    His cabinet could also use the 25th ammendment and it pretty much kills his candidacy as well.

      Apparently he hasn’t had a full cabinet meeting since October 2023. Wouldn’t surprise me if his chief of staff is shielding him from the cabinet specifically over fears of them realizing just how compromised Biden is mentally.

        You mean Chief of Staff Jeff Zients, former management consultant for Bain Capital?

        Jesus. That’s even more insidious. More selfish. “We can’t let the people with the power to do something know they should probably do something.”

        Great plan. Because they’re just opening up the country to bear the burden instead of his cabinet—whose fucking job it is to take care of this shit.

        Jesus Christ that pisses me off

        I’ve been saying that we know it’s a huge gamble to have another candidate at this point. But that gamble is worth it if they’re seeing that running him is a guaranteed loss. What the fuck

          If that’s not hyperbole, maybe take a break from this clusterfuck and have some fun. It’s not gonna get better anytime soon. Have a great weekend.

      Yep. There’s lots of options.

      It’s just the people who can do it, are ones Biden put in power, so they don’t want to.

      Just like how we found out lots of shit needed changed after trump was president, there’s lots of shit we need to change after Biden too.

      We can’t just keep pretending another president will always do the right thing. We need an exit strategy for presidents like we’ve had the last two terms that routinely out themselves over the country
