Democrats forced Joe Biden out in a coup of sorts. I’m not complaining, because Biden epitomized “loose cannon”, and his leadership put America at risk.
Democrats now pin their hopes on Kamala Harris, who replaced Biden in the most undemocratic way possible. All of course to “save the democracy”.
Many names have been bandied about regarding the coup co-conspirators. One of my favorite videos is Pelosi being asked about Biden stepping down, as he had already declared he would continue his campaign.
Not exactly a bullish endorsement of Biden. P
I Googled “biden forced out”, and there are many stories to this effect. See for yourself.
I clicked on the last article, “Why Biden finally dropped out”.
For 23 days, President Joe Biden insisted on pushing forward with his reelection bid in the face of calls from Democratic lawmakers and donors for him to step aside.
And then, almost on a dime, things changed.
Early Saturday, Biden told senior aides it was “full steam ahead” for the campaign. But by later that evening, he had changed his mind following a long discussion with his two closest aides.
Biden was prepared to go all the way (off the cliff). Then just like that he was out. Biden knew not to rock the boat. Because he had seen it work the other way the morning after the 2020 Presidential Election, when the cabal decided to flip the switch that ensured Biden’s presidency.
But what I find most noteworthy is how Democrats pretend to have nothing but love for Biden. Listen to this drivel Nancy Pelosi threw up on 60 Minutes:
Nancy Pelosi, after helping to lead a coup to remove cognitively compromised Joe Biden from the Democrat ticket, denies her role and declares:
“He was at the top of his game, a Mount Rushmore kind of President.”

Leading up to the coup of Biden, Democrats described him as “sharp as a tack”. Many Democrats pretended to not recognize Biden’s obvious decline. And they hoped the public would pretend as well.
Ultimately after even the most tainted polls showed that Democrats would not even be able to cheat Biden into office, they implemented the unceremonious coup.
On 60 Minutes, Leslie Stahl asks Nancy Pelosi who gave the “Code Red”:
Transcript:
STAHL: Please tell us what you told President Biden to persuade him to step aside.
PELOSI: Well, I’ve never I’ve never shared any conversations with the president of the United States publicly. No.
Pelosi answered that question like a member of the cosa nostra. And the Democrats did to Biden what mobsters do. They pretended he would be a made-man, then his friend executed him, metaphorically.
STAHL: It said that he’s furious at you. Is he?
PELOSI: Well, he knows that I love him very much.
STAHL: I understand that you don’t want to own this. But it is so well reported, you know, that you were the leader of a pressure campaign.
PELOSI: No, I wasn’t leader of any pressure…well, let me say things that I didn’t do. I didn’t call one person. I did not call one person. I could always say to him, I never called anybody. What I’m saying is, I had confidence that the president would make the proper choice for our country, whatever that would be. And I said that whatever that is, we’ll go with.
STAHL: Had you seen a decline in Joe Biden, and did you think he needed to step aside?
PELOSI: No. My whole point was whatever he decides. But we have to have a more aggressive campaign.
STAHL: She mentioned his many accomplishments, including his forceful leadership of the NATO summit with other Western heads of state.
PELOSI: So he was in a good place to make whatever decision, top of his game. Such a consequential president of the United States, a mount Rushmore kind of president of the United States. I want to know what comes next.
STAHL: You think that he belongs up there on Mount Rushmore. Lincoln and Joe Biden.
PELOSI: But you got Teddy Roosevelt up there, and he’s wonderful. I don’t say take him down, but you can add Biden.
Even Leslie Stahl couldn’t help but laugh at Pelosi’s Mount Rushmore comment.
You don’t put people on Mount Rushmore when you whack ’em. And with Biden’s record, he’s lucky to have not been whacked much earlier. And now Democrats must try to push a worse candidate over the finish line. Or as I’ve predicted, focus down-ticket.
