At 7:16 pm on 20 July, the Joe Biden Twitter account posted that the upcoming election “is the most important … of our lifetimes” and said “I will win it.”
I know you don't go in for tin-foil hat theories, eugyppius, but my mantra has always been "when what you are being told does not make sense, you are being lied to."
So here goes: Biden is already dead. He has not been seen since last Wednesday. The signature on yesterday's letter does not even come close to matching those on the last 5 executive orders he signed. The are letting the dust settle from yesterday's blockbuster news--announced ON TWITTER(!)--until they announce the sad development of his untimely passing due to COVID.
Conveniently, the Ds can force unity by urging the warring factions to honor Biden's final wish that Harris succeed him on the ballot. Her stature as "president" adds to her inevitability as the D nominee.
Watch for it. I'll apologize later if incorrect.
EDIT: For those curious about the signature on yesterday's letter, have a look for yourselves and draw your own conclusions. At least 4 major differences to prior specimens: https://x.com/chieftrumpster/status/1815204611487072474
UPDATE: Well, what do you know? The old man is still with us. But with all the credible chatter about a medical emergency last Wednesday in Vegas, and the two executive orders DELEGATING presidential authority to the Secretaries of Treasury and State, two important questions now arise: (1) What have we not been told about the health of the president; and (2) WHO IS RUNNING THINGS?
i am willing to believe a great many things at this point, and Frank Biden's weird suggestion that his presidential brother has a terminal illness raises all kinds of possibilities. why wouldn't they just announced he had died, though? seems like it would be less embarrassing on balance.
i guess we will now see the degree to which Harris personally exercises any influence or control. if it's up to her, she'll want someone with even less star power than her as a running mate. if she's just taking orders, I guess her vice president might well be a big name.
Michelle's entry into open politics will not be some half-assed, three months to the wire spot on the #2 slot of a losing ticket.
When Michelle Obama formally enters politics, the media will act like it is the second coming. It will be telegraphed months in advance and choreographed like a film or stage production.
Former President Obama can not be the Vice President, as the qualifications to be VP are exactly the same as those to be the President, and he has served both of his allowed terms.
I think they forged his signature on the letter, they tried to install Kamala as puppet 2.0, and are killing Joe with Covid meds. Keep your hands off my tinfoil hat!
I edited my post to include the fact that done this way, "Biden" was able immediately (on Twitter) endorse Harris, ending speculation as to his final wishes.
It's all very strange. The letter itself not on letterhead, no mention of it on WhiteHouse.gov or on their Press Briefings page. Being posted on his private Twitter account and not the official WhiteHouse Twitter account (where you'd expect to see it pinned).
If he's not dead, was he even aware this was being put out there?
Or did the circling sharks just hang it out, knowing it would take on a life of its own?
Like nested Russian Dolls, this is looking like a coup within a coup.
This is literally the plot of an episode of The Thick of It (the fabulous satirical tv show about the British government).
The civil servants remove the elected leader by releasing to the press the information that he has resigned. He didn't, but it's too mortifying to admit that (as it means he has lost all authority, so he'd be cooked if he did). They outplayed him, so he just goes ahead with it, and they succeeded in removing him with minimal fuss.
That is the one thing I demur on: even if we were not in clown world, an announcement like this would properly come via personal or campaign channels; it’s not official White House business.
He may be dead but his inner circle wants to hide it as long as possible. If Kamala is to be the candidate, they do not want her serving as President for the next six months because then they could no longer hide her incompetence. Anyone paying attention already knows that, of course, but there are a lot of low-information voters out there.
Now that's interesting. Ordinarily, death would be reported. However in this case the inner circle will lose everything. In any case, Kamala H would put her own people in place to cover operations until January 2025.
if he's dead, than Kamala automatically takes over. They don't want that, for some reason. Does anyone know why they seem to hate Kamala so much?I mean, competency, personality etc.etc are clearly irrelevant. I suspect that she may be too headstrong and uncontrollable.
They don't want her in charge right now because they believe that would hurt her election chances if she is to be the candidate. It's possible they can fool enough people for her to "win" (with some fortification), but not if her incompetence is exposed over the next six months.
If he died of Covid that would be embarrassing for vaccine cultists. If nothing else, the shots and boosters are supposed to protect against ... death.
And Biden, reportedly, has gotten many shots and boosters.
I don't see how they can say Covid got him without admitting the shots are a sham.
I doubt that Biden would have died of (merely) covid and so quickly. It seems the intravenously administered run-death-is-near (remdesivir) takes a few days. (I'm being sarcastic sort-of-but-not-really. Just spent the last couple of hours working on transcribing murder-by-remdesivir testimonies.)
As for the vaccine culitsts— that's an apt term to describe most of Biden's supporters up until these last days— if they're not embarrassed already, so many of them having taken multiple shots and still coming down with covid-- (not to mention, despite the censorship, all the horrors trickling out about jab deaths, jab injuries, and fibrinaloid clots)-- I doubt there's hope for them now.
