"I'm Not Going Anywhere," Dark Brandon Promises, and Demands That Democrats "End" All Chatter About Him Dropping Out of the Race

Top Democrat House members are continuing to call for him to withdraw.

At least four House Democratic committee leaders said on a Sunday afternoon call with Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) that President Biden should end his 2024 candidacy, according to three senior House Democrats.
...
"People are upset and think he's got to step down," said one senior Democratic lawmaker, who, like others, spoke to Axios on the condition of anonymity to describe a private session.
What we're hearing: Multiple Democrats who lead House committees said on the 2 p.m. call, led by Jeffries, that Biden should drop out, one senior House Democrat told Axios.
Those Democrats: Reps. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), Joe Morelle (D-N.Y.), Adam Smith (D-Wash.) and Mark Takano (D-Calif.), the ranking members of the Judiciary, House Administration, Armed Services and Veterans Affairs panels, respectively, the lawmaker said.
One of the lawmakers who described the call to Axios said those four were "among many others" who raised concerns about Biden, estimating that "at least half" voiced apprehensions.
...
Zoom in: One of the lawmakers on the call told Axios that "most of the concern addressed colleagues in swing districts and more vulnerable seats."
"It was about how to win the presidency and the Senate and the House ... there was a lot of concern [that] if we continue in this direction, we could have problems regaining a majority," they added.

But Biden has now given Democrats their marching orders: "End" all talk of Biden leaving the race. But does he have the juice to make them obey?

President Biden told congressional Democrats that it's time to "end" the pressure on him drop out via a Monday letter sent just ahead of Congress' return from its July 4 recess.
Why it matters: Lawmakers have told Axios they expect calls for Biden's withdrawal to grow once lawmakers are back in town. Biden's letter is a clear attempt to tamp down those calls before they arise, but initial reaction shows it could be stoking additional ire.
What he's saying: Biden said in the letter he has had "extensive conversations with the leadership of the party, elected officials, rank and file members and, most importantly, Democratic voters over the past 10 days or so."
"I have heard the concerns that people have ... I am not blind to them," Biden said.
But, he said, "I wouldn't be running again if I did not absolutely believe I was the best person to beat Donald Trump in 2024."
The president wrote that he is "firmly committed to staying in the race" and that "the question of how to move forward has been well-aired for over a week now. And it's time for it to end."
...
What we're hearing: Biden's Monday letter is being met with mixed reaction on Capitol Hill.
One senior House Democrat, asked if they think the letter will succeed in extinguishing pressure on Biden to withdraw, told Axios: "No."

The new spin coming from Biden's people is that we must all accept the democratic results of the primary that Biden completely rigged. How can we save democracy if we don't accept democracy?

He's also now reframing himself as some kind of populist, and the real defender of the people from the machinations of "the elites."

A defiant President Biden expressed frustration Monday at Democratic "elites" who have called for him to drop out of the race, daring critics to "challenge [him]" at next month's Democratic convention in Chicago.
Why it matters: Ahead of a pivotal week to prove his skeptics wrong, Biden called into MSNBC's "Morning Joe" to reinforce a simple message: He's not going anywhere.
What they're saying: "If any of these guys don't think I should run, run against me. Go ahead. Announce for president -- challenge me at the convention," an animated Biden told his favorite cable news program.
"It drives me nuts people are talking about this," Biden said Monday of the discourse following his debate performance.
"The bottom line here is, we're not going anywhere. I'm not going anywhere," Biden said.

