This is one of those extremely rare opportunities where the entire world got to see a massive scandal and conspiracy exposed on live TV.

The scandal is NOT that our "Emperor has no brain." Any person with a functioning brain knew that four years ago. The scandal is that every person who "matters" in our government and "watchdog" press KNEW THIS for four years ... and did diddly squat to expose this truth.

The reason the Department of "Justice" won't release those Biden audio tapes is now clear to all. These public servants aren't trying to protect Biden, they are trying to conceal the fact they were in on this conspiracy for four years.

Now let's see if the public puts two and two together and starts to figure out this isn't the only scandal our trusted officials have been covering up.

This was intended. The DNC operatives and friends in the media not in the Biden cadre did a very transparent and obvious setup.

The debate being in July. The crescendo of gaffes and videos of a mentally diminishing old man. The absurd media gaslighting. And the primaries being over. This is the gambit by a side in an internecine conflict to get a new nominee. I hope Americans see this. They should see this because they should understand that there are no more principles in the ruling class. Only lust for power.

Way to go Perry Mason. It is SO transparent. CNN commentators all turning on him at the same time as if they didn't know until now? Really? I don't know how much more stupid I have to nod and smile about to function in a society that demands I make nice about all this. I started as a little kid embarrassing my very nice socially conscious mother by saying out loud whatever my bright and active little brain was ACTUALLY witnessing. As a child I was that little kid most likely to say but.. but.. but.. THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES ON. So I admit I've always struggled to fit in because I've never totally been able to squash the impulse to tell the truth; I just got better at deciding when it mattered enough to unleash it.

I’m afraid this is wishful thinking by you and Alex. He ain’t going anywhere without a fight. Dr. Jill, who is his chief enabler and power-hungry woman, just announced that he “answered every question” and did a good job in the debate. The 25th Amendment is the only way he’ll relinquish power and even then he might cling to the nomination. I don’t think the Dems have the stomach to go the 25 Amendment route. As we say here in Appalachia, they are between a rock and a hard place.

Another issue is who will they replace him with? Kamala Harris? Gavin Newsom? Gretchen Whitmer? They don’t have a very deep bench of folks that’ll have national appeal.

Pulling Biden is necessary. The problem, as you astutely point out, is they have to find a plausible reason to pull Kamala as well (she's unelectable...let's face it).

That puts them in a situation where they can't just come out and say she's not qualified (and never was). She complicates things for them. Who knows what's going to happen.,...we shall see.

DEI coming home to roost....that's what i'm seeing.

One things for certain:

Biden will still be getting treats from Nurse Ratchet (Jill), like a dotting mother clapping for her toddler just for keeping his diaper dry.

Gavin is an excellent speaker and even better liar. The media will cover him and make California seem like it is the early 80's again. But, what about DEI?

This was exactly my thought, as well. My only question is why would Trump agree to this? If he had refused to debate until after the conventions, the election would have been a walk in the park.

Trump's people played the Biden team like a violin. They knew what the whole DC crowd was concealing. They knew Biden would implode. So they agreed to any terms on offer. Hostile network, hostile moderators, rules guaranteeing a dull result.

What's going to happen is what's happened for the last 3+ years -- they (the powers that be, those in charge, whoever that is) will attempt to gaslight the American public. They'll say this was "sudden" that his decline was "rapid" and haul out a dozen "experts" to explain how Biden could deteriorate so quickly. They will ignore all the clips and gaffes and pauses and naps over the last 3 years. The question remains: will the MSM go along with it? Will they say "we were duped, now we're going to question everything that comes out of the WH?" Or will they say, "Aw, yes, I see, this happened quickly, poor old guy. Stop picking on him, evil Republicans." But this was ALWAYS the plan. They knew Biden isn't capable of governing now. No one who works with him can believe that he's in charge. Where are the Democrat congress members? Lying about his sharpness or remaining silent. Republicans don't have access to him. His staff, his wife, his family, Obama, his cabinet, all know he has been in cognitive decline for years. Kamala Harris knows -- I think she was rubbing her hands together waiting for it to collapse so she can be president. They'll have to offer her something huge in order to keep her quiet about it. But the one thing that Democrats are good at is smoke and mirrors and keeping their people in line. It's going to be a very interesting five months.

