Biden drops out of the race.

Yeah, well that is just it. Is to cause Chaos? like the last election and COVID 19. Our enemies such as China, Russia, and North Korea are foaming at the mouth and using social media BOTS to collapse our society.

I'm still investigating, along with three of my closest friends (also attorneys), in an attempt to understand why the donkeys concealed and obfuscated many things about Joe Biden over the last four years.

By the way, has anyone ever seen, known, or know the whereabouts of "Corn Pop"?



 
Presumably whoever wrote it for him signed it for him, doing their best to imitate his signature.
During my decades in serving in our Army, if someone is serving as the "acting battery commander", her/his signature block uses /for the commander/ followed by the designeee's name, rank, branch signature block.

I'm struggling to understand why in the matter under discussion things were done in this manner.

By the way, Biden hasn't been seen by members of the public in FIVE days.

He was last seen on TV, Wednesday last attempting to alight from AIR FORCE ONE via the "kiddie stairs". At that time he appeared feeble, perhaps very ill. It was known at the time, the man had been infected with a version of COVID.

BIDEN ADMINISTRATION

Where is Joe Biden? Kamala Harris shares update as president battles COVID-19

Biden, remains isolated at his Rehoboth, Delaware, beach home, where he has been since his COVID-19 diagnosis.

By NBC Chicago Staff and The Associated Press Published 2 hours ago Updated 2 hours ago

Jenn Schanz breaks down what's next after President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race Sunday and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris.
Questions have been swirling about President Joe Biden's location and why he hasn't been seen publicly in days, especially after Sunday's sudden departure from the presidential race.
During a speech at the White House, her first public appearance since receiving Biden's endorsement in the race for president, Vice President Kamala Harris said Biden was continuing to recover from COVID, which he tested positive for last week.
"Our president, Joe Biden, wanted to be here today. He is feeling much better and recovering fast, and he looks forward to getting back on the road," she told the crowd at an event celebrating NCAA champion athletes.
Biden, remains isolated at his Rehoboth, Delaware, beach home, where he has been since his COVID-19 diagnosis.
Biden's decision to bow out came after escalating pressure from his Democratic allies to step aside following the June 27 debate, in which the 81-year-old president trailed off, often gave nonsensical answers and failed to call out the former president's many falsehoods.
In his first post-debate interview, Biden said he was convinced that he is the best person to take on Trump, adding that he could only be persuaded to step down "if the Lord Almighty comes out and tells me that."
But as his resolute posture failed to quell the unrest in his party, Biden suggested he could be moved to withdraw in other ways. Biden is already the country's oldest president and had insisted repeatedly that he was up for the challenge of another campaign and another term.

 
If the signature wasn't his AND he still wanted to be in the race, he and his staff can certainly say so. Indeed, he could show up at the convention and say that the letter withdrawing from the race wasn't genuine. I don't see that happening. If Biden and his camp don't deny that the letter is genuine then there is no reason to suppose differently. That so far Biden and his staff have made no mention of a fraudulent letter suggests to me that whatever you think of the signature, the letter accurately reflects his desire to get out. Politicians often are stubborn people and apt not to see their weaknesses. It took awhile, but his staff may have finally made it apparent to the the President that his skills were diminishing and that a second term would be too much for him. Trump's advisors should do the same. As I've long said, I don't think either one of them is, at the this point, competent for the job. The Democrats, belated though it was, has finally taken action to address that problem on their side. Republicans who really care about the future of the country should do the same and get Trump out of the race. Trump has lately also shown signs of cognitive decline. Regardless of party, the county is not in good hands with a mentally diminished president.

Biden had no desire to get out of the race. He was forced out by the Democratic elite not because of his health, but because he couldn't win against Trump. It was a coup. If Biden is healthy enough to serve out his term, then he is healthy enough to run for office.

If you want to talk about a threat to democracy, it's right in front of your face. Disenfranchise all the people that voted for Biden in the primaries and install Harris as the presumptive nominee. A coup plain and simple.

Mark Halperin posted Biden's intention on Thursday, July 18th on X.

I suspect that I'm not the only one who anticipated Biden dropping out, the rough timing, his endorsement of Harris.

While he can finish out his term, four more years would likely take a serious toll. The stress of the Presidency is known to age the person holding the office.

