The problem with that is he didn't understand, at the time, that we can't actually know if the woman vice president is, in fact, a woman.  🤡

Why would they force him to resign?  He apparently has already delegated most of his responsibilities to the cabinet level.  Interestingly, he didn't apparently delegate responsibilities to his VP.  (Of course, had he done that, it might've forced the 25th.)

 

Realize that typically running as an incumbent is a benefit in a presidential election, but would becoming an incumbent at this moment actually be a benefit for Harris? 

 

Of course it would, because then she would be unburdened by what has been...

It wasn't a coup.

Biden is the new Cincinnatus, dont'cha know (LBJ, who?).

 

Opinion: Joe Biden joins George Washington as America’s second Cincinnatus (msn.com)

 

 

And then there's this take:

 

By calling Joe Biden a hero, Dems treat Americans like idiots (nypost.com)

One of the things I take away from this is that, despite the establishment of DHS to help facilitate communications between different law enforcement/security organizations...it's really not working.

Well, paraphrasing Nancy Pelosi, you'll just have to elect her to find out what she's going to stand for.

Disagree.  Have you seen how these lap dogs have rallied around Kamala?  And she's not even that popular, not even close to Hillary's popularity.

 

Knowing how much it must gut Hillary keeps me warm at night. If Harris wins, Hillary's private misery will be the silver lining.

This is Hersch reporting it... and if it's true, yikes. Using the 25th as a threat, then leaving him in office once he agreed, is beyond unconstitutional. It's a hanging offense. 

 

 

BREAKING: More details behind the bloodless coup our nation just experienced from Seymour Hersh -
 

By Saturday, July 20, former President Barack Obama was deeply involved, and there was talk that he would place a call to Biden. It was not clear whether Biden had been examined or just what happened to him in Las Vegas. “The Big Three,” the official said, referring to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, continued to be directly involved. “On Sunday morning,” the official told Seymour Hersh, with the approval of Pelosi and Schumer, “Obama called Biden after breakfast and said, ‘Here’s the deal. We have Kamala’s approval to invoke the 25th Amendment.’” The amendment provides that when the president is determined by the vice president and others to be unfit to carry out the powers and duties of his office, the vice president shall assume those duties.

 

On Monday, July 15, Biden took off on Air Force One on a campaign trip to Nevada, a tossup state that Biden won in 2020 by a little more than 30,000 votes. On Tuesday, he gave the keynote address to 5,000 members of the NAACP at its annual convention. The next day, the president, apparently stricken while campaigning with a yet-to-be-revealed illness, broke from his schedule and made a police escort race to Air Force One after initially telling police they were heading to the nearest emergency room.

 

A series of blog posts, local police reports, internet messages, and a report in the Daily Mail disclosed further details of Biden’s trip to Las Vegas and his abrupt return home to Delaware. Seymour Hersh reviewed these reports this week with a senior official in Washington who helped him fashion an account of a White House in complete disarray, culminating in the president’s withdrawal from the race. It’s a story not unlike Seven Days in May, the Cold War thriller in which a colonel played by Kirk Douglas foils a coup staged by a general played by Burt Lancaster. None of what you read below comes from an official account by the White House.

We are literally seeing this play out each cycle, each year, each month, each hour. Sooner or later it's up to us to do something about it. No matter how unpleasant the thought is.

What's more...

 

Quote

Section 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

 

So...the House Minority Leader, Senate Majority Leader, and FORMER Speaker Of The House asked a FORMER President to threaten the President with the 25th without the input of any of the principals of the executive departments responsible for the decision under the 25th?????

 

This is what a coup looks like.  Legislators and people not even part of the government threatened to depose a President if he ran for office again.

 

And THIS is why I'll vote for Trump.  Democrats believe party and government are identical.

I don't buy the whole "coup" Narrative

 

A coup implies a change in the power structure.  It's still the same crew pulling the strings behind the curtain.

 

All they did was replace their Muppet.

True enough, it is more akin to if Queen Elizabeth had stepped down 5 years ago to let Charles be king. Biden was a total figurehead and Harris would be too. They're both dumb and pliable enough to be used and manipulated by the real powerholders to get their agenda done.
