Politico: Biden Bitter and Angry About Democrat Oligarchs Forcing Him Out of the Race

Joe, if you were a man, you would have told them to stuff it.

But you're an old, feeble cuck.


Biden harbors lingering frustration at Pelosi, Obama, Schumer

Ahead of the convention that's meant to unify the party, tensions still remain.

Biden will be shhpeaking on the first night of the convention, instead of the last night. He has the ex-president slot, not the current candidate slot.


President Joe Biden is frustrated that Barack Obama wouldn't tell him to his face that he should leave the race. He's angry with Nancy Pelosi and views her as ruthless for ushering him out the door. And he's still miffed at the role Chuck Schumer played, too.

Biden has told his closest aides and associates that he is coming to terms with his decision to bow out of the presidential race last month, but still harbors some frustration toward the members of his own party he believes pushed him out, according to three people familiar with Biden's thinking who are not authorized to speak publicly about private conversations.


...


A senior White House official, also granted anonymity to describe private conversations, said Biden views Pelosi as "ruthless" and willing to set aside long-term relationships in order to keep her party in power -- and, most importantly, to prevent Republican nominee Donald Trump from returning to the White House.

"That's who she has always been," the person added.

Pelosi and Biden have not spoken since he stepped away. And the president's anger flashed to the surface during a televised interview that aired this weekend when he namechecked the former speaker as he explained why he quit the race.

"And I was concerned if I stayed in the race, that would be the topic," Biden told CBS. "You'd be interviewing me about why did Nancy Pelosi say, why did so -- and -- and I thought it'd be a real distraction."

Right, it was obvious she and the mutineers would keep on escalating. If Joe had any chance of winning, they would make it plain that they would take that small chance away by always talking him down until he agreed to drop out.

By the way, you remember the deal they offered Joe -- and offered it publicly. If and only if he resigned would they stop attacking him and hail him as a selfless hero who put party over personal ego.

And they did keep up that side of the bargain. The moment Joe was out, all they could do was talk about what a great president he was. Strange that such a great president is disposed of so readily.

But did you notice? It wasn't just acknowledge Democrat partisans who delivered on this "drop out and we'll give you a hero's triumph" treatment. The media also took part in the ritual hagiography of Biden.

I can understand why partisan Democrats put on this very political performance, attacking Biden nonstop until he dropped out, and then, after he'd bowed to their will, giving him the heroic send-off they promised.

But gee willickers, why would our Objective, Straight-Shooting Truth-Tellers of the Media take part in this quit-pro-quo beatification of Biden?

It's almost like they're part of the Combined Arms of the Democrat military.

Biden's also pissy about his "friend" Obama hanging him out to dry:


Biden has long thought that Obama's staff looked down upon him and the president's aides still bristle when Obama allies like David Axelrod or the Pod Save America cast criticize the incumbent. Many people around Biden were rankled when, in 2016, Obama made clear he favored Hillary Clinton to succeed him and not his own vice president.

Don't worry, Joe, the midwit mediocrity Obama looks down on everybody, because he's been told since he was 6 that his perfectly-average IQ was near-god-level.

But Biden's inner circle believes Pelosi was the decisive voice in pushing him out.

His allies thought that, after nearly two weeks of trying to reassure fellow Democrats, his candidacy was on track to be salvaged the morning of July 10. But that was when Pelosi made a now-infamous appearance on "Morning Joe," repeatedly making clear that she did not support Biden continuing his candidacy. The president's aides believe that opened the door for a host of other Democrats and donors to follow suit.


Moreover, Biden's inner circle told him the day before he dropped out that if he persisted in the race they believed that Pelosi was going to take her misgivings public -- including her belief that Trump would defeat him -- which would have been deeply humiliating for a sitting president, two of the people said.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Monday said that Biden "respects" Pelosi and insisted that he has "no hard feelings."

Shyeah. Sure sounds that way.

During her book tour, Pelosi has also been publicly pushing for Biden to be added to Mount Rushmore, which many Democrats privately indicate they see as her attempt to make amends.

More of the quit-pro-quo.

How is everyone today?

Happy Humpday!

20 The whole media thing had this .... odor ... about it. Like the entire thing was scripted.

"Multiple high level Democrats asking for Joe to Step Down, Joe says he is considering it".

A full court media press, fake as a three dollar bill, how would you know? It seemed like a lot of statements about "inside sources say", ultimately demanding Joe to deny.

