    Democrats Deeply Concerned About Biden Reelection Prospects - Reports, 05.28.2024.

    WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – Democrats are deeply concerned about US President Joe Biden’s reelection prospects, Politico reported on Tuesday, citing more than a dozen party leaders and operatives.

    They said the gap between what they were willing to publicly and privately say was only growing amid a freak-out over Biden’s consistently poor polling and the real prospect of another Trump presidency.

    One advisor said they kept a running list of nearly two dozen reasons why Biden could lose the November election as easy reference to show major Democratic donors, while the number of reasons Biden could win were too few to merit a list.

    Former President Donald Trump is polling ahead of Biden in most battleground states and raised $25 million more than Biden last month.

    Former President Donald Trump is polling ahead of Biden in most battleground states and raised $25 million more than Biden last month.

    Wow... imagine what you could do with 25 million dollars... and they are not saying Trump has 25 million and Biden has none... they are probably looking at 75 to 100 million each to run a campaign so we are probably talking at the very least Biden with 75 million and Trump with 100 million dollars... probably more.

    But obviously in the US there is nothing that needs about $200 million dollars to fix, and nothing is broken there so just throw the money on election campaigning and bribes of course... which is ironic because it is donated as a bribe.

    Funny they are more worried about their guy winning than they are about what is best for their country and I would say neither are best for the US.

    The only person I have seen come close in the last decade would be Bernie Sanders, but when corrupt hillary knocked his feet out from under him he folded like a deck chair and thanked her for it... such lack of character means he would have been a weak president... but of course I can say that because Hillary never threatened to have me and my family murdered... yet.

    So Trump was found guilty by a unanimous vote of his juror "peers".

    1) This was a show trial because there were no laws broken. Hush money is not a crime. What are non-disclosure agreements if it is a crime? It is just another
    type of NDA.

    2) Key witnesses were clearly malicious and committed actual crimes against Trump.

    3) The "peers" label is utter garbage. A proper jury of peers would:

    a) have no instructions from judges and lawyers as to what to decide and how to decide

    b) would not be selected/filtered by a lengthy process and instead would be a random sample of 12 people

    The US was corrupt, now it is an official banana republic.

    Anyone who thinks this is not an Orwellian obscenity is a retard.    Make believe there is a crime that is not identified, no evidence for and not even being tried,
    and hang off a collection of kangaroo inferences about breaking of other laws on it.   This is not similar to a missing body in a murder case.

    The jury is a collection of chimps.  Every single one of them should have acted to force a mistrial because there was no basis for any decision.
    The system shows what juries are in fact as opposed to the fairy tales peddled by the system about them.

    Aren't Jurors professional in the US?

    I seem to remember they are picked from the juristiction of where the court case is being held so people would file cases against big companies out in the sticks where most of the jurors will be locals because there is a greater chance of a big payout because rural people tend to hate banks and big business (because they regularly get screwed by them of course).

    It is like when Top Gear went to the US and drove cars to highlight the plight of the people in New Orleans about a decade after a hurricane and it was still a mess and so they had bought their cars for the episode so they decided to donate the cars they used to the locals. One of the new car recipients sent their laywers because they claimed they were promised a 1986 model and they got a 1982 model or some such nonsense... but $50 grand would make the case go away...

    I was in a lecture for a computer related course and this nerdy guy was teaching us about programming in Pascal. It was a first year paper and one of my friends... a large Maori chap, was struggling to understand the concepts, and he said something along the lines of... how much do I need to pay to pass this paper, and the lecturer said $20K. Without smiling my friend said... What!... I could have you killed for $5K... the nerd went very pale... very funny. He eventually laughed... the relief to the lecturers face was clear for all to see... and a few other students that had looked a bit worried too seemed to relax a little.

    I pointed out that there is no point in buying your way though the paper because lots of papers require the ability to programme to pass as well so you are just either going to have to buy the University a new library, or kill off half their staff.

    He smiled and said he might try some tutoring and if that doesn't work he will rethink his options.

    Cosby was the victim of a collection of gold diggers. Trump also has these worms come out of the woodwork every so often but they always disappear
    since they do not have enough resources to litigate against him.

    We had some females claiming that Kavanaugh "raped" them in the 1980s. But for some reason there was never a police report or any evidence of
    action taken by these "victims". The term "rape" has lost all meaning. It now means, according to official statistics, that when women are called
    bad names (e.g. whore) that is a "rape" incident on campus. Do you remember what happened 40 years ago in detail? You must have photographic
    memory disease of you do. Memories that old are in the transition stage where fact and fiction are no longer separable. You may even "remember"
    totally false "memories". The 1980s were not the dark ages and women would not get stoned for accusing a man of rape. Having a tryst and then
    regretting it years later (for whatever reasons) is not "rape". Young women f*ck around like there is no tomorrow chasing their chad "dream boat".
    But chad has dozens of other young females hurling themselves at him so he is not going to choose the one and settle down. Even if he did, she
    would get bored and go chasing other chads. There is no rape here.

