Succession by Defenestration: How Biden’s Withdrawal May Trigger a 25th Amendment Fight

Below is my column in the Hill on the withdrawal of President Joe Biden from the 2024 election. After weeks of Democrats and the media raising the alarm of his mental capacity, Biden finally gave up his public refusal to step aside. Harris will now be the nominee through succession by defenestration, or being tossed from a window. Yet, there remains a lingering question of Biden’s capacity to serve for another six months as president.

Here is the column:

President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw as the Democratic Party’s nominee solved an immediate problem for his party. Biden has plummeted in the polls as the vast majority of voters concluded that he is too diminished by age to serve another term. Yet, it has now created several new problems, including the obvious problem of a president who is viewed as incapable of running for an office that he continues to hold.

The Democratic Party essentially created its own political version of the 25th Amendment in forcing Biden off the ticket. This decision was about as voluntary as leaving a building by way of a window on the 46th floor. That is particularly the case when you are thrown out of the window by your closest friends.

The unseemly image of succession by defenestration will soon be whitewashed by a media that will praise Biden after weeks of declaring him incompetent and enfeebled.

That, however, leaves the lingering question after the fall. How can Biden remain in office when he is incapable of running for the office?

Biden is notably vague about the reason for his withdrawal after maintaining for days that he will be the party’s nominee. He simply says that it is in the best interests of the country.

The Democratic establishment has two equally unappealing options.

First, it could argue that Biden was withdrawing out of recognition that he is no longer politically viable. But that makes a mockery out of the democratic process. Millions of people went through the primary elections to select him as their nominee. Now he would be set aside and replaced by a vote of the party establishment like a shift in the Russian politburo.

Second, it could admit that Biden was, as stated for weeks in the media and by figures like Special Counsel Robert Hur, greatly diminished both mentally and physically. However, that makes this withdrawal an admission that could trigger a fight under the 25th Amendment.

The development could create a new constitutional controversy. The 25th Amendment was written with largely physical disabilities in mind. If a president is comatose, the incapacity is obvious and Section 4 allows the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet to sign a declaration to Congress that a president is incapable of holding office.

However, Harris is eager to avoid the image of Brutus in the dispatching of the president. To support such a declaration would risk Biden proclaiming “Et tu, Kamala?” to the nation. The key to succession by defenestration is not to be seen as the hand that pushes the president out the windowPolitics follows the same rules as the mafia for capo di tutti i capi: Kill a don, never be a don. While sometimes honored in the breach in the mob, it is hardly an auspicious path for a politician.

There is, however, another intriguing possibility.

Section 4 provides that a president’s fitness can be put before Congress when the “Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or such other body as Congress may by law provide.”

Previously Democrats have cited that language to suggest that they could create their own body to force former President Donald Trump out of office. Indeed, Rep. Jaime Raskin (D-Md.) sponsored legislation called the Oversight Commission on Presidential Capacity Act to create a commission empowered to examine a president to Congress on the president’s capacity. It would circumvent the necessity of getting Harris to be the primary hand that dispatched a president.

The question is whether Congress will now make this decision to warrant an investigation or even a Raskin-like bill.

This is different than President Lyndon Johnson’s decision on March 31, 1968, that “I shall not seek, and I will not accept the nomination of my party for another term as your president.”

That was before the end of the primaries. In this case, Biden won a primary in which the Democratic Party obstructed anyone who would challenge him and barred any debate.

Millions voted for him, and tens of millions of dollars were contributed to his campaign. He is now withdrawing weeks before accepting the nomination. That unprecedented decision alone would warrant a House investigation into Biden’s continuing capacity to serve in an office that he no longer believes he can run to occupy after January 2025.

Before this decision, a special counsel cited President Biden’s diminished faculties as a reason not to indict him for unlawfully retaining and handling classified material. Now, the president is effectively saying that, in addition to being allegedly too diminished to be prosecuted, he is too diminished to run for the office that he currently holds.

The question is whether Biden has ended the fight to retain his nomination only to trigger a fight to retain his office.

  1. Biden will resign. He’s just waiting for permission from Obama and Susan Rice. Leader of the Free World but not his Party. How pathetic.

    1. Joetard will be LUCKY if they give him a chance to resign.

      Democrats could get a LOT more sympathy-mileage out of a state funeral, tearfully putting Joetard to rest with 1000 times more dignity than he deserves. And that would also sideline the Trump campaign for a few weeks out of “respect” for Joetard’s passing.

      And Hillary’s heart-felt combination eulogy-nomination acceptanace speech has already been scripted in Hollywood.

  2. Netanyahu met by his own ambassador and no one else at the airport.

    Gonna be hard for Harris to hide her anti semitism.

    1. Outrageous. Yet if the leader of Iran arrived Kamala would likely be there slobbering over him.

    2. Anonymous: explain how that whole “antisemitism“ thing works with her husband, who is JEWISH.

      Netanyahu is an A-hole who doesn’t care what the UN or USA think about the genocide he is committing against the Palestinian people, and that’s why he didn’t get a bigger reception.

      1. Thanks for verifying that this admin, and the Harris campaign, is anti semitic.

        They have your fellow Americans, big mouth. They are terrorists.
        Trump has given them their warning. The hostages will be released between Nov and Jan.

      2. Why dont you address how CERTAIN you were that Biden was going to win in November, Gigi?

        Your horse didnt even make it out of the gate? How does that feel?

        Sux to be you.

        Latest poll. Trump up by 6 over Harris.

      3. The same way it works for Trump, whose daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren are Jewish.

        1. Ivanka HAD to covert or Jared wouldn’t marry her. THAT does not change the anti-Semitic things Trump is quoted to say. Kamala married Doug because they loved each other. His kids call her: “Mamala”.

          1. So, the evil member of the tribe preyed upon the innocent German girl, forcing into a life of servility and insubordination. Is that what you want us to believe?

            You do realize that that’s one of the oldest anti-Semitic tropes in existence, don’t you?

