CNN: Don't Worry About Biden's Mental Decline, Galaxy-Brained Kamala Harris Is Takin' Charge
I guess a white man finally has positioned Kamala Harris for success-ion.
Robert Spencer sees this as just more evidence that the Democrat-Media Complex is now in full Dump Brandon mode.CNN published a lengthy exposition on Sunday that could have been entitled "Kamala to the Rescue," for that's what it was all about; the far-left propaganda organ was trying to sell us on the idea that Harris, after showing herself to be abjectly incapable of doing anything beyond spouting preposterous word salads for as long as Old Joe has been showing off his cognitive decline, is now taking charge, calming the jittery rank-and-file apparatchiks and smoothing the Democrats' pathway to inevitable victory in November. Nary a cackle was mentioned in the entire two-thousand-word piece. "More than two dozen sources" -- wow! Is that like 51 top intelligence professionals? -- "tell CNN that Harris has been gathering information to help her penetrate what she sometimes refers to as the 'bubble' of Biden campaign thinking, telling people she's aiming to use that intelligence to push for changes in strategy and tactics that she hopes will put the ticket in better shape to win."If Biden won't budge, Kamala may be the one to call for the 25th Amendment ejection from office. That's a pretty unfounded speculation but what if Biden is now so mentally incompetent he doesn't even know he's mentally incompetent? Meanwhile, the Democrat-Media Complex is using Retard Jiu-Jitsu to claim that Trump is rilly the one in cognitive decline, racists.
It's begun. The left is trying to turn the tables and declare that it is Donald Trump who is in cognitive decline. If it weren't so sad and desperate, it would be funny. A professor at the University of British Columbia claims to have assessed the cognitive functioning of both Biden and Trump. He warns that Trump's mental decline is "more apparent" than Biden's but Biden's "cognitive failure" could be disastrous in a second term.
Advertisement Professor Paul Quirk is described as a politics professor. He's not a mental health expert or a psychologist. He teaches politics. Yet, he claims to have assessed the situation of the presumed frontrunners in the 2024 presidential election. He is an American citizen, having graduated from Harvard and taught at U.S. universities before he went to Canada. The professor claims that Trump's decline is more obvious because of his 'slurred speech and gross, repeated errors.' That's a fairly clueless observation, IMHO. Biden is known for his inability to speak without slurring and mumbling and the non-stop lies. Is "repeated errors" code for lies? If so, this guy is just clutching for straws. He's Canadian, so take his hot takes for what they are, just another progressive worried that Trump may be on his way back into the White House.

So the VP is taking over in fact while Biden remains the titular president, so the VP is governing by acclimation but without any formal authority and this coup - I know no other word for it, as presented - is being publicized as a good thing in order to *defend* the administration?
I wonder if CNN realizes just how much it has lost the plot.

It began some time ago. I think it's part of the overall marketing push for Biden.
"We know it's bad to have an elderly dotard as president, but since the choice is apparently between an elderly dotard with a great, professional, experienced team and noble past and an elderly dotard with an amateur, inexperienced, craven team and a nasty, ignoble past, do you *really* want to change horses in midstream? Stay the course. We have it handled with Biden and the country is in good hands."

This would imply that there actually is a campaign in progress. I have seen no evidence of that. All that is happening are small gatherings of very very very rich donors at which Biden appears. I find it hard to believe that these people aren't just laughing at him behind his back.

Yea, he lies his ass off. But that first debate with Biden, Trump came off terrible. I still say half the reason he lost was that first debate.
Subsequent debates, he did much better, but everyone had higher expectations and Trump fumbled.
I I just hope Trump does his homework this time and gets some talking points down. Maybe it was Covid brain, but it just seemed like he was completely lost in that debate.

I thought Trump's tactic in the first debate was interesting, to keep interrupting and generally be as obnoxious as possible to make FJB blow his stack. It didn't work because Joe's drugs were strong enough to keep the lid on and Trump did not repeat it in the 2nd and 3rd debates.

we’ve seen some of the most transformative liberal legislation passed since the days of Johnston, a recovered economy that miraculously avoided a recession, a record high stock market, a dramatic drop in violent crime rates, a rise in real wages that were most enjoyed by the working class, a solid winning streak of special elections, the colossal incompetence of Congressional Republicans, and real legal punishment starting to be delivered to Donald Trump with almost certainly more to come, and the Democrats’ response to all this amazing news is…
...to wring their hands over Biden’s age, and float the idea of finding a new candidate in the last minute to be decided by party convention delegates.
It’s time for Democrats to stop worrying and start working with joyful enthusiasm to re-elect one of the most effective, liberal, and impactful presidents in our nation’s history—Joe Biden

She will become president for the duration of Biden's term. A new Democrat candidate will be chosen to run for office. Kanela, the brown skinned, will retire from office, with accolades, as the first woman, and the first black woman with all the perquisites and privileges of all retired Presidents of the USA.