    US media using deep fake video of Biden. This one has a shading artifact that they failed to remove.

    There is no way that dementia Joe could give such an interview. There is a vast array of videos showing him being cognitively impaired.

    BTW, that obvious deep fake video prompt reactions from barely ware normies that there is no way that such a brazen fraud would be perpetrated.
    This is the reflex reaction that the elites use to keep themselves in power. So the shading artifact may be deliberate and not a mistake. The normie
    cognitive dissonance at being lied to actually gets boosted. Normies cannot handle technical discussions and it turns them off.

    Hersh presented a scenario for replacing Biden in the presidential election, 06.21.2024.

    Hersh: Biden will be replaced if he fails at the debate with Trump.

    US President Joe Biden's poor performance in the upcoming televised debate with his Republican rival Donald Trump could lead to the choice of a new Democratic presidential candidate. American journalist Seymour Hersh reported this on June 21 in a blog on Substack, citing sources.

    According to them, in the extreme case, if Biden's performance is very poor, the current American leader and his advisers will be asked to agree to him withdrawing the nomination at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August and declaring the process open to other candidates.

    Biden could be replaced in this case by California Governor Gavin Newsom or Illinois Governor Jay Robert Pritzker, Hersh indicated. It is noted that in case of failure at the debate, the head of the White House will be able to show the best result in the second round, which will take place on September 10.

    On June 27, Biden and Trump will hold a 90-minute debate in Atlanta, Georgia, to which they will not be able to bring prepared materials. Two commercials will be shown at the debate, and campaign staff will not be able to interact with their candidates.

    Earlier, on June 19, media reported that senior members of the Democratic Party doubt Biden's victory in the upcoming elections due to his approach to the election campaign. One of the sources called the political situation around the American leader frightening.

    Prior to this, on June 16, former American leader Barack Obama was forced to remove Biden from the stage after his speech at a fundraising event for the incumbent head of state's election campaign in Los Angeles. The White House said Biden “did not freeze on stage, but simply greeted the audience . ” On the same day, American journalist Tucker Carlson said that Biden was dying in front of the whole world in real time.

    The next, 60th presidential election in the United States is scheduled for November 5, 2024. Party congresses should be held in August-September, at which one candidate from each party will be officially approved. The final stage will be the November vote.

    There is no fecking way that Dementia Joe could handle a 90 minute debate. There must be some dirty tricks planned. Maybe they
    will try to disable Trump with a localized chemical agent or even microwaves. Yes, this is very plausible and not tin foil hat inanity.
    What is inane is having a debate with Dementia Joe. I bet the moderators will be doing their job for the Biden team.

    Media: Some Democrats have begun discussing replacing Biden in the elections, 06.28.2024.

    Politico: US Democrats are actively looking for a replacement for Biden after the debate.

    MOSCOW, June 28 – RIA Novosti. Representatives of the US Democratic Party, after the unsuccessful election debates for President Joe Biden, began to discuss replacing his candidacy, writes Politico.

    "Democrats are so panicked by President Joe Biden's poor debate performance that some are actively discussing what was once unspeakable: replacing him," the publication says.

    The first debate between Biden and Trump took place on Friday night. CNN, citing its sources, reported that the US Democratic Party was in a panic after Biden's speech. The US presidential election will be held on November 5.

    According to the publication, an adviser to one of the possible Democratic presidential candidates noted that he had received several messages “about a disaster” from key donors. They insist that the party must somehow resolve this issue. At the same time, the adviser admitted that little can be done unless Biden himself decides to refuse to participate in the election.

    Other strategists close to the three potential candidates said they were bombarded with text messages during the debate. One of them noted that he has received requests to nominate the candidate he represents as an alternative to Biden. The name of this politician is not mentioned.

    According to Politico, one of the major donors and a Biden supporter said that it is time for the US president to end his campaign. The unnamed donor called Biden's speech "the worst ever" and said it was so "bad that no one will pay attention to Trump's lies."

    "Biden should drop out (of the election race. - Ed.). There is no doubt about it," his text message reads.

    The Democratic National Convention will take place in August, at which Biden will be nominated as the presidential candidate. In theory, a political association could change course and propose another person.

