Remember When The MSM Badgered President Biden

I remember every damn network and publication at one time or another suggested that President Biden was going to resign for health reasons after he won, so this election is about Kamala Harris.

I remember journalists asking Joe if he plans on serving 4 years?

Today we have a mentally and physically sick old man who can't string a sentence together and as usual, he gets a pass. It's tough to be a Democrat, he/she is held to much higher standards than Magats. RFK Jr. is making more sense than TSF is now.

TSF is not well and the MSM damn well knows that but they are afraid of his retribution. Release his medical files. This should be the narrative.

and he still might. But the standard is so low, we don't know if there is any standard at all that can actually be reached. Maybe if he tells them all to drink Kool-aide on Nov. 4.

But maybe, just maybe all this craziness is in the process of handing (against Kamala's and Tim's brilliant contrast) the election to us.

And forget about even watching cable news (which I don't watch anyways). And to be honest, even looking in here at DU.

EVERY damn lead story was "Growing calls for Biden to step aside." F'n FEEDING FRENZY!

The hypocrisy is mind blowing. Dump is a thousand times worse than Joe ever was. But it's being ignored for the most part.

Vance agrees to The Big Lie, to assuage the little baby's ego, and when, not if, Dump steps down, Vance pardons him.

We are talking about that possibility here, but where is the MSM?

It fears him, it's not about ratings. A headline that states that TSF won't be able to finish 4 years would be a huge money maker.

Being shot at is scary shit.

He'd be poorly dressed Jello in months.

Joe Biden will be bicycling the Boardwalk long after Dump needs a protective suit.

to have Vance replace Trump, but had not thought about Vance pardoning Trump.

Bet that the SOB Vance would also pardon everyone else involved in J6, from Rudy to all the people already convicted for attacking the Capitol.

The ONLY way to prevent this is to keep Vance out of the WH.

Makes perfect sense. His asslickers on the USSC probably won't let him pardon himself, so reward Vance for parroting his lies, and give him the throne for being the one person who can get him off all federal charges.

Until he has Supreme power and has Trump offed!!

Don't tell Trump I discovered this little flaw in his logic. Much.

Let the circular firing squads begin.

Remember just weeks ago all the media could say about Biden was “He’s Too Old”?
Now they let Don the Raper dance his way thru rallies, stammer and shit himself in front of the world with no questions about his senility and declining mental capacity!

Many Democratic Politicians (and DUers who wanted to be very unpopular) saw he appeared frail, and that his speaking was becoming more and more difficult to comprehend. Not many thought he was becoming cognitively impaired - at least I never did.

He was trailing badly in the polls. Covering the growing chorus from Democrats for him to stand down was the kind of thing the press lives for.

The fact is, Dems are held to a higher standard than Repukes. Harris becoming the nominee has worked out pretty well.

Do you not want MFer to stay the Repuke nominee? He's not going anywhere - no one in that party has the ability to dethrone him. He controls it from top to bottom.

Dirty Donnie has to run so if he wins (hahaha!) he can use the Extreme Court newly created total presidential immunity to kill at off the judgments against him and he believes he'll be President for life.

And, of course, they have him. This is "the man" that was so brilliantly alluded to since the 1950s by the beatnik's. Absolutely nothing has changed except we have fewer Unions since that mf'er 'rayguns' was elected in 1980.
