In Calling For Biden To Cancel His Campaign, Democrats And Co. Show Their Moral Bankruptcy

In Calling For Biden To Cancel His Campaign, Democrats And Co. Show Their Moral Bankruptcy

It is not Trump who represents a threat to our country but those who seek to supplant the choice of the people and the Constitution.

Since Joe Biden’s disastrous debate two weeks ago, the country has witnessed a crazed spectacle as the Biden administration, the left, and the press scrambled to control the narrative. For the first time in at least a decade, however, there was no agreed-upon solution to the problem of Biden.

There was nonetheless one unified message: Donald Trump is an existential threat to our democracy. Yet the fallout from Biden’s dementia-laced performance reveals that the true existential threat to America comes from Trump’s enemies, not the former president.

Anti-Democracy Democrats

Consider, for instance, the calls for Joe Biden to step down as the Democrat candidate for president, which began even before the first lady helped her husband down the steps of the CNN stage in Atlanta. Those urging the president to abandon his reelection campaign frame the issue at hand as Biden’s inability to effectively campaign and defeat Trump in November. They raise no concerns over Biden’s continued service as commander-in-chief, however.

To replace Biden on the November ballot would require the DNC to disregard its primary voters who selected the president as their candidate of choice, and that is after the party purposefully kept Robert F. Kennedy Jr. off the primary ballot. It would be one thing to put aside the outcome of the primary because the party concluded Biden can’t serve as commander-in-chief. But no Democrats seem to be taking that position. All they care about is beating Trump.

That theme remained paramount even two weeks into the scandal. Frankly, it is quite shocking to see a stream of Democrats parading before the cameras and calling for Biden to quit the race, yet hypocritically ignoring his inability to continue serving as president.

Wednesday offered a perfect illustration of this bizarre juxtaposition when longtime DNC booster George Clooney proclaimed the party should replace Biden on the ticket. Significantly, Clooney said that “the president he saw at a fundraiser in June ‘was the same man we all witnessed at the debate.’”

And what we all witnessed at the debate was a man incapable of executing the duties of the president of the United States! Yet Clooney made no call for Biden to step down as president.

Every member of the Biden administration saw often and in close quarters the reality Clooney witnessed last month. Yet rather than use the procedures provided for in the 25th Amendment, they opt to run the presidency for Biden — another gross attack on America’s constitutional republic.

Biden backers are no better, for they too recognize the incapacity of the president and justify retaining him at the top of the ticket merely because they believe he represents their best chance to defeat Trump in the general election. But if elected, Biden will be nothing but a figurehead, with the unknown permanent political class running the executive branch in his stead.

Corrupt Media

The press’s response to Biden’s crumbling on the Atlanta stage is equally appalling — not because they ignored what every American saw but because they pretended the president and his handlers deceived them about Biden’s condition. And make no mistake: The media haven’t found journalism. Rather, the legacy press’s current harsh coverage of Biden serves only to force Democrats to replace him on the ticket before it is too late.

Two weeks before the debate, the media had no qualms about lying to Americans about Biden’s mental capacity, peddling the narrative that evidence of his cognitive condition was a cheap fake. Only after an abysmal 90-minute exhibition by the president — which made it impossible for the press to continue to hide the truth — did coverage change. Even then, the legacy press refused to provide balanced coverage of the debate, which would have presented Biden as both incompetent and a liar. Instead, the corporate media framed Biden as a cognitively challenged truth-teller, while branding even pure puffery by Trump as lies.

Watching the legacy media finally challenge Democrats over Biden’s condition provides a stark reminder that the press hasn’t been doing its job of truth-telling for a long time. On the contrary, over the last eight years, the corrupt media have interfered in our elections and the governance of our elected officials, from pushing the Russia hoax to framing the Hunter Biden laptop as disinformation, and everything in between. The free press of generations past has become a propaganda arm of the Democrat Party, and self-government is suffering as a result.

Bad Bureaucrats

Democrats are not the only ones partnering with the press to obstruct the will of the American people: The hordes of bureaucrats controlling the three branches of government are equally complicit.

In New York, we saw a conflicted state court judge enter ruling upon ruling against Donald Trump, leading to his conviction on trumped-up criminal charges — charges that allow Democrats to now brand the Republican as a convicted felon. And that is only one of the many cases targeting the former president to keep him out of the White House. Prosecuting political enemies is the stuff of banana republics, not our great republic.