            Do you have a more authoritative reference for your assertion? I don’t think that Protocols or the Elders of Zion will suffice.

            By the way, when your side loses on November 5th, you can always celebrate the anniversary of Kristallnacht a few days later.

            1. Try to stay on topic: we’re talking about Trump and the anti-Semitic things he is quoted to have said over the years.

              1. No, we’re talking about Netanyahu being a genocidal A-hole. You brought it up.

              2. No we’re not but nice try. We are talking about Kamala has to be anti israel because her base is

                1. There is a vast difference between being opposed to the unnecessary deaths and starvation Netanyahu is causing to Palestinian civilians and being anti-Israel. In fact, substantial numbers of Israelis oppose the relentless bombing and especially the refusal to all ow food, water and medicine into Gaza.

                  1. Gigi, the Gazans would likely throw you off a roof, but maybe that happened to you before, and you fell on your head.

                    It is hard for anyone with knowledge who is not an anti-Semite to listen to the way you use the word genocide. There are about 5 million so-called Palestinians. The war was started by so-called Palestinians slaughtering Jews, where the IDF tried to kill as few innocents as possible even though the innocents were involved in the slaughter, hostage-taking and support of the war. Most of the deaths are due to Hamas using women and children like you as shields. Innocents in Gaza are killed by Hamas rockets and by Hamas when they do not follow orders. You support the killing of Gazan women and children by your attitude.

                    Genocide is an attempt to kill people, but many multiples of so-called Palestinians that have died in the war have been born. Doesn’t your idea of genocide look pretty stupid, knowing the population is growing?

                    If you want to stop the deaths from occurring, speak to your Gazan friends and tell them to stop trying to kill Jews, which is what they have wanted to do for over 75 years. It’s in their charter to exterminate the Jews.

                    1. Hamas is a faction. The official ruling body of Palestine is called the “Palestinian Authority”–not Hamas. You don’t even understand this basic difference between a terrorist group and the official government of Palestine, which MAGA media blurs on purpose. The Palestinian Authority did NOT conduct the Oct 7th attack.

                      You want to call me stupid and uninformed, and that’s also one of the themes of MAGA media–anyone who disagrees with you is stupid and uninformed. One major reason for the tension between Israel and Palestine is Israel’s unlawful occupation of the West Bank–which is Palestinian territory. Israel moved in 700,000 Israelis. The UN has condemned this action. A Jewish woman has offered Trump $100 million if he will, if elected, take the official position that the US officially approves of Israel’s occupation of the West Bank. All that would do is increase tensions between the US and Muslim countries and protests here in the US.

                      Israel controls the Gaza strip, and it refuses to allow Palestinians the right of self-governance. One of the first things it did was cut off water. Palestinians don’t even have a consistent source of clean drinking water. Israel has bombed almost all hospitals. It won’t allow in humanitarian aid, and children are starving to death. That is unacceptable. It’s not in the “character” of Palestinians to “kill” Jews–Palestinians want Israel to get out of the West Bank, stop controlling their utilities, and allow them the right of self-governance.

                    2. “Hamas is a faction. The official ruling body of Palestine is called the “Palestinian Authority”–not Hamas. ”

                      First, you should realize that before the State of Israel existed and sometime after, the Jews were called Palestinians. The Jews have been there since Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

                      You need to get some background before you talk. That will prevent you from getting things wrong.

                      The Palestinian Authority takes a leadership position in Judea and Sumeria. They are terrorists like Hamas. Hamas is the leader of Gaza. Gazan autonomy was given by Israel in 2005, and in 2006, Hamas took control and started their war against Israel. If you listen to their leaders, they will tell you their first step is to take over Israel and, next, the United States and the West. When they drafted their charter, it called for the elimination of Israel.

                      “The Palestinian Authority did NOT conduct the Oct 7th attack.”

                      That is the only thing you got right. Hamas conducted the Oct 7th attack.

                      “You want to call me stupid and uninformed.”

                      Though you are, I don’t want to call you stupid and uninformed. I want you to be better educated, but you can’t remember your name. Perhaps this is from Gigi, who knows only slogans that she shouts like a lunatic but never discusses the individual ideas.

                      “One major reason for the tension between Israel and Palestine is Israel’s unlawful occupation of the West Bank–which is Palestinian territory.”

                      You are very ignorant. For many reasons, but this one alone should suffice, Jordan occupied Judea and Samaria. According to international law, it belonged to the Jewish half of the partition of the British mandate.

                      “Israel moved in 700,000 Israelis.”

                      There was no State of Israel when many of them moved in, and many came from the Arab nations from where they were displaced. It’s funny how the anti-Semites don’t recognize the Jews were thrown out of Muslim countries (or, in many cases, killed if they remained), yet the anti-Semites forget that the Muslims were not forced to leave Israel.

                      “Israel controls the Gaza strip, and it refuses to allow Palestinians the right of self-governance.”

                      They provided precisely what you were complaining about regarding autonomy in 2005. The Gazans put Hamas in control in 2006, and Hamas has been attacking Israel since then. The Israeli army responded, and that army is made up of Israelis who are Jewish, Muslim, Christian, black and brown.

                      “One of the first things it did was cut off water. ”

                      Israel provided Gaza with water and electricity since 2005. If they were independent, they should have been able to provide their own, but the billions they were given went into armament, missiles and tunnels. It is the Israelis who kept Shifa Hospital open when Hamas destroyed much of the area. When the generators broke, it was Israel that provided the source of electricity while Hamas was shooting at Israeli soldiers.

                      You know very little about the area, but if you wish to learn more, I am willing to help you with the data and the land ownership laws. But you have to learn to be respectful and treat each bit of data fairly instead of dismissing it. I can provide the sources for many of these laws, proving everything I say.

              3. Gigi has made these claims about Trump before. When her quotes were researched for context, showing the entire paragraphs, it proved Gigi lied. Gigi can only provide distortions and what other people said he said. Lying is a habit of Gigi’s that she will never free herself from.

