Some of you guys that were theorizing that Biden was set up to be pushed out by his own party... you've got some ammunition now:

quote:

Operatives at the very highest levels of the Democratic Party threatened Joe Biden with forcibly removing him from office unless he stepped down, sources told The Post.

The well-orchestrated “palace coup” to stop the faltering president seeking re-election has been in place for weeks, but stubborn Biden fought against it every step of the way, a source close to the Biden family told The Post Monday.

The insider also made clear the anger, paranoia and frustration Biden displayed as the party elite circled around him and piled on the pressure.

Part of the “elaborate” strategy to remove Biden from the race – as he announced in a shock letter posted on X Sunday – was allowing him to debate Republican candidate Donald Trump last month on live TV in Atlanta.

During the car crash 90-minute debate, Biden appeared confused, slack-jawed and at one point he froze up, with his shocking performance turning the tide against him.

Republicans wouldn’t have voted for that nonsense.

There would be no Republicans involved in invoking the 25th.

EDIT: I was wrong.

Democrats attempted a coup against Trump and are actively trying to put him in prison. So of course they’ll bully Biden.

They would need the GOP in both chambers if Biden fought the 25th amendment process

And? It was a threat—Biden wouldn’t know for sure the Repubs wouldn’t be in favor of it

They think so little of their voters’ intelligence that they covered up his mental acuity for 4 years and pretended to be blindsided by his performance in the debate. Does this infuriate them like it should? Absolutely not. They are cult members incapable of embarrassment or shame. Maybe they are justified to think so little of them.

It’s really hard to fathom how depraved these people are. We’ve kind of normalized it to the point where we’re desensitized to it, but the lengths they will go to hold on to power is very alarming.

It isn’t beyond the realm of possibility to believe that, after his horrible debate performance showed he was in cognitive decline and his subsequent refusal to drop out, that Democratic leaders didn’t (in some
fashion) threaten to invoke the 25th amendment.

But the idea that they had been doing it prior to the debate doesn’t seem to pass the smell test. The wording of the article itself gives some clues.

IIRC, the June debate was announced in early to mid May. In that case, a “well orchestrated palace coup” would have to have been in place for months, not weeks.

But even in that event, the language used by the article was that Biden was “allowed” to debate thereby revealing in incompetence. If the point of the “coup” was to get him to step down, the would have “forced” him to debate.

You must be joking.

After all the crap Trump did to steal the election from Biden with fake alternative electors and the J6 attempt to stop the certification of the 2020 election results; and the vacuous lies he spread about ficticious election fraud- nothing comes close to comparing to that.

Serious question. Does Biden even have Power of Attorney over himself? I don't believe Biden us even aware that he dropped out. They purposely told him that he had Covid to keep him secluded while they pulled off a Coup.

Although Biden immediately endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate for president, the source said Democratic delegates will be strongly encouraged to instead back Arizona senator and former astronaut Mark Kelly for president at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August.


Wonder who the source is.

You could tell from the moment he walked into the debate that they hadn’t drugged him up this time.

This is what I've been saying would happen since the date of the debate were set.

And the 25th amendment was almost the self destruct button for them. But democrats don't care. They will blow it all up for them to retain power.