At the press conference, Biden was particularly incensed by the mention of his son in the report.
“How in the hell dare he raise that?” asked the indignant president. “Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself, it wasn’t any of their damn business.”
However, as NBC News now reports, “Hur never asked that question, according to two people familiar with Hur’s five-hour interview with the president over two days last October. It was the president, not Hur or his team, who first introduced Beau Biden’s death, they said.”
The media lied to me....again.

Then, whoever the VP is will assume the White House and another follow-on leftist picked for that person's VP.

I had a weird rash spreading over my body once, several years ago, around Christmas time. Went to the Army hospital, and the only doctor on duty was internal medicine. We busted out a textbook of some sort with photos of rashes, trying to match mine. I guess a man has to know his limitations. He eventually ID it, prescribed some steroid cream...and, 10 days later when there was no improvement and the dermatologist came back, he said it was candida, steroids only helped the infection, and a simple anti-fungal cream wiped it out quickly.
Not sure I had a point, now that I reflect on my post...

Sorry to hear that.
I had to get an epidural once when I was having a surgery. Apparently my vertebrae are really close together. It took those guys an hour of poking my back to actually get the shot put in the right place. They gave me this pain reliever shot that only lasted like five minutes. I hated how that made me feel, so I told them to do the epidural without it.

But watch the new strategy trotted out by Jon Stewart: "they're BOTH too old!" The work here is to say that Biden's incapacity is just age rather than his obvious cognitive issues which are related to age but not determined by it - there are eighty year olds who are still sharp but Biden clearly is not one of them. This strategy sets things up for them to get rid of Biden last minute and take people's unease at Biden's cognitive decline and transfer it to Trump while they replace Biden with a much younger candidate.

I don't expect anything to happen before the convention. That leaves too much time for other candidates to make their case and insist that the choice be left to the people.
More likely, he will be crowned as the nom, and then have an unfortunate health episode which requires him to step down. They will all intone about how much he's done, and how sad they are that he gave so much to the country that it damaged his health.

LA Times, POLITICS
For Black pioneers Harris and Obama, different times mean different approaches on race, BY Noah Bierman, Staff Writer, Jan. 24, 2021 5 AM PT
In part, from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump
ISBN 978-1-250-17945-6
The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump is a 2017 book edited by Bandy X. Lee, a forensic psychiatrist, containing essays from 27 psychiatrists, psychologists, and other mental health professionals describing the "clear and present danger" that US President Donald Trump's mental health poses to the "nation and individual well being".[1] A second edition updated and expanded the book with additional essays.[2] Lee maintains that the book remains strictly a public service, and all royalties were donated to the public good to remove any conflict of interest.[3]

The vice president is the primary starting point for invoking the 25th Amendment, specifically the fourth section. The vice president, in conjunction with either a majority of the executive Cabinet or a specific "body" designated by Congress, must invoke the Amendment in tandem.

VPs don't attract votes, and even if they did, Trump's going to win FL anyway. If somehow Trump becomes president, the VP is a useless job that literally doesn't do anything but break ties in the Senate. A sack of meat tied to one of those dipping birds could do that.
No, if the desire is to have DeSantis join the Trump administration and make a difference, you bring him in as a cabinet secretary. Make him AG and have him clean up the DOJ, or SecState and have him clean up the State Department.

Biden has never been anything more than a puppet of Obama and his radical people from his Administration. This has always been Obama's third term and he has been running the show behind the scenes with his people, while using the mentally gone Biden as nothing but a figurehead.
So whether Biden is "President" or Harris is "President" matters not. Neither of them is actually running the country. Obama and the Deep State, as well as WEF infiltrators, have been running things since January 2021. And all of them were working behind the scenes to sabotage the Trump Administration from January 2017 to January 2021.

Nah. The whole VP becomes President thing is deeply, deeply flawed when compared to real life. VPs often make terrible presidential candidates, and it's more about institutional support. The assumption is that a VP already has the institutional support, but even that's not enough.
DeSantis coming off of four years as a successful AG or SecState with Trump's endorsement already has a cleared path, plus he gets points for (hopefully) having done meaningful work in making improvements to the administrative state. VP who stands around waiting to be pointed in a direction is such an overrated position.

Completely agree. Don't bury a star in the warm-up position where a VP becomes a non-entity under a domineering Trump. Put DeSantis where he can be proactive, vocal, and controlling and let him build up a portfolio of Federal success. Then, like you said, let him move into the Presidency with the momentum. Hopefully, Trump won't think of DeSantis as a threat anymore and will focus on his own priorities which are vengeance and pushing MAGA into the deep recesses of government.

Oh, if he runs he'll win in another landslide. For the third time.
They're likely discussing the reality of agencies preventing him taking the seat.
Facing that danger is one of the things that is so appealing about him, too. It would be a lot easier and cheaper and safer to just go away. But he's not. He's facing all of this, and I think it's because he loves America.