                She did this previously under the name Natasha, but her reputation became so laughable that she changed her name to Gigi. The liar can change her name but can never change her reputation.

                1. S. Meyer: You are not telling the truth. Just like MAGA media you accuse anyone with whom you disagree of lying. Excerpted from “The Times of Israel”:

                  “Let’s take a closer look at the anti-Semitism controversies surrounding Donald Trump. Is he enabling anti-Semitism? You be the judge.

                  Slurring Jon Stewart, Trump accentuates the comedian’s original Jewish name.

                  On April 24, 2013, Trump seems to go out of his way to highlight the “Daily Show” host’s Jewish background, tweeting: “I promise you that I’m much smarter than Jonathan Leibowitz — I mean Jon Stewart @TheDailyShow. Who, by the way, is totally overrated.”

                  Trump tells Republican Jews: ‘I don’t want your money’

                  In a speech in Washington to the Republican Jewish Coalition last December, Trump appears to traffic in stereotypes about Jews. “You’re not going to support me because I don’t want your money,” he told the Jewish audience. He also says, “Is there anyone in this room who doesn’t negotiate deals? Probably more than any room I’ve ever spoken.”

                  Trump muddles the message on David Duke.

                  After David Duke, the white supremacist and former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, says he supports Trump, CNN’s Jake Tapper asks Trump on Feb. 28 if he would disavow Duke’s support. Though Trump in the past had condemned Duke — and two days earlier at a news conference said, “David Duke endorsed me? OK, all right. I disavow, OK?” — this time Trump demurs.

                  “Just so you understand, I don’t know anything about David Duke. OK? I don’t know anything about what you’re even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists,” he tells Tapper. “So, I don’t know. I don’t know, did he endorse me or what’s going on, because, you know, I know nothing about David Duke. I know nothing about white supremacists.”

                  Pressed on whether he unequivocally disavows the support of the Klan, Trump dodges the question. A day later Trump blames a “bad earpiece” for failing to disavow Duke during the exchange with CNN and notes that he had disavowed Duke previously.

                  After the Anti-Defamation League releases a statement saying, “The onus is now on Donald Trump to make unequivocally clear he rejects those sentiments and that there is no room for Duke and anti-Semitism in his campaign and in society,” Trump responds with a statement saying, “Anti-Semitism has no place our society, which needs to be united, not divided.”

                  Journalist Julia Ioffe is inundated by anti-Semitic vitriol

                  After Melania Trump criticizes Ioffe’s April 27 profile of her in GQ as “another example of the dishonest media and their disingenuous reporting,” the neo-Nazi website Daily Stormer urges followers to “go ahead and send her [Ioffe] a tweet and let her know what you think of her dirty kike trickery.” Ioffe, who is Jewish, then is inundated with a deluge of anti-Semitic online wrath, including a doctored photo of her wearing a Holocaust-era Jewish star, a cartoon of a Jew getting his brains blown out and threats that she would be sent “back to the oven.”

                  The online anti-Semitism directed at Ioffe is similar to online attacks directed at other Jewish commentators who denounced Donald Trump, such as Forward columnist Bethany Mandel.

                  When CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, a Jew and former reporter for The Jerusalem Post, asks Trump if he has a “message” for supporters who were flooding Ioffe with “anti-Semitic death threats,” Trump says, “I know nothing about it. You’ll have to talk to them about that.” He then went on to echo his wife’s criticism of Ioffe’s article. Pressed, Trump says, “I don’t have a message to the fans,” and added, “There is nothing more dishonest than the media.”

                  Trump champions ‘America First’

                  In a major speech designed to unveil his prospective foreign policy agenda, Trump declares, “’America First’ will be the overriding theme of my administration.” The theme carries echoes of the America First Committee, which lobbied hard against America’s entry into World War II and whose most prominent spokesman was aviator Charles Lindbergh, an avowed anti-Semite.

                  A Jewish New York Times editor becomes a target of Trump-supporting anti-Semites

                  After tweeting a link to an essay about emerging fascism in the United States, New York Times editor Jonathan Weisman is attacked by anti-Semitic online trolls identifying themselves as Trump supporters.

                  “Trump God Emperor sent me the Nazi iconography of the shiftless, hooknosed Jew,” Weisman writes in a Times essay about the responses to his tweet. “I was served an image of the gates of Auschwitz, the famous words ‘Arbeit Macht Frei’ replaced without irony with ‘Machen Amerika Great.’ Holocaust taunts, like a path of dollar bills leading into an oven, were followed by Holocaust denial.”

                  Trump’s white supremacist delegate

                  William Johnson, leader of the white supremacist American Freedom Party, is among the list of delegates the Trump campaign submitted in California ahead of the state’s May 9 deadline. After news organizations begin reporting about the controversial delegate, the Trump campaign blames Johnson’s inclusion on its list as a “database error.” Johnson then says he is resigning as a delegate and will not attend the convention.

                  Interpreting Trump

                  Following Trump’s refusal to condemn the anti-Semitic vitriol against Ioffe, Daily Stormer founder Andrew Anglin tells the Huffington Post, “We interpret that as an endorsement.”

                  Trump adviser and lawyer Jason Greenblatt, who is an Orthodox Jew, says, “I do not think Mr. Trump can be responsible for people who are anti-Semitic who support him.”

                  Ari Fleischer, a former spokesman for President George W. Bush and current board member of the Republican Jewish Coalition, shares Greenblatt’s view.

                  “The fact that the Black Panthers came out for Barack Obama doesn’t make Barack Obama a Black Panther sympathizer,” Fleischer tells the Huffington Post. “You cannot ascribe to a candidate the views of the worst radical fringes that may support them. … These arguments about how Donald Trump shouldn’t be supported because fringe radical groups have said good things about him — I reject entirely.”

