Joe Biden: ‘I’m Not Leaving’
” I’m in this race to the end, and we’re going to win.”
President Joe Biden declared on an all-hands call with his campaign:
“Let me say this as clearly as I possibly can, as simply and straightforward as I can: I am running,” according to one campaign official on the call.
“No one is pushing me out,” the president added, also saying, “I’m not leaving. I’m in this race to the end, and we’re going to win.”
Biden also pushed for Democrats to show a united front because “when Democrats unite, we will always win. Just as we beat Donald Trump in 2020, w’re going to beat him again in 2024.”
It’s important to note that former President Donald Trump has been mostly quiet during this time, allowing the media and commentators to keep their attention on Biden’s implosion.
You know it’s driving them crazy that Trump is sitting back and watching the show.
Harris also told the staffers: “We will not back down. We will follow our president’s lead. We will fight, and we will win.”

There will likely be a move at the convention. Especially is SlowJoe continues to look like a propped up corpse. Gavin and Harris can try to steal as many delegates as they can. Hopefully it will be a 3-day popcorn moment.
Harris doesn’t have to steal anything — she’s on the ticket. If, God forbid, Biden wins, 25A would be invoked at some point, guaranteed.
Joe Biden: “I’m not leaving.”
Reporter: “Why is he still saying that?”
Biden handler: “Because we haven’t told him yet.”
Stay in, Joe, stay in.
For the love of Beau, stay in. Remember, that’s what Beau would have wanted. When Beau died leading those Merchant Marines up Pork Chop Hill at Anzio during the Vietnam War wearing his Kilroy Was Here bandana, he yelled out, “Democrats forever.” The thing, Joe, the thing. Don’t forget the thing.
If that’s the case then I hope he takes the entire Democrat Party down with him.
If the polling numbers are to be believed (and I think in the aggregate they are more right than not) expect a “radical right wing” government here as well as abroad.
I for one am sick of this (bleep) and want my country back. I’m tired of identity politics, tired of woke, tired of progressivism, tired of illegal immigration, tired of gender dysfunction, tired of leaches and parasites and a thousand other things associated with liberalism.
If DJT does to the federal payroll what Elon Musk did to X, I think that would be a good start. I don’t think we’d miss them one bit.
If DJT closed the DOE, EPA, DOE, FBI and (insert your favorite here) and returned those functions to the states, I see that as a huge win for federalism.
If DJT is elected, it opens the door for Thomas & Alito to retire (they richly deserve the rest) and for him to appoint unabashed constitutionalist to the court. And I believe the number of justices leaving the court in the next four years to be more than two.
While I’m on a roll, let’s mount an effort to repeal the 16th Amendment – the progressives biggest lie of them all. The 16th has been weaponized to impoverish us, to rob us of our labor, to pit us against one another – taxpayer vs. parasite. When funding a government *everyone* should pay.
Thank you for listening and FJB.
then I hope he takes the entire Democrat Party down with him.
Even if he doesn’t, I hope the entire party goes down with him. In flames.
“If DJT closed the DOE, EPA, DOE, FBI and (insert your favorite here)”
Mmmm, can we guess which one is your favorite?
“If DJT is elected, it opens the door… for him to appoint unabashed constitutionalist to the court.”
Presuming he can find one who isn’t a backstabber in a rubber conservative mask.
If you’re under the impression that repealing the 16th would get rid of the income tax, you’re mistaken. The 16th was never necessary in order for Congress to tax income from labor. It was only needed in order for it to tax income derived from property, i.e. rents, interest, and dividends, and perhaps capital gains.
The Supreme Court at that time ruled that “direct taxation” means taxing something for merely existing; Congress can only impose direct taxation if it’s apportioned among the states by population, and nobody seems to know what that means, except with regard to a poll tax, which of course is already apportioned by definition. But Congress could always tax activities such as working.
So if the 16th were repealed, at most rents, interest, dividends, etc. would be tax free, but the bulk of the income tax would remain. And I don’t think the current supreme court would agree with the previous decision. I think the current court would say that’s not direct taxation, and allow the tax to continue.
Now if you were to pass an amendment banning any federal income tax, that would be different.