Before that and during his time in office, the FBI and intelligence agencies sought to oust Trump, with another bureaucrat launching the first impeachment canard based on a call between the commander-in-chief and Ukraine. Those opposing the duly elected 45th president took such pride in their attacks on the man Americans choose to lead our country that they self-identified as “the resistance.”

Other bureaucrats conspired with social media companies to silence Trump and his supporters. And current and former members of intelligence agencies conspired with the Biden campaign to deceive the American public the month before the 2020 election that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation.

It is not Trump who represents an existential threat to our country but those who seek to supplant the choice of the people and the Constitution and rule the country according to their own predilections. In other words, it’s Democrats, the corrupt media, and the vast bureaucratic apparatus controlling our elections.

I don’t have that much of a problem with Biden delegates changing their mind due to new information.

Two problems:

1. Everyone who observed Biden knew that he was already in deep cognitive decline in 2020 and before.

2. How can it be that he is not good enough to head the ballot but is good enough to run the Executive Branch of the U.S. government, including the nuclear football?

Many are calling for him to drop out of the race. Almost none are calling for him to resign.

Because Biden is not far left enough, not because he is old and incompetent.

If he’s too old, feeble and senile to CAMPAIGN, then he’s too old, feeble and senile to be President, ergo he MUST RESIGN IMMEDIATELY!...................

This is why he is hanging on despite the widespread “Dump Biden” movement,

The funny part... They’re calling him incompetent and in a week or two they’ll be standing on stage with him, and extolling his virtues. LOL

The Dumocrats and the supporters have no shame. Just ask Bill and Hillary Clinton.

MOral BAnkruptcy.


Folks,

In the past, we have had enough GOOD to overcome EVIL,

That is the real test of our nation.

Do we have enough good to overcome all the evil?

Do something, get involved, don’t just criticize Trump because he is not nice. A warrior looks exactly like a wolf, the only difference is the heart. Looks at Trumps heart. MAGA should speak LOUDLY to you.

We live in a very competitive world.

Even nations that are deemed “friendly” to us compete for wealth and control with us.

Nations all over the world have found the weak spot in America’s armor…..

The Democrat Party.

Why spend hundred of billions of dollars fighting and competing with The United States when you can spend a few billion dollars bribing The Democrat Party Crime Families (Schumer, Pelosi, Clinton, Obama, Soros, etc…) to bribe and influence The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate (unions, the press, government bureaucrats, social cause lackeys, etc…) to carry out your will against The United States.

These Same Democrat Party Crime Families and The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate also steal from the American Taxpayers.

There is one way they could force him to get out, but it would take some sabotage. Have his writers give him a speech to make where he is criticizing those calling for him to resign. Have him complain about those naggers. Now, in the script for the teleprompter, replace the a with an i. We all know he just reads what is up there. Once he reads that he is toast.

Biden fundraising takes major hit from debate fallout
Possibly downticket Dems also getting stiffed?

President Joe Biden’s campaign has already suffered a major slowdown in donations and officials are bracing for a seismic fundraising hit, with fallout from a debate nearly two weeks ago taking a sizable toll on operations, according to four sources close to the re-election effort.

“It’s already disastrous,” one of the sources close to Biden’s re-election said of fundraising. “The money has absolutely shut off” to the Biden campaign, another source close to Biden’s re-election said. Two of the sources said this month is on a path to be down by possibly half — “or much more,” one of them said — from large donors alone. (Excerpt) Read more at nbcnews.com ..

Fervently hope that the demented, corrupt Biden remains the Democrat candidate for President. With him leading the ticket it is a once in a lifetime opportunity to decimate the Democratic Party. The Democrat Party, its liberal billionaires , mindless progressive celebrities and the biased media have done grave harm to the American nation and its people. Unless they are severely defeated and removed from power and influence, the American people will lose their freedom, liberty, wealth and heritage as these fiends impose globalism.

This is all Kabuki theater and a MASSIVE ORCHESTRATED DISTRACTION. To hide the fact the fix is in with the addition of millions of illegal alien names and phony addresses having been added to all state voting rolls nationwide. That’s what all the illegals being shipped around by airplane by the feds was all about. Remember those? So all the migrant centers receive their fair share of phony ballots to mail back in. The Democrat candidate will win the election no matter who the hell that turns out to be, and the Democrat Party damn well knows knows it.

The writer put into words what I've been thinking but couldn't quite focus it.
