Well, well.   



Democratic donors freeze $90m in donations
as long as Biden is at top of the tickethttps://tinyurl.com/2nwyjysz

What's really screwed up is Biden would have to reject the nomination.  He's already gotten the majority of delegates' votes promised to him via the states' primaries.  So, unless they change their own rules (like they have done before), the DNC can't really give those delegates to another nominee no matter how much money is being put on hold.

It's getting messier.  I love it!   

What's more alarming is that these types of people with this much money only think that Brandon has been like this recently. These are the people that control information, social media, corporations, etc...

I have a different take.  These people only care about having access to power.  They'll help elect anyone they think can get elected and from which they can benefit.

They knew full well Biden was a few knives short of a complete set. (i.e. not that sharp)  But as long as he had the best chance of winning, they backed him.

After the debate, they now have doubts about him winning.  They fully understand his mental state, but that's not the priority.  Winning is.

So, if Harris had a good chance to beat Trump, I guarantee you the powers behind the party would already be pushing her to act under the 25th Amendment.

It's not that they just now found out Joe is close to doing his James Brady impression, it's that they already knew but are just now realizing the secret is out in full force.

Oh sh*t, the public knows.......GO TO PLAN B!!!

Oh wait, that means kamala.  Never mind, go to PLAN C!!!

What??!!  There's no PLAN C??

DAMMIT, THEN MAKE ONE!!!!!

'They so rarely see him': Biden’s White House
hasn’t had a full cabinet meeting in 9 months

A new report reveals a stunning detail into the opaque nature of President
Joe Biden's White House: Even his own cabinet secretaries admit to hardly
ever seeing him.

CNN reported Thursday on how even the president's most stalwart supporters
and major donors are worried about his apparent decline. Two unnamed
sources "with direct knowledge" of Biden's interactions with his cabinet
secretaries told the network that the 81 year-old is effectively "stage-managed"
by his inner circle, and that meetings with the president and his full cabinet are
rare and infrequent.

"The entire display is kind of an act," one source said. :They would come and say,
'Hey, the president is going to call on you about 25 minutes in, and ask this question.
What are the bullet points you’ll respond with?'"

When The Young Turks are no longer drinking the Kool Aid,
you know the wheels have fallen off the bandwagon.

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/musk-plans-commit-around-45-million-month-new-pro-trump-super-pac-wsj-reports-2024-07-16/

Billionaire Elon Musk has said he plans to commit around $45 million a month to a new pro-Trump super political-action committee, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Musk had indicated that he planned to start his donations in July to the America PAC, backing former President Donald Trump's presidential run, the newspaper said. However, the South Africa-born businessman was not listed on a Monday filing by the group, which shows that it has raised more than $8 million.

He's also giving money to Mark Wahlberg and Mel Gibson to get the Vegas production going. My guess is that he wants to make Vegas the new Hollywood, thus screwing CA. That's the onlything generating revenue for them. Tesla was the last of the auto manufacturers to leave CA.

Jack Black cancelled the remaining concerts scheduled on their current tour after a Tenacious D band member made a "joke" about the assassination attempt on President Trump.

Footage posted on social media from the band’s concert in Sydney on Sunday
showed Black presenting Gass with a birthday cake onstage and telling him to
“make a wish.”

Gass responded: “Don’t miss Trump next time.”

Gass apologized for the comment in a post on Instagram on Tuesday.

“The line I improvised onstage Sunday night in Sydney was highly inappropriate,
dangerous and a terrible mistake. I don’t condone violence of any kind, in any
form, against anyone,” wrote Gass.

“What happened was a tragedy, and I’m incredibly sorry for my severe lack of
judgement. I profoundly apologize to those I’ve let down and truly regret any pain
I’ve caused.”

Gass has since been dropped by his Hollywood talent representative. His agent,
Michael Greene of Greene Talent, told CNN that he has parted ways with Gass,
but he did not provide additional comment.

People sometimes use humor to cope with tragedy, but in this case, he simply publicized his true feelings about President Trump.

People don't make these kinds of "jokes" about people they respect or admire.

Leftist tolerance on full display.

He's only sorry because it didn't go the way he planned. He doesn't realize that there are more Trump/conservative supporters than the media wants people to know there are.  The loudest aren't the majority.

I think Tim Pool might have the right take on this.

Black probably went to him and asked that he apologize.  Gass refused.  That left Black with the business decision to continue the tour under what was sure to be backlash from the joke, or cancel the tour as a formal apology on behalf of the band as an organization.

Only after the cancelations did Gass decide to apologize. 

Those canceled concerts represented a sizable chunk of cash in his and every band members' pockets.  Guess who everyone is going to blame, including the road crews who are now out of work?

It took a decision of this magnitude to make him realize he really did F**K up.

Tim Pool has heard another story about Jack Black's tour cancellation. 

The rumor is, the insurance company said if your band makes statements like this, we cannot cover you.  i assume they are looking at the possibility of lawsuits or criminal charges of inciting violence.  Since they are traveling outside the US where there are no free speech protections, you never know who might decide they stepped over the line.

Then the venues tell them, "no insurance coverage, no venue."

So it's conceivable they canceled the tour out of necessity, not as a business decision at all.

Makes total sense.

Same math required.

there's the signal flare, Biden supposedly came down with the COVID.  note: no mask when boarding the airplane.  yeah, COVID, contagious.  but just mild symptoms, "tested" positive.

