thinks so. He invoked a famous quote by the late economist Herb Stein, which Carville paraphrased as: “That which can’t continue … won’t.”

The Republicans swore they would never abandon Nixon—until they turned on him.

*********
There is still a difference.

Starting with the Nixon Watergate “take down” and ending with Romney voting to remove the 45th President.

We Republicans are use to Judas Republicans because it’s the norm, the democrats aren’t and their propaganda outlets have no experience with “maverick democrats” because they’ve never existed in the recent political past.

They did the same thing in 2020.

Joe was already talking to dead people and unaware of the position he was campaigning.

DNC has no worries about all of this. They’re pretty sure that they can turn in 90 million or more Biden ballots this time around.

But he still shouldn’t be running the country. He’s too sick.
