Funny, dems said Trump would not leave the WH and it turns out it is biden that will NOT go.
They said Trump would be a felon making decisions in the WH. Turns out it is Hunter sitting in meetings w joey making decisions in the WH. So it is Hunter who is the felon in the WH.
Dem voters wake up. Dems have LIED to you.

It's simple. When the Bidens are vacationing in Delaware, which is most of the time, move their stuff out of the White House and set it in the middle of Pennsylvania Avenue. The DC homeless will take care of it.

A "good-conscience loophole"? Really? Do Dems even have a conscience after all the lying and lawfare they have committed over the last eight years? Not only do they not have a conscience, they have no shame.

In truth, as much as I despise Slow Joe I want him to continue on as the Dims candidate. He's a known quantity and he isn't going to get any better between now and the election. Trump and Vance can continue to pummel him on his lousy record and his obvious dementia. After the last week, there is no chance in Hades that he'll get elected short of a flagrant cheating campaign and there are too many eyes on the process now (and we know how it works).
I need more popcorn...

The DNC acts as if Biden has suddenly shown himself to be unfit for duty. They act as if they haven’t been lying to cover for his demented gaffs for years. The DNC could have conducted a proper primary. They could have listened to criticism of Joe Biden.
The Dems are losing. They deserve a political (not literal) bloodbath. They’ve earned one!

Some will respond to the call. Others will not. There will be a bloody floor fight within and between state delegations I am buying some pop corn!

A “loophole” to save democracy. Only a bunch of communists could come up with an idea like that. I want the DEImocrats to give us a lecture on their famous “disenfranchised voters” when they try to pull this off.

The left are like the mafia. And while a stooge works his way in a part of the inner circle, he thinks it's great and hilarious to pull out every weapon and method in their arsenal to take out their enemies. He doesn't realize he's only there because he's useful for the moment. Then, one day, this insider starts getting that uneasy feeling he is being pushed out - there are meetings and discussions going on to which he is not invited. Sure enough, he finds out too late that the object of the next hit....is him. And of course, that moment of verification usually comes too late - at the moment of the actual hit. Joe's been an useful insider stooge for a long, long time. He's no longer useful, and the hit is coming

So much for democrats defending “democracy”.
Democrats are full of integrity and principles, until it’s inconvenient.

Democrats managed to sell a candidate Biden that did not exist to rank and file Democrats in the primaries. They voted for a Biden that was advertised as physically robust and mentally sharp. In the pre-convention debate it became obvious that Biden was both physically and mentally feeble. Democrat politicians, realized that the real Biden would probably lose, decided to remove and replace him, destroying the results of the democratic primaries. To make it not look like they were not destroying democracy they launched a plan to force Biden to “voluntarily” withdraw from the race. Offended by this treatment, Biden is refusing to withdraw.
Now the Democrats are considering a “good-conscience loophole” to allow delegates pledged to Biden to vote for somebody else. This would be laughable if it were not so deplorably hypocritical. This has nothing to do with conscience. It is only about winning no matter at what cost as the drive another stake in the heart of democracy.

I know the article is about Joe Biteme, but I think it's geared more towards Jill Biteme. I envision Dr. Jill being dragged out of the White House with fingernail scratches on the walls and floors and with a few White House dinner plates in one hand and her screaming NOOOOO all the way out.

As far as I’m concerned, DR Jill Biden is the Wicked Witch of the West Wing. Just throw some water on her and she’ll melt away. Then Joe Biden will allow himself be quietly led into his Delaware basement where Evan have all the ice cream he wants and still believe he’s still POTATUS!
