    2025 Biden refuses to accept the election results and doesn’t step down. Liberals do Jan 6.

      I hope soooo hard that libs do a jan 6th so they have to at least attempt to rectify their stance on the first one.

      They could be subjected to all the draconian laws they supported out of fear, it would be a full circle moment for BlueMaga, and it would just plain be funny

        Biden is saying it’s a mixture of being sleepy, jet lagged, and his advisers prepping him too hard for the debate. He did not mention a cold during his post-debate speeches.

        His press secretary is saying it’s jet lag and a cold but without any medication for it.

        Because they’re both lying it’s wildly inconsistent and changes daily.

            He only works from 11am to 4pm with a nap during that. He needs time to coordinate a proper response that isn’t just gaslighting us.

          his advisers prepping him too hard for the debate

          This is the one bit I think is true, and picked up on during thr debate itself as he garbled what we’re probably weirdly specific talking points together in the worst ways.

          But that’s not an out.

          That means that even with six days worth of practice he can’t learn and recall maybe two dozens facts and responses, with no ability whatsoever to think on his feet, or even the self awareness to realise to just avoid bit and give a generic answer.

          Forgetting isn’t the worst part. It happens to people with memory loss and dementia (although it should definitely rule younout of being president). Snippets of memories and ideas firing and being blurted out uncontrollably with no self-awareness or recognition that it’s gibberish the biggest fucking issue.

          A 95 year old neighbour with dementia that requires three times a day at home care, plus family every day, and me nost other days, is more together than that because they still know when they’ve lost what they were saying or forgotten who they’re talking to etc.

          The fact that advisors etc believed or were hoping they could prep around such a deteriorated mental state means they’re almost as delusional as he is, but the difference is they should know better.

      Superdelegates are the minority of overall delegates. They could easily tip the scales in a contested primary. But Biden had an overwhelming number of the regular delegates committed to him since he was the only candidate.

      Makes me wonder if anyone is kicking themselves for not running against him in the primary

    Funniest timeline is democrats split the vote, but Biden wins by a razor thin margin. Both Trump and anti-Biden democrats claim election fraud. Trump voters do another useless January 6, but anti-Biden democrats also include military officers and generals which result in an actual coup to dispose Biden