His Truth Social posts show age-related decline. Now, age-related is not the same as disease-related, but let's face it - old people decline - physically, emotionally, mentally, etc. They just do. It's reality. All we're talking about it is the depth and breadth of the decline.
Biden is no longer functional. Compared to Biden, Trump is a spry 20 year old. But compared to, say, Vivek, or his Celebrity Apprentice self 20 years ago, Trump obviously shows a decline. Most of his decline seems centered on emotional, since his rants can be unreadable at times and his timing of insults no longer helpful...

I think, bizarrely, Pence helped Trump quite a bit in getting elected. He appealed to the older, moderate, casual Christians of the GOP that were turned off with some of Trump's rhetoric and general reputation. Pence added the "respectability" and more traditional angle to attract those voters. In such a narrow victory, I think it actually helped a lot. Not to win one state, but a critical sliver of general voters.

That is the secret sauce why GOPe leaders do not want honest elections. They hire these contractors for the primaries to GOTV--what they actually do is collect ballots, fill them out, and put submit them. This takes a live feed from the SoS voter history file and these harvesters look for people unlikely to vote in a primary (most voters usually) and then submit them.
The fraud was from Nikki's side as Trump was after the caucus votes which were meaningful. Want to get rid of GOPe, get rid of primaries and substitute caucuses. Much harder to subvert.

Dear lord, this is nonsense. He was VP for 8 years. He was Obama's VP for 8 years. He was effectively the black candidate. He was not some unknown entity. The media went from covering for him to attack him to covering him over the course of about 9 months.
The idea that "this time is different" is silly. Yeah, they obviously want him to drop out, but the idea that they'll keep to it until the election is just so weird. The idea that Biden is ready to step aside (which you don't make, admittedly) is nonsense. The only way to get rid of him is to kill him, and the media writing stories about his corruption won't do that.

The only prayer that Trump has to stay in office if by some miracle that he beats the cheat--is to take offense and grind the Uniparty down. A bunch of investigations are necessary to hobble their comms on Capitol Hill and K street as well as non profits.
Personally, I would consider DeSantis as FBI director rather than AG. The AG needs to be someone like Matthew Whitaker that has already seen the elephant (he was acting AG for a time) and knows how to ride herd on the existing structure.

I don’t think Trump should put a white guy as his VP. And Conservative women have a history of becoming Palin. Or Kari Lake.
He needs like a Hispanic or a black.

I wouldn't even call him a powerhouse now.

Yes and no. I think they're terrified of Kamala the Campaign. She's god-awful and everyone knows it. However, if they could pull off a "basement strategy" a la Biden for her and keep her off the campaign trail - just appoint her to the job because Not Trump - they'd be ecstatic. Obama et al. would be in heaven leading her around like the token that she is while maintaining all the reigns.
I'm holding a 50/50 position that Biden will be replaced at the DNC convention with Harris and they'll run with it knowing the MFM will become the most vocal Harris advocates seen in history. It's not a good bet, but it's one of the options to which they're resigned.

Sure, but it'll end. "It's old news. Biden is the nominee, and the only important thing is beating Trump."
That's an argument that they won't be effective, not that they aren't trying. I think they are trying, and will be effective in the long run, i.e. before the election.

The problem with someone from outside DC is that his 'helpers' from the bureaucracy will string them up. EPA administrator was one such guy from OK and a good dude. His underlings purposefully launched a coup using remodeling the office for security ruse and then hammering him over it.
Reagan had the same problem with Richard Allen and his Sec. of Labor Ray Donovan. Deep state toadies in those departments aimed at bringing them down by any means necessary.
I can see an outsider working better if the department was online with a dispersed work from home. That forces comms to be more open and makes it more difficult for collaboration among the bureaucrats.
Better to squander money having a lot of bureaucrats on paid holiday than to have them screw up everything they touch by being present in their offices.

You need competent administrators to reform any large organization because of the inertia, in the most benign sense, and root out malicious corruption, in our current mess. Trump's biggest mistake was not hiring people who had been turfed out by Obaka. Like J. Christian Adams for EEOC and the guy who ran the Diplomad, W. Lewis Amselem, for State Dept.

Bernie was the powerhouse of 2020. Hell, he was arguably the powerhouse of 2016. He was the only one in that divided field who could get 35-40% of the vote until everyone suddenly dropped out.

Thus, the huge push in 2024 to bring every Fed back at least 50% of the time. It's partly about paying for DC...and yet partly not. Some had more telework days pre-Covid at this point. But fortification is getting prepared...and it's easier to fortify in person in unrecorded conversations than on emails and texts...

Sure, but Letters of Marque and privateers are an interesting anachronism in the Constitution. I have to think they'd be useful at some point, still. Probably shouldn't give the Dems any ideas on how to further fight the Russians...

Your point makes my point. The Dems didn't want Bernie because he had NO appeal to blacks, and was a guaranteed loser in the general election.

Bernie was on the outs because he wasn't of the body. He wasn't of the machine. He was too uncontrollable.
The idea that the black vote is key is ridiculous. They just invent the numbers anyway.
