Looks like they're rolling with Joe for now (until the next big Senior Moment, at least).
Okay, who goes to Camp David for "the talk"?

The real question is, did Ted Danson do the Nasty w Whoopi in Blackface?
Whoopi seems to really have a case of Jungle Fever. Why doesn't she date black men?

Chuck Todd and Politico's Jonathan Martin (formerly of CNN and NYT) discuss on Todd's podcast that Biden's deterioration was an open secret - the 'nonversation' - for years, that two years ago a Cabinet member discussed with Todd that Biden wasn't capable of running again.
Note that this was not reported at the time. They both shrug off any idea that the media was protecting Biden, instead saying Biden's access was so tightly managed it was like he was still running the campaign in his basement. They note he hasn't done a Sunday show in 3 years.
Martin surmises that Dem's didn't do anything about it because their constituents really like Biden and they wanted to avoid the next logical question if Biden was out: Are you for the Vice President? They didn't want to have to answer that question.

A WH official reportedly tells The Atlantic they hope Biden makes a gaffe at the NATO conference because that will help push him out.

Details On the Proposed "Blitz Primary"

The oddest primary season in modern times may take an even stranger turn, as calls for Joe Biden to step down grow louder https://t.co/l7QkbeaGpY pic.twitter.com/hilMviDBTr
Even more... NBC news reports members of Biden's own campaign are saying he needs to drop out.
The gloves are off and the media is in full attack mode.

This situation really pisses me off. It's pretty tough to tell a sitting President that they shouldn't run again, but somebody needed to do it... last year. I don't know who Jill Biden thinks she's helping, but the answer is "nobody". Well, maybe Trump.
Regarding Dems whose "constituents really liked Biden", lol, I thought the polls showed that nobody really liked him.
Regarding what he could have said about Kamala Harris, something like, "I think she'd be a great President, but I'll endorse whoever is my party's nominee.
I guess his press conference is on now? I can't bear to watch! If he's terrible, it's like watching a train wreck; if he's "so-so, not that good", even worse probably.

Trump is worse than Biden, no question. Light years worse. That is why I want our best possible candidate in there to run against him.
I agree that the conversation should have happened earlier, but in fairness it could also be true that Biden's condition has deteriorated quickly over the last year, culminating in the current panic. Like, maybe he had issues before but it was manageable and you could keep things running just fine with him (similar to Reagan at the end of his term). But now it's reached a point where you can't anymore. Some people age faster than others.Big C said:tequila4kapp said:

Or also there could have been a massive conspiracy to defraud the public and every Democrat is guilty! I suspect the truth is somewhere in between, but I don't really know.
Either way . . . he should drop out.

They all knew: he campaigned from his basement.

Today is kind of glorious if your Pres. Trump (or Vice President Trump lol). Biden did good enough to make dems livid in this presser. Biden is not going to leave voluntarily so the party insiders were hoping he melted down to make it easier..but now Obama/Schumer/Pelosi might have to speak up, something they don't want to do.

Don't be led around the nose by money driven corporate news. The press conference was substantive and boring. Exactly what the corporate press does not want because it is bad for ratings. They want ratings. They want Trump to be President and then they want to hyperventilate about Trump his whole Presidency. That's how they make money.

If that is true, Trump must not be as bad as you make him out to be. Aren't they better served writing articles about him raping children? Why don't you join the media and do it?

Even Minot said President Biden did "good enough". For Minot to say that about this President tells us all that he did a really good job.

I do. We really don't know if he was actually in his basement.
Normal folks would know that is a figure of speech to draw attention to his hiding from the public instead of campaigning. We do know that he didn't campaign or give speeches close to the same amount as historical presidential candidates. We also know that his team feeds the press questions they are allowed to ask.
Do you see how this works? You can actually respond to someone with substance. It helps when you are right.
It also helps not acting like an emotional fifth grade turd lashing out at anyone with opposing views. Hopefully, you learned something here. You don't seem to do much of that
This is the entire story. The press covered for Biden as recently as last week ("deep fakes" claims for the charity event where Clooney has now confirmed Biden was out of it) and our country has already paid a steep price with Biden asleep at the wheel.

Who has been (and is) running the country? It is incredible to me we don't know, yet there still is no reporting on that critical issue.
George Clooney was allegedly being groomed to run for the White House. Supposedly dim. Best buds with Obama, hence, Obama gave his wife the green light to write George's op-ed telling Joe to step down.

Disagree/Agree
Disagree because this has always been about next-four-years-Biden, not past-four-years-Biden.
Agree because Biden has done a pretty good job, this first term. The notions that Biden caused the inflation, or that Biden screwed up Afghanistan because it was a fairly messy evacuation... those are ridiculous. Biden is about as capable of finishing out his term as Reagan was his second term. Just probably have to give it to him slowly sometimes, like if it's outside of his 10:00 - 4:00 window!
