You always question my intelligence, it is nice to know you can't even come up with your own phrases.

You are welcome.

I thought it might be possible for you to see how stupid that sounds when it came from someone else. But alas nothing seems to help. I noticed you didn't seem to have an answer for what it was you actually based your comment on and instead avoided it by trying to turn the tables back towards me? I suppose that's what you are basing I am questioning your intelligence about?

The actual problem is you think everyone else is too stupid to see that.

j/c...

I propose that on Sundays, we all let Pit just scream at himself all day.

Yet in posting that, here you are.

You may wish to look at who it is doing the screaming and throwing a fit before you point the finger at someone else. I see you still didn't get any ice cream.

It seems when I directly point out how stupid you are your protection detail makes me go away.

You really didn't use "panic porn" correctly, but imitation is the sincerest for of flattery. You won't ever be this cool though.

Your definition of cool seems to be counter to what society believes it is. And I used it exactly the way you do. You use it as a label to describe anything you disagree with. It's you who made it a one size fits all bit of rhetoric, not me. Mockery is not imitation.

The fact you couldn't tell the difference isn't cool.

Saw a few threads back we/ including me act civil.....because it is Sunday- I'll ask two questions- Did God create only smart/ dumb Democrats or Republicans and only make your choice "they" have the answers? Does God laugh at us because he's heard, seen all this stuff since mankind began or does he weep?

If God didn't have a sense of humor he would never have created the Platypus or the Sloth. And possibly republicans.

Joe Biden drops out of 2024 race, exit comes amid growing pressure from top Dems

WASHINGTON − President Joe Biden said Sunday he is ending his bid for reelection amid intense pressure from Democratic leaders sounding the alarm that his path to beat former President Donald Trump in November has vanished.

The president's historic withdrawal throws the 2024 race − already roiled by a shocking attempt on Trump's life − into uncertain territory, with Vice President Kamala Harris seen as the Democrat best placed to take Biden's place atop the party's ticket.

Biden made the announcement from his home in Rehoboth Beach, Del., where he's self-isolated since testing positive for COVID-19 Thursday night.

"It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President," Biden said in a written statement. "And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and my country for me to stand down and to focus solely on my duties as President for the rest of my term."

Biden did not immediately endorse a successor. He said he would speak to the nation later this week to provide more detail about his decision.

It marks an extraordinary turn for Biden, who for three weeks remained defiant in the face of growing calls from Democratic lawmakers that he withdraw after a disastrous June 27 debate with Trump raised scrutiny over the president's mental fitness.

Biden's exit came after he received bleak warnings from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democratic House Leader Hakeem Jeffries that his candidacy could lead to massive losses for Democrats in the Senate and House.

More than 30 congressional Democrats called for Biden to bow out, and former President Barack Obama reportedly relayed similar fears to Democratic allies about Biden's prospects of beating Trump. Democratic donors from Hollywood to Wall Street also came out against Biden continuing his reelection bid.

President Joe Biden speaks on economics during the Vote To Live Properity Summit at the College of Southern Nevada in Las Vegas, Nevada, on July 16, 2024.
The decision upends the 2024 election less than 110 days before Election Day, with Democratic National Committee members now tasked with choosing an alternative nominee to take on Trump, whose polling lead has swelled while Democrats have fought internally.

Vice President Harris is now the frontrunner to replace Biden as the Democratic nominee, but the party's bench of Democratic governors could also be in the mix including Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania and Gavin Newsom of California.

Biden becomes the first incumbent president not to seek reelection since Lyndon B. Johnson who, in 1968 amid national unrest and turmoil within the Democratic Party over the Vietnam War, stunned the nation with his decision not to seek a second full term.

Biden, 81, has battled Americans’ concerns over his age since he took office but it turned into panic for Democrats after last month's first debate with Trump, the Republican nominee. Biden's voice sounded faint, he struggled to complete sentences and finish thoughts, and he failed to rebut many many of Trump's claims on the debate stage.

Biden's campaign was in a free fall over the past few weeks with his future in doubt. Instead of focusing solely on Trump, Democrats spent as much time and energy debating whether Biden could even defeat his predecessor.


Fundraising for the Biden campaign took a dramatic hit. And Biden not only fell behind in key battleground states that will decide the election, but his growing unpopularity seemed to put recent Democratic strongholds like Virginia in play for Trump.

Biden's departure will soon mean the end of a five-decade career in Washington that began in 1972 with an upset victory for U.S. Senate in Delaware. He served as a senator for 36 years, then as Obama's vice president from 2009 to 2017. Biden returned to public life to run against Trump in the 2020 presidential election, beating Trump 51%-47% in the popular vote.

Biden drops out of the 2024 presidential race

President Biden announced Sunday that he was pulling out of the 2024 campaign following a weeks-long pressure campaign from fellow Democrats that began in earnest following his much-criticized debate performance in late June.

“I believe it is in the the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down," Biden said in a statement posted to X. He added that he plans to address the nation later this week.