Bill, with all due respect, and you know I'm your big fan, you say: "I don't see how they can say Covid got him without admitting the shots are a sham" -- here's my answer: Yes, they can say that, easy peasy, just like they've said a whole wagon-load of kerazy things totally untethered to reality. They clearly don't give a flea's eyelash if what they say makes a lick of sense; it just has to be repeated with a big dollop of Dudley Do-right-esque feeeeeling.
After I posted this I thought to myself, "Well, they probably can spin this as proof that the vaccines work." Or they'll try to do this. They'd definitely use it as an opportunity to promote more booster shots.
If he did die from Covid, I'm sure the family would go out of their way to thank Pfizer for the life-saving vaccines. The spin would probably be that his previous shots kept him around a couple more years. They gave him enough time to make sure Ukraine got a couple hundred billion more dollars.
Yes. However, if you consider land rent to be a tax, they can't be avoided except in a low population, noncompeting, hunter-fisher-gatherer society. See Karl Hess, who originated the slogan "taxation is theft".
And covid shots are highly effective in causing death and disease .The USA can't send any more poison to the tribes in the Congo for the poison arrows and poison blow pipes to fight the gorillas ,because all the poison was used in the covid shots .So the Congo tribes have decided to move to the German Black forest .The land of milk and honey .
Surely if Mr Biden has indeed died, Kamala would automatically become President and a lot of problems would go away. As it is, the whole process now appears to be the result of lies from MSM and the administration, leaving the rest of the world completely in the dark.
Here we are, nearly 2 weeks after 13th July 2024 and so many things appear, often with little justification but with immense impact. Wow. Too much to hide any more.
well if he's dead, then my earlier prediction of harris becoming president, then appointing taylor swift as vp, then harris being ousted via the 25th amendment (because she's retarded) thus giving us taylor swift as a monarch is still in play.
it would be an easy way of getting rid of someone who is not wanted anymore. report that he is sick, give him remdesivir, intubate him - like so many before him, there he goes !
Yes, I think that Biden refused Pelosi's "easy way" out, and so she and Zients and Klain literally had him killed, then wrote the Tweets and letter.
They had to kill him, otherwise he would continue to insist on not dropping out.
Now they have a problem, which they hope to solve by claiming he died sometime in the near future. They've calculated that his death is less of a problem for them than his remaining the candidate.
Now Jill and Hunter are being informed that they really do not wish to speculate on the cause of Biden's death. Plomo o plato.
It's easy enough to completely incapacitate someone at his level of obvious dementia with a change in medication. Could have been done covertly so that even Jill was unaware. Now she's in back in Delaware with a guy that can't even get out of bed for 3-4 days and is most likely completely incoherent. She kinda thinks it's Covid because that's what Doc told her, but she knows she can't trot him about anymore. This is "the hard way." They all got played.
I doubt he is physically dead, but I agree this was most likely done without his knowledge, as he is mentally gonzo. He was probably told that he was resigning, and he had no say in the matter. Just gave a confused glare or an ok sign. By midweek he will be drugged up and propped in front of cameras to try and deliver a halfway intelligible speech. And will hardly be seen or heard from again. If he does end up being pronounced dead prior to this occurring, than you are 100% correct, the man is already dead.
He will be propped up enough to give a halfway-intelligible speech and then the entire corporate press will come out in lockstep, declaring him a "good man" and an "American hero" for his brave sacrifice of knowing when to step down.
I have wondered this since yesterday as well. The announcement being made out of the blue, on a Sunday afternoon, on X with no picture or video just seems too bizarre to me. Maybe he is dead and has been since last week. Maybe he is alive but doesn't know this even happened.
No one knows where Biden is or if he is even still alive. No power has been transferred. We have no president at the moment and no one in the corporate media is even asking what is going on.
But if he dies from Covid, the last desperate argument for the Vaccines ("They reduce chance of hospitalization & death!") will take a big hit. One of the Dems' little problems: they've been the Vax fanatic party for 3 years, and everyone and their mother know someone who had a bad time w/ the Vax... and then had a bad time (or few) w/ Covid
I wouldn't put it past the ruling party to either off him or conceal his natural death for their convenience and connivance. Alternate theory: He just refused to sign and Jill refused to fake his signature, so they got someone else to do it and his resignation became a fait accompli.
The 5 small signatures from the past are identical...a stamped signature perhaps? But the one from the other day show a completely different R and B formation. Clearly not Biden's signature.
This is a dark day for the legal and constitutional stability of the United States. It is not acceptable to shove a president aside in this manner and transfer the authority of the office to someone else. We have a mechanism of the legal vesting and divesting of power, and this is not it. No democratic candidate for president will be viewed as legitimate after this.
Joe Biden had one last chance to something useful for his country, and he could have done it simply by staying where he was. If his last act on Earth had been to help preserve the constitutional legitimacy of his office, I would have accorded him some begrudging respect. Unfortunately, it seems he lacked the ability to even do that.
Speaking as a thoroughly disillusioned formerly Democratic-leaning independent, I would argue that this is the *third* consecutive presidential campaign that the DNC has engineered in favor of their chosen anointed one, contrary to the wishes of their electorate. To add insult to injury they did this while proclaiming to be the party of protecting democracy.
