    if you can't believe the NY Post, who CAN you trust?

    Top Dems threatened to forcibly remove Biden from office unless he resigned, set him up to fail at Trump debate: Sources

    https://nypost.com/2024/07/22/us-news/top-dems-threatened-to-remove-biden-unless-he-resigned/

    excerpt:

    Operatives at the very highest levels of the Democratic Party threatened Joe 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 seeking re-election has been in place for weeks, but stubborn Biden fought against it every step of the way, a source close to the Biden family told The Post Monday.

    The insider also made clear the anger, paranoia and frustration Biden displayed as the party elite circled around him and piled on the pressure.

    Part of the “elaborate” strategy to remove Biden from the race – as he announced in a shock letter posted on X Sunday – was allowing him to debate Republican candidate Donald Trump last month on live TV in Atlanta.

    During the car crash 90-minute debate, Biden appeared confused, slack-jawed and at one point he froze up, with his shocking performance turning the tide against him.

    “That debate was a set-up to convince Democrats that he couldn’t run for president,” a source close to the Biden family told The Post Monday.

    As calls for him to bow out mounted, Biden insisted he would continue, but party bigwigs threatened to invoke the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution.

    The amendment allows for the vice president and members of the cabinet to declare he is unfit to serve and force him to step down, the source added.

    The White House and representatives from the Democratic National Committee did not immediately respond to The Post’s requests for comment.

    ***
    “Hunter felt he [Joe Biden] was being set up and he was very concerned about his father,” the source said. “These people, these officials were not on Joe’s side.”
    sources close to the family . . . Hunter that big loud mouth!!

    If Trump loses in 2024, he will win the nomination yet again if he chooses to/is able to run in 2028. Would the RNC and MAGA ever pressure Trump to step away like the Dems did Biden?

    A lot of unfounded speculation here. First off the 25th Amendment isn't a solution to replacing a President that isn't actually incapacitated. For one they need a majority of the cabinet and it doesn't appear like any of Biden's cabinet secretaries were calling for him to withdraw. Second it is only temporary removal and after 21 days 2/3rds of Congress has to vote to determine if the President should be permanently removed. If the 25th was invoked even if a majority of the Cabinet voted for Biden to be removed Biden could easily counter by going to the press and insisting he was still capable and like impeachment it would be very difficult to get 2/3rds of both houses to vote to permanently remove. All of this would open a schism and damage the Democrats that would be very bad.

    Also that Biden the debate was a trap set up by Democrats who wanted to remove Biden? That seems highly improbable given that Biden himself issued the challenge to Trump.

    DNC tech support really knows how to use chatGPT

    all they need to do is insert a gaffe into their AI software, and people will be none the wiser on AI Biden

    I guess some allies are better than others.
    I do agree we should not fund that war.
    They have enough of our planes and Intel.
    They don't need us in this endeavor.
