#3 Buden has been visited several times by a Parkinson's doctor.

"A disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement, often including tremors.

Nerve cell damage in the brain causes dopamine levels to drop, leading to the symptoms of Parkinson's.

Parkinson's often starts with a tremor in one hand. Other symptoms are slow movement, stiffness, and loss of balance.

Medications can help control the symptoms of Parkinson's." Mayo Clinic

I also think Putin has Parkinson's disease.

#4 Biden is not, his wife Jill is the one hanging on.

Seems Jill like being the first lady and enjoy the power of running the country.

#5 He's staying in because he still has six and a half months to continue flushing the country right down the toilet.

#7 He's a tool of the globalists and eco-friendly, population control liberals who hate exceptionalism and all this country stands for.

Too many people are the problem you see.

#10 It's Jill, Hunter, and Obama hanging on. Jill likes the perks of the White House, Hunter doesn't want to give up the money from selling access, and Obama isn't finished fundamentally transforming the country.

#11 Jill Biden is negotiating are pardon deal because as soon as Joe steps down that ship has sailed. A deal would probably include Hunter which is a harder one to swallow because pardoning Joe can be played off as a uniting the country move while Hunter went down for gun charges not for the laptop which is harder.

Perhaps Joe can pardon Hunter on his way out, despite his promises not to do so but assurances must be made.

#12 Joe not only has an outsized ego but also has magical thinking (Trillion$ programs produce lots of jobs but no inflation) and Mitty fantasies (I put together NATO, I put down Corn Pop).

To be sure a lot of politicians have those characteristics (including Trump) but in Biden's case his incompetence and diminishing brain make it way worse.

#13 What I find funny is a few days ago only Michelle Obama was beating Trump in the polls. Today only Hillary is beating Trump in the polls. The different Democrat factions are all trying to gain the upper hand and I don't think any are getting traction.

A smart politician would wait 4 years until Trump has fixed the country and has been attacked and villified for 4 years and people have 4 years to forget Democrat overreach and horrific economy. That would be a better time for Newsome to run and I think he knows it.

#14 Hunter is leading policy meetings. We can’t have that through January. Joe needs to be canned.

#15 At least since Obama won in 2008 I've been fascinated by Democrat Party discipline. Pelosi ruled the House with an iron hand. All of the Democrat members always voted the way the leadership told them to vote. I never heard any dissent. Republicans, the Stupid Party, seemed weak and divided. Pelosi, Schumer and Obama always got their way. If indeed there is a "broad spectrum of opinion" in that party, we've seen precious little of it in the past two decades. It would do us all a lot of good if some cracks in this monolith would finally appear.

And I still can't help wondering if the DNC is really the organization calling the shots or if it's Obama or if it is some other shadowy person or organization phoning it in to Kalorama from an even more obscure location. But it would be wonderful if he/she/they finally lost his/her/their grip.

Biden's obstinance is interesting because up until now most of us assumed he was only taking orders from Obama and, if ordered to stand down, he would. The scariest thing was the idea that Biden really was in charge in spite of his cognitive issues. But we still don't know because all of this could be part of some strategy that has yet to unfold. Democrats are full of tricks and this could all just be the latest trick. Let's just hope this is some kind of failure or mistake instead and they have no better options.

#16 Hunter has become the gatekeeper and openly participating in senior meetings seated next to his father. Already questions are being raised about him receiving possibly classified information. This is a presidency converting to an Imperial kleptocracy because of a feckless political party unwilling to invoke the 25th and lose power. Never was there a clearer justification for immediate Impeachment or removal by the 25th Amendment!

#18 CTH may have hit upon a primary motive behind the massive illegal immigration surge:

"The people behind Joe Biden that used illegal voter registration, subsequent ballot harvesting, and ultimately corrupt ballot counting to install Biden into office, have threatened to veto any legislation that would impede their election fraud operation."

"By now we should all know the essential process being deployed. This is the reason for the open border policies.

The Biden administration (DHS) is not “importing democrat voters.” Instead, DHS is importing people, names, that allows the state fraud process to generate ballots. This is an important distinction.

The migrants will not use the ballots. The DNC harvesters will collect them, fill them out (Team Obama), then the Precinct workers will scan them and count them (Team Clyburn). Illegals don’t need to vote. They only need to exist to create a ballot. "

#19 When the voting returns wildly exceed the 2020 census of adults in key cities/states, that's when they'll force the "what are you going to do about it" moment.

#21 What they should do is gather up a select group of press and head on out to a vehicle park, have Joe drive up to the crowd, get out, and make some poses in his aviators.

The catch is that the actual driving controls will be for the starboard seat and the actual drive be dressed and situated so as not to be seen from a predetermined camera position.

Why does everyone keep saying President Biden, like it is him making the decision?

We all know that is NOT JB running the show, and has not been him for 2+ years.

It is the hidden power welding puppet masters in the background, and certain DC Swampers/Elites running the US Gov.

They are the ones risking the continued operation of the USA, so they can promote abnormal Social/Moral Change and skim $$$$$$.

#24 Know what's hip, now, and wow?

Bicycling. Takes stamina and concentration. Get Joe out to some nice looking bike trails and have him peddle around, smartly dressed, and pull up suave to a group of selected media attendants.

#26 First, Joe still thinks he is full control of his faculties and the only people who could convince him otherwise have no interest in doing so. Second, all the money Biden/Harris has raised can only go toward their election and cannot be used by another nominee. Third, they know Harris would lose against Trump, but they can't replace her without angering the black female vote. The Democrats don't have many options and may choose to run Joe and hope they can squeeze out a victory against Trump.
