Quick Take…Are they going to replace Biden?

Ever since Joe Biden’s senior moments were broadcast nationwide in the first Presidential Debate of 2024, everyone has been talking about replacing him as the Democratic nominee.

And I mean everyone.

Forbes, CNN, The Guardian, The New York Times, the BBC, the Evening Standard, Bloomberg, The Independent, The Economist, the New Yorker, Sky News, the Financial Times, Reuters, Politico, the Telegraph (the list goes on), all headlining some variant of…

Who could replace Joe Biden? Debate performance has Democrats in crisis talks

Of course, the weird thing here isn’t that Biden went senile, he does that all the time.

In 2019, before he was even “elected”, he was sucking on fingers and ambling around like a care home resident for all the world to see. He’s been like this everyday of his four years of Presidency.

The difference isn’t that Biden has suddenly gone senile, it’s that – for some reason – the media have decided to (finally) take notice.

Which means an agenda is in the offing.

But why?

They don’t need to replace him because he’s senile, as we already established he’s been senile this whole time. They don’t need to replace him to win the election either, because (whoever wins) the election will almost certainly be rigged.

The whole thing reeks of a set-up to be honest. They put him up on that stage knowing he could (and probably would) make a fool of himself so they could float replacing him.

With in 24 hours of the debate, The FT, the Guardian, Sky News, Politico, the Economist and the Specator had already published lists of possible replacements.

Popular names included California governor Gavin Newsom, Michelle Obama and good old Hillary (which would be hilarious).

There’s probably a lot of backroom negotiating over who gets to replace him right now, if that wasn’t decided months ago.

Or maybe it’s all psych-out and they stick Ridin’ with Biden.

Age discrimination!
People could criticise Biden for bombing more civilians overseas in 4 weeks than Trump did in 4 years.
People could mention Biden’s lawlessness in cutting the almost finished Russian gaspipe to EU.
People could criticise Biden’s continuation of US overseas regime change operations, or many other things.
But people choose the age discrimination yes? this does not tell a nice story of the media or the nasty public does it?

My money is on Newscum to replace Biden. He’s Jesuit trained and has the family pedigree (father a former judge and lawyer for the Getty family) that screams insider, trained, groomed and 100% manufactured.

He’ll likely replace Biden unless the controllers really want to humiliate the voters by fake electing Biden, for a second time. The results of voting don’t matter and are always rigged. The cryptocracy only need the public to participate in the farce because it’s psychological manipulation, mind control and ceding personal authority. The illusion of public participation/process is all that’s required.

One possibility is that Biden was loaded up on meds and they misjudged the doses or combinations with the results that were all too visible. This is the standard ‘cock-up’ position.

However two things suggest it won’t wash: 1) The reporting of the MSM – they are utterly shameless about saying black is white if required and yet they didn’t try to pass this off as “the greatest since JFK” or whatever. 2) The timing of the debate – it seems to have been the earliest ever which does indeed allow time for a replacement.

All this obscures somewhat the content of what was said. For example, there was a coherent and steadfast defence of what Israel has done in Gaza made… by Trump. It also obscures real world events – like another weekend of terrible violence in Chicago which again shows the designed futility of the standard response (everyone in Chicago’s relevant power structure is black and they are moving to instigate reparations for slavery – in Illinois! – but somehow this doesn’t stop gangs shooting at each other). The silence of the MSM here, relative to George Floyd, is telling which is not to say the MSM might not wake up to such issues with a weaponised response that involves an increase in federal power and further pushes for gun control.

If there is a replacement, it needs remembering that whoever it is couldn’t beat Biden in the primaries… much like Sunak couldn’t beat Truss.

It all looks designed to destroy any belief in “our democracy” – while maintaining “our democracy” is why we need to be fighting Russia. This sort of pummelling with flagrant contradictions is beginning to look like a familiar strategy.

Not everything that happens is meant to happen. If Biden is being replaced then it’s very much a plan B. Who would suggest doing so after the nominations?

My bet is that his dementia has progressed further and faster than they anticipated. They thought they could get him elected and then replace him. That now looks unlikely.

If they want to lose and cinch T as the Uniparty bad-cop prez, they’ll stick with B and throw the race. If they still want to look as though they do not want to lose, but do actually want to lose, they’ll pick anyone except B. If they actually want to win, they’ll pick Newsom. Newsom was a friend supported by Gorden Getty from an early age. He’s smart, he can talk and think on his feet with anyone, and would destroy T in debate, just as RFK Jr. would. If Dems were actually a Liberal Party, they’d have RFK Jr as their candidate. He still likes, apparently, Middle East war empire and shows beliefs in some elite myths, but even those aren’t enough for The Empire.

I do not care in the least who will become the next Resident. Whether senile or otherwise, they will have no decision making choice regarding the agenda of the global satanic predator class. Frankly though, I would prefer a photogenic farm animal. Perhaps a 36 year old mule born in Texas, thus complying with the Constitution which never stated that the president need be human. I cannot fail not to remember Russell Crowe’s famous line to the bloodthirsty thousands in their seats of the Coliseum after he bloodily dispatched several of his fellow slave/gladiators, “Are you not entertained?” My reply regarding the US presidential fiasco would be “vaguely, but somewhat like 7 day old road kill.”