Trump is hyperbolic and exaggerates. So yes, he "lied" when he said food prices doubled, quadrupled (I don't remember his exact quote.) But they did go up 21% because of inflation. He said when he left taxes were the "lowest ever in America" which isn't true -- a hundred years ago we had no income taxes. This is why Trump irritates me. He could have beat Biden on the facts and facts alone, but he has to exaggerate everything. I saw one thing from CNN last night where they called Biden out on several lies and misrepresentations, but I'm sure they'll bury that. The insulin thing for example, the "very fine people" which was debunked long ago, etc. But the border and the economy are the two biggest issues for most people. Trump needs to hammer those over and over and over -- and he can do it without making sh*t up.

Expand full comment

It's True Trump extends the truth as do some with fish they catch. The pocket book reality with the average American is definitely real compared to 3.6 years ago. Have u seen that viral video of the younger dude who compared 45 food items he bought just 2 years ago to same 45 items today at Walmart. It was like $146 to $426 in 24 months. In his case, it far past doubled. Heard many times through past 6 months the mention of people paying on average $33 more per day than they did in 2019. Not doubled, but an extra 12K per year. That is REAL regardless of doubling so the lie is a soft one.

I agree. I raised five kids and have done 99% of the shopping for our house over the last 31 years. Prices have definitely gone up, and on some things substantially. Partly because of COVID (and I will never forgive Trump for the lockdown -- the 15 days to slow the spread BS that turned into months -- and years --for some. The education loss, the shuttered businesses -- yes, he was manipulated and lied to and went against his instincts, but he needs to own it.) Anyway, COVID was partly responsible ("free" money and supply chain issues, etc) and Biden is partly responsible. Congress doesn't get a free pass. But ultimately, everything the democrats have done and want to do has made the problem worse. Climate Change legislation, for one example, has an effect on the cost of everything and is endangering our food supply as well. The reason I'm voting for Trump is because the longer the democrats are in charge, the far worse off we will be. He's certainly not perfect (I was supporting DeSantis) but he is better than the alternative.

Trump relied on the evil elf, Anthony Fauci, who everyone initially said was the leading US expert on pandemics. He didn't have a sound expert on his COVID panel until August, when he appointed Dr. Scott Atlas of the Hoover Institution. Unfortunately, Atlas was outnumbered by Fauci followers and only remained an advisor for about four months. Trump bought into Fauci's "Two weeks to flatten the curve," which turned into more like two years. Trump was wrong to rely on Fauci, but I believe that mistake cost him the 2020 election.

So with Biden we did get closer to what we thought we might get and Trump was somewhat more contained than he was last time but he infuriates me nonetheless as you so rightly point out. I think we all know he is a lout and not a great human being. I don't necessarily care and as we know more and more about JFK and LBJ we see plenty of their personal deficiencies. It doesn't mean I would vote for Jimmy Carter every time or believe the rhetoric about Saint George Floyd. It seems to me the anchors let him do whatever he wanted in terms of not answering their questions. I appreciate it that they did not harangue him but if you have a moderator at all, it is simply to force people to answer the darn question—abortion, deportation, Social Security, Medicare, health care costs and value—come on people. Before it was over, to me, Trump was as annoying as Biden was lost. Hell, how can I be better prepared than Trump?

I don't claim this is exhaustive, but here are some of Biden's debate lies:

• Biden rehashed the phony claim that Trump told people to inject themselves with bleach to fight COVID-19. In fact, Trump never used the word “bleach”; he instead referred to a new technology in which ultraviolet rays are used to fight viruses.

• Biden claimed unemployment was at 15% when he took office; the unemployment rate was 6.4% in December 2020, just weeks before Biden took office.