Sunday is the obvious day to make such an announcement - start of the week's news cycle. Doesn't require a rocket scientist to make this prediction.

Harris is the one Biden chose as his second-in-command. No shock that he'd endorse her.
 
Tucker had on his podcast that according to Vegas PD, Biden was on deaths doorstep. He had a major health scare and could not campaign. The powers that be decided to end his candidacy. Why or How anyone considers that the Democratic party and members there in plotted to kill another Presidential Candidate should be concerning to everyone. It is so important that the democrats remain in power that they would kill an opponent through there appointees in such offices as the FBI or CIA,

For the democrats through their own legions have taken the communist play book and are running it play by play. They accuse the Republicans of being the threat to democracy when it is their-selves who have tried to arrest, capture, and kill their political opponents. They have used staged events such as Jan 6 (which contained as many federal agents as it did protestors) to make the other party out to be the bad ones. I am not saying both party's don't have their flaws but I don't see Democrats talking about great America is. I see them trying to turn it into some sort of socialist oligarchy with demigod leaders who force their will and desires on the American people.

Did you watch any of the congressional hearings yesterday where the director of USSS testified? Or did you read Senator Ron Johnson's preliminary report about the assassination attempt? Are you at all concerned about what happened on July 13th? The evidence is starting to mount up that the assassination attempt was allowed to happen through incompetence or collusion. The evidence is not there yet but it is getting there.

Now don't start spouting about conspiracy theories. Just look at the facts that have already been published. Start with the preliminary report from Senator Ron Johnston. If you take the time to read it and it doesn't give you a pain in your stomach, I would be surprised.

Every American should be extremely concerned about how this assassination attempt happened regardless of political affiliation.

this is the same information that was posted elsewhere. They tracked the cell devices at Crooks home to locations close to FBI offices. Additionally, Crooks was in a Blackrock commercial in 2022, just so happens that Blackrock owns a portion of Ropers Technologies which owns Agr the building the shooter was on. Things that are too obvious to be coincidental but this is not the early 1960s. Technology allows people to uncover things that they could not previously uncover. Even shadow operations can not hide.

Details surrounding the horrific assassination of JFK are still dribbling, as in trickling in, even though the investigation ended decades ago.

I was never a fan of JFK.

That said, I abhor violence against any politician.

I gave 35 years of my life serving in my nation's Army.

Not only did I serve, I served five of those in JFK's Vietnam venture.

Fast forward 48 years after we abandoned our forays across southeast Asia, someone (perhaps something) attempted to assassinate former president Trump.

Personally, I liked Trump's policies.

Even if I disliked everything about him, I'd be just as vocal and strident, calling out the entity/entities who attempted to harm him.

That said, our country has been forced to endure assassinations (or attempts) at least 16 documented times.

Each attempt, regardless of the target is reprehensible in my view. Each attempts facts, circumstances, and findings must quickly be made known to the citizenry.

The first commander in chief to survive an attempt on his life was President Andrew Jackson, a Democrat who became notorious for expanding executive power. On January 30, 1835, an unemployed house painter named Richard Lawrence shot at Jackson as he was leaving a funeral held at the U.S. Capitol. Lawrence's pistol misfired, allowing the 67-year-old president to lunge at his assailant with his cane. "Let me alone! Let me alone! I know where this came from," Jackson reportedly cried. Lawrence drew another gun, but it similarly malfunctioned. An expert later found that the chances of both pistols misfiring were incredibly small, approximately 125,000 to 1.

Bystanders—among them Davy Crockett, then a Tennessee congressman—subdued the would-be assassin, then rushed Jackson into a carriage and brought him back to the White House. Speculation on Lawrence's motive ran rampant, with some observers attributing the attack to discontent over Jackson's efforts to dismantle the national bank. The president himself chimed in, accusing a longtime political rival of hiring Lawrence to kill him.

"Before two hours were over, the name of almost every eminent politician was mixed up with that of the poor maniac who caused the uproar," wrote British social theorist Harriet Martineau, who witnessed the assassination attempt. Ultimately, the gossip proved partially correct: Lawrence believed he was the English king Richard III, and he blamed Jackson's opposition to the bank for depriving him of land owed to him by Congress. A jury found Lawrence not guilty by reason of insanity, and he died in an asylum in 1861.


