This announcement today was BRILLIANTLY timed.
It completely pops the balloon of any remaining coverage of the Republican convention.

I bet Biden purposely timed this to be just after that convention, so they couldn't use that platform to start attacking Kamala Harris.

And I bet he's been spending the last several weeks gaming all of this out.

Oh and it was just yeaterday you DUmmies were claiming "Joeys got this" and we have already voted and will not stand for being disenfranchised.

Yeah that Joe, he is smarter than the average potato.

All he cares about is defeating DJT and he's selfless enough to get behind Prosecutor Harris and to throw her all his delegates.

She might have had more of a challenge in a Democratic primary; and, if she did win, the Republicans would have targeted her at their convention.

Now, they're the victims of a sneak attack by Biden and Harris -- and they aren't happy about this at all. They just went through a whole convention bad-mouthing a person who turns out not to be their November opponent.

And they chose a VP who is almost the worst possible option against her. And the D's get to choose their VP nominee after the R's have already put Vance out there.

Hah

Sure it was all part of a master plan.

They must be scrambling at Orangina/Shithead central...

Their entire campaign is/was based on running against President Biden. They are going to have projectile vomiting retooling the campaign if it comes to that. Too ****ing bad.

Meanwhile, I’m terribly upset and stressed out as to what is going on. My heart aches and I’m depressed.

As I said at the time:

If you think any warrior isn't prepared for battle against anyone, you are vastly underestimating the power of the Republican party and every contingency plan.

The little political voice in my head is telling me Biden will drop out tomorrow. He'll let Trump have his big night at the RNC and then take the spotlight away on Friday. I've been in the "keep Joe" camp, but I get a sense something is about to give. Whatever happens, we've got to make sure whoever is running on the Democratic ticket at any level is elected in November. What a cluster****.

Schumer and Jefferies stop nomination process

Per ABC News.
BREAKING: Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries pushed the party to delay its nominating process, multiple sources tell ABC News.

This comes after Schumer met privately with Pres. Biden on Saturday in Rehoboth, Delaware. Following the meeting, Schumer only described it as a "good meeting."


A bunch of racist billionaires are trying to disenfranchise 14 million Democratic voters that have already chosen their candidate.

It's starting to feel like the Party is imploding and I am sick to my stomach. If they kick Biden off the ticket we will lose, especially so if they kick VP Harris off as well. This is a ****ing nightmare. I cannot believe the Democratic Party is doing this.

Reference: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/live-updates/2024-election-campaign-updates/?id=111816443&entryId=112034588

As the stupid idiots assure themselves that Trump shot himself and Vance is the devil incarnate, their deities screw them over. HILARIOUS.

It's become downright insulting. Biden is clearly still lucid and up to the task, but the media refuses to let it go. Suddenly Trump is the golden boy rather than the orange boy and his advanced age and delusional ramblings aren't even mentioned. If you haven't already emailed your Congress people and senators, do it. Tell them to STFU and get on with the job of beating Trump in November.

I guess this genius doesn’t understand she needs electoral votes not delegates to win 

He knows he is a loser, I guess he gets a golden parachute and a super secure butt plug for hunter.

[BamaMoose]

Interesting how comfortable they are with the concept of Joe flat out lying to the American people for the past few months.  Just a few days ago Joe reiterated he was in it to the end.  I wonder if he actually does have COVID, or if that was an excuse to pull him out of the public eye so they could have an intervention.  And this comment shows just delusional they are:

Because of the timing, the Dems basically have no other option than Harris (who even the Dems don't like).  Because if they choose someone else there will be an all-out civil war in their party with the blacks leading the charge.  And the RNC wasn't all about attacking Joe, but rather about showing how incompetent his entire administration, including Harris, has been.  So, no, this timing does not seriously undercut anything that happened at the RNC, but it paints the Dems into a corner with no clear path to beat Trump.  Their only hope is to try to stir up so much Trump-hate that they convince people to just vote against him, not for the Dem candidate.  I expect to see a lot of negative ads, but not very many touting her abilities because she has done almost nothing as VP.  It will be interesting to see if he gets included in any campaigning or if they just keep him hidden in the basement for the rest of his term.

[ADsOutburst]

You know what's not brilliant? Pushing aside your candidate and incumbent president after all the steadfast insistence that he was doing a great job, that he was the right man at the right time, and that you stood behind him.

It wouldn't surprise me to find out that Biden doesn't even know.  In the days to come we had better be seeing Biden dictating and signing the letter documented by official presidential photographers.  Such an unprecedented occurrence in our nation's history--they had better have all the i's dotted and all the t's crossed.

THE TIMING WAS PERFECT!!!

Except for the whole quitting thing it was freaking masterful.