                  But others note that candidates historically disavow bigots who act in their name — without taking responsibility for their views. In February, the conservative American Spectator urges Trump to take a page from President Ronald Reagan, who forcefully repudiated an endorsement from the Ku Klux Klan. In a letter to the US Commission on Civil Rights in 1984, Reagan wrote, “Those of us in public life can only resent the use of our names by those who seek political recognition for the repugnant doctrines of hate they espouse. The politics of racial hatred and religious bigotry practiced by the Klan and others have no place in this country, and are destructive of the values for which America has always stood.”

                  Shortly after the Ioffe episode, Sheldon Adelson, the hawkishly pro-Israel, super-rich Jewish casino magnate, announces he will back Trump for president.”

                  Now, tell me, what did I distort about what anyone has said? Come on.

                  1. Every word of it. Post the link to the videos.

                    You just cut and pasted that whole thing.

                    Post a link to a video. We dont let other people tell us what was said and give us our opinion about it. That turd dont float here, gas bag.

                    1. I did not cut and paste the entire piece–I excerpted it– and because it is a newspaper article, there is no video.

                  2. “accentuates the comedian’s original Jewish name.”

                    I say, Barrack Hussein Obama, stretching his name out. Does that make him Jewish? No, but your logic insists he is. That is stupid. Where are the Trump anti-Semitic quotes in context? You don’t have them, so you deflect. That is also stupid.

                    “Trump tells Republican Jews: ‘I don’t want your money’”

                    Gigi, I am telling you, Gigi, I don’t want your money. Are you Jewish? You might be, but you sound stupid anyhow.

                    After a long reply, probably copied from another, you still haven’t produced in-context statements of Trump that are anti-Semitic. That is stupid. You are a liar.

                2. S. Meyer: as usual, you spout things you claim are factual in a condescending manner, as if it lends credence to whatever you are claiming. You cite no sources for your claims, but instead call me a liar. Hamas is NOT the government of Palestinians and no matter how many times you say it is, it’s still not true. It’s ironic that you instruct people to get educated about subjects when you don’t even have a basic understanding of the situation.

                  1. Gigi, you continue to lie, incorrectly interpret what others are saying and thinking, and don’t provide any in-context quotes so everyone can judge for themselves.

                    In other words, you rant, cut and paste garbage together, and produce garbage dialogue. Ask yourself why you can’t find the quotes and rely on distortions. You are unable to use the tool of introspection. That leaves you a fool and ignorant.

                    Re the Middle East: Here is a rapidly assembled list of laws, treaties, etc. You can shut up until you are ready to provide data. Stop the lunatic ranting.

                    Balfour Declaration (1917)

                    Legally binding international treaties

                    Article 22 of the League of Nations Covenant Mandate for Palestine (1922)

                    San Remo Resolution (1920)

                    Feisal-Weitzman Treaty (1919)

                    The 1924 Anglo-American Convention [Treaty], ratified by the U.S. Senate in 1925, made it a ****binding U.S. treaty obligation****. It designated the area that is now Israel. It includes Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria.

          2. LMAO

            She just HAD to, or risk losing that fine little prize, Jared Kushner.

            Do you listen to your dumb ass?

            Post the video of the “anti semitic things” (dumb shit wording) Trump has said.

            LIAR

            1. I excerpted a piece published in “The Times of Israel.” HOW does that make ME a liar?

          1. Unless you can site a UN Security Council Resolution, signed by the US PERMREP, I don’t think you can say that the UN in its entirety has deemed that what’s going on in Gaza is genocide.

            But let me make it easier for you. The way to determine whether or not an action is genocide is this: If the victimized group can do nothing to stop the action, then you may be looking at genocide. If there is no hope for a negotiated settlement or if an unconditional surrender won’t stop the action, then it’s likely genocide.

            The Armenians could say or do nothing to stop the onslaught of the Young Turks. The Jews could say or do nothing to stop the Final Solution. Tutsis could not say or do anything to stop Hutu Power from murdering 8,000 of them with machetes over the course of a100 days. Bosniaks could say or do nothing to stop Ratko Mladic from shelling Sarajevo or the BSA from constructing concentration and rape camps in the Krajina and Drina valley.

            Unlike those situations, all Hamas would need to do is rationally surrender to an obviously superior force. That’s it. Israel could cease operations this afternoon if Hamas would just say “I quit” or “I surrender” or “Uncle”.

      4. Kamala said she will skip the joint session of congress address by Netanyahu thursday

        Bu bu bu she’s married to a jew

        Idiot

      5. Hamas is 100% supported in GAZA and Hamas murdered Israeli’s. So we should so soft
        on the population that wants to kill everyone and also destroy the United States? Israel should
        kill everyone who does not surrender. Only an appeaser like Biden and Harris would be stupid
        to do otherwise. Then there is IRAN Biden is so stupid he criticizes Israel whom we will need when
        we take out IRAN which we must. Appeasement in Ukraine also fostered Russian invasion, way to go Biden and Harris and the whole stupid Administrative State. The Border, what border with Biden
        and Harris importing terrorists and criminals and fostering a sanctuary country, this is BS.

    3. It would be great if Netanyahu could lend a security detail to Trump. They know their business. From the top down our Secret Service isn’t worth crap and hasn’t been for a long while.

    4. That is a great and an important point. The slighting of the Israeli PM is a sickening message of where the Biden/now Harris team stands. I watched Chris (go ahead and abuse my daughter right in front of me) Coons get blindsided with the airport snub tonight on Baier’s show and he was sickeningly appeasing in his desire to just go along.

      PS. Brett let Coons ramble on for his entire interview, it was pathetic and weak.

    Who have been predicting a Biden win in November, can get the money back that they wagered in Vegas when Joe was 2:1 odds.

    You morons did wager, right? You sounded Soooo certain.

    I just checked. You lose the bet. Well, not technically until Nov 5, but you dont get a refund or a do over.

    Better double down on Kamala, and get your money back. Same odds right now.