Biden’s exit from the presidential race comes less than a month before the Democrats are scheduled to hold their nominating convention in Chicago starting on Aug. 19. It also raises questions about who will replace him at the top of the ticket, how that person will be picked and whether they have a better shot at defeating former President Donald Trump than the 81-year-old current president.

I’ll vote for whoever or whatever they put against don.
They could put a bottle of donny’s orange skin dye on the ticket. I’d vote for it.
So, frankly, this changes nothing for me.

That's the best possible thing he could have done. Nearly two thirds of democrats polled wanted him to drop out of the race.....

Sadly it appears only one of the two parties admit their candidate isn't fit for office. I guess at least we're now half way there.

I’m interested to see if the try to force feed Harris down the convention goers throats or other candidates come forward. It should be an exciting convention!

Why would promoting the current vice president be what you claim as "force feed Harris down the convention goers throats"?

Because she has a likability factor of zero and sounds like a cackling fool every time she speaks. People are going to vote for the border czar after the greatest border invasion in the history of the world??

Republicans everywhere are begging for a Kamala and (insert ANY name) ticket.

Because the current vice president wasn’t well liked by the democrats that make up the party four years ago and I don’t think she is much more popular now. The Democrats have a history of trying to force feed candidates (Hillary and Biden) in one instance it didn’t work out.

With just convention goers picking their next candidate I will be interested to see how much debate there will be.

I wonder if they have told Joe yet.

Trump Supporters — Including Musk And DeSantis — Urge Biden To Stay In Race

https://www.forbes.com/sites/brianb...d-desantis---urge-biden-to-stay-in-race/

After latest flubs, Trump and several allies hope Biden stays in race

https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/2024/07/13/biden-trump-nato-news-conference/

I'm sorry you haven't been paying attention.

The could turn into a real Kamality....

Biden endorsed her when he announced he was stepping aside. Since her name is on the Biden/Harris ticket it appears she may be able to use those funds if she is the nominee. If they endorse someone whose name was not on the ticket they donated to this may pose a huge issue.

I am interested to see how this all plays out at the convention though. I would hope since Joe just endorsed her as his replacement his delegates would honor that request but one never knows.

I think where people may be underestimating her is her background as a prosecutor. She has played miss nice as her role as vice president but you don't get to be a successful prosecutor without having the ability to go after someone successfully. I guess we'll see as things unfold.

This isn't that hard at all. You know, I used to think your act was primarily to play dumb or just act like you can't follow along. At this point, I'm genuinely starting to worry.


This is a simple "if/then statement" you'll learn about these in third grade. I don't know when you'll get there, so I'll take one for the team.

IF Joe Biden quits THEN republicans would love to have Kamala the Kookaburra be the can'tdidate.


Here's a little helpful hint, because now you really have to put on your thinking cap.

Joey already quit so now the "IF" has come now pass... that makes the "THEN" turn into now.

I know this is all terribly confusing. Let me know if you need a more indepth look at performing these mental acrobatics.

It can't be worse than them continuing to run Biden. I know you're trying to be funny but....... yeah, no.

Aw.... you're trying to make some false claim even though people like Musk and Desantis along with trumps own advisors say otherwise. As per usual the fact you can't follow along is something you accuse others of. And you claim to be worried about someone else.

Damn, I tried.

Can someone else explain to Pit how people could have wanted Biden to stay in the race (you'll have to try to explain "tense" as I did above -- good luck)

BUT. NOW. THAT. HE. HAS. DROPPED. OUT. they are more than happy to face Kamala?

Oh man. 🤣

They would have rather have faced Joe. Since you obviously didn't bother to check, the comments they made were before Biden dropped out. They would rather have faced Joe than any possible replacement.

Anything other than that you claim I indicated is false.

It almost sounds like you're helping them set the stage that if Kamala wins they can claim trump won anyway. We've seen that movie before.

For the 2/3rds of biden voters that want him gone, can I ask why you didnt vote for Marianne Williamson just a,few short months ago? Nothing about Biden has changed since then.

Hey, if Democrats could get away with that at least we would have a really good president again!

Because most people didn't even have a clue who she was much less vote for her.

This is going to get ugly...

That sure doesn't sound like the point you were trying to make.

Yeah, it been an entire couple of hours and Obama has neither endorsed her nor not endorsed her. Of the humanity! lol

This is the last time. Literally. If you don't, or refuse to understand, I'll just put you on ignore. At that point, there is no sense in wasting my time....





ARE is present tense. That means NOW. If you post articles from BEFORE this moment, they may not necessarily apply.



That was THEN. Of course they wanted him to stay in the race, they were boat racing him.

But NOW. He is no longer the candidate. So now a bunch a different people could become the candidate. My comment is that NOW THAT JOE'S NOT RUNNING, republicans would love to see Kamala as the candidate.

So for them it was voting for the sake of voting and not taking the time to research a candidate when they had one they didnt like at the top. The never-trumpers are insufferable, but at least they have a principle guiding them. The 2/3rds are obviously party loyal lemmings.
