These major media outlets have called for Biden to drop out
The Hill ^ | 6/30/24 | Nick Robertson

Some of the country’s largest media outlets have called on President Biden to step aside and allow another Democrat to take on former President Trump in November, following the president’s concerning debate performance last week.

Biden’s first debate performance raised alarms among some Democrats and supporters, with the president struggling to string ideas together or rebut Trump’s many false statements. Almost half of Democrats in a new poll say Biden should allow a different candidate to take the party’s nomination.

Here are the major outlets that have called on Biden to drop out of the race.

The New York Times

The New Yorker

The Economist

Chicago Tribune

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Other newspapers weren’t as direct. Both The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal editorial boards said bowing out should be seriously considered by the president, though neither went as far as to explicitly recommend it.

They may try to pivot back to supporting Biden if they’re unable to get him to step aside, but they can’t put the genie back in the bottle.

R & D are false masks fronts, false pretenses, for the same agendas, minus a few carrots thrown out for the gullible. Zero checks and balance from the original Executive Branch, ZERO.

The Media is now owned and controlled by these False Pretenses.

Trump, brings back the original Executive Branch Piwer, checks literally these powers, (as did Reagan).

These are the Storm Fronts.

They’ll change their tune as directed. As usual.

But the New York Times says for him to quit and usually the rest of the media and other Democrats just follow along. See Tagline.

Interesting..

THE MEDIA wants Biden GONE because THEY are the ones who have to cover for his sorry arse and their viewers now know they're LYING THROUGH THEIR TEETH.

THE DEM POLITICIANS want Biden to STAY because OBAMA WANTS HIS FOURTH TERM AND ANY OTHER CANDIDATE MIGHT NOT ALLOW TEAM OBAMA TO TELL HIM OR HER WHAT TO DO !

Biden IS an actor and con artist. And he’s also a megalomaniac..... completely absorbed with himself.

Which is why he showed up at the debate completely impaired. He actually thinks he can do no wrong.

Biden seriously misjudged the effects of his debate con. The televised images viewed by 50 million that showed a diminished Biden, open mouthed, blankly staring, freezing-up, talking nonsense, will live long past his presidency.


Reference: Megalomaniacs are pathological egotists with delusions of grandeur and an obsession with power, convinced of their absolute power and greatness. Self-centered and overconfident they want to control the world.

They can if the donors dry up immediately, he’ll be forced to.

The plan:

* Move the debate ahead of usual schedule
* Use the debate to test Joe, if he competes ok then fine...the fraud machine and media can push ‘them’ (those actually in control) over the line
* If he fails...
* Media narrative must be ready to go, he must resign. Done.
* All major donors get ‘the message’
* Donations dry up
* Biden is FORCED to exit race
* Kamala isn’t the choice
* Michelle would never do it, besides being completely unqualified, the Obama’s don’t have shine across independents and blacks that they used to
* Newsome or Whitmer - place bets!

The delegates are pledgrd to Biden.

So either Biden continues as the candidate or he does not.

If he withdraws prior to or at the Convention ,then there is an “Open” Convention which will nominate the new candidate.

If he withdraws AFTER the Convention, then the new candidate will be selected by the DNC.

But, then there is Ohio!

The DNC already had their “virtual” Convention, I believe, from which President Biden had been named the candidate. This allows for the candidate(s) to be named prior to the date necessary for candidate names to be included on state ballots (Repub Convention is being held in advance of that date, Dem Convention after)

Any candidate named out of the Dem Convention, or afterwards, will not/cannot be included on the Ohio ballot.

This presents quite the pickle.

It was astonishing to me to see that CNN behaved themselves this time.

_________________________________________________

And why would they do this? Answer: To show the world how mentally pathetic Biden is. They really want Newsom, Whitmer or someone else.

They are not dropping out. I expect massive resignations this week. The heat will be intolerable for the Bidens.

That explains why WCCO in MN is doing damage control.
They are very worried about MN.
The student voters are considering staying home because of Gaza.
The Jewish voters are considering the same thing.
This is a sizable portion of their base in MN.

Seems like a stretch but it is possible.

Don’t listen to them, Joe! They’re lying, dog-faced pony soldiers! You’re a fighter! Keep soldiering on ‘til November 5. Even if they won’t nominate you, go third party.