    1. Why don’t you take your kindergarten grudge match somewhere else and leave the comment section for those interested in more-important matters.

      1. Awwww, did you lose your bet too???

        Well, thats the risk when you bet in a loser.

        “More important matters”

        LMAO

        You think anything that is said here is important?

        You should get a life.

    2. –Better double down on Kamala
      Odds are they will most definitely be doing just that.
      Here come all their ‘She’s The BEST, Trump’s the BAD one’ posts.

    3. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: in 2016 and 2020, some substantial percentage of the votes for Hillary and Biden, respectively, were more anti-Trump than pro either one of them. One thing you MAGA mavens never acknowledge is the extent to which so many people are repulsed by Trump. J.D. Vance has added another log to that fire–he comes across as the arrogant venture capitalist, racist and misogynist that he is.

      1. Gigi the deluded liar

        What you are too low IQ to understand is that the same applies to Biden. A large percentage of voters despise him as well. And like Trump, not just for his politics.

        The question becomes, will a small group of voters cast a ballot against their own interests, because of that spite? In 2020 they did, and have paid the price since.

        The polls show that they wont be fooled again.

        Sux to be you.

      2. And yet, Trump is leading in every swing state. For Dems to have to spend time and money defending Michigan at this stage, you know you’re in trouble.

  4. A cowardly Anonymous Soviet Democrat Useful Idiot Birthing Person dreaming of a racist President Cackle Hoe, tried this channeling oral fecal matter: And to hear the crap coming from the mouths of the likes of JD and trump, you can see that JD and trump have clearly soiled their pants at the fear of losing to a woman.

    Wild. Just wild. These are the Soviet Democrat party faithful whose cult leaders say they can’t define a woman. Oh… but men can get pregnant and give birth! The ones who got behind the previous worst candidate in history – Killary Clinton. Are you attempting to Memory Hole how that matchup worked out?

    Yep, Vance and Trump are terrified of taking on the Cackle Hoe. AND the same Useful Idiots who hours ago were behind President Daddy-Daughter Inappropriate Sex Showers want to remind us that the party and billionaires changed the law and funded a senile woman who couldn’t remember what DECADE she said Trump raped her.

    And they’re positive the award a New York court gave her is going to survive appeal to higher courts that aren’t run by Soviet Democrats in New York. This is why you Soviet Democrats ensure you hide behind the username “Anonymous”. Your anus must be jealous of the shyte that pours out of your mouths.

    It is slightly stunning when you childlike commies show up here while both your brain cells have each other in a headlock.

    1. You should sue your elemenary school for misinforming you that piling adjectives together is some sort of acceptable form of communication.

    2. This character you’re playing here
      is what’s REALLY getting Old,
      ‘Airborne Dog’.

      1. I know you’re a liberal douchebag, so this is probably the one time we have agreed.

        He is a fvckstick with a big mouth.

        Waters.

  5. We dream of what can be, unburdened by reality

  6. Prof. Turley wrote:
    The Democratic Party essentially created its own political version of the 25th Amendment in forcing Biden off the ticket… Millions of people went through the primary elections to select him as their nominee. Now he would be set aside and replaced by a vote of the party establishment like a shift in the Russian politburo.

    Professor Turley, a question. Isn’t that what many of your Soviet Democrat party and Gigi and Dennis ‘Baghdad Bob’ McIntyre refer to as a “COUP”?

    And as the party super delegates like Bolshevik Barack and Commissar Pelosi have on the one hand taken him out because his candidacy threatened the Soviet Democrat Dream Of Hegemony, yet demand Americans Don’t Believe Their Lying Eyes and accept Bribery Biden is competent to continue as president, that begs another question.

    Many of us were adults who watched the Russian Soviets hide Premier Brezhnev from view once he was too old and senile to red wash and allow out in public. Then the party insiders actually ran the country behind the puppet of the invisible babbling Brezhnev until they could slide Andropov into Brezhnev’s place.

    Are America’s Soviet Democrats doing the same as the Russian Soviets with Bribery Biden?

    1. It’s not a coup — it’s just FRAUD, and Turley MUST know that.

      Step One: Democrats offered Joetard to people in exchange for HUGE sums of money.
      Step Two: Then, after they got the money, they switched Joetard for an even-dumber tard.

      The party took its own supporters to the cleaners, and many of them won’t admit it because, as with most people, it’s really hard to admit to one’s self that they were dumb enough to get conned.

      1. Its like they took all the democratic votes for JOE & UNILATERALLY GAVE THE ENTIRE SHITSHOW TO KAMALA ALONG WITH EACH AND EVERY VOTER WHO EXPECTED JOE,VOTED 4 JOE 2B RUNNING 4 POTUS…THEN COME YESTERDAY,THE REALITY CAME 2B,THE SWITCH WAS MADE THE DECISION FINAL,LOVE KAMALA OR HATE KAMALA WELL ITS JUST TOO BAD YOU GOTTA BACK KAMALA ..IT DOESNT MATTER KAMALA NEVER COMPLETED ONE ASSIGNMENT AS VP…THATS WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE AND ITS EITHER THE DEMOCRATIC FASCIST PARTY WHO STOLEN THEIR VOTES 4 JOE 2 GIVE THAT AWAY 2 A WORTHLESS TIT FROM CALI AND ALL THE WHILE POINTING @ TRUMP & REPUBLICANS STATING THAT IS THE FACSIST PARTY…BUT …☝️WHO STOLE ANOTHER PARTY MEMBERS VOTE AND NOT ONE WORD TO DO IT THE LAWFUL RIGHT WAY??!! GOTCHA YA, DEMS REELED IN THE DUMB VOTERS AND YOU BEEN HAD!!!

        1. Ben, you make great points but try writing without all capitals, add a paragraph or two and stop with the numbers instead of words stuff and more people will read your good comment and more will even agree with you.

