The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Except that's not true. Biden made the choice.

Biden "made the choice" in the same way that relatives of kidnapping victims "made the choice" to pay the ransom.

CLEARLY Pelosi told him during their call what time it was and exactly what would happen if Joe stayed in the race.

The Politico article spells this out. The NYT article - after years of denying there's an issue with Hunter at all from them - was a part of the "or else".

Pelosi has repeatedly said in recent interviews — mainly to promote her new book titled “The Art of Power” — that she didn’t call anyone but the president in the three weeks prior to Biden’s departure from the race. However, Pelosi took calls from rank-and-file Democrats who sought her advice in the days following Biden’s debate performance and before he dropped out of the race, multiple people familiar with her conversations told POLITICO at the time.

Kings and Queens never call anybody else. Everybody else calls them. Barack Brutus Obama's fingerprints aren't on the knife, either.
nypost.com - Top dems threatened to remove biden unless he resigned

Operatives at the very highest levels of the Democratic Party threatened President Biden with forcibly removing him from office unless he stepped down, sources told The Post.

The well-orchestrated “palace coup” to stop the faltering president from seeking re-election had been in place for weeks, but stubborn Biden fought it every step of the way, a source close to the Biden family told The Post on Monday.


I told you months ago that the people who really run the democrat party would step in, and they did.
