If Biden sticks to his guns, the Dems and media will cave. This is like a game of chicken. Who'll blink first? I don't like either Biden or the Dems, so my only concern is what hurts both of them. They are perfect for each other.

Biden doesn't need money or Dem support if he stays in the race. He's guaranteed about 47% of the vote, the same as Trump. It's that 6% of the electorate that's in play.

For the sake of argument, if Biden stayed in and won, they'd all come to love him and the gaslighting would start right back up.

Biden's not the president we need, but he is the president we deserve.

"Biden's not the president we need, but he is the president we deserve." Never a truer statement.

It's a testament to the genius of the Founding Fathers and to the strength of many countrymen who went before me that the United States has gone along this far without collapsing.

We are running on fumes, in my opinion.

Those who follow politics knew it would be the drying up of campaign contributions after the debate that would sink Biden and his merry band of grifters. A few donkey congressmen and senators disavowing Biden's candidacy can be laughed off, but not a massive difference between the Trump and Biden campaign coffers. That dog won't hunt.

The Biden clan hasn't seen a favorable news cycle since the debate. That's tough on morale, always being on defense. And with each appearance by 'Dr.' Jill subbing for her enfeebled husband, she is taking on the persona of Nurse Ratched.

Sundance also wrote yesterday about the George Clooney / Obama alignment. It is worth a read, too. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/07/10/barack-approved-george-clooney-tells-joe-biden-its-time-to-go/

Sundance is back to being required reading.

Sundance is ready for it. He wrote today, https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/07/11/hey-joe-the-call-is-coming-from-inside-the-building/.

Here is a long quote, but it is the whole game. The caps are mine since we can't format comments.

"There is no way the entirety of the system, which in this case is specifically the U.S. State Department and Intelligence Community, would normally be launching a full-frontal assault on the office of the presidency while international leaders are here [for the NATO summit].

"This just isn’t done and represents a historic inflection point. So, we must ask what’s the background, motive and intent?

"The obvious answer is that removing Joe Biden is seen as the best option for the DoS/IC. This perspective highlights the non-pretending reality that these institutions regard the November election as lost if Joe Biden remains their candidate.

"The IC and Dept of State cannot have Donald Trump take control of their operation, especially since the recent SUPREME COURT RULING THAT AFFIRMED A MAJORITY OPINION USING STRONG LANGUAGE CONSISTENT WITH THE UNITARY EXECUTIVE THEORY OF THE CONSTITUTION.

"The Supreme Court said, the PRESIDENT IS "A PERSON ALONE WHO COMPRISES A BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT." [pdf, page 38] In essence, the president *IS* the Executive Branch, and all of the other various bureaucratic agents and agencies within it are under his unilateral “official act” control."

And so Trump could fire them for starters. And Congress could not write legislation that would make constitutional responsibilities of the president illegal.

The statement by the Congressman that I quoted confirms what we've been saying: It's all about Trump. Having a senile president isn't the real issue. It's impossible to believe that Trump doesn't know who his real enemies are, his most dangerous enemies. It's not the pygmies in Congress. He's leaving the Drain the Swamp rhetoric alone, but he has to know.

I agree with you on watching old movies. That’s what I prefer to watch myself when taking time to watch something. People give me a hard time about it, but F ‘em.

I think you hit the nail squarely on the head, except for the statement that you don't believe in Jesus Christ.

Bless you. I think you just really needed to get something off your chest. I don't think it matters who or what you believe in - we are all made of the same material that stars are formed from. I think you are a person who cares and that is so important in this day and age. I hope you feel lighter for ranting. Peace be upon you.

A friend once told me I care too much. He is/was right. And it is a common problem.