It's not like people didn't know or suspect before, but Biden's painfully obvious decline served to rip off what little fig leaf the DNC was clutching to itself.
You don't think Obama was anointed? A freshman Senator no one ever heard of before?
I think the party elite and the media's been choosing the candidates for decades, for both parties. They made a mistake with Trump, thinking Hillary could beat him easily. Now a good percentage of the public is onto them.
Before it became obvious in 2016, to people like me at least, I'm sure similar shenanigans were going on. For a long time. Remember the smoke-filled rooms?
According to Roger V Gould in his book “Collision of Wills” most dangerous time in a society and especially in a high power organization is when there is an uncertainty of power and status. Each party and individual jockeys for power and there can be an eruption of violence across many levels of society. Hence why we have a legal means of the transfer of power for an incapacitated president and for regular elections. (Collision of Wills: How Ambiguity about Social Rank Breeds Conflict).
We currently don't know where our President is, if he is even still alive, or who is really in charge at the moment. If I were our enemies, I would be taking full advantage of the chaos.
Yes, the book is really life-changing and helps immensely in identifying the source of conflict! I actually heard about it from Dr.Rob Henderson's Substack. I highly recommend his work and his recent best-selling memoir "Troubled: A Memoir of Foster Care, Family, and Social Class"
It's worse - they are saying he is to fragile to campaign, but he is A-OK to run a country with two wars (that they aren't winning!). End of the day - the changed the messenger, not the message. If Biden's policies were successful, people would have put up with the out-of-touch Uncle. They are a failure on multiple fronts. So the best that the 12 Billionaire Donors that run the party could do is switch the rider.
I was on a video call with some colleagues in Germany and the UK this morning. They seemed quite concerned about the goings on. I assured them that this circus still has a few acts left in it.
It isn’t clear to me that Biden even knows that he has dropped out of the race. Maybe his handlers will keep him informed of his progress through Election Day.
This is just all part of the original Plan A. Biden was to be gone after Trump was killed. This is how they planned to make Biden "gone". That's not the important shiny object to chase. Biden is done. Stop looking at it.
Focus on what they are doing with Trump in Plan B (Trump alive, Biden gone). They wont try to kill Trump again. If Trump can get enough votes to overcome the DNC pseudo-votes, then be ready for significant societal level disruptions.... global financial crisis, bird flu pandemic, etc...
The disorder and opportunism I am perversely enjoying, because I enjoy seeing just desserts served to this claque of pathological liars, who now struggle with even the basics of their trade. With every turn of the ratchet they appear absurder and more incompetent, and we’ve a ways to go yet. The forced and hysteric front of triumphalism put up by the miserable faithful, trying to reinterpret every misstep as a sign of strength feels exactly like how the news from the front in Ukraine gets interpreted by them on social media. Of course this is also very dangerous but so it goes.
As much as I want to relish the apparent pandemonium, I am concerned about the lengths that the Dems would go to if backed into a corner. I believe they have no compunction to incite all manor of social unrest, up to and including assassination attempts (did it), acts of war, and domestic terrorism.
We'll have to see the mood at the DNC convention. I think it will be forced excitement with fake smiles plastered on their faces, but the mood will not be what they will try to convey.
Well, as an enthusiastic crafter of narratives based on very little factual information, here goes:
Jill and Hunter refused all blandishments. But on this crucial weekend Hunter was in California and the screws were put to Jill that the Hur tapes were going to leak forthwith and vaporize whatever tatters of dignity Biden was already unretaining. Jill said she would not allow Kamala to become interim President via a resignation, and that the initial letter would not mention her. She was also adamant that no leaks could be allowed until the moment of the letter's release.
Joe's rage--well documented now via anonymous tribble drabbles from staffers--was of course a serious issue during these hours where he himself was refusing to accept orders to step aside and he is of course frail and with a history of repaired aneurisms. He was administered sedatives which calmed him. Jill guided his hand as he signed.
He had no role in crafting the actual text of the letter. This comports of course with him having little role in anything. But Jill was able to extract from him, in the presence of witnesses, sufficient verbal assent to this process. Not many words, of course, were necessary.
As I said in another comment, the government seems to have forced upon us the new national pastime of enthusiastically crafting narratives based on very little factual information.
Every new bit of supposed information that drips out becomes fodder for mentally composing plots for mystery/thriller novels.
The only downside is, a lot of it seems even too unbelievable for a fiction work.
Au contraire. It may seem too unbelievable for fiction, but entirely believable in the context of our time. I'm constantly amazed and appalled by where we find ourselves.
Time to invoke Poe's Law: an adage of Internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.
I agree about the letter. He is incapable of crafting a letter like that. And I think someone else signed it: guiding another person’s hand produces an uncertain looking signature.
In the absence of dynastic princelings in sufficiently high places, I guess this is less than positive news for the sale prices of the artistic visionary Hunter's paintings. I wonder if any commissions will be cancelled.
What it smells like to me is pure panic and disarray. Every option they have are failing options. We should demand to hear from Biden himself. If he’s alive, he may not even be aware of what’s happened. Just like these nihilists, eat their own, kick a dog while he’s down, tasty morsels of a corpse with a malfunctioning chip? These Dumbass Dems are rotten to the core.