Politico:

President Joe Biden slammed his critics as "elites" in a live interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Monday, daring any challengers to run against him as he doubled down on his vow to stay in the race.
"I'm getting so frustrated by the elites -- now I'm not talking about you guys -- the elites in the party, 'Oh, they know so much more.' Any of these guys that don't think I should run, run against me. Announce for president, challenge me at the convention," Biden told hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.
During the audio-only interview, Biden shot down Brzezinski's description of him as the presumptive Democratic nominee. "I'm more than the presumptive, I'm going to be the Democratic nominee," Biden said, laughing.
...
Biden is leaning heavily into a strategy he's turned to in the past: casting his critics as "elites" who aren't in step with the average Democratic voter.
One of the primary reasons Biden has been visiting stops around the country was to "make sure my instinct was right about the party still wanting me to be the nominee," he said. Biden boasted about his "large" and "enthusiastic" crowds and made a jab at criticism that he relies on a teleprompter, saying "I did it all extemporaneously."
"I'm not getting any of what I was told. I wanted to make sure I was right, that the average voter out there still wanted Joe Biden," he said. "And I'm confident they do."
...
He reiterated his belief that he is the best candidate to beat former President Donald Trump in November, who he said "hasn't done a damned thing since the debate" and is "riding around in his golf cart."

Biden, who it has been shown repeatedly cannot walk for more than 20 yards, is continuing to attack Trump for riding a golf cart instead of walking the course.

You'll remember that during the debate, Populist Joe challenged Trump to a golf game, "if you carry your own bag."

Populist Joe can't even carry his own colostomy bag, am i rite or am i rite

Populist Joe -- the candidate of the elites -- is so angry at those darned elites! He might even start challenging these elites to a push-up contest!

Biden, who is said to watch "Morning Joe" every morning, called into the show to renew his pledge after a total of nine Democrat lawmakers reportedly called for his resignation.
"They're big names! But I don't care what those big names think," Biden said when asked about his opposition. "I'm getting so frustrated by the elites ... the elites in the party."
"All the data, all the data shows that the average Democrat out there voted, and 14 million of them had voted for me. Still want me to be the nominee," he said.

Wait, isn't populism the most dangerous form of politics? Isn't it akin to fascism?

Well, there is no way to force Biden out of the race. And he does have 99% of the Democrat delegates from the rigged primary, and no one can free those delegates from Biden except Biden (or the Angel of Death).

But the pressure will continue to mount.

Unless it doesn't -- if Democrats get the message that Biden will not drop out for any reason and that continuing to talk about him being unfit for office is only guaranteeing a Trump victory, maybe they will stop the public campaign to pressure him to leave the race.

Axios says those committed to dumping Biden don't plan on stopping.

We're now in uncharted, historic waters: President Biden -- backed by first lady Jill Biden and his convicted son, Hunter, who's serving as de facto gatekeeper for longtime friends -- says that nothing, besides an act of God, will persuade him to quit his re-election campaign.
But outside Biden's protective bubble, a fast-growing number of Democrats are praying for --and plotting -- a more earthly intervention. They want everyone from the Obamas to congressional leaders to beg Biden to drop out by this Friday.
Why it matters: Biden and his Democratic critics share one common passion -- the intensity, certainty and irreversibility of their positions. Both plan fierce public and private campaigns to see who buckles.
It won't be him, Biden says publicly and privately. On a Saturday call with his national campaign co-chairs, Biden sounded full-speed ahead. He vowed to spend more time talking directly to voters, whether at town halls or press conferences.
The big picture: Democratic lawmakers have gone from shock, to sadness, to madness since the debate 10 days ago. These Democrats, further deflated by Biden's high-stakes ABC interview, believe there's nothing he can do to reverse the damage -- or his aging.
"The sh*t is going to hit the fan on Monday, when Congress returns," a House Democrat told us. "People are scared about their own races. But they're also worried about the country, and about democracy."
Lawmakers were antsy enough about Biden during their Fourth of July break this past week. There'll be even greater torque when they're venting, raging and plotting in person.
"Every single person not named Biden," or paid by the president, recognizes how deep a hole he's in, said a top Democratic operative who's talking nonstop to elected officials.
David Axelrod, former President Obama's political architect, described Biden's posture in an opinion piece Saturday: "Denial. Delusion. Defiance." Axe said a growing chorus of Democrats is "fearful of an electoral disaster."