Previously, he said he'd only bow out on medical conditions, well, Ladies & Gentlemen, there's the start signal for his "bow out" process.  We got the medical condition.  It signals that the Dem powers-that-be have made a generous financial offer, an "offer he can't refuse", and Jill Biden has deemed the offer to be sufficient and acceptable.  just a question of whether it's how-many millions $$$, or billions $$$ the buy-out is, the golden parachute to pay off the Biden Crime Syndicate.

JoePedo will start his beach vacation self-isolation quarantine, at the end of which, (my guess) it will be announced that he's decided to not seek the nomination at the DNC.  Kamala will graciously accept, will deliver her characteristic word salad, "unburdened by what has been", to signal a new era.  and away we go on the magic carpet ride of fantastic fairy tales and horror stories.

AOC will deliver her typical fire-brand speech filled with hyperbole misrepresentations, gross exaggerations, to a cheering crowd of blue-haired libtards, LGBTQ fruits, nuts, dykes, twinks and fairies, and welfare queens.  Robert Deniro will be On Fire Yo!  Jill Biden will speak rabidly for lettuce-head Joe Biden, who may or may not be present.  unless she's been paid to STFO, then it would be a conspicuous absence.

People who make money on other people, should refrain from political statements.  Because you can alienate 1 side of your audience.  I mean, Jack has the money to do what ever he wants, I doubt the rest of the band does.  This is just business 101.

biden should bow out on his own.  He would gain more admiration and respect than if he would continue to insist he can do the job.  But I guess 40+ years of greed and self interest is hard to overcome.

Knowing when to say when is an admirable characteristic.  I wonder if he understands what that even is.

And this covid thing he has.  Not sure if true or not.  This guy bullsh*ts so much it's hard to believe anything he says or anything his handlers say.  This administration is just one big shibai.

The weeds are overgrown and getting out of control.  But gotta start somewhere.  November would be a good start.

So convenient for Biden to get COVID at this specific moment.

Keeps him from having to talk to the press regarding the Secret Service debacle.  He tried to get out in front of it, but the facts trickling in regarding Secret Service and other LEO failures are making it unlikely Biden can handle the criticism.

Creates a viable excuse for canceling campaign events.

Fewer campaign events becomes an automatic excuse for why he will have lost the election.  "Trump was campaigning, but I was involuntarily isolated."

Prevents further scrutiny of his mental decline leading up to the election.  Just like 2020, he was locked in the basement rather than engaging the public. 

Better to remain silent and be thought incompetent than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.

Now it looks like the folks pushing to have Biden be the nominee are once again circumventing the process.

Basically, the Ohio legislature has the same deadlines every election year to make sure ballots are made up and printed ahead of the midterm and general elections.

The DNC made the conscious decision to schedule their convention after Ohio's deadline, making it impossible for Biden's name to be on the November ballot in Ohio.

in order to accommodate the late convention schedule, Ohio lawmakers passed a change to the law to allow Biden to be on the ballot.

So, even though the DNC's scheduling is the cause for this problem, somehow they claim the Republican-run state of Ohio is up to "dirty tricks?"

 

If the DNC had followed the fricking laws and met the deadlines they were well aware of, none of this would have become an issue. 

Dirty tricks?  Without ballot counting dirty tricks, Biden would not have been elected in the first place.

Democrats plan to formally nominate Biden
in early August, ahead of convention

Democrats plan to formally renominate President Joe Biden in a virtual roll call
vote during the first week of August, before the party’s national convention, despite
protests from some Democrats who want more time for the party to consider
alternative nominees.

The plan was formally announced in a letter to Democratic National Committee
members sent Wednesday morning, which comes after weeks of internal struggle
about whether to stick with Biden after a weak debate performance.

Parties typically nominate their presidential standard bearers during live roll call
votes at their national conventions, which are often a highlight of the events. But
Democrats have been planning for the unusual pre-convention virtual roll call to
avoid potential litigation in Ohio, they say.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the co-chair of the Democratic National Convention’s
Rules Committee, told reporters Wednesday that the early nomination has nothing
to do with Biden's debate performance last month or doubts about his ability to
defeat former President Donald Trump.

“This meeting was scheduled for many months, the one on Friday, and it was never
meant to be the virtual roll call. It will be setting out the agenda as the Rules Committee
moving forward,” Walz said, referring to the committee's upcoming first meeting.

Virtual voting will not start until after Aug. 1, Walz said, and will need to be concluded
by Aug. 7 to avoid potential legal issues under an Ohio law that set that date as the
deadline for parties to submit candidates' names for the November ballot.

Ohio officials, however, say the deadline issue has already been fixed, thanks to
legislation passed earlier this summer.

“The issue is resolved in Ohio, and Democrat proxies know that and should stop trying
to scapegoat Ohio for their own party’s dysfunction,” said Ben Kindel, a spokesperson
for Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose, a Republican.

But Democrats say they do not trust the Republicans who run Ohio to follow through.
They're worried about last-minute dirty tricks to try to kick Biden off the ballot. LaRose
seemed unwilling to bend when the deadline was first raised as an issue, and has a
track record of being aggressive in disputes with Democrats.

The Ohio law amending the deadline will not go into effect until Sept. 1. So the original
Aug. 7 deadline will still be on the books when that date comes and goes, providing a
potential opening for litigation.

Biden-allied Democrats note Ohio’s secretary of state previously said the issue needed
to be resolved by early May in order for him to be able to put Biden’s name on the ballot,
but the Legislature did not ultimately pass the legislation until late May.

"We believe a virtual element is the wisest approach because it ensures ballot access ...
and avoids potential risks if there is delay in the process," Walz and his Rules Committee
co-chair, Bishop Leah Daughtry, wrote in the letter to DNC members.