If you've seen the movie The Death of Stalin, this all seems familiar. I suspect we'll never know the true background story here unless the entire Democrat party gets decimated in November.
It is quite obvious, isn't it? so easy - first they try to eliminate the competition, and when that fails, they take out the puppet. How long has Zients been in charge? probably all of the time. It was already known that Biden was dementing when he ran, it was known since 2012. He should have retired then. And when it got quite obvious, a few years ago, the top of the Dems should have urged him to step down. But then Kamala would have been president. Would that have been any better? Probably even worse!
I would not rule out the possibility that the next time we see Biden (if we ever do) he may repudiate his refusal of the nomination. It is strange indeed. Far from clear there was an informed consent here or even that it was Biden who sent these messages. But this a party act not a constitutional one, so only the DNC can determine whether it's correct. Fat chance they will look below the surface.
I know you don't go in for tin-foil hat theories, eugyppius, but my mantra has always been "when what you are being told does not make sense, you are being lied to."
So here goes: Biden is already dead. He has not been seen since last Wednesday.

One reason is that after 4 months of President Kamala there will be even fewer votes for President Kamala.
Bingo! She's not their first choice for President.
Watch out for the Harris-Obama ticket.
i guess we will now see the degree to which Harris personally exercises any influence or control. if it's up to her, she'll want someone with even less star power than her as a running mate. if she's just taking orders, I guess her vice president might well be a big name.
5 bucks says Hillary comes back flapping her leathery wings -
this is all scripted
Being president with Hilary as your vice seems like the most dangerous job in the world-by far.
who could live like that?! fearing your imminent demise at every turn.
Oh no. Killary vs Harris.
top bitches
I ain't taking that bet. Tested, rested, botoxed, and ready. Cringeworthy as ever, too.
Michelle's entry into open politics will not be some half-assed, three months to the wire spot on the #2 slot of a losing ticket.
When Michelle Obama formally enters politics, the media will act like it is the second coming. It will be telegraphed months in advance and choreographed like a film or stage production.
Big Mike?
I meant BO, not MO.
Former President Obama can not be the Vice President, as the qualifications to be VP are exactly the same as those to be the President, and he has served both of his allowed terms.
President Kamalalala has to get as vice president lady Ga Ga and the three Stuges as advisers .
If she is it, I truly will give up all internet, tv - all of it.
Dumb commie bitch whore
You forgot 'ditz'.
well, dementia is a very rapidly deteriorating condition.
I have several friends with parents that have endured this - the time line is months, not years.
I am very fortunate to have had parents that lived waaay too long and always of sound mind. Mom 96, dad 99.5
Not always rapid; more likely now w/ MRNA... the Korean study that is getting attention: https://academic.oup.com/qjmed/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/qjmed/hcae103/7684274?redirectedFrom=fulltext&login=false
wow, excellent.
This condition never gets better. I pointed this out in my first "Biden has dementia" story on Substack 22 months ago.
His Presidential schedule this week and going forward has nothing at all scheduled.
Isn’t BiBi coming?
More things to make you go Hmmm 🤔
I think they forged his signature on the letter, they tried to install Kamala as puppet 2.0, and are killing Joe with Covid meds. Keep your hands off my tinfoil hat!
Maybe, Bibi will take over ...
He has American citizenship, doesn't he ??? ...
At the current level of craziness anything’s possible. But even that may be a bit too far.
🤞🤞🤞
Bibi doesn't give a rats arse who he meets, he just wants cash, cash, cash, and more bombs.
I edited my post to include the fact that done this way, "Biden" was able immediately (on Twitter) endorse Harris, ending speculation as to his final wishes.
It's all very strange. The letter itself not on letterhead, no mention of it on WhiteHouse.gov or on their Press Briefings page. Being posted on his private Twitter account and not the official WhiteHouse Twitter account (where you'd expect to see it pinned).

They outplayed him, so he just goes ahead with it, and they succeeded in removing him with minimal fuss.
It would be just like these people to have no originality even at this most crucial moment.
Then why no pushback from Jill or other insiders? Was she paid off? If Joe is terminally ill, Jill will want to make sure her future is secured.
seems like they have stolen plenty of money already
It's never enough for them Andy.
I want Hunter set for life with hhis coke issues
Did they make Jill an offer she could not refuse? I did not expect to see her go out so quietly.
Yeah, $200M and a Job at Harvard if she shuts off old Joe's oxygen tank.
She got the silverware
Has Jill been seen in public either?
That is the one thing I demur on: even if we were not in clown world, an announcement like this would properly come via personal or campaign channels; it’s not official White House business.
If he has officially died, then don't his regency immediately lose their power to make presidential decisions?
Only if the world knows he's dead.
He may be dead but his inner circle wants to hide it as long as possible. If Kamala is to be the candidate, they do not want her serving as President for the next six months because then they could no longer hide her incompetence. Anyone paying attention already knows that, of course, but there are a lot of low-information voters out there.
plus the republican speaker would be VP, I think
Entirely within the realm of possibility.
