NY Post – Alexander Hamilton’s New York Post reports that operatives at the very highest levels of the Democratic Party threatened President 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 from seeking re-election had been in place for weeks, but stubborn Biden fought it every step of the way, a source close to the Biden family told The Post on 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 shocking letter posted on X Sunday — was allowing him to debate Republican candidate Donald Trump last month on live TV in Atlanta.
“That debate was a set-up to convince Democrats that he couldn’t run for president,” the source said 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 the president 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.
Although Biden immediately endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate for president, the source said Democratic delegates will be strongly encouraged to instead back Arizona Sen. and former astronaut Mark Kelly for president at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August.
Some holdouts still have yet to endorse Harris as Biden’s successor, despite there being less than a month until the convention and only four months until Election Day. Most notable among them is former President Barack Obama.
“We will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead,” Obama said Sunday.
Following the debate, first son Hunter Biden suddenly became more involved in his father’s day-to-day business and insisted upon attending every official and unofficial meeting, the source said.
“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.”
Biden’s own staff did not have any forewarning about the bombshell decision to pull out of the race, which was known since at least Tuesday, the source said.
Many were also shocked by the letter posted to Biden’s X account itself, as it was typed on his private letterhead rather than White House notepaper and signed electronically, the source said.
“Everyone was totally shocked,” the source said. “It was pretty telling that Jill Biden tweeted a heart emoji and nothing else.”3.
Democratic Party insiders have also known for at least two years how Biden was in decline, said the source.
“When I saw him a couple of years ago, it was frightening,” said the source. “He was just repeating slogans and had no idea who I was.”
In the end, it is quite a legacy for the gaffer, who claimed over and over he was the only one who could defeat Trump to save our “SACRED DEMOCRACY” (bow your heads and let’s have a moment of silent contemplation here as to how blessed we are to have SACRED DEMOCRACY in America) and win the fight for the SOUL OF AMERICA – the first sitting American president to be deposed and sacked by his own party while in office because his senility was a liability to the PARTY (PARTY UBER ALLES, afterall).
So old Joe is now a washed-up, has-been, ONE TERM LAME DUCK president.
I wonder if the dude can get a best-selling book out of all of that.
The choice he was given reminds me of the choice given to Erwin Rommel after the failed assassination attempt of Hitler – commit suicide by cyanide, or face trial in a so-called People’s Court (Volksgericht) and if Rommel refused to end his own life, his family would be imprisoned and face the People’s Court, which show trials usually ended in grim deaths.
It should not come as a surprise to anyone when President Biden steps down prior to the election so that Kamala Harris can run as an incumbent.
I don’t think the gaffer’s ego will allow him to do that.
That would really serve to cement his legacy as a ONE-TERM LOSER, after all his bluster and braggadocio about how he was the only one who defeat Trump to save our SACRED DEMOCRACY and the SOUL OF AMERICA.
You’re probably right, too much ego to go.
However; he does seem to be losing his faculties at an accelerating pace lately. Five more months. That’s a lot of time for Iran, Russia or others to throw him a sliding curve ball.
His handlers are running the show these days trying to minimizing his exposure.
Hard to say, but it still would not be a big surprise.
Actually, it’s just 83 days, not five months, because election day is November 5, 2024, on the day, Harris will have either won, in which case it won’t make a difference i8f Biden dropped out of office, or she will have lost, which again won’t make a difference, because if Biden dropped out, she would only have what was left of his term to complete, and i8f Biden were to resign today, then Harris would be forced into a spotlight she presently can hide from, with her non-campaigning.
If she assumed the presidency today, then her incompetence would be on full display for all the world to see, and I don’t believe the Democrat powers that be, Pelosi, Schumer, Obama, Raskin and Schiff, would allow that to happen. because then she would be the same threat to down-ballot Democrats that Biden was.
Consider the Daily Caller article titled “Biden Confirms Dems Forced Him Out Over Down-Ballot Concerns” by Julianna Frieman on 12 August 2024, where Biden confirmed that Democrats pressured him to drop his reelection bid over down-ballot concerns in an interview that aired Sunday on CBS News.
“Look, the polls we had showed that it was a neck-and-neck race.”
“It would’ve been down to the wire,” Biden said.
“But what happened was, a number of my Democratic colleagues in the House and the Senate thought that I was gonna hurt them in their races,” he continued.
I would say that that calculus is still in play with respect to Harris, who is as much a potential liability to the Democrats as is Biden.
As to Iran, Russia or others throwing a sliding curve ball, consider this from a Jerusalem Post article titled “Iran increases its attacks in Syria, Iraq against US forces” by Seth J. Frantzman on
28 July 2024:
ran’s escalation comes as it senses the US is focused on domestic political issues.
It may also want to try to take advantage of US President Joe Biden pulling out of the race for President, and Iran may want to test Vice-President Kamala Harris, who has been elevated to the likely Democratic candidate in the US.

Can you imagine Harris in the white house before the November election if the excrement hit the fan in the Middle East?
Her incompetence would really be on display them to our serious detriment, and the detriment of the Democrats.
So I think we’re stuck with old Joe as a mere figurehead until at least November 5, and after that, either way, it won’t matter if he drops out of office early.
And here we have more proof of Karmela Harris’s intentional NON-CAMPAIGN as she hides in her basement to conceal her ignorance, incompetence and unfitness to hold the high office of US president, which position Iran and its proxies in the Middle East are hoping she will win in November:

“Sen. Schmitt clashes with CNN host over Harris dodging press: At least Trump is ‘willing to answer questions’”
Story by Gabriel Hays
14 August 2024
Harris’ orbit has been defiant and even gleeful about avoiding the press and keeping policy positions vague, all while Harris has blatantly shifted views on a variety of significant topics.
“Why would we start talking about policy?” a prominent Democrat told Politico Playbook this week.
“We’re actually better off just running on this real wave of enthusiasm and energy…”
“It’s the best thing [Harris] can do.”

It’s the ONLY thing Harris can do to conceal from the American people just how stupid she really is, and how limited she is policy wise, with her only real policy initiative being to make it the national policy in the United States of America for Democrats to be able kill unborn children with impunity as a form of human sacrifice to the chthonic gods the Democrats worship, like Jezebel of old.