  7. Sure seems like the Demos have solidified behind Kamala. And to hear the crap coming from the mouths of the likes of JD and trump, you can see that JD and trump have clearly soiled their pants at the fear of losing to a woman. Why are JD and trump so concerned who the Demos put forward as a candidate? The Demo that got the most votes in the primary was Biden. Biden has now refused to accept that nomination so the party will decide who the new nominee will be. Very simple process. Yet the Repos are tripping over themselves to make up reasons why Kamala should not be the nominee.

    It will be fun watching trumps response at being beaten by a woman in November. A woman took him to court and won nearly $100 million in defamation. That was loss number 1 to a woman, November will bring loss #2. And after that, good riddance trump, JD, and all the cult members of the trump partly. You are all a bunch of losers, you just don’t know it yet.

      1. Learn some U.S. history and laws. We vote in November. Your poll is worth less than your feces.

        But please keep talking and say nasty stuff about Kamala. She gains a few hundred to a few thousand women voters every time you send her a slur. Women are sick of men running their lives and will vote in droves to elect Kamala. And all you men with your tradwives, sorry, they too will vote for Kamala and tell you they voted for your cult leader Felon trump

        1. “Your poll is worth less than your feces.”

          You said the same thing, Gigi, right before Joe was forced out because of the polls.

          Apparently, someone in your party values turds. We know you value yours.

    1. Kamala lalala could not pull 1% in her 2020 Presidential campaign from her own party. Tulsi Gabbard showed her to be the cockholster she is in the primary debate, a blathering idiot. Can’t wait to see her debate Trump, 10X better than the trouncing President Trump gave Dementia Joe.

    2. Big mouth coward anonymous

      Go place your $10k bet on Kamala right now. The odds wont get much better. You’ll make a killing.

      Come back and tell us what odds you got.

      Otherwise, you’re a LOSER as well as a coward.

    3. Well,THAT woman…i NEVER believed her…WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD BELIEVE SHE WAS RAPED IN A WOMANS DRESSING ROOM INSIDE A DEPT STORE…ON TOP,IF IT WAS RAPE,NEVER GOING TO ER,RAPE KIT DONE AS WELL AS RAPE REPORT!! THAT MAKES NO SENSE …IF THAT WAS A RAPE,ONE WOULD NOT HAD WAITED 30YRS TO TELL TALE…AND SURE TRUMP WAS A VERY BUSY MAN AND HAD NO TIME LOITERING AROUND DEPT STORE WOMENS DRESSING ROOMS TO GET A NUT!!!

      1. Not just in a dressing room. Standing up, facing each other, with leggings around her knees. No lube, no foreplay. His middle aged dick just spontaneously got hard.

        The whole thing is so ridiculous its laughable.

      2. “WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD BELIEVE SHE WAS RAPED IN A WOMANS DRESSING ROOM INSIDE A DEPT STORE”

        So nice to see your all caps post. your cult leader Felon trump, would be so proud.

        As for who would believe it? A jury believed it, not once, but twice.

        1. Clearly you are not familiar with what the trials were about.

          Do you enjoy being stupid?

  8. We all knew that the Democrats were going to pull a ‘switcheroo’ at some point. I don’t think the switch is in yet (Harris).
    The DNC is just figuring out how to keep the Election Donations made under Biden in the Dem’s House.
    This ‘Shell Game” will not build confidence with Voters, they have had enough of the political Sleight of Hand.

    1. Yeah given members of the DEMOCRATIC PARTY,one voted for JOE ..NOT KAMALA…AS POTUS…THEN JOE STEPS BACK AND PUTS KAMALA IN HIS PLACE …B4 THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION..so ALL THOSE WHO VOTED 4 JOE AS POTUS,EXPECTED JOE FOR POTUS ….WOKE UP SUNDAY TO FIND KAMALA,AS THEIR FORCED CHOICE OF DEMOCRAT,LOVE HER OR HATE HER….YOU DONT HAVE A CHOICE W/NO OTHER NOMINEES AND SHE IS LIKE STRONGARMED INTO THE POSITION,WHETHER THE DEMOCRATIC VOTER LIKES IT OR NOT…A TYPE OF FASCISM THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS DECLARED THEY WOULD GET IF THEY DIDNT VOTE FOR BIDEN…EITHER WAY,STILL A FORCED NOMINEE 4 POTUS!!SINCE ONE VOTED 4 JOE,ANTICIPATED JOE BUT NOW FORCED TO ACCEPT KAMALA…WARTS & ALL!!!

      1. You’re right one things. They voted for Biden to be the nominee and send delegates from their respective states as delegates pledged to vote for Biden on the first ballot. So the rules are that with him not in the running, his pledged delegates can vote for whom they please.

        So keep up your rage, Even you could yet become the nominee from the Dem party. Not likely as they generally like people with an IQ more than 70 and know how to type without using all caps like your cult leader Felon trump. But keep trying. Your bound to encourage a few people to vote for Kamala with the rage burning inside your feeble brain.

        1. Its funny that even idiots like you disrespect the vice president.

          Consistently calling her by her first name. Tak tsk

  9. How could anyone with family and child support Democrats? They are stealing our future generations wealth and opportunities before our very eyes.

  10. Potentially HUGE news that’s gotten almost no attention in the garbage media:

    A while back, Missouri sued New York for election interference, related to the gag order on Trump interfering with its citizens’ right to hear Trunp, and related to the questionable criminal case against Trump constituting election interference. It’s very difficult to find information about that online.

    Today (at least I THINK it was today), the Supreme Court gave New York until this Wednesday to respond to the lawsuit:
    https://x.com/AGAndrewBailey/status/1815456731180527828

    For those unfamiliar with the process, when one state sues another, the Supreme Court has “original jurisdiction” such that the case can be taken directly to the Supreme Court.

    1. It’s things like this that show what a joke the Repo party has become. It is truly a felon trump party now. This lawsuit has a near zero chance of going anywhere. trump is a private citizen. Running for President does not give you a get out of jail free card. Or maybe I’m missing something. Could you point to where in the constitution it says those running for political office cannot be charged for a crime, convicted of a crime, sent to prison for a crime?