A possible sign that Biden has brought Democrats back in line: Corrupt Deep State shill Mark Warner had called for a "huddle" with Democrat Senators to discuss Biden's place in the race -- and presumably, how to move him out of that place -- but that meeting has been called off.

Senate Democrats won't meet Monday to discuss their support for President Biden continuing his re-election bid, despite an effort by Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) to organize such a meeting, Axios has learned.
Why it matters: Warner's meeting had been seen as a potential watershed moment for Senate Democrats, who have remained largely silent on Biden's future amid calls for him to step aside.
The big picture: Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) last week was reaching out to Democratic senators about meeting to discuss Biden's path forward, but that meeting was never scheduled, a person familiar with Warner's thinking told Axios.
Details of the proposed meeting leaking out made it impossible for there to be a private conversation, the source said.
Senate Democrats as a whole will meet Tuesday for a regularly scheduled caucus meeting.

Speaking of A(xel)-Rod, he's saying it's more likely that Biden "loses in a landslide" than he "wins narrowly."

I mean, yes, that's obvious, but it's so rare to hear a Democrat say something truthful, we should note it every time it happens.

"He's not winning this race," said David Axelrod, who is credited as one of the key masterminds behind Obama's two presidential victories, to CNN's "Inside Politics."
"If you just look at the data and talk to people around the country, political people around the country, it's more likely that he'll lose by a landslide than win narrowly this race," Axelrod said of Biden, 81, who was Obama's vice president.

Biden's continuing his strategy of getting angry and "so frustrated" as a way to show Democrats He fights:

Joe Biden is screaming and having a full-blown meltdown on Morning Joe daring his party members to challenge him for the nomination.

Meanwhile, the entire GOP is 100% unified behind Trump without any question.

I do not believe this for a second. But even if - IF - it happens, it is because:

1. The Deep State has insiders in the Trump camp and know that with Dem and GOP help, they can block him at every turn.

2. The Deep State knows the show is almost over and would rather have Trump and the GOP take the blame for a ruined economy.

Supposedly ketones will feed the brain, when it can't accept the other "food". Biden needs to take a lot of ketones ... because he won't get ketones from his diet of ice cream.

62 I love this so much

Joe is a populist! he's a glad-hander, a panderer, and a thug. Perfect Dem leader.

this is a waiting game; if they hold out long enough, all the assholes will go back to the reservation post haste.

dont you want to hear the press then? quickly wishing away all that they are saying now?

it will be entertaining, I think entertaining enough to accept being wrong about Biden giving in "for a price" or whatever.

there is no price

he has the power, he's President right now. he's the nominee. clever little obamites think they can wish anything into being.

they're about to hit reality head on.

Donny Douchebag. How did he get rich? How is he a pundit? How is he qualified to advise anyone on anything? There was another billionaire who just recently wised up to the fact that water's wet and democrats are lying about Biden's state. All I kept thinking was: If you ever thought people got exorbitantly wealthy because they're smart, you're a fool. So why anyone listens to them as if they're omniscient and have the keys to life... good luck with that.

71 Top Democrat House members are continuing to call for him to withdraw.

It's not just that so many are calling for him to step down, it's that so many of them in the party and the media (BIRM) are the rainmakers, not back-benchers.

The only way they stop is if they conclude they really can't force him out, and further criticism just does more damage to the ticket. They're a long way from that (IMHO).

1. I think the main problem for the Dems is that no one had the balls or the organization to step forward and lead the party. (Big Mike? Newsome? ) They needed a leader to claim it.

2. When things collapse, they collapse. People stay home and there is no one there to run all the fake ballots or pay off the harvesters. This kills the party all the way down to city councils.

Yes. In contrast, the author of the papal history Absolute Monarchs (can't remember the name) said that as he went into JP1s pontificate, he believed in the murder theory, but came to the conclusion that the pope was a sick man and his time came all too soon.