Now that's interesting. Ordinarily, death would be reported. However in this case the inner circle will lose everything. In any case, Kamala H would put her own people in place to cover operations until January 2025.
Dave
Dave's not here.
Yes, agreed. It would be neater and cleaner if he had just passed away.
Is there any actual video of Biden post-announcement? The simplest explanation is that they resigned for him and then told him afterwards it was over.
He has not been seen since Wednesday and his entire schedule for the week was cleared yesterday by the White House.
That's interesting
The last video was him getting into a limosine. I wonder if Clemenza was inside waiting for him.
if he's dead, than Kamala automatically takes over. They don't want that, for some reason. Does anyone know why they seem to hate Kamala so much?I mean, competency, personality etc.etc are clearly irrelevant. I suspect that she may be too headstrong and uncontrollable.
No, she's a doofus of a high order... not so much headstrong as headweak....
They don't want her in charge right now because they believe that would hurt her election chances if she is to be the candidate. It's possible they can fool enough people for her to "win" (with some fortification), but not if her incompetence is exposed over the next six months.
yeah, they are hoping to milk that “don’t you want to vote for the first woman black president!” cow for awhile—-
So if he has died, it seems that he did so before pardoning Hunter. If he hasn't died I think that will be next.
I don't think he cares what happens to Hunter.
I doubt Frank knows anything. I am waiting to see if we ever hear Joe speak live again. Or Dr. Jill, for that matter.
They need Harris as VP to tie-break in the Senate as long as possible. Weekend at Bernie's with a coup thrown in.
Kamala won't pardon Hunter in her own name.
If he died of Covid that would be embarrassing for vaccine cultists. If nothing else, the shots and boosters are supposed to protect against ... death.
And Biden, reportedly, has gotten many shots and boosters.
I don't see how they can say Covid got him without admitting the shots are a sham.
I doubt that Biden would have died of (merely) covid and so quickly. It seems the intravenously administered run-death-is-near (remdesivir) takes a few days. (I'm being sarcastic sort-of-but-not-really. Just spent the last couple of hours working on transcribing murder-by-remdesivir testimonies.)
As for the vaccine culitsts— that's an apt term to describe most of Biden's supporters up until these last days— if they're not embarrassed already, so many of them having taken multiple shots and still coming down with covid-- (not to mention, despite the censorship, all the horrors trickling out about jab deaths, jab injuries, and fibrinaloid clots)-- I doubt there's hope for them now.
Bill, with all due respect, and you know I'm your big fan, you say: "I don't see how they can say Covid got him without admitting the shots are a sham" -- here's my answer: Yes, they can say that, easy peasy, just like they've said a whole wagon-load of kerazy things totally untethered to reality.

After I posted this I thought to myself, "Well, they probably can spin this as proof that the vaccines work." Or they'll try to do this. They'd definitely use it as an opportunity to promote more booster shots.
If he did die from Covid, I'm sure the family would go out of their way to thank Pfizer for the life-saving vaccines. The spin would probably be that his previous shots kept him around a couple more years. They gave him enough time to make sure Ukraine got a couple hundred billion more dollars.
Transcriber B, once again must say how much we appreciate your work.
Thanks for reading, ViaVeritasVita.
According to the CDC, COVID-19 shots are highly effective in preventing severe disease and death, until they don't.
Just another advertising slogan, like "safe and effective", and "Wonder Bread builds strong bodies 12 ways".
"protect democracy" is another favorite
Are you implying, then, that Wonder Bread does NOT build strong bodies 12 ways? My childhood is ruined...
And shots build strong bank accounts .
They probably counted all the fortification ingredients and the essential amino acids in the wheat flour and other ingredients.
Or "Follow the science" and "Nothing's certain but death and taxes" (death is certain, yes, but taxes are a scam).
Yes. However, if you consider land rent to be a tax, they can't be avoided except in a low population, noncompeting, hunter-fisher-gatherer society. See Karl Hess, who originated the slogan "taxation is theft".
The vaccines "may" prevent death.
Then again, they may not.
And covid shots are highly effective in causing death and disease .The USA can't send any more poison to the tribes in the Congo for the poison arrows and poison blow pipes to fight the gorillas ,because all the poison was used in the covid shots .So the Congo tribes have decided to move to the German Black forest .The land of milk and honey .
They will say that he took last year‘s shot instead of the new shiny one they are going to unveil soon
LOL, he wasn't "up to date"... so absurd it's possible
I love Big Brother and the NWO
Do you REALLY think, the global big-wigs got needle-poked with the same juice as global average Joe or Jane ??? ... 🤔🤔🤔
I’m sure they stuck Hoe with whatever they wanted to…
They were given the choice . It was never mandated that they had too
What shots?
the Democrat Party is The Mob.
Pelosi _literally_ seems to be the representative of La Cosa Nostra in the US government.
I don't know, I might argue Hillary has had more people killed than Pelosi
Well yes, but I don't think Hillary is literally a member of the mob like Pelosi is.
You might say that the Clinton Crime Family is its own little mob though.
