    So..... does anyone think that Biden threw the debate on purpose?

    Just wondering if he could have made a personal decision.. not discussed with anyone except Jill... that he would throw the debate so that he could bow down without pressure from the party? Have a couple of years to himself at the end of his life.

    There's a conspiracy theory for you. It would, at least, make a good "Wag the Dog" movie.

    Doesn’t seem consistent with his character. The man has spent the last half century stooping to any lie or betrayal he could to enhance his power and reputation. He’ll just fire a few scapegoats on his staff and keep going until the voters, the party or nature stops him.

    I thought we were talking about Biden, not Trump?

    He is digging his heels in today telling us his jet setting around the world caused extreme fatigue.
    He would never give it up voluntarily, the power and the glory. And none of these guys would tarnish their legacy by enacting a feeble old man role for show.The legacy thing is important to each and all of them.

    Frankly right now, I am reconsidering my Biden vote. I may have to go back to my third party vote of the last two elections. I cannot vote for sneaky liars, those pretending that Biden (/who obviously will never resign) is healthy enough to be President.

    Sam Harris said, paraphrasing, those who were in on shoring up Biden should feel shame, and those on the outside should feel fury.

    If Biden threw the debate, he missed a career calling in acting.

    I wonder what Vegas odds are that he will withdraw. His odds of beating Trump in the most recent polls do not paint a pretty picture.

    Just heard on the radio news that Biden is doubling down on not leaving the race.

    I'm just assuming Trump will win at this point.

    The last effective strategy left to the Biden people seems to be threatening the voters with a Trump apocalypse. Unless Trump obliges (as he well may) with something truly horrible, that may not be enough.

    I encourage all who believe in our country & democracy to not have a defeatist attitude--but to fight for what we believe in.

    What will YOU do to make sure democracy prevails?

    A defeatist attitude is simply that--defeatist.

    Fight, vote, change attitudes & minds.
    peaceful, easy feeling

    I am thinking that this could be our last Independence day under a Democracy or Democratic Republic. Read Project 2025, pay attention to the Supreme Court decisions, think about a House of Rep. that refused to do its job. The states that are killing women with insane laws that invade the privacy of every female.
