“ “ However, the Post failed to note that Vice President Kamala Harris was part of that inner circle. Indeed, she has been touting her close work with Biden in her campaign.

There is little recognition that, if true, it means that Harris, the White House, and leading Democrats lied to the public about Biden’s mental decline for their own political interests.”https://jonathanturley.org/2024/08/25/how-democrat...?

Good morning this is how I see it. IF Harris wins, we get 8 years of Harris. That shuts out the rest of the potential Dem presidents for another 8 years. IF Trump wins, in 2028 we will have a robust competition for the Dem nomination in 2028. Wes Moore and the others who were, supposedly, on the short list to be VP will be able to compete for the presidential nomination. IF Trump wins, Vance will be aggressively challenged for the republican nomination by Haley, Rubio, DeSantis and at least 5 others in 2028. Which do you suppose 50 % of the voters would prefer? RFK wants to go after the Food Industry and childhood health issues, that's bad? RFK wants to go after social media censorship, that's bad? RFK wants to investigate Big pharma , drug pricing, safety , efficacy, and transparency, are you OK with that? The Dem party had no use for RFK and his issues? Can RFK stay focused? Will Harris ever do a 30 minute Q and A and actually answer a question? If trump wins hopefully his cabinet will control him and he can man up and serve with distinction. Who knows, perhaps Jamie Dimon will decide to serve his country and speak up. IF, huge IF, Dimon comes out today and states, the Harris talking heads are proposing such dangerous economic nonsense if trump asks me to join his cabinet, I will serve my country. IF, trump goes off tilt while I'm serving , I will resign with 48 hours notice, period. I Had A Dream, let's see if American voters can decide which option suc$ks less, 4 years of Trump or 8 years of Harris, which is the American way, which option suc$ks less? Stay healthy kids, your bud from Da Brooklyn Hood, hc.

Ah, the old "if true" gambit.

FBI Director Christopher Wray was pointedly asked about the "cognitive decline" of president Biden and when he first noticed it. Wray, under oath, said he had never noticed a cognitive decline.

GAETZ: "When did you notice his decline/"

WRAY: "In all my interactions in my role, all my interactions have been completely professional.

GAETZ: "Right, but the cognitive decline. But maybe not picking up things as quickly as he used to?

WRAY: "Again, I don't meet with him very often. What you're describing is not something I've observed during my interactions."


Sorry, Turley's dog don't hunt. It's simply not true.

Now if you want to maintain that president Biden's candidacy became untenable by many in the democratic party after his debate performance, well, okay, no argument there.

well bud, can that, lie, be prosecuted? Is he a doctor? If you saw no decline in Bidens health that might help to explain why you insisted, I was wrong, and that Joe would be the Dem nominee. That's fine, however, IF Joe had agreed not to run 9 months ago the Dem party could have respected the completive process to nominate the party's candidate. Unfortunately, that never happened.

And that's water under the bridge as we are fielding a primaried candidate who is doing very well in the polls, so the "We the People of the United States of America..." part is fulfilled. Try as you must to de-legitimize her, she's legit. It looks like you'll have to come up with another line of attack because that dog don't hunt.

They did, but the candidate who was on the ballot decided to withdraw, having the same effect as if he had died or been otherwise incapacitated.

So the convention delegates chose a different candidate, as convention delegates have been doing since the first political convention in the US in 1831, and the bylaws of the Democratic Party make that the final say on who is the party’s nominee.

For the record, it’s possible that no candidate would secure enough delegates on the first ballot, at which time the delegates are then free to vote for different candidates (if they choose) to eventually come up with an official nominee.

That’s what happened. Case closed.

I understand that you don’t like that Joe was pressured to withdraw. He did so voluntarily, and could have stayed in if he so chose. Get over it.

LOLOLOL at this thread.
Anyone with 2 eyes could see Biden's cognitive decline, beginning when he ran for President in 2020. He clearly wasn't the same guy.

left wingers here lied their rear ends off for 4 years. The White House lied. Harris lied. Congressional democrats lied. The media lied. Everyone lied because they didn't want to admit the truth: Joe Biden was a husk of the guy he used to be.

Wray's responses were hedged and he didn't directly answer the question...just as you'd expect a swamp creature to act.

Remember, liberals lie to themselves before they lie to everyone else. It's why they can so easily re-write history because to them, the lie is the truth of the matter.

I said back on the Fool that the left was waging war on objective truth, and that once they'd succeeded in removing common definitions for things anything would go. Well, here we are.

Dope1: Wray's responses were hedged and he didn't directly answer the question...just as you'd expect a swamp creature to act.

So Trump's hand-picked FBI Director, a lifelong republican, is a "swamp creature"?

Wray was specific. Here's the detailed exchange:

GAETZ: "Since you are the FBI Director, I was wondering, like, who's running the country? If something bad happened, he would have to go brief the president right now, God forbid.

WRAY: "On any number of occasions, I have briefed the president and those briefings have all been uneventful and unremarkable."

GAETZ: "I can imagine them being uneventful in the work with the vice president. You said more than half the time she's there?"

WRAY: "I don't think I said more than half the time. There have been times when she is present and other times she is not."

GAETZ: "This is the most complicated threat environment you've observed over your career of law enforcement and I'm kind of wondering with this assassination attempt and the invasion at the border, and Hamas that has been let in and been briefed about is Joe Biden up to it? And if he's not up to it and you are the guy who is regularly briefing him, like who has been in on this conspiracy to hide the real Joe Biden from all of us for years? It never occurred to you that he was not up to it and all these briefings that you did?"

WRAY: "My briefings with the president have all been fine."

Dude, you're in a cult. You want to see diminished capacity? Compare DonOLD now with DonOLD four years ago.

Yes, he is. Why is this so tough for you?

You're trying too hard. Let me help you:

WRAY: "On any number of occasions, I have briefed the president and those briefings have all been uneventful and unremarkable."

This says nothing about Biden's brain. Maybe it's the norm for Biden to just sit there. BTW, did he mention the time these briefings were?

Also, don't shoot the puck into your own net:
WRAY: "I don't think I said more than half the time. There have been times when she is present and other times she is not."

So Harris misses her FBI briefings. Awesome!



Dude, you're in

Dude, you're a badly programmed chat bot that repeats itself like a 9-year old who wants attention at the adult party.

Uh, no. Sometimes she’s traveling, or in Congress to cast a tie breaking vote, or somewhere else on official business. Is it your position that there should be no FBI briefings of the President unless the Vice President is also able to attend?

Of possibly could there be a separate briefing for that person later? You think Pence was in the room for every FBI briefing?

Good god, man, get a grip. I’m beginning to think you belong in the same rubber room with RFK Jr.

Uh, no.

Evidently according to Wray's sworn testimony she does.
Hey, he said it, not me.

Good god, man, get a grip.

Learn to debate. Or don't. You haven't in...20 years? You'd think osmosis would have given you some amount of skill by now.

Gaetz is such an effing tool.
