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.” …

She should threaten the 25th on Joe Biden.
But she's best known for being Willie Brown's mistress.
They thought it would be better if Trump “passed away” than for Biden to. He has all the crooked money that they will never get their hands on without him, and they are sure they have some coming their way.
The people who are the lackeys in this business are selling their souls for a couple of martinis at a cocktail party with Obama and Clooney present.
I don’t think Kamala wants to be president for even a short time.
Most of the time she acts high or stoned and as POTUS she wouldn’t be able to do it. A stoner and being as dumb as a rock isn’t a good combination.
Then she'll probably want to lose in November.
Angry old codger is a good look for Joe.
“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.”
And Hunter is now right by his side to make sure dear old Dad doesn’t go wobbly on him. It’s both beautiful and terrifying all at the same time.

I guess Biden’s chief of Staff.
A vote for Biden is essentially a vote for Kamala.
It sure is.
Yes. And she knows she’d lose.
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”?
I’m actually worried about both of them. Appears that Secret Service has gone woke. Everything Joe touches goes to Hell.
He and the good doctor are troubled and suffering. Good. Your legacy will be your losing your mind and going down to catastrophic defeat. Couldn’t happen to nicer people
Hermann Fegelein was Hitler’s nemesis. Der Fuhrer had him shot.
Hunter is Martin Borman.
Put a lot of the blame on Congressman Clyburn. He's the one who pumped him up when he was going nowhere in 2020 (?).
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth," Mike Tyson said.
Fegelin was also married to Eva Braun’s sister
Lady Macbeth.
Joe wants to wait for the other Hunter Trial to conclude to see if he needs to pardon that conviction too.
Trump could get Tyson and Holyfield and the three could do a show about ears.
