President Biden tells Congressional Democrats “I’m not going” in lengthy letter

The manic, frenetic language has absolutely no similarity to Hunter Biden’s writing.

Disaster.

And I am telling you...

Yeah, it's a good thing no Trump ever read words that someone else wrote.

Hunter has always exerted some element of control over his father, especially since the death of his older brother, Beau, in 2015. But in the addled state Joe is in now, unable to hide his cognitive deficits, Hunter is in the driver’s seat like never before.

That’s bad news for Democrats — and disastrous for the country.

Those who know Hunter well say that, despite his reputation as a crackhead loser, he is highly intelligent, manipulative, methodical and always out for his own ends, which, now more than ever, depend on his father maintaining power.

“Knowing them on a familial level, they [will] have to be dragged out,” said one former friend.

“I think the Bidens are going to fight all the way into the ground,” said another. “[They] only give a s- -t about themselves and the Bidens.”

Hunter also is fearless and willing to fight to the death to get what he wants. That makes him a formidable adversary for any hapless Democrat believing that all they have to do is sweet-talk Jill and Ashley Biden or appeal to Joe’s sense of party loyalty and desire to preserve his legacy.

Hunter has a lot at stake personally in Joe remaining in office. He has benefited from Joe’s power all his life, but now his future is in peril, with a looming felony tax trial in California as he awaits sentencing over his felony gun conviction in Delaware.

In other words, Hunter may view the situation as a dry run for his own political ambitions, perish the thought.

Various communications on his abandoned laptop also show he is not fond of the Obamas, and harbors a resentment that they did not respect his father sufficiently when he was vice president.

In his 2021 memoir, “Beautiful Things,” Hunter wrote that he didn’t like hanging around the Obama White House because “I didn’t want to be in the position of walking into a barbecue on a Sunday with the president and the White House staff after reading about someone throwing my dad under the bus. I knew I couldn’t control my temper and keep my mouth shut.”

If he perceives an Obama push to get rid of his father now, that will only make him dig in harder.

Apart from saving his own skin, Hunter will be enjoying the feeling of control he has at the center of the constitutional crisis facing the nation, says another former friend. He may see it as a “proving ground for his leadership skills and believe that his manifest destiny is playing out.”

Perhaps the only way to remove the Biden family grift machine is to bribe them out. Or, to put it more politely, for the Democratic donor class to provide a golden parachute of lucrative book deals, a lavish presidential library and a guaranteed pardon for any family members in legal jeopardy.

“That would do the trick,” said one former Biden confidant.

Biden makes bizarre phone call to Morning Joe

it gets worse and worse

Agree with R1. I read an e-mail Hunter wrote quite a while ago and was struck by how poorly written it was. It was a very stereotypical example of someone trying hard to sound smart. Which would be no big deal if it were someone with a more limited or lower quality education. But not a Yale Law School graduate. I remember thinking, “Huh. he’s not just a fuck up. He’s stupid, too.”

The fact that it was released is very disturbing. Implies there is no adult supervision.

He probably wouldn't mind it, but the machine is now moving full speed ahead. The money, the momentum... Yes, even Biden will benefit from being the incumbent.

On the plus side- he's pushing Trump off the front page! Lots of free publicity.

If Biden wins it will be a final verdict for Trump: you're fired.

He’s getting 25th’d. That’s why the Democrats canceled the meeting today. It’s already been decided.

Biden wants to be Effie White to the democratic parties Dreamgirls.

Or Miss Lake Dardanelle

Biden is taking a page from Trump in the last election by calling in to Morning Joe. He doesn’t sound any more incoherent than Donald did (and still does).

Wouldn't 25th be risky as the Rs will refuse to approve an interim veep?

Biden deserves the right to go down in the history books as the man who destroyed Donald Trump. I don't give a flying fuck what he looks or sounds like when he's doing public engagements. When he's in private in the Oval Office doing his job he knows exactly what he's doing, and is doing a stellar job of it.

But he didn’t destroy Donald Trump. Trump will be elected again because of Biden.

Why do they always forget that part?

^^ Is that you Theresa Caputo?

If the 25th is pursued, a new Vice President will have to be chosen. They will have to go with an extremely centrist dem in order to get approval from the House. Maybe even a centrist Republican.

ChatGPT:

If the Vice President assumes the presidency, a new Vice President is chosen according to Section 2 of the 25th Amendment. The process is as follows:

1. **Nomination by the President:** - The new President (formerly the Vice President) nominates a candidate for Vice President.

2. **Confirmation by Congress:** - The nominee must be confirmed by a majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Here is the relevant text from Section 2 of the 25th Amendment:

> Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.

### Summary of the Process:

1. **Nomination:** - The President nominates a candidate for Vice President.

2. **House of Representatives:** - The nominee is considered by the House of Representatives. A majority vote is required for confirmation.

3. **Senate:** - The nominee is also considered by the Senate. A majority vote is required for confirmation.

4. **Assumption of Office:** - Once confirmed by both Houses of Congress, the nominee becomes the new Vice President.

This process ensures that the office of the Vice President is filled in a timely manner, maintaining the line of succession and stability within the executive branch.

If Biden goes the course and wins this thing all those pussy democrats who wanted him gone are going to look like the biggest whiners and fools ever. I hope every one of them gets voted out of office.

R19 the only one who is getting out of office now is Biden.

Like this.

R19 Great. Then we’ll have no majority’s in the House and Senate.

So much for “saving democracy”. This is what it’s supposed to be about isn’t it?

Well obviously I hope they'll all be replaced by better democrats.

[quote]Wouldn't 25th be risky as the Rs will refuse to approve an interim veep?

Pay no attention to fantastical delusions.

We went through this with my father's Parkinsons. He doesn't realize (denial) that he's barely up to serving out the rest of this term. I think he needs an intervention from doctors myself.