      1. It’s called the First Amendment, dimwit. That’s where a candidate cannot be prohibited from speaking, and an audience cannot be prohibited from listening to a candidate — especially when it’s the candidate that is leading his opponent in the polls by MORE THAN DOUBLE — 64% to 29%.
        https://x.com/IAPolls2022/status/1815356300286447634

        You really suck at trolling.

        1. The first amendment says nothing about a candidate. Nothing. Where did you read that?

      2. Another cowardly Anonymous Soviet Democrat Useful Idiot Birthing Person hoped they can Memory Hole the last few months:
        It’s things like this that show what a joke the Repo party has become. It is truly a felon trump party now.

        Here we have a cowardly Anonymous Soviet Democrat Birthing Person claiming they don’t believe their lying eyes that Lyin’ Biden, The Big Guy, is a hot mess of crap wrapped up in a Depends applied by Biden Babysitter and greedy grifter, Dr. Jill.

        They claim they don’t remember that The Big Guy, Bribery Biden, has been declared by his carefully chosen own Special Counsel to be a serial felon who stole classified information – but for now will be allowed to be out on parole while Bribery Biden’s AG is Merrick Garland. Because that carefully chosen Special Counsel straight from Biden’s DoJ has decided his opinion Biden is a kindly old man replaces any need for that question to be left to a jury. (That can change the instant that Merrick Garland is thrown out of office – and indicted for ignoring a subpoena as Bannon and others were)

        And that paroled felon, Bribery Biden has as his primary advisor, The First Felon Gun Criminal Tax Cheat Son… awaiting further trial for being one of The Rich Don’t Pay Their Fair Share tax evasion and sentencing as a gun criminal.

        Biden White House Crime LLC is now running America from the Oval Office when before they only operated from the Vice President’s office.

        Inquiring minds wonder if Biden is cashing in for these last two months by sharing current classified information with their ChiCom and Russian government customers as they did for years prior to Trump from the VP’s office. Also wondering whether Bribery Biden is sharing the nuclear codes with their ChiCom and Russian customers as he does classified information through his crackhead son?

        Posts like this is why these Soviet Democrat Birthing Persons are so careful to never post a username, but instead hide behind the username “Anonymous”. Vestigial remnants of human emotions like shame.

        Signed, you cowardly Anonymous Marxist Useful Idiot (this is how you do it if you claim you’re too stupid to figure out how to create a username):
        Old Airborne Dog

        1. Keep up the slurs. Again you are pushing reasonable people to vote for Kamala. You Felon trump supporters really are crazy. Don;’t drink the Kool aide, it will kill you.

          1. Good luck. Go place your bet. Come back and tell us the odds you got.

  11. it is hard to believe that these types of scenarios are taking place in the United States. Rep. Nancy Mace is not wrong.

    REP. NANCY MACE: OK, would you say leaking your opening statement to Punchbowl News, “Politico Playbook,” and “The Washington Post” several hours before you send it to this committee as being political, yes or no?

    SECRET SERVICE DIRECTOR KIMBERLY CHEATLE: I have no idea how my statement got out.

    REP. NANCY MACE: Well, that’s bullsh*t. So, Mr. Chairman, I would like to ask unanimous consent to enter into the record articles by Punchbowl News, “Politico” Playbook, and “Washington Post,” all done at 5:24 am, 6:12 am, 6:34 am, a solid 3-4 hours before this committee got your statement.

    CHAIRMAN COMER: Without objection, so ordered.

    REP. NANCY MACE: Okay. Is the Secret Service fully “cooperating” with our committee?

    SECRET SERVICE DIRECTOR KIMBERLY CHEATLE: Yes.

    REP. NANCY MACE: Okay. You say you are fully cooperating with this committee. On July 15 this committee sent you a list of demands of information we want. Has the Secret Service provided this committee a complete list of all law enforcement personnel that were there that day? Have you done that? Have you provided a list to the Oversight Committee, yes or no?

    SECRET SERVICE DIRECTOR KIMBERLY CHEATLE: I will have to get back to you on that.

    REP. NANCY MACE: That is a no. Have you provided all audio and video recordings in your possession to this committee as we asked on July 15, yes or no?

    SECRET SERVICE DIRECTOR KIMBERLY CHEATLE: I would have to get back to you.

    REP. NANCY MACE: That is a no. You are full of sh*t today. You’re just being completely dishonest.

    OTHER MEMBER: Mr. Chairman, point of order. We have to maintain decorum in this committee no matter how upset we get.

    REP. NANCY MACE: Have you provided any and all memos to this committee that we asked you on July 15? Have you provided all memorandums within the Secret Service?

    SECRET SERVICE DIRECTOR KIMBERLY CHEATLE: I would have to get back to you on that.

    REP. NANCY MACE: That is a no. You are being dishonest or lying. You’re being dishonest with this committee. These are important questions that the American people want answers to and you are just dodging and talking about it in generalities and we had to subpoena you to be here, and you won’t even answer the questions.

  12. Video of Cheatle entering House to testify. Oddly, none of her security consists of ponytailed sorority girls. I guess her DEI delusions don’t extend to her own safety.

    1. That was the 1st thing I noticed..women standing 9-12″ SHORTER THAN TRUMP…in meantime,anybody,had there been a 2nd shooter,easily could had taken a head shot and the armed security women surrounding TRUMP most likely would had evaded a bullet meant 4 TRUMP due to the fact their lack of height would not had provided cover for TRUMP TO AVOID A 2ND ASSASSINATION BULLET TO THE HEAD!! ASSININE TRUMP WAS PROVIDED INEFFECTIVE SECRET SERVICE PERSONNEL MORE SUITED FOR KAMALA HARRUS AS PART OF HER SECRET SERVICE SECURITY DETAIL INSTEAD!!!

