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.

What the big question is why doesn't the media have his back anymore? 

#immadoctor to the rescue!

David Letterman will headline a fundraiser with President Joe Biden in 10 days with Hawaii Gov. Josh Green, a sign that his campaign is forging ahead despite continued calls for the president to bow out of the 2024 race.

The fundraiser on July 29 will be at the home of a family friend on Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, Green told The Associated Press Friday. It will feature the longtime late-night host, plus Biden and first lady Jill Biden. The campaign has at least 10 other fundraising events over the last 10 days of July.

Letterman helmed CBS' “Late Show” for 22 seasons. The event comes as other celebrities like George Clooney, director Rob Reiner and Stephen King have called on Biden to drop out of the 2024 race, following his disastrous debate performance on June 27. There’s also been growing concern over continued fundraising support after anxious donors expressed serious worries about his performance and the future of the party.

What the big question is why doesn't the media have his back anymore?

Two words:  Debate performance.

It's no longer possible to spin the narrative and gaslight the public on Biden's fitness for office.  The media is now pretending they just figured this out, though not much has changed in the last 3 years.

By keeping a lid on Biden, the narrative is all we got.  Now that the truth is obvious, they have no choice but to report the truth.

Same reason Democrats in Congress suddenly crawled out from under their rocks and are calling for Biden to drop out of the race -- some even calling for his immediate resignation.

The longer he's propped up, the worse it'll be when he finally does step down.

Lying has become the new truth.

I was going to start a thread about this but I decided, nah.

Anyway, ever noticed out there in social media land, especially YooToob, that there are tons of "The truth about"......videos permeating the airwaves?

Everything from "The truth about Bruce Lee's Death" to the "Truth about Statins" to the "Truth about Dear Abby".   You get the picture.

There's so much of this crap going around you can't help but think everyone that posted on the airwaves were lying the past 50 to 60 years.

Yep.  Lying has become the new truth.

It's nothing new.  Ever watch Mr. Smith Goes to Washington with Jimmy Stewart?  The political machine at every level controls the media in their districts at least to some degree.

The Internet is a high-speed delivery system, throwing what would have been tons of news print at us on a daily basis.  The garbage is figuratively piling up higher and faster than it used to before the digital age.

No matter what you learned from Men in Black, The National Enquirer is NOT where the "real truth" is printed.  Just one example of how this is not a new problem.

Fun fact: The National Enquirer was founded in 1926.

now they're talking about Hillary as the stand-in.

well, it changes every day.  I guess they have to rotate through all the aspirant hopefuls, to see which one sticks to the wall the best?

Donald Trump was unavailable for comment.

He couldn't stop laughing long enough to give one.

 

When in doubt tap out 

Biden is out.

Time to breakout the popcorn and watch the Democrats destroy each other.  All the front runners want to push out Kamala as no one aspires to be VP, then there will be the anti black backlash.

Going to affect down ballots here too as there's no Governors race this year.  Get a couple more Republicans in the legislature.

 

And Greens has to cancel hosting the Biden fundraiser.  Wonder if he was trying to gain favor from him for something.

Now the jockeying for position begins.

I imagine the party will pick whomever they want to run regardless of the will of the voters.

Democracy in action.

By endorsing Harris, Biden has given her a substantial leg up in what could have been
an otherwise wide-open nomination process that would allow delegates for Biden to vote
for whoever they please at next month's Democratic National Convention.

Oh, boy ...

The long range game plan is coming to fruition? 

Maybe sooner.  By 4 years.

If the Dims win in November, will the Republicans play nice?

When you scour what's out there on social media, Yoo Boob, etc.  it doesn't seem like it.

Would love to hear what those 81 million voters have to say about this.

DNC right now

Biden fast tracked at least 8 million illegals to get citizenship before September.
I'm going to take a wild guess at who is in the VP bucket...names synonymous with money..

How does the other side put the brakes on a devastating news cycle that benefits their political opponent?

Throw their own candidate under bus, thereby stealing the spotlight.

Biden was going to drop out all along.  His handlers were waiting for the most advantageous time to make the announcement.

it was always going to be after the primaries so the voters had no say in who the nominee would be.

That is all.
