She has a reprobate mind according to Romans 1:24-28.

Persistent lying comes naturally to her these days.

“Democracy is at stake, so we decided to disregard the entire primary process and have a couple thousand Democrat convention delegates decide who our candidate is. After all, democracy isn’t just about voting. It’s about the accumulation of power and the protection of unaccountable bureaucrats who actually run things...or something.”

If this is Democracy, what about the millions of voters in the primaries?

No. He dropped out because the assassination attempt on Trump failed them.

The Resigning Biden Will Earn More in
Retirement than He Did as President
Double dipping payout of $413,000 annual

The National Taxpayers Union Foundation (NTUF) calculated the total pension that President Joe Biden will receive whenever he leaves the White House in a new issue brief by Demian Brady, Vice President of Research for NTUF. Biden’s career in Congress, combined with his tenure as Vice President and President, means he will receive an annual pension of $413,000 of taxpayer dollars. His salary as president is $400,000.

President Biden is entitled to a pension as the result of the Former Presidents Act of 1958, which was enacted after concerns about the financial situation of Harry Truman. Joe Biden’s net worth is currently estimated at $9 million.

Once Biden leaves office taxpayers will provide a Congressional pension of $166,000 with annual cost-of-living adjustments and an executive branch pension equal to a cabinet secretary which is $246,400 in 2024.

In the new issue brief Brady writes: Joe Biden represents a unique situation. With his long tenure in Congress and subsequent years as Vice President and President, Joe Biden stands to benefit significantly from both systems, potentially receiving a combined payout starting at around $413,000. Lawmakers should re-examine this loophole that allows for double-dipping in two different yet generous pension programs.

Unfortunately, there are currently no limits within each pension program that would curtail the taxpayer-funded benefit afforded to the elite few who have accrued substantial pension benefits in both the legislative and executive branch, in addition to their personal wealth.

If you would like to speak with NTUF Vice President of Research Demian Brady about presidential pension reform, please contact NTUF Communications Manager Courtney Manley at ntuf@ntu.org.

I am so sick of the term “our democracy” when will the Republicans start telling people we don’t have a democracy, but a representative republic.

A democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what to have for lunch.

biden dropping out was against democracy. dem voter majority voted for him to run, not any one else and he just disregarded that in stepping down.

I truly believe he has been unfit to serve since before 2020, but if he was all in a week or so ago then, all of a sudden, need to step down for democracy sake=bs.

Biden was forced out because the socialist / Communist pseudo-intellectuals who have been trying to subvert the US for at least 90 years are afraid that all their subterfuge and hateful stupidity will be overturned.

They mean saving the institutions of “Our Democracy”.

Like the current instantiation of the DoJustus and the FIB.

Those who run those institutions are the ones who vote on how the Nation goes forward.

The votes of The People matter not.

From their point of view you’re definitely right.

From a normal non insane point of view, nope. ;)