And he did do that. for a while. "Whatever Joe decides, we will support him"

"I've decided I'm going to stay in the campaign"

"Ultimately, it is his decision, and we know he will make the right one."

"Yes, as I mentioned I'm running. I'm not going to step down."

"We know he will make the right call." etc.

These grey boxes reflect my mood today.
Saw a clip from the last appearance of Biden I think it was yesterday. He talked about curing cancer by 2020 and then launched into his trek with the Chinese premiere which never happened. Then he started shouting.
This is ridiculous. There has been a coup and we are being governed by an unelected junta and nobody cares!

29 Joe's in such command that he was completely unable to thwart the coup.

All he had to do was challenge them to go through with it.

He could've threatened them by airing all the grievances.

He could've turned it into a political Festivus.

LOL. Seriously? How stupid are these people - the people doing it, and the people assessing it?

If someone I know loudly and routinely talks about how big a piece of shit I am and then says, "I'm gonna try to get the entire Dallas Cowboy cheer squad to head over to his place and hand out hummers all night," it isn't going to "make amends" because I *know* that the latter is not ever going to happen. It is so outlandish that even saying it will just make me dislike the person even more.

"You're a shitheel and I hate you, but lemme make some outlandish and transparently false plans for you" is stupid.

87 Biden is all in on the Kamala coronation. That’s all you need to know. I’m sure there are millions in his future laundered through phony book advances and speaking, I mean, sputtering fees.

93 Pelosi is the founding crow of the deep state. She is so entrenched and has files on so many, that they are afraid of her - I am talking her own party. Biden should have told her to get out. force her to play her cards. She distributed many, many billions among her buddies and now they all owe her. And she is threatening to cut them off if they go against whatever she is doing. She bought many people with other people's money (OURS !), over so many years that she thinks she is invincible.

97 MushBrain and The Older Ho visited my workplace yesterday. Not close by, they never came within a quarter mile of my office, thank God. Also fortunately, when they left they headed west out to the big airport. If they'd used the old Navai Air Station field on my side of the river, I'd have been stuck on this side for hours. Why do politicians *always* travel around at rush hour in the cities they visit?

I also recall some years ago, when Big Mike was to speak at a private home just yards from my office. My windows overlooked the garden of the house. Secret Cervix types showed up and asked politely that I close my blinds until they gave me the word. I thought, "A cat can look at a king, or a queen," but complied. I didn't really want to see her or her sycophants anyway.

The deal may have *always* been that Biden would go when needed and be replaced with Kamala. None of us know. We only know what the media and Democrat "insiders" tell us. And that amounts to jack shit.

If there was "tension" there would be sabotage from many directions. There would be "stories" galore leaking about nasty Kamala. All I see is a 98% United Kamala Front, and it happened about as quickly as I said it would.

181 Pelosi (and Obama) won the game of chicken with Biden. Initially, Biden called their bluff. They threatened to withhold all money and support and guarantee a loss if he didn't drop out. Biden called them on that correctly--he's really supposed to believe they wouldn't try to help him win at all costs if he were the candidate? Eventually they must have convinced him that they couldn't save him, and that when he went down in flames, they wouldn't be around to so much as piss on the fire. That was a smart play to Biden's ego, and it worked. Pelosi has no problem saying Biden belongs on Mount Rushmore. Small price to pay for getting to cling to power.

Almost certainly.

Unless they want to totally get him off the stage and Kamala in early, by denying him his meds or giving the wrong dose, and let him babble and howl like at the wounded near-retard he is.

Or, on the other hand-

They could dose him properly, train him properly7 to give a barn-burner about how coup by Kamala is not American Democracy and demand a vote using his committed delegates....if the DimE decided Coconut Harris and Walz were even bigger mistakes.

They could always cook the vote to keep both Joe and Kamala out and install Big Mike or someone else.

259 Meanwhile, a major cyberattack has hit Iranian banks - apparently a lot of ATMs have stopped working.

There are indications that the Iranian attack will finally happen tonight, so that coward Blinken cancelled his trip to Israel, because that would increase the pressure on the US to retaliate if Blinken was there.

Meanwhile, perhaps explaining Iranian hesitancy, the Houthi's port is still closed three weeks after Israel attacked it.

Yemen is farther away from Israel than Iran is.

