If This Story Is True, Then Joe Biden Was Deposed in a Coup

If this story is true, and it’s a big what if, then Joe Biden has been deposed in a coup that’s reminiscent of banana republics. The problem is the sourcing: the story appears to be written by Seymour Hersh. Hersh isn’t a fake news peddler, though his stories often rely on anonymous sources, so much cannot be verified. For those who don’t know, Hersh has written for The New Yorker and The New York Times. He won a Pulitzer for his reporting on the Mai Lai Massacre during the Vietnam War. Hersh may have a liberal bias, but he’s not overall a conspiracy theorist, at least not in the vein of someone like Louise Mensch, a former member of the UK Parliament, who went totally off the deep end during the Russian collusion hoax.

Hersh’s pervasive use of anonymous sources has given many an editor heartburn. Still, this story also is grounded since Joe Biden was facing pressure from all angles to step aside following his disastrous June 27 debate. His polling began to crater, placing states like Virginia in play. Donors withheld their cash; Hill Democrats poured out, calling the president to step aside. The dam finally broke during the Republican National Convention. Still, Biden remained entrenched even though he was looking at a Jimmy Carter-style loss if he stayed. At this point, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Hakeem Jeffries increased their campaign to nudge the president into quitting. Barack Obama was already working behind the scenes to force Biden to exit the race, which brings us to this piece of palace intrigue: Obama called Joe saying that he got the go-ahead from Kamala to invoke the 25th Amendment. Hersh noted that Obama dropped this bomb at breakfast time on July 21. Hours later, Biden would quit the race:

“Of course, the most obvious evidence missed is that Biden was clearly installed by a coup. Why wouldn’t he be removed by one?”

That is exactly like a homebreaker being surprised that her husband cheated on her with a second homebreaker. Frankly, it is to be expected.

If we really were as vulnerable as you fear, wouldn’t an “attack” already ave occurred? The window of opportunity has closed.

OK, if you say so.

Oh wait, we still have inept military and civilian leadership and the border invasion has already taken place. They are in without firing a shot...yet.

Maybe I'll still worry.

Laura Loomer reported about Biden’s medical emergency in Las Vegas and the usual crowd of FReppers attacked her even though she wasn’t the primary source.

Well, she was right. As she usually is.

Obama has no authority to envoys 25A
And I doubt congress would’ve tried it
And I doubt Biden would’ve agreed to cooperate (thus, staying in office through the election)

And Biden got the last laugh by immediately endorsing Harris, making it impossible for them to bypass their DEI hire in an open convention for someone else not as radical.

Exactly. Endorsing Heels-Up was basically Dr. Jill's FU to Obama. I say "Dr. Jill" because I doubt Brandon's got the mental acuity to think past his next pudding cup.

I think it was Naomi Wolf’s Substack “Lady Mc Biden” that actually sent the cockroaches scurrying. Two weeks on, they’re still trying to keep the lights off in the investigation of the assassination plot.

Biden’s only job was to make up stories to tell the Idiots in front of Cameras.

And Joe loves nothing more.

Rowe said one true thing. The operation was a failure. The question is just what was the operation? Keep Trump safe or . . .