I need to stock up on my popcorn. As I see it, they have these choices:
1) keep Biden and remove him (dead or 26-him) after the inauguration
2) Amendment 26 Biden leaving them with Harris (see #1)
3) that leaves Harris as the nominee/president. Who has a lower approval rating than Trump or Biden
BUT THEY CANNOT get rid of Harris. She hits all the top intersectional victim boxes except gay/transgender/Muslim. But she is black and a woman, so that beats about everything white or male.
if they try to oust Harris for Newsom or Gretchen or Bernie or Hillary, there will be claims of racism and/or sexism. Only possible exception is Michelle. And as popular as she is as a first lady (not me, blech), I do not think she would win an election. She would lose the young people vote once they were reminded of the school lunch fiasco she oversaw.
There is no winning for them with any other nominee than Biden. And there is no winning with him.
But the infighting will be Colosseum-level entertainment.
25th Amendment.
Joe has to agree to that unless there is a vote of congress. Do you think that congress will be able to do that?
Congress will be able to.
It’s whether or not they want to.
(And my point was that he had the Amendment wrong. 26th is setting the voting age to 18.)
yeah. sorry. I should know the Constitution better than that; my kids certainly do!
It shouldn’t. It takes a 2/3 vote in each house, which means it can’t happen without the Republicans, and if I were the Congressional Republicans I would vote to keep Biden and tell the Democrats “He’s your president, you chose him, you imposed him on us, now you go down with him”.
Doesn’t this tell you everything you need to know about modern American politics?
To punish Republicans, Democrats inpeach their president.
To punish Democrats, Republicans refuse to impeach theirs.
Also, Michelle most assuredly does not want to run. It’s too much like work, she seems very happy with money and prestige right where she is, and everyone would assume Barry is running the show behind her – that would hurt her pride.
I can see a couple of options where they could get within the margin of fraud with a replacement. But definitely an uphill battle, no matter what, because of what Joey’s handlers have done to us and the country.
Michelle will never run. She said it’s not in her soul. That’s a poison pill that can’t be walked-back.
Democrats have shown just how cheap fake they are.
There is nothing they say anymore that is believeable.
And their performance art sucks, too.
With Biden at the top of the ticket, Maine, Minnesota & Virginia are now battleground states. NJ, CO and NM, which Biden won by 10-points (or more) are now only’lean’ Dem also heading towards toss-ups. Joe Biden isn’t going to be the nominee because Republicans have never – could never – be that lucky.
There are always ways for the Deep Democratic Party to persuade Joe to exit the race.
What was it that Webb Hubbell said to Hillary*?
Over my dead body…
*”Allegedly”
IMO the d/prog have only two viable options. Neither wins them the ’24 election cycle but either can conceivably keep the d/prog party from imploding.
1. Keep Biden. Double down. Brazen it out. This has been the historical ‘go to’ play in the d/prog playbook. They are very comfortable with this and have great experience with running this play. They lose the election BUT the party probably doesn’t implode into warfare among the various tribes/factions. Delays the infighting and recriminations until after the election.
2. Replace Biden by using the 25th Amendment and replace him on the ticket with Harris. Jim Clyburn and his faction have made very clear they will not accept anyone else as replacement. Again, short term they lose the election BUT it delays recriminations and infighting till after the election AND demonstrates Harris is not the ‘future’ of the party + gives a valid excuse to tell Clyburn and his faction to STFU ‘y’all had your chance and fumbled’.
IMO those are the only two options that keep the d/prog rickety coalition of various tribal factions together and moving in the same direction. It’s always possible they have chaos in Chicago at the August nominating convention (or more accurately in the prelude to that in July where the real decisions will be made) but ….I don’t see it. I suspect they will use taped (and edited) interviews like the one upcoming on Friday as well as putting Biden at the podium w/o any Q/A like they did for him blasting SCOTUS. That’s the ’24 version of the basement campaign. I strongly believe Biden is gonna be the nominee based on history and the real problems they create if they try and change horses. We all find out this fall.
Meanwhile, RFK Jr. has pwned every inch of ad space on LI.
I never thought I’d miss the annoying Doggie Chuckle Ball.
I like the one where they compare seniors to lizards regrowing their tail.
But I don’t see any RFK Jr ads.
Hm, there were a few hours ago. Just images of him, no words, begging to be clicked. I know LI can blackball ads if they take action, maybe they did it today.
So it’s now the two and a half hour news cycle?
The Biden quitting theme is a media op.
“Jill told me I’m not allowed to.”
Or Hunter. Or both.
Joe Biden: “I’m not leaving.”
Voters: “Oh, yes, you are.”
Biden on drugs today. Yelling away.