Brussels has accused internal market commissioner Thierry Breton of "going rogue" for sending a letter to Elon Musk, warning of potential punishments if content on X risks EU citizens' safety. The European Commission stated that Breton did not have prior approval for the letter from its president, Ursula von der Leyen. Officials close to Breton claimed the letter was planned beforehand, coinciding with Musk's interview with Donald Trump:

Breton, responsible for enforcing the Digital Services Act, reminded Musk of his legal duties regarding harmful content. Musk responded to Breton with a humorous meme, while a Trump campaign spokesperson condemned the EU's interference in U.S. elections. An EU official noted that they await a formal response from Musk.

The newest shit written about the battle shows the old teaching about it to be wrong. German tank numbers, pre-battle, were about half previously taught. Soviet losses were MUCH worse.

Long story short - the Germans were 1-2 weeks from encircling three Army Groups. But the Allies landed in Italy - Hitler pulled twelve divisions from the Eastern Front - and that was that.

298 Does anyone on DU have lingering frustrations over Joe's decision? Politico: "Biden harbors lingering frustration at Pelosi, Obama, Schumer"

Joe's competence numbers were consistently weak before he announced the decision to drop out of the race. And almost instantaneously after becoming the presumptive nominee, Kamala appeared to be the New Hope for the Democratic Party and the polls are reflecting that observation. Trump is now on defense and not doing very well.

I believe Joe made the right decision.

My frustration is with the party and the nattering class. Joe would have won the election. People would have turned out. Nobody would have stayed home, or voted for tsf instead.

Maybe they wouldnt have been as excited, but they would have voted. The polls were and are garbage.

The only frustrations I have is the clearly unequal treatment the press gave Biden versus **$$Y-Grabber, and also I think those who publicly denounced Biden should have done it privately.

Otherwise, I think Kamala Harris is Biden's legacy to us. She has been terrific.

But it's probably just a coincidence. I'm sure Joe and Jill are really totes upset about graft for the next eight generations of Bidens flowing their way after the party cheated them into office in 2020.

Let's wait and see if Jill gets a giant book advance, eh?

332 Iran has about 80 F14s, something like that. Kept flying through a lot of cannibalization of parts, I doubt maybe half are operational? US defense officials at least give a lot of lip service to the idea that F14 parts are carefully controlled so they don't end up there. But they are an industrious people.

DOD went so far as to send teams around to every VFW or city park around the country that had an F14 on static display, and removed the innards so as to preclude any midnight requisitions of critical parts in short supply.

While I was there - 15 or so years ago, maybe - a family of Japanese tourists asked me to take their picture in front of the monument, and I happily obliged. The camera was fancy and did face recognition for multi-point auto focus back when that was pretty unusual in a compact camera. It worked. It worked really well. It focused on the giant stone heads. I had to ask the dude to turn it off so I could get the picture, because his camera was in Japanese and I don't speak or read Japanese. We had a good laugh, he turned it off, and I snapped the pictures for them.

I periodically laugh about that from time to time.

I can see no reason why a state like Nevada, with legalized gambling, should not have those monies go towards property tax relief. Same with lotteries or other deceptive arithmetical state-run bunko ops.

It really isn't even fair to ask him how feels about anything other than ice cream and open it up to any level of scrutiny.

You may as well ask a 90 year old Alzheimers patient if he thinks it's fair that the kids took his car away and then pick apart his answer..

What has occurred with Biden is sad, sick and the whole situation from initially running him for office to forcing him to pretend to be President is little more than elderly abuse and indictment of the entire political class.

Finally, on September 24, 1986, the U.S. Senate voted in favor of an amendment to pending federal highway legislation, introduced by Senator Steve Symms (R-ID) and supported by President Ronald Reagan, to allow states to increase speed limits on rural Interstate highways to 65 mph.[48] Both the amendment and the highway bill died in a House-Senate conference committee before Congress adjourned for that year.

Basically Trump was naive about Washington and the Uniparty. He assumed that former generals were honorable, his comms people wanted to work for the people, and that his VP and staff were actually trying to support him. Ditto for Mitch and Paulie, that they meant what they had said over and over again.

Says more about the vicious permanent slime class that lives in DC more than it does about Trump.

Remember GWB's admin? I do and good job Brownie, etc. I remember his father firing all the Reaganites because Gentler Kinder bullshit and April Glaspie, GHWB's ambassador, telling Saddam that Kuwait had it coming. I remember GHWB lying himself to the GOP voters and to the general public about no new taxes.

