White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race because “our democracy is at stake.”
Jean-Pierre said, “What we saw from this president in the last couple days was a human decency, a good man, someone who decided not to put himself first –like we’ve seen before — but to put the American people first and this country first.”
She continued, “I would also say folks who have not seen the letter that he penned on Sunday and shared and released, you should. I think the letter, if you read it thoroughly, there’s no spin to it. There’s no spin. He truly believed it was the right thing to do in this moment. He truly believe that it was the right thing to do for this country — I’m a little emotional — the right thing to do for this country, the American people, is to give it to someone who is incredibly qualified, right? He said, he said himself the reason why he picked Vice President Kamala Harris is because he believed that she would be ready to lead from day one. And so he believed she was the right person to take over the campaign. And she is. And while all of us, it was hard for many of us, we are incredibly proud of this president. We trust his leadership. We trust his judgment. And we’re just going to continue to be behind him as he continues to lead this country.

She has a reprobate mind according to Romans 1:24-28.
Persistent lying comes naturally to her these days.
Now this is comical.
More calls to kill Trump.
“Democracy is at stake, so we decided to disregard the entire primary process and have a couple thousand Democrat convention delegates decide who our candidate is. After all, democracy isn’t just about voting. It’s about the accumulation of power and the protection of unaccountable bureaucrats who actually run things...or something.”
If this is Democracy, what about the millions of voters in the primaries?
No. He dropped out because the assassination attempt on Trump failed them.
The muppet clown talking about “folks” again.
Democracy. Another way to spell Barackian politics.
The Resigning Biden Will Earn More in
Retirement than He Did as President
Double dipping payout of $413,000 annual
The National Taxpayers Union Foundation (NTUF) calculated the total pension that President Joe Biden will receive whenever he leaves the White House in a new issue brief by Demian Brady, Vice President of Research for NTUF. Biden’s career in Congress, combined with his tenure as Vice President and President, means he will receive an annual pension of $413,000 of taxpayer dollars. His salary as president is $400,000.
President Biden is entitled to a pension as the result of the Former Presidents Act of 1958, which was enacted after concerns about the financial situation of Harry Truman. Joe Biden’s net worth is currently estimated at $9 million.
Once Biden leaves office taxpayers will provide a Congressional pension of $166,000 with annual cost-of-living adjustments and an executive branch pension equal to a cabinet secretary which is $246,400 in 2024.
In the new issue brief Brady writes: Joe Biden represents a unique situation. With his long tenure in Congress and subsequent years as Vice President and President, Joe Biden stands to benefit significantly from both systems, potentially receiving a combined payout starting at around $413,000. Lawmakers should re-examine this loophole that allows for double-dipping in two different yet generous pension programs.
Unfortunately, there are currently no limits within each pension program that would curtail the taxpayer-funded benefit afforded to the elite few who have accrued substantial pension benefits in both the legislative and executive branch, in addition to their personal wealth.

I am so sick of the term “our democracy” when will the Republicans start telling people we don’t have a democracy, but a representative republic.
A democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what to have for lunch.
They think it means the rule of Democrats.
biden dropping out was against democracy. dem voter majority voted for him to run, not any one else and he just disregarded that in stepping down.
I truly believe he has been unfit to serve since before 2020, but if he was all in a week or so ago then, all of a sudden, need to step down for democracy sake=bs.
The court jester appears and performs.
The rotting fish stinks really really bad.
Biden was forced out because the socialist / Communist pseudo-intellectuals who have been trying to subvert the US for at least 90 years are afraid that all their subterfuge and hateful stupidity will be overturned.
They mean saving the institutions of “Our Democracy”.
Like the current instantiation of the DoJustus and the FIB.
Those who run those institutions are the ones who vote on how the Nation goes forward.
The votes of The People matter not.
So the “cheapfake” stuff was last month’s pack of lies?
From their point of view you’re definitely right.
From a normal non insane point of view, nope. ;)