Well, so much for "Ridin with Biden."

Now it's Kamala "Hawk Tuah" Harris.

[SVPete]

No amount of lipstick or polishing can make Biden's pig turd anything more than a pig turd.

[ROCKURWORLD]

So IF Harris is the nominee instead of JD mopping the floor with her we will have Caesar salad vs House salad. I'm sure it will be a stupendous debate 

[Rebel]

I'm seeing black democrats on X, democrats, saying there's not way in hell they'll vote for Kamala. 

[miskie]

Nothing is “brilliantly timed” about any of this- they all seem to be ignoring the question of campaign funds raised so far.. The ONLY option they have to keep it all in place is by nominating Harris. -Otherwise the new candidate will start off with nearly nothing versus Trump’s gigantic windfall.

Unless they find a way to cheat campaign finance laws.. which they probably will..

[SVPete]

Joe announcing in 2022 or 2023 that he's one-and-done would have been "brilliant timing". Beyond that the only uncertainty would have been how big and rancid the pig turd would be.

Won't even pretend to be a lawyer or campaign finance expert, but I've already read/heard rumblings that Republican Party will be challenging the legality of not just the transfer of money from one candidate to another AND the legality of removing Biden from state ballots. No matter if it works or not, gumming up the works will be very significant going forward considering how the Democrats rat-****ed us with their weird voting rules during the Chinese Wuhan Red Death in 2020.

If Kammie gets the nomination, I think she can keep/use the $$$$. If not, she might be able to transfer the $$$$ to the candidate, but that assumes she doesn't have a snit, and it might be subject to legal challenge. Whether the R Party would have standing in such a lawsuit is doubtful, but delaying access to the $$$$, Dem spending habits, and bill-non-paying habits could have consequences in 2028 and 2032.

If nominee isn’t Harris, contributions have to be refunded: Federal Election Commission

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/washington-secrets/3093022/if-nominee-isnt-harris-contributions-have-to-be-refunded-federal-election-commission/

Since the two ran together as a ticket, only she would have access to the Biden-Harris funds if she takes the top spot, said a Federal Election Commission member.

Commissioner and election lawyer Trey Trainor told Secrets, “If Biden drops out and Harris isn’t the nominee, then there will have to be massive refunds of contributions to donors to the Biden campaign.”

He explained that like most campaigns, Biden took in big campaign donations and designated some of each to the primaries for the Biden-Harris ticket and some for the general election.

“Most presidential campaigns collect a contribution from donors in double the amount of the federal limit and allocate half to the primary election and half to the general election. Biden did that, and it was legal even though he really had no primary opposition. That means he and Harris have a large chunk of money that is only available to be spent in the general election,” Trainor said.

“However, if Harris doesn’t become the nominee, that means she never entered the general election, and those dollars are legally required to be refunded. The money cannot be transferred to the DNC or anywhere else — it must be refunded,” he said.

His comment appears to be the plain language of the FEC' guideline. That said, if Kammie is not nominated for President (or VP?) and doesn't throw a snit, she may try to "donate"/"transfer" the $$$ to the nominee in defiance of the guideline. IOW, "So sue me!" Because she believes she is above the law.

[FlippyDoo]

Dear DUmmies, please don't let these evil rethuglicans get to you. It most probably was all planned out by Biden. After all, he's as sharp as a tack behind closed doors. All the stuff in public was just a sham. An acting job. Because he is indeed playing 4-D chess. He knows that no rethuglican can compete with the brilliant oral oratory skills of Kamala. If you'd ask Kamala about it, I'm sure she'd tell you this...

Yes, Joe was playing 4-D chess. He was thinking of what can be, unburdened by what has been. For those who are wondering. 4 is a number, and "D" is the letter "D" which is part of the alphabet. Other letters of the alphabet make up the word "chess" which is also a game. Who doesn't love chess? I mean, I love chess. Plus, just by dropping one letter and adding a new one you can turn "chess" into "chest" which can be box into which you can put things. Things like treasure which are things that you treasure or even ideas. Ideas like what can be, unburdened by what has been.

And I bet he's been spending the last several weeks gaming all of this out.

He went on:

I know right from wrong. I know how to do this job. I know how to get things done. I know, like millions of Americans, I know, when you get knocked down, you get back up.
Biden then made plain that he believed he can still do the job:

Folks, I give you my word as a Biden, I would not be running again if I didn’t believe with all my heart and soul I can do this job. Because, quite frankly, the stakes are too high.

Do you lurking primitives get it yet--how much his "word as a Biden" is worth?  Nothing!

He's been spending the last several weeks negotiating a golden parachute for himself and that good for nothing son of a bitch kid of his. 

The only gaming he has been doing is playing his supporters for the suckers and losers that they are.
