It’s all about the convention. Gotta wait til then. After the convention, they can hand pick his replacement.
Yep, this is called, laying the groundwork.
I think it also depends on how Biden does during his “big Buy” press conference..are his aides banking on him to fail or are they gonna dope him up to make him look semi less senile..this press conference is gonna be WAY passed his bed time, is he gonna have a teleprompter to read from..even with his dementia or whatever the hell he has he can read from one
I hope Old Joe hangs in there longer, so we have a couple more weeks of chaos
In order to save democracy!
hmm, I thought several states need filings before the Dem convention this time around, thus the urgency to get him to bow out before then.
They’re getting worried they won’t be able to commit enough voter fraud for Joe against Trump to put him back in the White House, so they’ll want to make a change to a totally different candidate, and commit to as much voter fraud as needed to put their new candidate in office. Then they’ll claim their candidate won because of “new blood” beating old Trump.
Every Democrat in Congress could demand him to exit and he can just give them the finger...................
Joe’s seen how strong Trump has been standing up to lawfare and criticism. Stay strong Joe!
That’s an insult to Captain Pike!
😉
Pelosi sounded like a grandmother telling the kids “not to fight in front of company”; that this would all be settled when the foreigners left.
I thought what she was saying was very clear.
They keep saying, “Joe has to decide.” Joe isn’t deciding anything. You don’t ask grandpa if he would still like to drive the car. You take away his keys.
This will be done by the opening of the markets on Sunday night. If he screws the pooch tonight and doesn’t leave…there will be hell to pay for them next week.
Maybe he will wow everyone at the press conference. Maybe Jill will stop demanding to be called "Dr. Jill."
Yep, she deserves to be called President Jill.
Afer NATO?
They’re going to allow him to let another animal out of the barn? My how they eat their own. That seems to be a history in the Biden family with his uncle’s plane crash.

So, not the long knives will come out for Dementia Joe.
As things in Washington DC unfold, it is easy to lose sight of the forest due to the trees. A few obvious big picture items:
♦ First, why is Volodymyr Zelenskyy attending a NATO summit? Ukraine is not a part of NATO.
♦ Second, do not overlook the big picture.
While a NATO summit is happening in DC, Joe Biden is under the most intense political attack in his tenure, from his own administration. This does not happen without the approval of the deepest elements within the Deep State apparatus, the Intelligence Community.
There is no way the entirety of the system, which in this case is specifically the U.S. State Department and Intelligence Community, would normally be launching a full-frontal assault on the office of the presidency while international leaders are here.
This just isn’t done and represents a historic inflection point. So, we must ask what’s the background, motive and intent?
The obvious answer is that removing Joe Biden is seen as the best option for the DoS/IC. This perspective highlights the non-pretending reality that these institutions regard the November election as lost if Joe Biden remains their candidate.
The IC and Dept of State cannot have Donald Trump take control of their operation, especially since the recent Supreme Court ruling that affirmed a majority opinion using strong language consistent with the Unitary Executive theory of the Constitution.
The Supreme Court said, the President is “a person alone who comprises a branch of government.” [pdf, page 38] In essence, the president *IS* the Executive Branch, and all of the other various bureaucratic agents and agencies within it are under his unilateral “official act” control.
From my perspective, research and years of being in/around the silos which make up the intelligence apparatus, this Supreme Court ruling is THE MOTIVE behind their urgency to get rid of Joe Biden; not, I repeat NOT, the underlying dementia and cognitive incapacity of their president.
The IC doesn’t fear Biden’s mental health issue except for the fact that it now puts a stronger likelihood on President Trump taking back the office of the presidency. That office was just declared officially recognized by SCOTUS with the power and authority to deconstruct the IC. That’s the bigger issue, not Biden per se’.
To the extent that Joe Biden will lose the November election, in combination with the Supreme Court ruling, that confluence became the five-alarm fire that triggered the intense urgency of the IC to take immediate and aggressive action with extreme prejudice.
Watching every silo within those agencies now come out in support of Biden’s removal, which we see in the attacks during the NATO summit, while simultaneously the pretending politicians in the legislative branch are shouting “our democracy,” is a level of something well beyond hypocrisy.
Millions of Democrat voters have spoken, Biden is their candidate. However, when faced with their own demise, the apparatus of the government he represents now says, ‘WHOAH, WAIT A MINUTE, this is not okay for us.’ Now, this “our democracy” mask drops very publicly and the elements within the deepest part of the very dark Deep State say “no,” and reveal their true face.
The 6-3 opinion held that the President is “a person alone who comprises a branch of government.” This is important to understand.
The Executive Branch is the President.
As noted by reader Alex1689: […] Read the SCOTUS opinion, not from a point of view of apprehension about President Trump (he’ll be fine), but from the point of view of what does this allow him to do in his second term, and what straightjackets does it remove that were a threat during his first term?
To start, the court wrote about powers that carry with them core, absolute immunity, the exercise of which cannot come under question in any forum.
It specifically identified:
- Pardons
- Recognition of foreign governments
- Removal of executive branch officials.
If it can’t be questioned . . . It also cannot be the grounds for impeachment, can it?
Let’s repeat: If it’s a core power, the exercise of the core power cannot be grounds for impeachment (*except if done in connection with taking a bribe).
In his first term, there was the threat that if President Trump fired . . .
- Rosenstein
- Barr
- Fauci
That he would be prosecuted for obstruction of justice or impeached.
That threat is forever off the table now.
He can fire anyone he likes in the executive branch. The straightjacket is gone.
On that point, further, the majority opinion uses strong language consistent with the Unitary Executive theory of the Constitution. The President is “a person alone who comprises a branch of government.”
While there are areas of shared constitutional responsibility, the core powers of the Executive Branch, including personnel, are the President’s alone.
Boom.
While impeachment is a political process within the Legislative Branch, and the Supreme Court is extremely hesitant to overstep their role therein, the High Court did put this sentiment clearly into the opinion about immunity:
…“The President is not above the law. But Congress may not criminalize the President’s conduct in carrying out the responsibilities of the Executive Branch under the Constitution.”…
Congress may not criminalize the conduct of the President simply for carrying out his core executive branch duties.
Removal of Executive Branch officials is a core duty, an official act, carrying absolute immunity.
That newly affirmed reality is exactly why the Intelligence Community and the Lawfare crowd are very alarmed.
Then think about the scale of how everyone has jumped into action to cover up everything that happened during the tenure of Barack Obama and the targeting of Donald Trump. Think about the DOJ and FBI conduct, the Intelligence Community effort, the CIA, the DNI, everything that everyone did -in both political parties- in order to bury the reality of what took place using “their democracy.”
And now, the Supreme Court says that Godzilla Trump has full power of the executive branch, and the strongest likelihood is that Godzilla is going to arrive in November.
The DC Deep State is attacking Joe Biden during his NATO summit, and that summit is being held in Washington DC.
Put all of that together and you reach one fully contextualized scale of conclusion,
Joe’s gotta go!
