The plan to remove Biden is well underway [View all]

and about to reach critical mass. Think about what’s going on here, the MSM continues the assault then creates new content by seeking commentary from Democrats. Once they get something that can be turned into a juicy sound bite, they go to the next Democrat with “Do you join Tim Ryan (or fill in the blank with the next weak Democrat) in demanding that Biden be replaced”? They are pushing the story and the Democrats (some), of course, give them exactly what they want.

Because of one debate performance. Not his stellar 3.5 year record, one debate performance. And no, we can’t have a unicorn.

I don’t need to tell you about the years of unhinged behavior from TFC. We know about it, but no one else seems to because the media has ignored each and every nefarious, criminal, treasonous, unhinged episode from TFC. And even when there’s the tiniest mention of anything afoot, a choir of support rains down from Republicans and the media, putting those who question anything in their place. Heck, he even had prominent journalists pushing info for him!

Silly us. Biden had a bad debate performance! He has to go! /sarcasm

The MSM is almost at the finish line, picking up Dems along the way. And when the Dems install their candidate, every democrat will get in line and vote for them! Right?!?! Won’t they? You don’t think anyone will protest and sit this out because of what was done to Joe, do you?

That would be really scary that pushing Joe out would have the unintended consequences of causing voters to those their faith in the party. I guess that’s the risk some are willing to take.

Seems dangerous to me.