Hillary isn’t as good at covering things up. Like graves, for instance, lol.
Just like her daddy, Tommy D'Alessandro, the mob boss mayor of Baltimore.
Yes, that's why I bring it up.
"Senator Corleone, that's what I wanted for you Michael..."
They still hate Rudy Guilliani because he kicked the Mob out of NYC.
They moved to New Jersey.
The Mob at least had some honor.
Surely if Mr Biden has indeed died, Kamala would automatically become President and a lot of problems would go away. As it is, the whole process now appears to be the result of lies from MSM and the administration, leaving the rest of the world completely in the dark.
Except us here on Eugyppius ss
Here we are, nearly 2 weeks after 13th July 2024 and so many things appear, often with little justification but with immense impact. Wow. Too much to hide any more.
well if he's dead, then my earlier prediction of harris becoming president, then appointing taylor swift as vp, then harris being ousted via the 25th amendment (because she's retarded) thus giving us taylor swift as a monarch is still in play.
The way the Democratic elites have continually jerked us around, anything sure is possible.
Truly.
And the Republicans stood down, except for signing laws to limit speech against antisemitism or vowing allegiance to Israel.
Make Israel great again Trump, ND governor who shot her dog, abbott, etc
Maybe not the worst outcome
I'm not sure what life in a Swiftocracy would be like. I'm guessing some mix of mandatory pronouns, Pfizer™️ vaccines and candy for everyone.
I would revolt if we were forced to listen to her music.
What is it with these people and Taylor Swift?
it would be an easy way of getting rid of someone who is not wanted anymore. report that he is sick, give him remdesivir, intubate him - like so many before him, there he goes !
Right! Just following official guidelines....
Yes, I think that Biden refused Pelosi's "easy way" out, and so she and Zients and Klain literally had him killed, then wrote the Tweets and letter.
They had to kill him, otherwise he would continue to insist on not dropping out.
Now they have a problem, which they hope to solve by claiming he died sometime in the near future. They've calculated that his death is less of a problem for them than his remaining the candidate.
Now Jill and Hunter are being informed that they really do not wish to speculate on the cause of Biden's death. Plomo o plato.
I had wondered what Nancy's "hard" way entailed. Murder had not occurred to me. But then, I was ignorant of her familial background.
It's easy enough to completely incapacitate someone at his level of obvious dementia with a change in medication. Could have been done covertly so that even Jill was unaware. Now she's in back in Delaware with a guy that can't even get out of bed for 3-4 days and is most likely completely incoherent. She kinda thinks it's Covid because that's what Doc told her, but she knows she can't trot him about anymore. This is "the hard way." They all got played.
I doubt he is physically dead, but I agree this was most likely done without his knowledge, as he is mentally gonzo. He was probably told that he was resigning, and he had no say in the matter. Just gave a confused glare or an ok sign. By midweek he will be drugged up and propped in front of cameras to try and deliver a halfway intelligible speech. And will hardly be seen or heard from again. If he does end up being pronounced dead prior to this occurring, than you are 100% correct, the man is already dead.
He will be propped up enough to give a halfway-intelligible speech and then the entire corporate press will come out in lockstep, declaring him a "good man" and an "American hero" for his brave sacrifice of knowing when to step down.
One thinks of Braveheart, the scene in which Edward II lies on his bed paralyzed, and DIL gives him some most unwelcome news.
I have wondered this since yesterday as well. The announcement being made out of the blue, on a Sunday afternoon, on X with no picture or video just seems too bizarre to me. Maybe he is dead and has been since last week. Maybe he is alive but doesn't know this even happened.
No one knows where Biden is or if he is even still alive. No power has been transferred. We have no president at the moment and no one in the corporate media is even asking what is going on.
Anyone still doubts why the globalists are hell-bent on total control and censorship ???
But if he dies from Covid, the last desperate argument for the Vaccines ("They reduce chance of hospitalization & death!") will take a big hit. One of the Dems' little problems: they've been the Vax fanatic party for 3 years, and everyone and their mother know someone who had a bad time w/ the Vax... and then had a bad time (or few) w/ Covid
I didn't say they were smart! But that's what they went with...
Maybe the "I will address the nation later this week" is in there to give them time to render the AI video of Biden addressing the nation.
I'm guessing it will be audio-only, and weird as fuck.
I wouldn't put it past the ruling party to either off him or conceal his natural death for their convenience and connivance. Alternate theory: He just refused to sign and Jill refused to fake his signature, so they got someone else to do it and his resignation became a fait accompli.
The 5 small signatures from the past are identical...a stamped signature perhaps? But the one from the other day show a completely different R and B formation. Clearly not Biden's signature.
Dave The Movie
Agree. And they do not want everybody sniffing about “who is Kamala’s VP?!” And want to keep THAT drama behind closed D doors.
The biggest failure as President in the history of the U.S. The end of an error.
“The end of an Error”
Love that!!
nicely put
Meme-worthy!

Looking in advance at tomorrow's Patrick. And now thx to your comment above, re her daddy, I really understand the Nancy threat in #14 yesterday.