Posted by: BeckoningChasm

Wave elections can result in change because the new blood is not yet contaminated and the GOPe cannot rig enough of the primary races. Reagan and the Senate in 1980 is an example. Twelve new senators plus the majority drastically changed the GOP there.

That won't happen in the Senate but the House is more likely to be affected in a wave election and since a lot of the bedwetting Ryan types have left, it probably will lead to a more conservative House if the wave occurs.

164 Ageism will be the death of us all. Tomorrow is promised to NO ONE and there is simply no predictable trajectory for changes with age. to ignore Biden's track record, documented positions, and vision... is unbelievable.

I have tremendous disdain for most of the reporters and pundits right now and am only satisfied to think that THEIR TIME IS COMING. Ditto some of the opportunistic politicians--even from the LEFT.

Amid allegations of Biden’s decline, no one can point to anything he’s done wrong as a consequence of aging. Ageism doesn’t require proof.

Replace Biden people has no plans except to just trash Biden and force him out of the race. They just like it cause it sounds good on twitter.

American voters just don't do landslides anymore. That is unrealistic of Schiff. The last landslide I know of was 1984, Reagan over Mondale. The political climate (and media climate w propaganda outlets like Fox and Newsmax) now is that Presidential elections are close.

I have been disappointed in many people I previously admired. I hope the Democrats unite behind Biden when they see it's what the voters want.

good question, maybe they were really rattled? he and his wife Amanda Palmer had an acrimonious breakup during lockdown in NZ, now the girl he was cheating on her with does this, most likely for cash?

he has Sandman Season 2 coming out on Netflix, and Good Omens was greenlit for a third season there as well. I have heard there will be a live action Coraline in the works, and his Ocean at the End of the Lane theatrical show did really well and is coming to the US.

he's done some writing for the Good Omens thing and does some script doctoring but likely the Netflix deals are what shone the spotlight on him for these accusations.

Fairly common technique when a sea change is happening but you can't arrange it in time with the first death, you find someone respected but innocuous who will have a short term. Nerva after the death of Domitian is a good example, and he adopted a young General everyone liked to avoid a civil war breaking out in a very short time. Trajan was essentially Emperor from that point on.

Russia did that too before Gorby. Gorby and Romanov had not solidified their factions, so the put up old guy Chernyenko while the struggle for power played out.

After the final climactic battle, the old ape just meandered off into the sunset. He appeared largely unhurt, but died that evening, probably of exhaustion and perhaps heartbreak.

I bring this up for no particular reason.

Evidence is split on whether male gorillas recognize their offspring. Personally, I think they do, at least in close-nit family packs. Female gorillas recognize their babies.

I was at the Calgary Zoo last summer. They have a gorilla exhibit and one of the females gave birth to a baby male only a few weeks earlier. She cared for it like a mother would. She clearly recognized it as her own.

The baby was the son of the lone dominant male. Since the baby was male, I asked how long before they had to move the new male out. They said it wouldn't be for a long time. The male wouldn't reach sexual maturity for years, and since it was the alpha's son he would be more lenient. They were sure he would recognize his son. I assume they know what they're talking about.

ALWAYS buy the 3 or 4 year extended warranty on cheap TVs.

Something will fail more often than not after a year or two, and if it's something like a wi-fi card or similar you make the claim, send the photo of the cut cord (because they're not paying to ship that big TV anywhere or to repair it locally), and then confirm they don't want it back after you cash the check.

Fix the cord, find a wifi card or other part on ebay, and...

The cable channels are more compressed so they can squeeze all the data into the stream. Same with the sub channels on the OTA channels.

That is one of the arguments in the dating Culture wars currently.

Now, when they were in their 20s themselves they ignored men and slept with men with money that were older and richer.

All leftism is a cult, with the perfect dear leader at the top as God. They just wait for notes on what they are supposed to believe in or damn.

It has been funny how few of the Feminists protested when men in funny wigs started muscling them out of jobs, and now Sports.