Last week I commented that I would take 50/50 odds that there will be a false flag incident that would dwarf the impact of 9/11, and the selection will be “temporarily” postponed. After this well planned and orchestrated shitshow Thursday night, and the current very big panic among the Democrat party regulars, I would regard the odds to be substantially greater now. However, I feel that if Big Mike is nominated, its most profound statement in a debate would be to pull up its skirt and pull down its panties. A little truth in advertising. Any dyed in the wool woke Democrat should regard a non-debatable, truth in advertising of its trannyhood, should be both virtuous and advantageous.

PS: I do not regard referring to Big Mike as dehumanizing. In the English language, babies are often referred to with the preferred pronoun “it.”

It was a set up. Neither Biden nor Trump have been officially nominated by their parties, so why was the debate held so early? It was done so Biden who his handlers know is getting worse, could be seen as senile by the whole world and a movement could be launched to replace him. Will they succeed, time will tell.

“‘A deeply unfair and unequal country’: report warns of unprecedented far-right gains in UK”

So frets the Graud. They are quoting a “thinktank” called “he Fairness Foundation” whose priorities are revealed in this delightful example of bathos:

“We believe that this is not only morally wrong, but is causing deep damage to our society, economy and democracy, and undermining the fight against the climate crisis,”

Yes the “fight against the climate crisis” (the main cover for pushing inequality) is the true concern here.
“Failure to act now will make us less healthy, productive, efficient, resilient and cohesive.”

The mantra of capitalist bullshit since the dawn of the industrial revolution.

Pay attention to that stoking of the “far-right”. The use of that term to demonise dissent will accelerate. But the covid con showed the start of this manoeuvre: resistance to draconian clamp downs is labelled “Right wing” and “fascist” etc.

This is where that VP pick will come back to haunt them and if I were Trump and the republicans, I would play it up.

It appears to be about creating a credible election theft. The most amusing part of the whole “debate” charade was the apparent shock of the media pundits that ol’ Joe was impaired. The same people who have been covering for him for the last 3.5 years.

The whole election theft structure which was used in 2020 is still in place and has been reinforced with treatment of the “insurrectionists”. But even the must gullible and distracted citizen would doubt another win by Biden. It’s just impossible to believe that record numbers (that’s what it’s going to take) of people would choose a dementia case as the symbolic head of their nation.

With RFK stealing a “higher than expected percentage of independent voters from Trump” and “mail in ballots tipping 90% in Newsom’s favour” you have a media narrative that will be acceptable to the average citizen.

That being said, if Mr. Creepy was replaced wouldn’t “cackling Kamala” be his natural replacement. After all, how could the Dems save democracy and overlook a woman of color.😁

In 2020 when the national security state installed an unpopular
crook as president and an even more unpopular woman as vice president they probably never thought the 2024 presidential campaign would be such a farce.

But then again, the neoconservative warmongers are happy with either Trump or Biden, as the two dotards will continue the bloodbath in Ukraine and Gaza.

I have been very unimpressed with the Biden team, not just the individual who heads it. Foreign policy under Blinken seems to be totally out of touch, we seem to reel between misstep and disaster, and our economic policy seems to be just as disorganized. A lot of this could be blamed on Congress, especially the GoP, who appear to be more focused on scoring political points than actually getting any work done.

Even though they’re a bunch of dangerous incompetents I’d still vote for them over “the other lot”, though. Trump is barely more coherent than Biden — he babbles a lot but doesn’t really say anything — and he’s easily led around by anyone who understand flattery. He’s pretty awful but the people he enables are beyond the pale, dangerous to a fault.

So we’re stuck between a rock and a hard place. At this point I think that Putin would be our best choice for President. He has a good grasp of history, economics and world affairs and is obviously extremely smart and focused and has a background in practical politics. Too bad that he’s Russian and already has a job. People here in the US are too hyped up on our own exceptionalism for the most part to notice that by and large the global agenda is being set by people like Putin and Xi with our best shot being to just react to events (mostly rather lamely). Just branding these people as ‘dictators’ and trotting out tired, and increasingly unrealistic, cliches about freedom isn’t going to hack it any more. People expect results, not fiddling while Rome burns!

Hmm, is this an oblique defense of The Ghost of Joe Biden (Barely) Present? 

After all, Old Uncle Joe may be movin’ kinda slow– but he’s a notorious sniffer. 🤔 👃

Also when someone says seriously “if you don’t vote you don’t have a say”

We’ve long known that the electoral system is bankrupt. What’s different is that this is being shown prime time. Is this possibly a set up for a takeover by the armed forces and a government of “national unity”?

Doubtful, most of todays talented military are having difficulties tying their shoes, politics is out of the question, a sacrificial war perhaps, but that’s the top and even that would only be for a short while.

Yes, it’s weird. Biden just being Biden but suddenly everyone is saying he ‘can’t’ run. But then it’s a bit the same with our general election in the UK – media have been telling the public who is going to win, and how big, all year. Democracy doesn’t seem to come into it. If you say anything else beneath the line you get some creep trying to argue.

Or you just get banned. That’s what happened to the founders of The Off-Guardian over at the actual Guardian. And that’s why this fine website exists: because Kit and Catte and some other people decided that they would have their say somewhere on the internet — even if not at the Graun. So here we are, nearly a decade later. What a ride that’s been!