This is a dark day for the legal and constitutional stability of the United States. It is not acceptable to shove a president aside in this manner and transfer the authority of the office to someone else. We have a mechanism of the legal vesting and divesting of power, and this is not it. No democratic candidate for president will be viewed as legitimate after this.
Joe Biden had one last chance to something useful for his country, and he could have done it simply by staying where he was. If his last act on Earth had been to help preserve the constitutional legitimacy of his office, I would have accorded him some begrudging respect. Unfortunately, it seems he lacked the ability to even do that.
Just a week before they did try to kill their primary opponent, so we should not expect propriety and legitimate behavior from them going forward.
Watch out for antifa to start back up.
Hope not. My power was out for 5 days in September 2020.
Have you secured a supply of potable water? Seriously asking.
Both city water and well continued throughout. Antifa and USAF didn't take those out.
Only if it benefits the elites.
Speaking as a thoroughly disillusioned formerly Democratic-leaning independent, I would argue that this is the *third* consecutive presidential campaign that the DNC has engineered in favor of their chosen anointed one, contrary to the wishes of their electorate. To add insult to injury they did this while proclaiming to be the party of protecting democracy.
It's not like people didn't know or suspect before, but Biden's painfully obvious decline served to rip off what little fig leaf the DNC was clutching to itself.
Not for the party faithful. They are permanently locked in the cattle mindset.
Oh yes, they will all be clutching at that inadequate figleaf.
When was the last real primary? '08?
No, that was designed to get Obama in and Keep Hillary out. Hillary had opposition from major D factions, that’s why they blocked her in 08 and 16.
2016 what is the first time it was noticeably obvious, to me at least. Before that I was a member of the herd of shambling zombies.
As were most of us.
You don't think Obama was anointed? A freshman Senator no one ever heard of before?
I think the party elite and the media's been choosing the candidates for decades, for both parties. They made a mistake with Trump, thinking Hillary could beat him easily. Now a good percentage of the public is onto them.
Before it became obvious in 2016, to people like me at least, I'm sure similar shenanigans were going on. For a long time. Remember the smoke-filled rooms?
According to Roger V Gould in his book “Collision of Wills” most dangerous time in a society and especially in a high power organization is when there is an uncertainty of power and status. Each party and individual jockeys for power and there can be an eruption of violence across many levels of society. Hence why we have a legal means of the transfer of power for an incapacitated president and for regular elections. (Collision of Wills: How Ambiguity about Social Rank Breeds Conflict).
We currently don't know where our President is, if he is even still alive, or who is really in charge at the moment. If I were our enemies, I would be taking full advantage of the chaos.
That's a great book! Did you also find out about it from @knrd_z on Twitter?
Yes, the book is really life-changing and helps immensely in identifying the source of conflict! I actually heard about it from Dr.Rob Henderson's Substack. I highly recommend his work and his recent best-selling memoir "Troubled: A Memoir of Foster Care, Family, and Social Class"
He's dead Jim.
But.... not as we know it.
lol, like
It's worse - they are saying he is to fragile to campaign, but he is A-OK to run a country with two wars (that they aren't winning!). End of the day - the changed the messenger, not the message. If Biden's policies were successful, people would have put up with the out-of-touch Uncle. They are a failure on multiple fronts. So the best that the 12 Billionaire Donors that run the party could do is switch the rider.
Great insight.
911
Protocol dictates that an announcement of this magnitude had to be delivered before the cameras in person.
That he didn't do this calls everything about it into question.
They faked the letter, while killing Joe slowly w Covid meds…
I was on a video call with some colleagues in Germany and the UK this morning. They seemed quite concerned about the goings on. I assured them that this circus still has a few acts left in it.
It isn’t clear to me that Biden even knows that he has dropped out of the race. Maybe his handlers will keep him informed of his progress through Election Day.
omg, like
This is just all part of the original Plan A. Biden was to be gone after Trump was killed. This is how they planned to make Biden "gone". That's not the important shiny object to chase. Biden is done. Stop looking at it.
Focus on what they are doing with Trump in Plan B (Trump alive, Biden gone). They wont try to kill Trump again. If Trump can get enough votes to overcome the DNC pseudo-votes, then be ready for significant societal level disruptions.... global financial crisis, bird flu pandemic, etc...
I agree. Epic proportions of disruption.
Wow, are we all learning to live like the 1930's and keep our mouths shut
I would not put it past Pelosi and Zients to nuke a US city to declare martial law and the indefinite postponement of elections.
Washington?
I'd think they'd go for a majority Republican city, but you never know.
Regional power grids downed and say it's the russians: false flag to start ww3
Sure, that's another option, probably easier.
One can only hope that would be the choice
Maybe not a nuke, but something fairly serious. So help me, I'll entertain almost any speculation these days.
Like crowwdsource? Energy blackouts blamed on Russia for ww3
You mean CrowdStrike?
Yes! sorry
Jericho-style.
Trump pivotal in operation warp speed
I hate this, but my heads on a swivel!