• Biden bizarrely claimed that the Border Patrol union endorsed him; in fact, that union endorsed Trump.

• That’s likely because the number of illegal aliens pouring across the border has exploded under Biden, despite his false claim that there are fewer crossings now than when Trump was in office.

• Biden claimed he had lowered the cost of insulin shots to $15 under Medicare; in fact, the cost is $35 per shot, and it was Trump, in 2020, who created a voluntary program under Medicare Part D to reduce the price to $35. The 2022 ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ codified that price.

• Biden claimed he capped Medicare drug spending at $200 per year; in fact, it’s $2,000 per year.

• Biden claimed that Trump wants ‘to cut Social Security and Medicare’; in fact, Trump’s website says, ‘Under no circumstances should Republicans vote to cut a single penny from Medicare or Social Security.’

• Biden callously insisted that he didn’t have ‘any troops dying anywhere in the world.’ That ignores the 13 US soldiers killed in America’s disastrous exit from Afghanistan.

• Biden falsely claimed that billionaires only pay 8.2% in taxes; according to the IRS, the 400 wealthiest Americans pay an average federal tax rate of 23% – nearly three times higher than Biden claimed.

• Biden said people died on J6, when the only person to die was Ashli Babbitt, shot by a Capital police officer.

Your determined friends were going to vote for Biden anyway. The Thursday debate puts all the undecideds out of reach for Biden, at least for now. I imagine some of the Biden advisors are saying this will blow over, that people will forget by November.

Because it makes a 'better' story?? Who does that? Or, how about when he told the Hawaiians who just learned their children burned to death that he once had a kitchen fire and almost lost his cat to it? Why wasn't he tarred and feathered for that? There are thousands of examples. All politicians lie, but Joe lies about stuff only a psychopath would.

And, of course, I will never forget how frightening is was to live under a President determined to inject me with an experimental medical intervention for political optics.

Yet, somehow a mythology took root that Joe Biden is good, honest, blue collar Joe. BS. He's a scumbag now and was a scumbag when he waltzed into DC in his late 20s.

Ahem...how do I say this Alex. I usually agree with you but not this time. Biden is NOT a benign old man. He is a criminal, a traitor and a dictator.

Furthermore, even setting aside all the destructive elements of what Biden has done, his wife and close circle, including his physician, should be charged and go to jail because they are full on guilty of Elder Abuse. So an absolute No to the pitiful narrative of the benign nice old man allowed to go out with dignity and praise. NO NO and NO. Enough.

I have to disagree. If you believe in his decline, then I'm not sure he's "a criminal, a traitor and a dictator." But even if he is, given his decline, the question asked over on Spiked is the most important: "If Joe Biden isn't in control, then who is?"

As a sort-of student of history, this smells much like Woodrow Wilson's last days when his wife was the one actually in charge. So add the crimes imputed to Joe to Jill's obvious elder abuse.

This goes back to my basic point. I think Biden and Swalwell were forced to run due to both of them being compromised by the Chinese. Biden wound up being the nominee in 2020 because the DNC couldn't allow Bernie to win the nomination, something that would've happened if the rest of the Dems didn't consolidate behind Biden.

Uh, NO!, RFKj would need 270 just like anyone else - regardless of the number of candidates, the current number is still 270. You need ½ the elector total plus 1.

Besides that, RFKj is still a loonytoon and as far left as his uncle teddy the murderer.

Clarification: If the election went to the Congress because no candidate received 270 electoral votes, the winner would be the candidate that received the most votes from each state's delegations. I think each state gets one vote.

Just looked it up. each state gets one vote. A candidate must receive at least 26 votes (A majority of the States) to be elected.

There was at least one time I was sure CNN nix’d the SS to save Biden.

In the run up commentators ( 🤔 common taters?) kept opining how the mic rule would be good for President Trump, but it was clear the one who benefitted most was Pres 💩 💩 🧠 who was unable to contain itself during the last half.

