Someone please tell me that this is all just an elaborate plan to make Biden actually look stronger.
President Biden, in a surprise phone interview on MSNBC on Monday morning, said he’s frustrated by the discussion about his fitness and the calls for him to step aside. “Any of these guys that don’t think I should run, run against me. Announce for president, challenge me at the convention,” he said.

It's an elaborate plan to put Trump at such ease that he cruise controls the campaign over the cliff ala Hillary in 2016?? Best I can do.
The panic among Democrats about whether President Joe Biden will step aside has officially reached the Can Taylor Swift Save Us? stage.
According to a report from Semafor, two “well connected” Democrats have been circulating a memo to party donors proposing a plan for a “blitz primary” to replace Biden. The memo — written by Georgetown law professor and former Obama administration staffer Rosa Brooks, along with venture capitalist and Democratic donor Ted Dintersmith — proposes a month-long primary featuring six candidates who receive the most votes from party delegates. The delegates would then decide the party’s eventual nominee right before the Democratic National Convention in Chicago — which starts on Aug. 19.
Among the many parts of this plan sure to be dismissed as fanciful by critics, all the candidates must pledge to run a positive campaign. And the plan would require the immediate and complete support of President Biden — who, of course, has insisted he is remaining in the race.
So where does Taylor Swift come in? As part of their plan, Brooks and Dintersmith propose weekly forums with the six potential candidates — which would be moderated by various cultural icons. Among the names floated as potential moderators; Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, and yes, Taylor Swift.
And while the haters gonna hate, Brooks claims her far-flung plan has been met with “near-universal support,” according to Semafor.
“We can limp to shameful, avoidable democracy-ending defeat,” the memo states (per Semafor). “Or Democrats can make this Our Finest Hour.”
Polls always narrow as November approaches.
We are still waiting for an October Surprise.

That letter Biden sent to Congress demanding that they shut up and bow down was thoroughly Trumpical. Read it with Trump's voice in your head and there's practically no difference but grammar; the dishonesty and the "me me me" attitude are exactly identical. The part about the "democratic selection process" by which "the voters have spoken" and picked him "by a wide margin" is the most Trumpical and the most disgusting; not only is it all lies, but he's the guy who made it be exactly the opposite of what he's claiming it was, precisely because he knew nobody wanted him, and he's now trying to use the results of his own selfish scale-thumbing to prove how much everybody loves him. He might as well have been talking about the huge crowd size at some recent event of his, "which the media will never tell you".
This election is worse than a choice between two old mentally unwell (although in different ways) guys with little grasp of reality. It's that plus also a choice between two guys who think the purpose of the Presidency is to have their whole country serve & glorify them.

Not only has nobody here connected dementia with "weak", nor have I even said he has dementia, but, on top of those, you are the one who just read about Trumpish behavior and called that "strong".I get it. When Biden acts weak, he's got dementia. When he acts strong, he's Trumpian. Gotcha.![]()

Translation: "Near-universal support" means "My very small clique of idiot friends. I also asked my cats and they approve!"

And now that it's a chunk of his own party finally admitting it and telling him to act accordingly, it's clear that he knows he has a problem and is still carrying on anyway, because what he's responding to isn't something his own party would be doing otherwise.His recent strong statements are often pre-prepared lies to cover his deficiencies.
