President Biden held a “tense” Zoom call with dozens of moderate Democrats that was “even worse than the debate” — less than an hour before the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.

In one particularly testy exchange, sources recalled Biden ripping into Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.) after the congressman had asked him about the importance of national security to voters.

The 25th amendment is relatively easy to initiate. Since no dems are willing to do so, you have to wonder who would answer the phone at 3AM? If these people can't stand up against one old woman in the best interest of America,

1. Secure the silverware. It's probably disappearing as we sit here.

2. Eliminate all pensions for government employees, immediately, and retroactive. Let them claim social security instead.

3. Impose a 20% "government position net wealth accumulator tax" on anybody in elected federal positions or any government position that requires congressional approval.

The buzz is lawmakers who spoke to Axios about the “New Democrats” phone call to Biden said:
<><>they found Biden’s answers unsatisfying
<><>they are less assured about his path to victory than they were coming into the call.
<><>He had no answer to questions about his electability.
<><>He seemed oblivious to the polling that shows him losing swing states.
<><>He didn’t want to hear it ...
<><>He didn’t try to reassure anyone.
<><>He took no responsibility,” one said.
<><>upshot? a statement calling for Biden to withdraw is “under consideration”
<><>the phone call “probably” makes it more likely they will release it.

It depends upon the law.

For example, Delaware recording law stipulates that it is a two-party consent state. In Delaware it is a criminal offense to use any device to record communications, whether they are wire, oral or electronic, without the consent of all parties taking part in the communication.
This means that in Delaware you are not legally allowed to record a conversation you are taking part in unless all parties are in agreement. Del. Code Ann. tit. 11, § 1335(a)(4).

I don’t know if you can record someone in Delaware if you are physically in a one-party municipality. For example, The District of Columbia’s wiretapping law is a “one-party consent” law. DC makes it a crime to record a phone call or conversation unless one party to the conversation consents. See D.C. Code § 23-542. Thus, if you operate in DC, you may record a conversation or phone call if you are a party to the conversation or you get permission from one party to the conversation in advance. That said, if you intend to record conversations involving people located in more than one state, you should play it safe and get the consent of all parties.

Pension apartheid should be eliminated.

I thought he got bored with the hard nature of questions that he couldn’t answer so he made up a reason he had to skip.

> The Sept. debate will be telling. <

Joe’s inner circle (Jill, Hunter, and a few others) would be crazy to let Joe participate in another debate. So a few days before the debate, just announce that Joe has Covid, and must postpone the debate. Of course, “postpone” here means postpone forever.

The mainstream media would probably buy it.

It will be a miracle if he is still here in September to do a debate, but will be telling of where we are heading. I see God all over this.

It’s comical. The brazen Puppet actually thinks he has no strings.

Kermit the Frog (in the White House) doesn’t realize that he’s not supposed to think for himself and only do what he’s told.

If Biden continues this way, the puppet masters will not change his diapers. They will leave him on stage with his soiled underwear. /spit

Hey, geniuses! You’re the ones who nominated a guy you knew had dementia last time. Knowing he was a lot worse, you fixed the primaries so as to do it again. You thought lawfare was a grand idea to take down your opponent. Sorry, but not too much sympathy as you reap what you sowed

The man can’t think straight. He’s gone before the convention.

“Maybe Beau Biden is not the only one in the US Army to get a bronze star for just showing up, but that is not supposed to be the requirement.”

I knew a Colonel who got a Bronze Star in GW 1 - without the V for Valor. It was an administrative award to set him up to make General (which he did). I have some familiarity (secondhand) with his performance in combat and...he was despised as a coward and fool.

His Bronze Star was filling a promotion square. I’d bet everything I’ve got Beau Biden was the same.

Just looked it up on Wiki:

“The Bronze Star Medal (BSM) is a United States Armed Forces decoration awarded to members of the United States Armed Forces for either heroic achievement, heroic service, meritorious achievement, or meritorious service in a combat zone.

When the medal is awarded by the Army, Air Force, or Space Force for acts of valor in combat, the “V” device is authorized for wear on the medal....”

Imagine being under stress by knowing what you okayed and the getting these questions. Biden’s mind doesn’t seem to be able to function under stress.

There’s a theory going around that they’ve resigned themselves to losing to Trump this time and, rather than “waste” a “better” candidate, they’ll just let Sloppy Joe limp to defeat and blame their loss on him, rather than their policies

I've heard that theory too, but I'm not sure what to think of it. On the one hand, the Democrats never concede anything, no matter how bad their candidate is. On the other hand, removing Biden from the top of the tickets leaves them with the problem of what to do about Kamala, who would also lead them to certain defeat. If the Biden/Harris ticket goes down in flames in November, they're both out of the picture, with the Dems hoping to checkmate Trump by winning the House and the Senate.

I 100% don't believe that. They know Biden will lose, they are going forward with a 2 part agenda. 1) Work on any possibility of replacing him with kamala. 2) escalating their attacks on Trump in all ways.

“Tell me who did something that you’ve never done with your Bronze Star like my son.”

Can someone tell me what that sentence means?

All I can picture is the standard “Hitler Rant”, except it is filled with “Come on, man! You know... the thing!” And all those Nasties in the video exchanging glances, everyone scared to call out Der Furer as a maniac.