430 Does that guy still glue down a pair of Hillary shoes where she was thrown into the Scooby van? Most hilarious thing I think I've ever seen.

431 If you have a dedicated room, a projector is hard to beat. I've got my new 135 inch tension screen coming in a room that should have never been able to accommodate it. No need to ever go to a movie again.

433 My guess is Hillarhoid is waiting to be drafted by the DNC, where she can "reluctantly" come out of retirement to save the Party and country, a la Cincinnatus.

I don't think she'd ever be the pick, but if she just said screw it at this point and became the first big name to say he needs to release his delegates and declares herself a candidate, that might get her an early lead on the inevitable.

435 "Joe Biden is screaming and having a full-blown meltdown on Morning Joe daring his party members to challenge him for the nomination.

"Meanwhile, the entire GOP is 100% unified behind Trump without any question.

This meltdown is quite epic."

Mika & 3X Joe and their ilk are concerned? No, her brothers are pretty much running NATO, and for Ukraine.

All imho so it's on me.

PS - How about a UN Ambassador check?

As of June 20, 2024, according to tracking by The Washington Post and Partnership for Public Service, 187 nominees have been confirmed, 23 nominees are being considered by the Senate, and 7 positions currently do not have nominees.[3] Wikipedia.

Contrary to 1st reports, they, too, have included several major campaign donors who were not well received in their host countries.

Commissions and Boards, 2024, key appointments to Commissions and Boards?

436 I can hear one of those old newsreel voiceovers "From Cankles to Cackles, this is YOUR Democrat Party." if the Kamala Clown Car takes the nomination

437 Note the following BIG piece of the puzzle missing from the picture.
Sure, you have party big wigs and even few elected reps calling for Biden to step aside. But NONE of them are declaring him in cognitive decline.
And they dare not. - If Biden stays in the race (I still say he will), any public statement by a prominent Demonrat will be used by Trump and the RNC in devastating ad campaigns. But if the Dems aren't willing to declare ol' Joe non compos mentis, then they don't have anything approaching compelling argument that he NEEDS to quit. And if they do declare him mentally incompetent: Dark Brandon will go to war against them! That bitter-old-man-shouting-at-clouds will dig in deep and spite the hell out of them.
So their argument that Joe just needs to make way for a "better" candidate is a loser. It's fading. And it will continue to fade. Joe stays. (If they could expose an actual dementia medical diagnosis... that _might_ be a different story.)

438 "He graduated from Yale Law, man.

Hunter transferred into Yale Law on the basis of a single interview with the Dean. It's notoriously hard to get into but nearly impossible to fail out of.

439 He won every primary. Has never lost an election. I think Democrats want to undermine Our Precious (Democracy) by ousting the winner of the Democrat voters.

440 They are now and have only ever been worried about Democrat-cy, not democracy.

441 Why are we accepting that Biden wrote that letter?

"... Biden's letter ...", "... Biden said in the letter ...", "The President wrote ..."; every single one of those statements is a LIE.

Biden didn't write that letter.
The Biden's ex-babysitter wrote that letter, with help from assorted assholes other than Joe.
You know to whom I refer: The one with a bull-shit doctorate, and a serious lust for power and perks.

Every time we grant agency to the brain-dead, physical, ethical, and moral cripple occupying the White House, we make a grave error - Biden is and was a loathsome, evil power-monger, but seriously people, the lights might be on, but no-one is home.

IOW, we don't think we can beat the margin of fraud with his name on the ticket.

443 To Libertarian Party Colorado: I'm a real TV fan, and saw this LG 65" 4K UHD Smart TV at Sam's yesterday, 65UQ7070ZUE $448.
...This thing had a picture that rivaled the $3,000 tvs next to it showing exactly the same feed. I was *really* impressed. You should take a look.

...Sams also has an LG 70" for $498. I'm not an employee of either LG or Sams, and don't get a commission.