An attempt to kill Theodore Roosevelt on October 14, 1912, offers a clearer parallel to the July 13 attack on former President Trump. At the time, Roosevelt, himself a former two-term Republican president, was running for election as a third-party candidate, seeking to return to the White House after a four-year absence. As Roosevelt left his hotel in Milwaukee, unemployed saloon owner John Schrank shot him in the chest with a Colt .38 revolver. Members of the crowd tackled Schrank, and if not for Roosevelt's intervention, they might have killed him on the spot.


Luckily for Roosevelt, his glasses case and 50 pages of notes for a planned speech saved him from a fatal injury, preventing the bullet from piercing his lung. Undeterred, the Progressive Party candidate proceeded with his speech, telling the audience, "I shall ask you to be as quiet as possible. I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot—but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose." Less than a month after the assassination attempt, Democrat Woodrow Wilson defeated Roosevelt and incumbent President William Howard Taft in the 1912 election.

Schrank, for his part, claimed that McKinley, another assassinated president, had appeared to him in a dream and ordered him to shoot Roosevelt. A jury found Schrank not guilty by reason of insanity, and he spent the rest of his life in a state hospital.

On February 15, 1933, just two weeks before Inauguration Day, Italian immigrant Giuseppe Zangara shot at President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt while he was speaking at a rally in Miami. Lillian Cross, a housewife who happened to be standing near Zangara, reacted instinctively to thwart the shooter. As she later recalled, "I said to myself, 'Oh, he's going to kill the president! I had my bag in my right hand, but in less time than it takes to tell, I switched it to my left hand and caught him by the arm.'" Other bystanders quickly intervened, stopping Zangara from shooting the president but failing to keep him from firing a total of five shots, which injured four people and fatally wounded Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak.

Zangara told authorities that he'd tried to kill Roosevelt because he hated "all presidents, no matter from what country they come," as well as "all officials and everybody who is rich." He was convicted of Cermak's murder and executed by the electric chair just weeks later, on March 20, 1933.

On the afternoon of November 1, 1950, a commotion awoke President Harry S. Truman, who was taking a nap before a scheduled visit to Arlington National Cemetery. Peering out of a window at Blair House, a rowhouse across the street from the White House, which was undergoing renovations, the president was "waved back quickly by frantic guards," the Associated Press reported the following day.

Unbeknownst to Truman, a deadly confrontation was unfolding outside of his suite. Secret Service agents were attempting to stop two men, Oscar Collazo and Griselio Torresola, from killing the president as part of a broader uprising in favor of Puerto Rican independence. The gunfight, which lasted less than a minute, injured two guards and left two people dead: Torresola and White House police officer Leslie Coffelt, the only Secret Service member killed while protecting the president from an assassination attempt.

Collazo was captured and sentenced to death, but Truman commuted his sentence to life imprisonment, bemoaning the "unnecessary" loss of life caused by the attack and stating that he was "never in danger." After serving 29 years, he was paroled, and he died in Puerto Rico in 1994. In the aftermath of the shooting, Congress passed a law permanently authorizing Secret Service protection of the president, his immediate family, the president-elect and the vice president.

The majority of would-be or successful presidential assassins are men. But in September 1975, two women joined their ranks, separately attempting to kill President Gerald Ford within just days of each other. Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, a 26-year-old follower of cult leader and convicted murderer Charles Manson, targeted the Republican leader on September 5, pointing a pistol at him as he walked from his hotel to the California State Capitol in Sacramento. A Secret Service agent grabbed the gun and took Fromme, who claimed to be motivated by a desire to save the environment, into custody.

Fromme was sentenced to life imprisonment. The judge presiding over her trial said, "Had John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy or Martin Luther King been allowed to live out their lives rather than having fallen at the hands of a person like yourself, they could have accomplished more for our environment and for all mankind than all the terrorists in the history of the world—you and Charles Manson included." She was eventually paroled in 2009.

On September 22, 17 days after Fromme's failed attack, Sara Jane Moore, a 45-year-old mother of four, fired two shots at Ford outside of a hotel in San Francisco. The first bullet missed, while the second struck a cab driver in the groin. Moore, who was known for her erratic behavior, had recently "immersed herself in the world of San Francisco's leftist political groups, in part out of a personal fascination and in part because the FBI had recruited her as an informant," wrote Atlas Obscura in 2015. Sentenced to life in prison, Moore was paroled in 2007. Two years later, she told a reporter that she had believed "the only way [the U.S.] was going to change was a violent revolution.