I remember disorder in the Reagan administration when the triumvirate disagreed about things leading to the horrendous 1982 elections that reestablished Tip's control of the House. I remember Reagan getting rolled on immigration amnesty. I remember James Watt getting fired, David Stockman getting fired, etc.

Reagan had a great record as Governor of Cali to run on . He also was great on camera for obvious reasons he appealed to the electorate. I voted for him in 80 and 84.

They actually mention the lawsuits and other unsavory crap in the series. I just watched 3 episodes but it was mostly about the hunt and excavations and failures.

More to the point it is the states allowing themselves to be bribed over it. All in the name of federal highway funds.

Same goes for education. 90 percent of the money spent is by state and local government. But that 10 percent from the feds rules the roost.

Same for Medicaid. And so on. A lot of federal overreach can be cured by a state saying no and making it stick. Too many people are easily bribed by the desire for Other People's Money.

482 Basically Trump was naive about Washington and the Uniparty. He assumed that former generals were honorable, his comms people wanted to work for the people, and that his VP and staff were actually trying to support him. Ditto for Mitch and Paulie, that they meant what they had said over and over again.

Says more about the vicious permanent slime class that lives in DC more than it does about Trump.

Eh. Scaramucci was a bad choice, and no one to blame but Trump for having made it. It wasn't naivete. All of the red flags were there and he never should have been chosen for the position to begin with, and then dumping him 11 days later made a lifelong enemy,

So, yeah, the swamp is bad, we have no quarrel there. But I worry that Trump hasn't gotten better here. I get it, he's not the kind of guy to admit mistakes and I am not suggesting that has to. but he should say I have learned and here are the kind of people that I will hire.....

483 Stuff like this is why I don't read the articles in Miss Linda's People and fashionista magazines. They all quote the celebs they interview as saying things like this.

The top tier all have handlers just like politicians do. Easier to just regard them as scum by default and be done with it. Let the ones that are not scum prove it by deeds and not by words.

Now deceased. Good. That day I had a bag with video camera and my usual camera bag. If there would be anyone who you'd pass a camera to it was me. I set aperture and shutter speed and got a perfect picture with great depth of focus. My wife was beside me. When I showed her the picture inside the book cover she gasped.

487 Wiles is good. Maybe she isnt right for Trump, but she is talented.
Posted by: Nick in Tallahassee


Susan Wiles is deeply connected to WEF, through her alternate former employer, which was owned by Mercury Communications.
I think somebody finally got to Donald and told him that.
She has a great "pedigree" as a Republican consultant, but maybe is just a deep mole.

Did you know that she is Pat Summerall's daughter??

Having lived in DC in the belly of the beast and seeing a lot of the Reagan Revolution playing out in real time, you learn a few facts.

Congress is the Keystone to the Washington Establishment and they have a uniparty relationship with the constellations of government contractors, the bureaucracy, and the special interest groups (aka K Street Bandits).

Every president, however well intentioned or not (Obama came in with ill intentions from the start), faces having to deal with the existing blob. They control who gets put forward, they control the nomination process, they control the agenda of the bureaucracy, etc.

So, essentially a president gets to focus on one or two agenda items and the rest goes to hell in every administration. Trump's focus was on the economy, immigration, and no more wars. He got one and got stalemates on the other two.

491 Knew that Pelosi was a wheel but never thought she was the boss.
Nancy is the boss secundo. She ranks high in the politburo and is the intermediary between them and the operatives at Kalorama.
It makes sense, just like Clinton, she was raised and trained by they mafia. Who has better skills at controlling outcomes?

Nanzi controlled California donor money to the Dems since Tony Coehlo left office. Perhaps some of that money is related to cartels is the whisper.

Nanzi came pre-compromised as her mobbed up father as Baltimore mayor and her criminal brother involved in two gang rapes that he avoided prosecution for becuz of dear ole dad.

495 Biden though Pelosi was ruthless? Gosh, who knew she could be so tough! Wow!

JoeB was there when Pelosi burned down the Democrat Party in order to get Obamacare passed. It really was a life-or-death struggle, and it will (at some distant future point) be a fascinating story of the arm-twisting, threats, and promises she had to make to do that.

Dude.

EVERYONE looks down on him.