I was most impressed by how Presidential&composed President Trump came across.

[my thoughts: he had a shocker strapped to his jewels that would fire if he spoke out’a turn 🤣] what’eva works 😆

I like common taters. Trump was very calm, which surprised me given the many prosecutions (persecutions) Joe's DOJ has used to go after him. I was afraid he would look like a bully debating a man who is cognitively impaired.

He either realized this himself or listened to some very good advice.

Good point. I wonder if he took/was given some β-blocker meds to achieve his state of zen [ omm omm ]. The problem is that you wouldn’t know who would show up to the "debate:" the manic generalissimo from the SotU or the Philadelphia speech, or the doddering old man we’re told was cheap fakes (down on the farm we call those cheep fakes 😉). What to bring, what to bring 🤔 double barrel 12ga or strained peas and a bib?

Feel like this was a setup from the beginning: The Democratic Party wants control at all costs. Forget the democratic process - we want control! RFK and Phillips never get a shot at the nomination as they won't go along with the far left. So - they make sure Biden gets the nomination. The State-run media covers for Biden for the past 3-4 years. Now, just before the August convention they show how bad Joe is during the debate and say "we had no idea!". The DNC forces Joe out and handpicks they next person. That is the end of democracy.

How do they manage to skip over the VP?

The Democrat party has not allowed a truly democratic primary since at least 2012. They might as well continue with this charade by letting “The Party” SELECT the candidate, as it has done in past years while not allowing their citizen comrades to choose. Why change now? They’re on a roll. And they continue to say everyone else is “destroying democracy” but them.

Certainly Not the elder abuser known as Dr Jill. She is still pushing the disgusting lie that he is fit for office. You did forget one thing Alex. He will pardon his son Hunter and his entire family!

Spot on Margaret... anyone who has had a loved one battle with dementia, you may have good moments, but seldom good days. If Jill Biden truly loved her husband, she would have put a stop to this months ago. When my mom started to slip before Covid (and her decline really accelerated under the lockdowns) it put a tremendous strain on my father and sister - the primary care givers. If she were truly feeling the same pain and stress this nonsense would never have reached this point of insanity.

Jill has people to take care of Joe, that's the difference. She doesn't have to worry about him getting out of the house and disappearing. She doesn't have to bathe him, dress him and struggle to get him to eat. My mother was my father's primary caregiver and my two brothers and I took turns staying with my father so she could have 5 afternoons off a week. It was very hard on her. She lost 15lbs from a petite frame. Her face seemed to age by the day. She was in her late 70s when my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

I'm no Trump fan, voted for Jill Stein in the last.

No question in my mind that the electoral process was manipulated, that Biden was not elected but installed and thus illegitimate. Whether it was China or just plain vanilla Deep State who installed him I don't know.

As others have noted, anybody being honest with himself has known for 4 years that Joe was in over his head, and incompetent to lead. Good riddance.

A vote for Jill Stein was effectively a vote for Biden.

Biden didn't need votes--the election was stolen by the people who installed him as Imposter-in-Chief.

Voting third party allows me to wake up the next morning with a clear conscience.

Basically they have to use the 25th amendment on Biden, and he will fail the cognitive test.

Then Kamala is president & she can appoint Taylor Swift as her VP.

Then we all live under the iron fist of Taylor swift, and the gulags will be the only place where her music isn't played, so most of us just pick up and move there voluntarily.

Your political insight never ceases to amaze me. It’s Swift in a landslide by voters who have no idea how awful her music is.

Who in their right mind believes anything the mainstream press reports anymore? They've been gaslighting the country for months on his fitness to be POTUS. Pathetic.

The problem is the Democrats won't want to finally acknowledge a truth they've fiercely denied for months...

Biden slept through a missing Secy of Defense. He does not know his left from his right. He is a threat to the USA and a laughing stock on the world stage. But his campaign continues to make excuses or just plain lie. It appears the American public is not being fooled-at least I hope so.
