What did you know, and when did you know it?
« on: July 04, 2024, 03:11:16 PM »
There's a rumor being circulated by some folks with inside knowledge (like Tom Fitton CEO of Judicial Watch) saying Uncle Joe Biden will be resigning from office next week.

It makes sense, because that provides Harris the title of first WOC to become president, and she can avoid campaign appearances by claiming she needs to now run the country.  That assumes she gets the nomination, which is a good bet.

The kicker is, the House (GOP majority) would have the duty and opportunity to investigate what Harris and the WH staff knew about Joe's mental decline, how long has this been apparent, and why wait until now to resign?  Of course, that sort of depends on the reasons Biden cites for stepping down.  but it does beg the question: he didn't just suddenly lose his faculties.  There's been evidence of it since the 2020 campaign when he hid in the basement instead of going on the campaign trail.  After almost 4 years, why step down now in the home stretch of his reelection?

The timing of next week also makes sense because the Democrat National convention is coming up.  No matter who they nominate other than Biden, the party will be taking the process out of the hands of the states' delegates and nominating whoever they want with no primaries.

It's very possible they planned all of this in advance, which might explain why they decided to hold the debate so late in the year as well as the convention being scheduled after the debate.  On top of that, the concention was scheduled knowing it would not meet the deadlines for listing the nominees on the ballots for Nov.

There are so many things the Dems did wrong in the way they scheduled this election's milestones, one could be forgiven for believing this is an actual conspiracy to game the election in order to allow Biden a way to bow out so late in the year.

Okay, I stand corrected.  That's what I get for watching YouTube after 8PM.

So the debate was not late this year, but the fact that the debate was held ahead of the convention still seems like a calculated decision.

The presidential debate is supposed to be between the parties' nominees.  Until the convention, Biden is the presumptive nominee.  It's not official, and given the scuttlebutt that Biden may not be the official nominee, it begs the question whether or not his replacement will debate Trump before the election.

My gut tells me it's all part of their plan.  Let Biden fall on his face at the debate, then replace him with someone who isn't going to debate Trump at all.

You can't say they didn't participate in the debate.  They just had a substitution in the final inning.  Nothing wrong with that, right?

This is what I was thinking also.  The dems wanted this debate.  They pushed for this debate.  And my conspiracy theory radar went off and continue to go off.

I always suspected biden was being strung along since 2020.  Poor guy was a puppet president from the get-go.  Add that to the recent debate and the hoopla after and you get "uh oh......"
