Biden, 79, insists [he is circling the drain] his alarming low and hoarse voice is just a COLD from 'kisses from his one-year-old grandson' and says he gets tested every day
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] 'The President has a frog in his throat': WH doctor's official diagnosis after sick Biden, 79, coughed his way through hoarse speech and said he had a cold caused by Hunter's one-year-old son's kisses
  • Biden raised concerns Friday morning sounding particularly hoarse as he delivered remarks on November's jobs report

  • Biden said it was 'just a cold' and he is tested for Covid-19 every day

  • 'What I have is a one and a half year old grandson who likes to kiss his pop,' Biden said

  • U.S. employers added just 210,000 jobs in November, well below the estimated half a million that economists had predicted

#1 Just The Newes - Early lids, lighter duty: Biden schedule marked by fewer events, more getaways than predecessors

Less is indeed better.

#2 He will expire abruptly, which is not the same as unexpectedly. That said, every single aspect of the rules already in place for a succession will be ignored in a way that will make the 2020 election look fairly clean. The CIA, which has no Constitional role at all in such matters will literally run the show. None of the people in the line of sucession outlined in the Constitution will be seated as prexident.

You heard it here first.

#3 /\ The CIA, which has no Constitutional role at all in such matters will literally run the show.

An international crisis or attack (name one, there are several brewing) will coincide with his departure to hospice care or beyond. Harris will nominally chair a troika of State, CIA, DoD actors and decision makers to meet the crisis. That's right, a 'central committee.'

Congress will continue to meet and engage in meaningless debate in secret locations. Quorums will be impossible as resignations pour in and elections are postponed. Due to time and action imperatives, the legislative process will essentially be nullified as will the US Constitution.

The congressional or representative gov't kabuki dance will have ended. The real locus of power will step from the shadows.

Any one have the name for the 18 month old Grandson and which kid was the mother or/father?

#6 Gosh, Besoeker, you make it sound as though we should pray to keep Biden alive and healthy. I suppose, considering some of the alternatives, we should.

#7 Cute, until you remember they are all pedophiles.

#8 I think the Taiwan, Ukraine and Iranian nuke threshold crises all pop in the coming months. And in each case we bouster and flail badly. Who leads after Jojo is pushed aside is problematic since they must be capable of some amount of public support to continue the facade of normalcy just a bit longer while they either sabotage or postpone the midterms. If that heppens, the coup steps out of the shadows a bit and the Central Committee format becomes a bit more visible. My bet is some Obama variant perhaps with Big Mike as a figurehead but not the real Imperial Power. That remains a coterie of Billionaires,union, gay and minority power brokers, and the Middle Kingdom.
Great book plot if I’m blowing smoke…

#9 /\ A very plausible scenario NoMoreBS. A more "visible Central Committee" appears to already be a weekly occurrence.