But is this a Jennifer Holliday And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going?

Or more of a Lake Dardanelle?

Clearly nothing is going to get done that needs to be done. The planet is going to roast and humans will go right on fiddling as it does. I’m glad I have no children. The future is not looking good for the human race.

Biden pens letter pledging to stay in the race.

Why that's bad news for Joe Biden.

I have always had sympathy for Hunter and the way his dad stands by him . But I rally don't want a druggie being a close confidant of my president.

Jill is not in Washington which explains how Hunter seized control.

Some of you trolls sound as nuts as the Markle obsessed trolls.

What Russian troll farm came up with the idea that it's all Hunter running the show now?

Dear Trolls:

It’s over now. Your attempted coup is over. Once again, you lost.

True Americans are supporting the party of democracy and their candidate, President Joe Biden. We are the majority.

You’ll all have to go back to your Russian sex work now.

The Democratic Party

R31 Axios

R32 really? You’re here when this is happening?

Some patriot you are!

All that's happening at r34 is a bad gateway.

President Biden is all...

If anyone asks why the media is covering Biden this week instead of Trump, the answer is that Biden has delayed dropping out and the waiting for it to happen is going to keep taking all the attention.

[quote]If anyone asks why the media is covering Biden this week instead of Trump

What about all of the other weeks, r37? What was their excuse then?

The idea that the media hasn't covered Trump enough is some crazy shit.

[quote]The idea that the media hasn't covered Trump enough is some crazy shit.

Where are the calls for Trump to step down on FOX or CNN, r39?

Palpatina enters her car

Crazy old man sending a letter to the editor. By making the race about his health, we’re fucked because Trump will clobber him in a landslide.

Get him off my screen and find him some jello

You'll get over it, r42.

The Democrats are actually helping the Rethugs destroy Joe. Fascinating.

Joe destroyed himself.

R46 If team Biden knew he would be such a mess why did they challenge Trump to that debate...we knew Trump didn't want to but why shoot your candidacy down like that.

Its mind boggling, those first 10 minutes were painful if that what was being presented prior why do that? Is that the sign of good people surrounding the president? my apathy is through the roof.

Jennifer Holiday once sang “I’m Not Going”.

[quote]If team Biden knew he would be such a mess why did they challenge Trump to that debate.

That would seem to point to Biden's debate performance being episodic rather than a sign of an ongoing problem.

r37...

R46: they may have been optimistic that he wouldn't look quite that far gone, hoping Trump would have outbursts that would be the main story.

He’s like David Koresh, thinking if he says he’s not going to give up, the people waiting will just go away. They’re not going to go away. This will not end well.

Maybe they could give the old gupper some blood from a teenager like the Keith Richard’s method. I love how that isn’t even a metaphor of taking from the young to prop up the old it’s the thing itself.

R47, I assumed they scheduled the debate so early in the season to give him a strong debate before the inevitable acceleration of his decline. Too late.

Trump’s doctor must have depleted the White House pill bank. Can’t they give him some “vitamin” shots?

[quote]I assumed they scheduled the debate so early in the season to give him a strong debate before the inevitable acceleration of his decline.

Obviously an incorrect assumption as a second debate is scheduled for September.

[quote]The Democrats are actually helping the Rethugs destroy Joe. Fascinating.

If it's one thing we Democrats know how to do, it's to eat one's own.

AOC wrote that?

That means he is being forced out.

He is telling them NOW so he doesn’t have to tell them LATER!

[bold]"THANK YOU JOE!! You have done so much for MY campaign. Staying off the campaign trail today while Jill campaigned instead was genius!!"[/bold]---------------------->>Next President (and future American Dictator) Donald Trump

"If you don't like it run against me!!"---------------um, whose gonna tell President Magoo the DNC blocked other candidates? Joe is screwing this up for Democrats.

I read the Axios link, R33, and didn't see anything about Hunter the mastermind.

Drop out of the race?? Has anyone been asking when Trump is dropping out cuz he was convicted on 34 felonies not to mention he's only 2 years "younger " than Biden!? GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!!

R65 Trump will be elected with 34 felonies because people dislike Biden so much.

Wonder if Trump's in Russia by now. Is that why nobody has seen him? Did he finally do that runner everyone's been expecting for years?

Trump will be elected with 34 felonies because people dislike Libtards so much.

Just hanging out here on Epstein Island. Bring me another child!

Honey, I tried that, bye…

[quote] "If you don't like it run against me!!"---------------um, whose gonna tell President Magoo the DNC blocked other candidates?

Biden is being disingenuous. It’s almost like Kim Jong Un saying it.

R65 = STFU....Trump is a convicted felon and Biden still ain't beating him. We are going to lose with Biden.

Yes R56, I understand there is a second debate scheduled. My point was his staff assumed he could get a win under his belt before the second debate in Sept. To say he under-performed in the first debate would be an understatement.

House dems come out of closed door meeting about Biden's nomination IN FULL SUPPORT OF THE PRESIDENT!!

[quote] House dems come out of closed door meeting about Biden's nomination IN FULL SUPPORT OF THE PRESIDENT!!

That why I said earlier it’s like a Kim Jong Un situation. There’s no way to replace Biden other than if he chooses to leave or dies. Everyone is forced to state their loyalty to the leader.

[quote] Among the most notable comments were those of veteran Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), who over the weekend on a private call with House party leaders expressed opposition to Biden being his party’s nominee, but who in public comments outside the meeting sang a different tune.

No one expected Nadler to have integrity and stick with his original assessment, did they?

They should have had this conversation a year ago. The candidate is Biden. Let's move forward now.

Democratic Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado tells Kaitlin Collins the Dems may lose the Senate, House and Presidency with Biden at the top of the ticket.
