Hi John, Well, Joe Biden says: A defiant President Joe Biden insisted . . . that he is “done talking about the debate” Defiant Biden tells donors: 'We're done talking about the debate' - Live Updates - POLITICO Which just reinforces the idea that he has no grasp on reality. He may be done talking about it, but the nation is not. Jerry Baumchen

Hi tk, I will vote for Trump's opponent in Nov, no matter who it might be. I will no longer support Joe Biden financially. If he steps aside, I will probably support that person with my money. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Phil, IMO it is not the nomination process; but, the Advise & Consent process; or lack thereof => Mitch McConnell & Obama. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, More from his interview: “I don’t believe that’s my approval rating.” 6 takeaways from Biden's high-stakes interview : NPR This is a good read. He is in complete denial. Jerry Baumchen PS) More from the article: Father Time is undefeated.

Hi Keith, Here is Jeep's version; not exactly what you asked about, but close. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, I just watched the Geo S/ABCNews interview of Biden. He made things even worse. He reminds me of a dead man walking. It seemed to me, that for the most part, he could not even understand the questions. Hopefully, this will get the powers that be to push Jill out of the way & get Joe out of the race. It was sad to watch. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, For only one reason: I DO NOT WANT DONALD TRUMP TO WIN. If I thought Joe could beat him, I would stay silent. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, Apparently, it is not a lock for Biden: delegates could choose not to cast their ballots for him at the nominating convention. California Democrat reminds delegates party rules don’t require them to vote for Biden at DNC (msn.com) There is still hope. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, I do not need the WSJ to tell me this: Mr. Biden’s best bet for survival, bizarrely, is to keep warning Democrats that his withdrawal will simply force them to confront other notable mistakes—crowning a barely qualified and unpopular vice president Opinion | About the Democratic Panic (msn.com) IMO that is a very poor argument. IMO she is not the heir apparent; far too many others more qualified. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, And, even deeper with this: Biden said that he was in good shape but then quipped, "It's just my brain." Biden may still decide to exit race, Hawaii governor says : NPR OK, when do you folks out there think when he will toss in the towel? Jerry Baumchen PS) Can you not just see the salivating by the Trump/MAGA people?

Hi Ken, 1. He had a cold. Yet, he seemed to get over it the next day in Charlotte. 2. It was jet lag. Yet, he had not been anywhere for 12 days. 3. Now, he says he needs more sleep. He must be campaigning for Trump. If he was truly in charge of his faculties, he would fire his entire campaign team. It is only to get worse. Jerry Baumchen PS) It looks like a number of the D's are putting some distance between him & them: Democrats in competitive House races break from Joe Biden (thehill.com)

Hi tk, Re: I believe that ANY decent Democratic candidate could beat Trump with or without money. Yup - 1000% Re: Biden staying in just demonstrates that even the Democrats are mired in their own political power structure and do not give a fuck about the country. Sad but true. What about what Joe's mother told him in 2008: 'Joey, do what is best for the country.' Short memory I guess. Re: The sad part right now is the discussion is 100% about how unfit Biden is for office and not even 1% about how unfit Trump is for office. IMO Trump did not move the needle one iota in his debate performance. Biden blew it. Politics is no game for the faint-hearted. As I posted before: Trump is going the wrong way on the race track, but he is going like a bat out of hell. His MAGA folks love it. Re: Representative Democracy is dead and has been systematically dismantled for decades Ever since Newt was the Speaker. Re: Happy fourth of July folks Yup; it was fun while it lasted. Take care, tk, Jerry Baumchen

Hi Ken, Not totally true. The VSE MARD can be seen by the window in the upper closing reserve flap. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, It is only going to get worse: not only did Biden fail in this objective, but he exacerbated perhaps his biggest weakness Gretchen Whitmer who is being floated as a Biden replacement — told Biden that the Wolverine State was no longer winnable for the incumbent after the debate. Tides begin to turn on Joe Biden post-debate (thehill.com) Jerry Baumchen

Hi Sky, In 62-63, I was stationed in NE France. We used to go up to Germany on the weekends; better beer & better women. Virtually, every elder German we would talk to served on the eastern front. Sure!!!!!! Jerry Baumchen

Hi Bill, Re: People get mad when I drew the parallels to Hitler's rise to power. We are on the very same page. I've been saying this for a very long time. Thank you for the extensive post bringing this in detail. Every American should be very afraid of what might come next. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, His team said he had cold. It did not sound like a cold Friday in Charlotte. Now, it seems they are trying this: Biden blames jet lag and travel for poor debate performance (bbc.com) This just gets worse & worse. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, That could be true. The other option was to sit still & wring my hands. No thanks. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Bill, And, if Trump gets the Senate, you kiss it all goodby. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, I sent an extensive message about how I supported him in 2020 & so far in 2024. I also mentioned how Joe went to his mother & asked what to do when Obama asked him to be on the ticket. His mom said, 'Joey, do what's best for the country.' I told that is what he should do now. Anything else? Jerry Baumchen PS) Last Friday, when I could not figure out how to contact the While House, I sent messages to Newson, Merkley, Wyden, Harris; and, maybe one or two others that I cannot remember at this time.

Hi tk, I did, last week. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Robert, I was just thinking about that earlier this morning. Jerry Baumchen PS) And, why is this thread called Trump's Immunity; it applies to all Presidents.

Hi Joe, Then quit posting on here. Jerry Baumchen PS) I just sent a message to Chuck Schumer since he is one of those meeting with Joe tomorrow.

Hi Joe, It's only about 5 minutes of your life to call the White House. You will make more happen with that 5 minutes than 153 hrs posting on here. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, Would you not like to be a fly on the wall for this one: President Biden is set to hold meetings with Democratic congressional leaders and governors on Wednesday amid widespread concerns over his debate performance. Biden meeting with Democratic governor, lawmakers amid debate fallout (thehill.com) Let's hope they tell it like it is. Jerry Baumchen