      1. That was the 1st thing I noticed..women standing 9-12″ SHORTER THAN TRUMP

        That’s true. What’s also true is any knowledgeable shooter determined to kill Trump would have chosen a hunting rifle caliber or a sniper rifle of the caliber the counter-snipers were armed with. This amateur chose a lightweight caliber instead.

        Meaning, why try for a head shot on a person’s smaller head, rather than one right through center mass, just as snipers and counter-snipers do in war: take the available shot least likely to be missed.

        And even if Trump’s close protection detail were all 7′ tall and 380 lbs, they could drape themselves all over Trump and a modern hunting bullet would go right through them and into Trump like those hunting bullets go through deer and out the other side.

        Trump’s kids said they were quite happy with the female agents assigned to their father during the YEARS those women were earlier assigned to do close protection for them. One of the sons said the woman most depicted is a badass that he has seen outshoot every man on that stage. Further to that, he didn’t express any concerns she is also shorter than he is.

        The abject failure his the prior planning, deployment of assets, and the decision to knowingly give Trump the okay to go out exposed in public while they were running around trying to find a guy with a rifle.

        It would be wonderful if every close protection agent were a minimum of 7′ tall, 280 lbs and a triathlete. That won’t block a killer’s bullets from a powerful rifle (or handgun at close distance).

        But what’s far more important is proper planning, deployment, and decision making. Same Secret Service that repeatedly allowed intruders to get into the White House prior to Trump. Same Secret Service that couldn’t spot a pipe bomb laying in plain sight outside DNC headquarters before VP Elect Harris arrived.

        1. Decrepit Airborne Rabid Dog repeats the same thing that Air Soft Bunny said and then pretends he has knowledge of what happened and what should have have happened.

          357 is king!!

  13. Cheatle testified that there are no audio recordings of Secret Service communications on the day of the attempt on Trump.

    Don’t explain something this grave for incompetence when it might best be explained by evil.

    Meanwhile we might ask the Russians or Chinese for copies of the SS audio.

    1. Cheatle testified that there are no audio recordings of Secret Service communications on the day of the attempt on Trump.

      Woman who previously said there was nobody on that roof because it was too steep to be sage – while one countersniper team was perched on the peak of a roof sloped at least twice as much?

      And we’re supposed to believe they don’t have a comms section to record all comms in case a later criminal charge (or lawsuit) goes to court?

      We shall see…

      1. Old Airborne: “we’re supposed to believe they don’t have a comms section to record all comms in case a later criminal charge (or lawsuit) goes to court?”

        I think that is the reason they are pretending to have no recordings [or have deleted them].

        If Trump survives to win I expect these people to be destroying a lot more evidence. This time he will have a legit attorney general and head of FBI [what’s left of it].

        He needs better protection. He can’t trust the FBI or the SS.

      2. while one countersniper team was perched on the peak of a roof sloped at least twice as much?

        Both teams were on identical roofs. You really are under informed, arent you?.

  14. It’s pretty obvious that Biden has serious mental issues. It looks like Lewy Body or Parkinsons but regardless he should be forced to resign. The media has become so Soviet I expect nothing out of them. The Republicans will likely do nothing since there are so many of them that worry about exposure from the NSA and other state agencies. We will just have to hope this senile old man doesn’t blunder us into a big war with Russia, China, or Iran. In a sane world presidents wouldn’t have the power to solely decide on nuclear war but in an insane world our elites give that power to even senile presidents.

    1. ” In a sane world presidents wouldn’t have the power to solely decide on nuclear war but in an insane world our elites give that power to even senile presidents.”

      The possibility of such a sane world might be a delusion. Nevertheless, I will address your point. I’m guessing that you weren’t around in the early t o mid 1960s. At that time, the articulated fear was of an unanticipated attack from the USSR using nuclear tipped intercontinental ballistic missiles. Such an attack would only have been detected by NORAD radar, with advance warning measured in minutes, and less time than that to decide whether or not to retaliate (I’ll leave discussion of the sanity of retaliation in those circumstances for another discussion). That available time would hardly support any available method for formulating a group consensus of any kind on whether or not to launch a retaliatory strike – by the time a meeting could have been called, it would all have been over. So the responsibility for that momentus decision was necessarily left to a single individual – the President. Weaponry has changed in the last 60-plus years, so maybe that protocol is obsolete. Or maybe it isn’t. I have no idea what the current state of the art is regarding detection of all possible nuclear attack variants. I do know that the design criteria for cruise missiles included a requirement that they be capable of avoiding detection until nearly at the target.

    Someone was visiting Crooks home and meeting up a block from Secret Service Headquarters, also near fbi office.

    “Someone who regularly visited Crooks home and work also visited a building in Washington, DC located in Gallery Place.
    This is in the same vicinity of an @FBI
    office on June 26, 2023.
    Who’s device is this?”

    THEY WILL NEVER ALLOW YOU TO GET THE OWNER OF THE DEVICE.
    The “data” will be “scrambled” “accidentally” just like the pipe bomber’s phone data of J6 – oh woopsie !!!! IT’S ALL GONE …. LIKE OSAMA BIN LADEN’S BODY OVER THE EDGE INTO THE OCEAN NEVER TO BE SEN NOR HEARD FROM AGAIN.
    “A perfectly holy islamic burial” (TOTAL LIE, OF COURSE)

  16. “I WILL NEVER STEP DOWN !” he shrieks a raging mob con man …. anger piercing through the dried up zombie shell eyes and skeleton stiff hands.

    ” I AM STEPPING DOWN.” Biden perfectly capsizes the demoncrat position, anything goes, any lie, any ruse, any total fraud, for the party was the final command in everything, at last, two plus two equals five, was the woke, equity driven, race card final statement of belief.

    “ALL FOR DEMOCRACY !” he added, forgetting the years of targeting his opponent. The spin machine started whirring immediately… what did Joe have for lunch, will the white house doctor testify he had a slight fever ? Could they quote an old document that explained the transfer of power while ignoring their voters completely ?
