Or she’s a young woman who was abused and then victimized by her powerful family.

Do you really think that the Biden machine would allow her to openly accuse him of anything? The same family that weaponized the fbi to cover up baby boy Hunter’s laptop? Maybe stop idolizing Joe for a minute and think about a young woman whose own words wonder out loud if she was sexually abused while she was in rehab for addiction.

You see us as using her words against her. Did you ever think we are giving her words power?

Sure you're giving her power, whatever you need to tell yourself.

And you are very naive. I suppose Tara Reade is a liar too. 8 other women have made accusations about Joe. Are they ALL lying?

Im no Trump fan. I would have preferred Vivek Ramaswamy but Trump is better than four more years of this shit.

I don't think his daughter is lying.

I'll leave the thread now, otherwise I'll just be reposting the same link again :)

Go and spend some time with women that have been abused by rich and powerful men then tell me again that she wasn’t coerced to write that letter.

Trump is a convicted felon.

Biden is no longer in the race.

Hunter Biden has suffered from his childhood head injuries all his life.

Harris was not a good VP pick and would be a poor bet against Trump

PAC funding can be fudged

Who are the most likely solid Democrat candidates ?

Well I believe her… that’s a start.

I think we’re going to see a lot skeletons falling out of the Biden closet as time goes on and they lose power. He’s a liability now and has been for awhile which is why the press has turned on him in recent weeks. Oh he’ll still have money to shield him from the worst of it but I don’t think he’ll be quite as protected as he has been.

Newsom, Whitmer, Harris are all the front runners. I suspect we’ll see a ticket containing at least two of those names.

What will be interesting is if Newsom makes a bid for himself. I haven’t seen him endorse her yet.

So what happens now ?it seems unlikely Kamala Harris has a chance of winning the election, can the Democrats put forward another candidate?
Would Kamala,Harris have more of a chance if Biden resigned right now and she became president forward few months?

He’s a good and decent man. I think this is the right thing. Genuinely think he is one of the best. It’s sad he is just too old to continue.

After Biden’s first wife, Neilia, and daughter, Naomi, were killed in a car crash, he spent years lying about the driver of the tractor-trailer she ran into. He claimed the man was a drunk driver, when he was not, and when police had determined that the accident happened because Neilia pulled into the tractor-trailer’s path.

CaveMum · 21/07/2024 22:25

Re potential running mates for Kamala, the names mentioned on the emergency pod were:

Gavin Newsom (edited to add as I missed him off originally)
Josh Shapiro
Pete Buttigieg
Gretchen Whitmer
Roy Cooper
Andy Beshear

Every argument the Trump team have tried to use against Biden and his age now applies to Trump - HE is the old one now and he will hate that!

Not sure I agree. I think Biden had to stretch it out as far as he possibly could. The Democrats needed to know this is emergency stations. No in-fighting, no personal ambition. A good man is down, and now there is no time for anything but to pull together and stop Trump.

RBG stretched it out as far as she possibly could, and all that did was give Trump another Supreme Court appointee. If she had stepped down in the middle of Obama’s tenure Roe vs Wade might never have been overturned. It’s pure hubris now just as it was then and all it does is land everyone that’s left behind in the shit once they’re gone.

I honestly thought that was the plan before the last election. Bidens cognitive problems were so obvious, even then, that I thought the democrats fully intended to use him to win the election and then replace him with Kamala Harris.

She's proved to be quite unpopular so I'm not sure Biden resigning now would help.

I also believe Tara Reade too.