Just follow my comments here. All will be well
The disorder and opportunism I am perversely enjoying, because I enjoy seeing just desserts served to this claque of pathological liars, who now struggle with even the basics of their trade. With every turn of the ratchet they appear absurder and more incompetent, and we’ve a ways to go yet. The forced and hysteric front of triumphalism put up by the miserable faithful, trying to reinterpret every misstep as a sign of strength feels exactly like how the news from the front in Ukraine gets interpreted by them on social media. Of course this is also very dangerous but so it goes.
As much as I want to relish the apparent pandemonium, I am concerned about the lengths that the Dems would go to if backed into a corner. I believe they have no compunction to incite all manor of social unrest, up to and including assassination attempts (did it), acts of war, and domestic terrorism.
They love to cheat, and they're pro-crime, so anything is possible.
We'll have to see the mood at the DNC convention. I think it will be forced excitement with fake smiles plastered on their faces, but the mood will not be what they will try to convey.
Let's face it, he's dead and we're witnessing political schemes of Shakespearean proportions.
Well, as an enthusiastic crafter of narratives based on very little factual information, here goes:
Jill and Hunter refused all blandishments. But on this crucial weekend Hunter was in California and the screws were put to Jill that the Hur tapes were going to leak forthwith and vaporize whatever tatters of dignity Biden was already unretaining. Jill said she would not allow Kamala to become interim President via a resignation, and that the initial letter would not mention her. She was also adamant that no leaks could be allowed until the moment of the letter's release.
Joe's rage--well documented now via anonymous tribble drabbles from staffers--was of course a serious issue during these hours where he himself was refusing to accept orders to step aside and he is of course frail and with a history of repaired aneurisms. He was administered sedatives which calmed him. Jill guided his hand as he signed.
He had no role in crafting the actual text of the letter. This comports of course with him having little role in anything. But Jill was able to extract from him, in the presence of witnesses, sufficient verbal assent to this process. Not many words, of course, were necessary.
[edited for punctuation]
As I said in another comment, the government seems to have forced upon us the new national pastime of enthusiastically crafting narratives based on very little factual information.
Every new bit of supposed information that drips out becomes fodder for mentally composing plots for mystery/thriller novels.
The only downside is, a lot of it seems even too unbelievable for a fiction work.
Au contraire. It may seem too unbelievable for fiction, but entirely believable in the context of our time. I'm constantly amazed and appalled by where we find ourselves.
Time to invoke Poe's Law: an adage of Internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.
lol, like
"unretaining"!
I agree about the letter. He is incapable of crafting a letter like that. And I think someone else signed it: guiding another person’s hand produces an uncertain looking signature.
Last 2 paragraphs show talent for writing mystery novels. L
Jill guided his hand...
Well, John. I do write mystery flash fiction (among other genres). I consider every comment an opportunity to further refine my craft.
I wonder if anyone has told Biden that he has stepped down yet?
Boy, is he going to be pissed.
In the absence of dynastic princelings in sufficiently high places, I guess this is less than positive news for the sale prices of the artistic visionary Hunter's paintings. I wonder if any commissions will be cancelled.
Are you kidding? He's another Picasso. Raul Picasso, not Pablo.
Geez--do you think they'll put Hunter forward for Veep?
What it smells like to me is pure panic and disarray. Every option they have are failing options. We should demand to hear from Biden himself. If he’s alive, he may not even be aware of what’s happened. Just like these nihilists, eat their own, kick a dog while he’s down, tasty morsels of a corpse with a malfunctioning chip? These Dumbass Dems are rotten to the core.
All of this is making me consider whether God Himself let their own pride and evil deeds be the cause of their downfall.
I am of the same mind.
Definitely. Nihilism. Ouroboros. All throughout the Bible. It’s a God made natural law.
If you've seen the movie The Death of Stalin, this all seems familiar. I suspect we'll never know the true background story here unless the entire Democrat party gets decimated in November.
Right?! It really is like a revised version of that!! Hahaha!
It is quite obvious, isn't it? so easy - first they try to eliminate the competition, and when that fails, they take out the puppet. How long has Zients been in charge? probably all of the time. It was already known that Biden was dementing when he ran, it was known since 2012. He should have retired then. And when it got quite obvious, a few years ago, the top of the Dems should have urged him to step down. But then Kamala would have been president. Would that have been any better? Probably even worse!
Zients was the (evil) White House Covid coordinator from January 2021 for a year. And up to no good in the Obama administration as well.
With Kamala, we could have been all time laughingstock of any nation
and she would have been the first to laugh !
I would not rule out the possibility that the next time we see Biden (if we ever do) he may repudiate his refusal of the nomination. It is strange indeed. Far from clear there was an informed consent here or even that it was Biden who sent these messages. But this a party act not a constitutional one, so only the DNC can determine whether it's correct. Fat chance they will look below the surface.
I agree, I would not rule that out. Something tells me we have not heard the last of Joe Biden.
Here was my take this morning
We have now a President Joe
Whose allies had asked him to go
Reject them, he did
For there was no quid
To pay him if he gave the quo
There is a sad man from Rehoboth,
Whose whereabouts nobody knoweth,
Lo, now he quits,
Because he gave the Dems fits,
Though his son can only say, “Ho’? Meth?”
