White House Report Card: Backstabbing rages in plots to replace Biden
Washington Examiner ^ | June 1, 2024 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 06/03/2024 6:28:59 AM PDT by george76

Joe Biden fighting off a new round of consultant backstabbing over his reelection campaign and continued efforts to replace him at the top of the 2024 Democrat ticket.

Democrat pollster and grader John Zogby described the battle as shameful and said that the “consultant-industrial complex” is in full panic mode months too early and at a time when they should be rallying around the president. What’s more, Zogby said that they are worrying for nothing, considering that some polls show Biden still tied with former President Donald Trump.

...

The White House was socked again by a report that inflation was not cooling but remaining above the Fed’s 2% goal. And Biden offered up yet another Gaza peace plan without first winning any support from Israel.

Even worse, said conservative grader Jed Babbin, the administration’s efforts in Gaza turned disastrous when its $320 million humanitarian aid pier broke apart in a storm, what he called “the perfect metaphor for the Biden administration.”

Grade: C+

...

keeps drawing imaginary red lines for Israel to not cross in Rafah, where Israel crosses them with U.S. weapons, and then new red lines have to be drawn. Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken have given Israel more red lines than a “Where’s Waldo” shirt. They have also given “approval” to Ukraine to use American weapons to attack inside Russia’s border, threatening a full-scale NATO war.

And ’tis the season for backstabbing from the consultant-industrial complex. Usually, these folks express doom in October and privately throw in the towel so they can (1) avoid blame for a loss, and (2) position themselves for the next lucrative loss. But, hell now, in May? They are talking about how to remove Biden from the ticket. That never works for the consultant class.

As for the Trump convictions, it comes at a time when the two candidates are at parity, so I expect him to drop a few points, especially among independents and suburban moms in the short term, giving Biden a small lead going into next week.

Jed Babbin

Grade D-

Joe Biden thinks he won the week simply by the expedient of former President Donald Trump having been convicted by a New York City jury. Biden said that “no one is above the law.” Really? Not even Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton or first son Hunter Biden?

As Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) pointed out, Biden engaged in what is pretty clearly witness tampering in the coming Hunter trial, with his sudden visit to Hallie Biden — late son Beau’s wife before she became Hunter’s mistress — who is scheduled to testify in the trial of Hunter on violating gun laws. If Biden didn’t try to persuade her to help clear Hunter, I’ll eat my hat.

Both Biden and Kamala Harris said that the late George Floyd, who died in police custody four years ago on May 25, “changed the world.” Alexander Graham Bell, the Wright Brothers, and Guglielmo Marconi changed the world. George Floyd’s death won’t be a footnote in the history books.

Inflation remains stubbornly high, and the Fed is talking about raising interest rates again to try to slow the overheated inflation.

In the rest of the world, Biden has given permission to Ukrainian forces to use U.S.-made weapons in strikes inside Russia, which only raises the risk of World War III. Ireland, Spain, and Norway recognized a “Palestinian state” with borders on the pre-1967 war lines and a joint Israeli-Palestinian “capital” of Jerusalem.

Perhaps the worst thing Biden did this week was attempt to persuade Britain and France not to censure Iran at the June meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Biden is turning a blind eye to Iran’s progress to nuclear weapons. Iran has enough enriched uranium to build about five nukes in weeks. And Biden is protecting Iran from even the mild nudge the IAEA could do. Biden’s envoys are also trying to talk Iran out of more escalation in its wars against Israel and the rest of civilization.

And the perfect metaphor for the Biden administration is that its $320 million pier off the Gaza Strip totally failed. Almost all of the relief it passed into Gaza (which wasn’t a significant amount anyway) was stolen by Hamas terrorists. And then the pier broke apart in high winds. Joe hasn’t said if he’s going to rebuild it. He probably remembers passing over the Gaza pier on a commuter train.

Democrats should go ahead and pull the trigger on replacing Biden, because, no matter who they have as the presidential candidate, that person will pull in the automatic 47% that will never vote republican, and then, with their loyal fraudulent votes, they can carry anybody to victory. Biden was/is a nobody, and he still ‘won’. Democrats could nominate a Jeffrey Dahmer for president, and Dahmer could win.

The only way Biden will be removed from the ballot is by death, huge stroke or massive heart attack.The globalists do not have an electable replacement and will ride this lame horse mercilessly.

What hadn’t “biden” naccomplished that “they” want?

His only opponent is headed to jail for 34 crimes nearly as serious as a traffic violation.

And somehow “he” is struggling? I don’t want sound conspiratorial or paranoid..but Is it possible that all the rumors about him are true. From corruption..pathological liar..showered with daughter at an inappropriate age..pervert..and all around a-holes of the universe?

I think the idea is that once they “got” Trump, they will go after Biden.

Biden has far too much pride to ever step aside. He believes he is still the smartest person in the room, no matter what room he walks into and the dementia has not phased him in the slightest. I’ve seen this play out before in family.

Most polls show Trump ahead, but a couple show them tied. And polls historically have underrepresented Trump voters. So the reality is that Trump is ahead by a decent but not huge margin.

The Democrats know how to play the game.

They just have to cheat.

They have to bus in paid actors for Biden rallies.

They are just putting on a show for us.

The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate will cheat to ensure that Biden wins.

Unless he dies.

And they have prepared for that.

They have stolen and stashed away billions of US Taxpayer dollars to see them through four years of a Trump Administration.

California didn’t just “lose” $24,000,000,000 of unemployment money and $24,000,000,000 of homeless money.

That’s $48,000,000,000 stolen and stashed away in just two instances in one location.

Those thieving little Democrat squirrels have stashed away loads of hard earned America Taxpayer dollars to carry them through four years of a Trump Administration.

And the Democrat press and courts will constantly attack Trump to keep him from recovering that stolen money.

Not sure about that. They like a demented, helpless figurehead like Biden if for no other reason that he's very easily controlled. Jill and his loyal staff may try to hold things together, but the Deep State knows that they don't have to apply much pressure to those folks to get exactly what they want every time.

Not quite true. They will pull in the loyal Dem base, but if they nominate an unpalatable option, they may lose independents. For instance, if they nominate Maxine Waters, independents will run for the hills.