    Journalist Seymour Hersh said that the current president could be replaced in the election race if he loses the first debate to Trump.

    During his speech, Biden stuttered, misspoke, and at the end was unable to leave the stage without his wife's help.

    Biden confirms Alzheimer's victory, by Gleb Kuznetsov (political scientist) for VZGLYAD. 06.28.2024.

    I would be wary of saying that Biden will be replaced. They will adjust the strategy of public representation. And then - we'll see. If he stops "hanging out" in public and starts doing obscenities - one thing, if not - another.

    The debates that everyone is discussing with gusto are not about politics at all. It's about medicine.

    What you need to understand.

    Alzheimer's syndrome, a vivid picture of the transition from the early stage to the moderate stage of which Grandpa Joe shows us, is a long disease. He confidently showed "pre-dementia" during the 2020 election campaign. And almost everyone knew about it, both in his team, and in his family, and in the party, and in the US leadership, and generally everywhere where it was interesting.

    It is obvious that all possible resources, both current and planned, were spent on Biden’s treatment. If there is “something” in the innovative method, it could not go unused. (At the same time, Biden is simply forced to lead an active social life, to engage in tasks beyond his declining cognitive abilities – and this is what is traditionally considered an effective way to slow the progression of the disease).

    Nothing from the arsenal of traditional means (wide communications, cognitive training, diet) or registered drugs or candidate innovative schemes helped. Biden confidently, inevitably and at a good speed goes down the stairs. The stages of enlightenment change with the stages of darkening, the "darkness" is thicker, enlightenment is less frequent.

    The encirclement strategy is clear:

    – create maximum comfort of communication for the patient himself (repeating after him even his absurd actions, as on Omaha Beach, maximally slowing down movements during meetings and events with him - the movements of all participants in public meetings with Biden look like group exercises in underwater gymnastics in a nursing home );

    - to bring him to the maximum form for important events with medication. In March, during the address to Congress, it worked out, now it doesn't. Understanding the importance of debates - a good support for the thesis about the fundamental ineffectiveness of therapy. On March 8, during the report "On the state of affairs in the country", he simply turned out to be in good shape in the logic of the disease, and not thanks to the treatment. Now, despite intensive preparation, it didn't work out to bring him "to the light".

    This does not mean that he cannot be elected president. Dementia is a long-term disease. The question is when its progress will become impossible to hide or interpret as the evil machinations of enemies. Apraxia (motor disorders) has been present for a long time, he clearly showed aphasia (problems with speech) yesterday. Let us add an indicative symptom - “episodic memory”: vivid memories (often false in whole or in part) of a long-past episode, extremely insignificant and not related to the current contexts of communication. (This is all “I’ve known Putin for 45 years”, “I grew up in the Italian community and went to this church” and so on). You can live with this set and even “work” for years. Especially if the environment is loyal and supports the “illusion of normalcy” as best it can. What is and what will be.

    So I would be careful about saying that Biden will be replaced. They will adjust the strategy of public representation. And then – how it goes. If in public he stops “hanging out” and starts doing obscene things, that’s one thing; if not, that’s another thing.

    And, of course, it would be smart to conduct an audit of all the lies that our beloved Big Pharma has spun and registered in recent years as a cure for Alzheimer's. (This is one of the most expensive "megaprojects" in the pharmaceutical industry with a potential market capacity higher than that of Ozempic's weight loss drugs).

    In neurodegenerative diseases, by the way, there are more scandals and revocations of registration certificates and scientific articles that formed their basis than anywhere else. The drugs are becoming more expensive, and their effect is decreasing.

    But both parties in the US are more likely to replace their candidates with 40-year-old moderate, adequate politicians then the leaders of the pharmaceutical market and the FDA will admit that they were wrong and will re-evaluate or revise something.

    Biden is being persuaded to sacrifice himself, by Pëtr Akopov for RiaNovosti. 06.29.2024.

    Donald Trump is a vicious liar and Joe Biden is a good man and president, but he needs to step down. This conclusion was made by the American establishment based on the results of the debate, in this case through the mouth of Thomas Friedman from The New York Times. The incumbent president is asked to voluntarily refuse to run for a second term, appealing to his sense of duty: “If he does this, Americans will cheer Joe Biden every day for doing what Donald Trump would never do—putting country before himself.”

    Simply put, Democrats are calling on Biden to sacrifice himself on the altar of the Fatherland - because otherwise he will lose and he will be ashamed in front of America . Which America? Well, of course, the freest country in the world, which leads the rest of humanity to light and happiness - after all, this is exactly how the globalists who govern it imagine the United States . So, in order for his country to continue to serve as a guiding light for the world, President Biden should step aside and let real America deal with Donald Trump on its own by fielding a strong candidate against him?