On March 30, 1981, John Hinckley Jr. shot Reagan in a misguided attempt to attract the attention of actress Jodie Foster. As the Republican commander in chief was leaving a hotel in Washington, D.C., Hinckley fired six shots, one of which hit Reagan five inches below his left armpit. Also struck were a police officer, a Secret Service agent and the White House press secretary, James Brady.

In the immediate aftermath of the attempted assassination, broadcast anchors inadvertently spread misinformation about the attack, reporting that Reagan wasn't hit and that Brady had died of his injuries. In truth, the president was rushed to the hospital, where he underwent a two-hour emergency surgery. Despite losing more than half of his blood volume, Reagan survived the encounter, emerging more popular than ever. Brady, meanwhile, died of health issues stemming from the shooting in 2014. Hinckley, who was found not guilty by reason of insanity, spent time in a psychiatric hospital but was released in 2016 and freed of all government oversight in 2022.

While President Bill Clinton watched a football game at home on October 29, 1994, a man in a trench coat started firing at the White House through the bars of the fence surrounding the estate. By the time a group of passers-by tackled the gunman, Colorado resident Francisco Martin Duran, he had fired nearly 30 rounds with an assault rifle.

Though none of the bullets injured anyone, particularly the president, officials dealt with Duran severely. As Ronald K. Noble, who oversaw the Secret Service at the time, wrote in a letter to the judge presiding over Duran's trial for attempted assassination, the incident was "the first shooting directed at the White House in over 150 years," and Duran's actions "were an assault on all people of the United States, as well as on the president." The judge sentenced the shooter to 40 years in federal prison, where he remains.

A visit abroad in May 2005 marked President George W. Bush's closest brush with an attempted assassin. While the Republican politician was giving a speech in Tbilisi, Georgia, on May 10, a Georgian national named Vladimir Arutyunian tossed a grenade toward the podium where Bush was standing. It landed 61 feet away, near the area where American first lady Laura Bush, Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili and the Georgian first lady were sitting. The grenade failed to detonate, as a red handkerchief wrapped around it stopped the firing pin from deploying quickly enough. Though Arutyunian escaped the scene of the crime, the FBI worked with local authorities to track him down and indict him. A Georgian court sentenced Arutyunian, who accused Saakashvili's administration of being a puppet of the U.S., to life imprisonment.

In the nearly 250 years since its founding, the United States has witnessed its fair share of political violence, from four presidential assassinations to an 1856 caning on the Senate floor to a 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol that left at least five dead. Despite this history of bloodshed, Saturday's attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump shocked the nation, drawing comparisons to the tumultuous 1960s, a decade marked by the killings of such public figures as John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., among others, and threatening to further fracture the populace at a pivotal point in the 2024 presidential race.

Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old who opened fire at a Trump campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, failed to assassinate the former president, only wounding him in the ear. But the gunman, whose motive and state of mind are still unknown, killed one bystander and seriously injured two others before being shot by the Secret Service himself.


Crooks' attack was the 16th of its kind in American history. According to a 2009 report by the Congressional Research Service, 15 "direct assaults against presidents, presidents-elect and candidates" took place between 1835 and 2005, resulting in the deaths of five politicians: Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, William McKinley, John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy. (Other assassination plots have targeted such presidents as George Washington, Herbert Hoover and Barack Obama, but authorities uncovered these conspiracies before the would-be killers could take action.)

 
Biden had no desire to get out of the race. He was forced out by the Democratic elite not because of his health, but because he couldn't win against Trump. It was a coup.

No, not a coup. They didn't storm the White House, kick out Biden and install Harris as president instead. If they had, that would be a coup. Even forcing Biden to resign so Harris becoming president now might be described as a coup. They didn't do either.

