WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden spent more than a week in meetings and on phone calls addressing Democrats’ concerns about his candidacy with a positive, conciliatory message about his path forward. At times, he even sounded contrite about his uneven debate performance, which prompted calls for him to suspend his re-election campaign.

He took blunt questions about his mental acuity in stride. He smiled through suggestions from allies that he take a cognitive test or consider allowing someone younger to take his place on the Democratic ticket. He agreed that his supporters have legitimate concerns and promised to show them he’s up for the rigor of a presidential campaign and another four years in the White House.

Then he’d had enough.

In the past few days, Biden has started to privately convey a new message to Democrats: The conversation about my future is over, and I’m getting irritated that you’re not realizing that. Biden has called several prominent allies individually to tell them to spread the word.

“We think we’ve got a good plan to fight through this,” a senior Biden aide said.

Nearly three weeks since his rocky debate performance that shook his party, Biden is intent on shutting down dissent among Democrats in order to move forward and focus on defeating Donald Trump. And after hearing out his critics, he’s tightening his circle to those he‘s relied on the longest — and who support his path ahead.

Biden’s thinning patience for questions about his candidacy were on display as he campaigned Friday in Detroit telling a large, effusive crowd: “You made me the nominee. No one else. Not the press, not the pundits, not the insiders, not donors.” …

No this is more akin to Hitler in the Bunker in 1945 moving his imaginary armies around on the maps. Dr. Jill is a modern day Eva Broun and Hunter is Fegelein his aide. Dr. Goebeles has been reincarnated as a Black Lesbian.

The Deep State tried to kill President Trump, and failed. Does anyone think they wouldn't go with plan "B" and cause Old Joe to "pass away"?

Should have been plan "A". Blame it on the Republicans. Ramp up massive gun control immediately.

Too late, Joe. One does not conquer an earthquake merely by ignoring or threatening it.

The Democrats are in total disarray. Complete lack of leadership and focus. I find it fascinating. They’re usually like the Borg.

I’d send old Joe some ball bearings. But I don’t have the address.

Good analogy! But please don't compare Eva Braun to Jill Biden. Jill is much more evil.
Eva was a simpleton who thought she was "in love". She was naive and made of fluff.

Jill Biden is an Evil Dragon Lady, whose claw nails are painted with poison.

He wants to pardon Hunter so he is going to ride this train to the end of the tracks even if it costs the house and senate.

Why do people keep saying that? He can pardon Hunter right now even preemptively.

I’ve thought the same thing. He doesn’t know what meds he takes so it would be easy to give him a “sleeping pill”.