    But excuse me, who then stands for Trump - the fake America? Wrong America? All sorts of cattle and scum? Russians? Fascists or Jews? It is not clear, but he is confidently heading towards victory, and after the debate on June 27 this became clear to most Biden supporters. That is, the situation is emergency - and something needs to be done before it’s too late.

    It will be too late in mid-August, when the Democratic convention in Chicago endorses Biden as the presidential nominee. There is still more than a month and a half until August 19, and in that time the establishment can do something.

    What exactly? To persuade Biden to drop out and find a replacement for him, and the first is inextricably linked to the second. Biden is not withdrawing from the election because he is clinging to power or being stubborn, but because he does not see a worthy replacement. He does not see anyone who could stop Trump.

    Biden, like the majority of the American establishment, hates Trump - and his main task is to prevent Donald from returning to the White House. Biden was not going to be president - in 2016, he passed Clinton ahead and ran in 2020 only to throw Trump out of the Oval Office. And he succeeded - if not at the cost of falsifications, then at least the loss of confidence in the elections among a considerable part of voters. And now Trump enters the rematch in better shape than Biden - so what's Old Joe to do?

    Leave? He would love to do it - but who will replace him against Trump? The fact of the matter is that Biden has become the uncontested Democratic candidate - not because he can defeat Trump, but because everyone else is even weaker. And this is a sign not of Trump’s strength, but of the weakness and crisis not even of the Democratic Party, but of the entire American political elite.

    Because Trump is not part of it - and this is a huge part of his success. Ordinary Americans like his unsystematic, even anti-systemic nature - despite the fact that he behaves like a showman, they accept him as such. And systemic politicians, smooth and combed, cause rejection - they are seen as professional liars and inhabitants of the “Washington swamp”.

    And against this background, Joe Biden is truly the best thing the establishment has. He clearly has the most international experience among current American politicians, is smart, has a sense of humor and, in principle, has no repulsive personal qualities. But he is old - and his increasingly evident infirmity is becoming the second rock that is dragging down his election campaign. The first stone is Americans' dislike for the establishment, of which the professional politician Biden is a part. Nor is Trump the billionaire.

    Senile infirmity, of course, has not yet reached threatening proportions, but it will undoubtedly progress, and if Biden wins, he will remain in the White House until January 2029. And most importantly, the Republicans were able to make the president’s physical health a key issue in the election. And given the split in American society into two increasingly polarised camps, Biden’s health is becoming decisive for many undecided voters. Simply put, by demonstrating his infirmity in the debates, Biden has lost his last chance to win over the undecided voters — which means he is guaranteed to lose the election.

    It is clear that the establishment is in a panic: in a second term, Trump will be much more experienced and angrier, and his attempts to "drain the Washington swamp," that is, to cleanse the deep state, could be much more successful. Especially if the Democrats also lose control of the Senate and do not regain the House of Representatives, and for now everything is heading in that direction - after all, the drowning President Biden is dragging the Democratic Party down with him.

    But what can the establishment do under these conditions? It is already almost impossible to replace Biden with another candidate - to do this, you need to convince the president in the month and a half remaining before the congress that he will give way to a stronger candidate. Without this, Biden will not refuse the nomination - there is no need to create illusions about his state of mind, there is no insanity or dementia whatsoever.

    But the problem is that the Democrats simply do not have a strong candidate to replace Biden - and everyone understands this. The options being discussed—several popular governors (most notably Gavin Newsom of California and Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan ) and a couple of senators—do not hold up to the national level. Vice President Kamala Harris is frankly weak - and will lose to Trump even more than Biden. The dream of nominating the truly popular Michelle Obama is not coming true - the former first lady categorically refuses to be nominated.

    That is, the Democrats are in a dead end, in a stalemate, if not in a zugswang - when each subsequent move only worsens the situation. Nominating a new candidate instead of Biden will also give Trump an excellent reason to say that the Democratic Party has completely failed - since it is forced to refuse to support the current president.

    There is no way out of the impasse for the establishment — because this impasse did not just arise out of nowhere, but was the result of a long journey of the American elite. The only thing that can save the establishment — that is, stop Trump — is sudden death. And not only Trump (the murder option is still relevant), but also Biden — in this case, the nomination of a new candidate will become inevitable, and sympathy for the suddenly deceased head of state will add points to his successor and, perhaps, tip the scales in his favor.

    Let's see whether the "hand of God" (or what will be passed off as it) will show itself in the current American elections.

    Even if Biden runs and wins the election he can still be taken out by the electoral college.