Biden remains the president and will be the president until January 20, when his term naturally ends and the candidate who got the most electoral votes in the general election takes over. That's our system functioning as it was designed to do. What we are seeing is internal party politics, and throughout our history we've seen several instances of parties struggling, going through chaos, or imploding. Parties are not included in the Constitution nor are their internal operations governed by federal law. So for all the drama, this isn't a legal problem. It's a party matter. The party officially picks its candidate at the party convention, which hasn't been held yet. So following the party rules, they'll hold the convention in a few weeks and the delegates will decide who will be the party's candidate. That's how it's worked for decades. That's nothing new. That's not a coup.

I don't see why Trump Republicans shouldn't care about this because their candidate is still in the race and to hear them tell it, they believe Trump would crush any opponent. So for them the side show on the Democratic side shouldn't matter. In fact, they should be delighted by the chaos on he other side. IMO it's not obvious that Harris would do better in the general election than Biden. There are other Democrats who I think would match up better against Trump. It'd only be a problem for the Trump Republicans if, despite what they say, Trump isn't a sure thing and they think Harris would be harder to beat than Biden. If Trump were the obvious best candidate that wouldn't be a worry, right?

Each party gets to select its candidate as it rules allow. For most of our history, party bossess selected the candidates; the primary system as we know is a product of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Before that, the party conventions were much more meaningful than they are today. So it's not like the party system we have today is deeply entrenched in our history back to the founding fathers. Some of the founders didn't want to see a party system arise at all as they distained the British party system. If the party doesn't want Biden on its ticket, that's its choice. If the party members are unhappy about it, they can change the leadership of the party and/or the party rules to make the party work as they want. Though from what I've seen, few Democrats are terribly upset that Biden dropped out. Their fight is more about who should replace him on the ticket; there are some who would like some other candidate there instead of Harris.

The voters will still make the ultimate choice of who takes the presidency in November. Thats the contest that most matters.
 
They have used staged events such as Jan 6 (which contained as many federal agents as it did protestors) to make the other party out to be the bad ones.

You seem to either have forgotten what happened on Jan 6 or are intentionally misrepresenting it to try to make your points. Your arguments are weaker for it. If you look back on what happened Jan 6, you'll that it was Trump that urged the crowd to go to the capitol building, with the goal of disrupting the electoral vote. We know that because Trump tried to get Pence to declare the votes invalid, a power Pence didn't even have. And if there were a lot of federal agents at the January 6 Capitol fracas they were to try to contain any violence or destruction of property. Furthermore, who was President on Jan 6? Oh yeah, it was TRUMP. As chief executive, if he didn't want them there, all he had to do was give the order. He didn't. Nothing about any of this suggests it was a staged events by the Democrats. In fact, such a claim is laughable. The Democrats have had plenty of problems, but Jan 6 is not one you can credibly lay at their feet. If that's what you have to resort to tar the Democrats, it's really, really weak. I'm a Republican and I don't buy it. Only the most fervent Trump supporters would ignore what actually happened and reimagine it as a Democratic staged event.

Trump asked for more National Guard members to protect the capital, it was denied. Yes, there were federal agents (FBI) embedded in the protestors instigating them for they are testifying against the defendants of Jan 6. Notice none of the rioters have been charged with insurrection. The Proud Boys leader wasn't even there, and got one of the largest sentences handed down. I am a Christian and am proud of that fact, Democrats don't represent me and haven't for a long time. If you hate Trump so much then you should equally hate the O'Bamacrat cult because they are far more dangerous to democracy. Since Ross Perot they have denied 3rd party candidates a voice, and maybe we should have other parties than just two. However, the Senate ensured that no 3rd party candidate could ever remain since they saw a scenario in which the USA wouldn't elect a President.

Can anyone imagine Kamala Harris running this country? It would be unthinkable and they would have a lot more success with a candidate like Newsom or even Mayor Pete. I just do not see it unless of course the Dems have something else up their sleeve. Interesting enough is if they would have killed Trump then Biden would have been saved, and he would have served out his remaining term. Whether you believe in god or not. It was divine intervention which saved Trump from an assassins bullet. The Democrats since O'Bama days in the White House uses the media to instigate things they want on some sort of social justice trip. Trump is a mans man and a great leader. Funny that you would abandon your claimed party because main stream media and the left have convinced you that orange man bad.

Blessed are those you bless Israel and curssed are those who curse it. This country was founded on judeo christain values which give glory to god. On our money and in our court pleadings. I figured as an attorney you would know this.
