Resignation Tomorrow--Or Next Weekend?
My wife has been predicting a resignation by next weekend. I repeated the rumors I’d heard about a resignation tomorrow. There’s no doubt that the pressure is unrelenting and increasing:
A canceled fundraiser—because the donors backed out. The kiss of death in politics.
The House Oversight chairman demanding testimony from Zhou’s physician.
A Black radio host fired for accepting scripted questions for Zhou from the White House.
The list goes on—and on. David Axelrod is weighing in—again. Which puts the weight of the Obama wing behind the resignation push. Again—I think this has gone too far for a simple, ‘OK, I won’t accept the nomination.’ The House Dems are howling for Zhou to be gone—no way do they want him hanging around DC. God only knows what he’ll say next, not to mention Doc Jill.
Yeah, of course I could be wrong, but this is starting to be fun. So, while we wait, how about the timing? Tomorrow, or next weekend?
The attractive thing about next weekend, at first glance, is that it allows Zhou to get through the Big NATO Meeting, T-W-Th. The dummies from Europe won’t be embarrassed by showing up to talk to Zhou, only to be told there’d been a switcheroo. The guy who’s “running the world” turned out to be nutso, so we present you with … Kama Sutra? Awkward.
Then again, suppose they show up and talk to the crazy uncle, and then on the flight home hear that he’s no longer “running the world”? Why did they bother? Still awkward. They still look like the nobodies, the flunkies, “America’s streetwalkers” (h/t Bill Haydon), that they actually are. In front of the whole world. As if US politicians actually care? Can you imagine how hard Putin, Lavrov, Xi, and the new guy in Teheran are laughing? The guy in Sana’a, too?
Sometimes it’s best to just get it over with quickly, to stop the bleeding. Or as that Scots guy put it, If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well It were done quickly.
The political Sands keep shifting hour to hour here. We have never ever to my knowledge had a political crisis like this before. While I do not believe anything will happen tomorrow I do believe in the next seven days it is entirely possible that something will happen. I originally thought Biden would step down as a candidate and be allowed to stay on as president until January but I can see now that that’s probably untenable. Why would we allow somebody in his condition to remain as president if they are not confident enough to run for the office to begin with
They need time to make a deal for Dr. Jill, Hunter, and the rest of the family. You could be damn sure that all Pardons are going to be drafted and done before he leaves office, at that point he won’t make any difference politically for him, one way or the other. There will have to be certain financial guarantees, I assume for Dr. Jill., she’s going to want to make sure that there is a nice presidential library for Joe over in Delaware, and that the optics of him leaving are satisfactory for everyone. Lots of moving parts here, but it could be done.
And then we get to have Kamala Harris as president probably for only about five months, but it’ll be the most insane five months ever in the history of presidential politics. You will have a woman who is in capable of leader ship., a grossly immature individual, who is in capable of dealing with anything in a serious nature, prone to laugh and cackle, and make absolute no sense when she opens her mouth . Can you imagine the deep state trying to handle her on a day-to-day basis? She will wake up in a different world every day trying to do something else God protect us from any type of executive orders she might sign or God knows what she might say. If you think of Joe Biden was an embarrassment to the world wait till Kamala gets on stage. No scenario can I see this woman winning a national election.
"The NATO Summit in Washington will mark 75 years of historic achievements, demonstrate the strength and unity of our transatlantic bond, advance the implementation of the most robust deterrence and defense plans since the end of the Cold War, and showcase NATO’s vital role in defending our future for generations to come."
Hey, Happy 75th Birthday, NATO! We have a little surprise for you! Still wrapping it up tho!
