Joe Biden to suspend his re-election campaign
In the face of increasing pressure from the Democrats, as well as questions regarding his abilities, Joe Biden said that he will suspend his 2024 re-election bid. Biden declared that it had been an honor to serve as president. He also stated that it was in the best interests of the Democratic Party and of the country for him to stand down. He will focus on his duties for the remainder of his term. Biden will formally address the nation later this week.
From Fox News:
President Biden announced Sunday that he will suspend his 2024 re-election campaign amid mounting pressure from his Democratic colleagues on Capitol Hill, top donors and Hollywood stars after a disastrous debate performance last month.
The unprecedented announcement came as an increasing number of Democrat lawmakers had begun to publicly call for Biden to step aside and the party’s leadership reportedly was engaged in efforts to convince Biden, 81, he could not win in November’s general election against former President Trump, the 2024 GOP nominee who Biden defeated four years ago to win the White House.
“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your president,” Biden wrote in a public letter. “While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interests of my party and the country for me to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term.”
Biden said he will formally address the nation later this week about his decision.
“For now, let me express my deepest gratitude to all those who have worked so hard to see me reelected,” Biden wrote. “I want to thank Vice President Kamala Harris for being an extraordinary partner in all this work. And let me express my heartfelt appreciation to the American people for the faith and trust you have placed in me.”
Biden added: “I believe today what I always have: that there is nothing America can’t do — when we do it together. We just have to remember we are the United States of America.”

the vp going to run???
Joe Biden endorsed her on X:
Who will kamala pick as her running mate. I can imagine Hillary, and then kamala mysteriously choking on something.
Dammit Odie!
I spewed my coke on that one.. I think Kamala is too much of a pro to choke on…. ooh, wait, that wasn’t what you were talking about????
Boff you MFKers …. Good thing I wasn’t drinking or eating. I know it is yeah I have one too😲🫵😅🖕🖕🖕
Wow, if that’s the BEST decision he made….
In case anyone was wondering that photo is more than three years old. May as well end the presidency on a fraud, Just like it began.

Biden hasn’t been able to walk that well for two years.
Consistency is key.
Hollywood ‘stars’ have doubles (actors who closely resemble them to act in scenes of little significance). Dare we guess how many substitutes are running our country instead of Biden? Will the REAL Biden ever be seen again? Is he alive? Rumors are flying!
In theory she now takes his place at the convention as the votes were not just for Biden but the Biden Harris ticket.
And the $280 million campaign fund can only be used by her and Biden.
That would put the ticket way behind money wise.
There is also the racial issue to consider. Replace Biden with some white governor over the black female VP? Not a good look.
Replace Biden with a white governor over black female VP? The dems are beyond what’s best for the country, and are afraid of offending someone for feelings.
Yep.
She will go ape shit if that happens. Race card…..
Also, with Vance’s wife’s background, she will have a tough time playing the same race card in the general election.
Vance’s wife doesn’t matter, Trump’s gonna deport her anyway. At least that’s what the Dems say.
Funny.
They can’t replace Kamala. Replacing her would say she’s not qualified to be president, and therefore was not qualified to be president. We all know that’s absolutely true, but the dems admitting that would be political hari-kiri.
By replacing Biden they are saying he isn’t qualified to be president, but he isn’t resigning.
Dems aren’t going to replace kamala. They will let Trump do it during the debate and be secretly happy about it, but publicly rake Trump over the coals for hatred of women of color. Raycisss.
Whoopi’?
Kamaltoe doesn’t stand a chance. She’s already proven to be more useless than tits on a tranny.
I prefer more useless than Anne Frank’s drum set.
🤣🤣🤣
More useless than foam rubber lips on a Woodpecker!
Biden was quoted as saying; “They said I could have ice cream and a nap now”.
In fact it is National Ice Cream Day (fwiw).
Got my Tillamook and root beer. Root beer floats for dessert after burgers and brats.
I’m on my way!
Joe leaves with dignity and respect, his legacy intact! Also a multimillion dollar golden parachute and immunity for friends and family.
Yes, but a lifetime relying on the USSS to keep him safe.
He has seen too much, even if he can’t remember it all at any given time.
Plus side, there is now legal precedent to impeach a no-longer-sitting President.
I doubt he’ll make it to 2026.
Should be temporarily duty for them. For “Dr.” Jill and Fuckup Jr., however…
Apparently lifetime USSS detail isn’t the same for former presidents as it is for sitting presidents. I believe that came out in the past week, but not sure where I read it.
The biggest difference is the slopes. Current presidents get full protection from angled roofs, but former presidents’ security details are halted by a very shallowly sloping single-story roof.
10 degrees of separation?
I think we just saw an example of that on July 13. But to an even lesser extent if the USSS is trying to facilitate an assassination.
Dat first part was funny Ed!
The parachute / immunity isn’t so funny, but very true..
Bet he’s hoping that Hunters cases are all wrapped up before Jan so he can pardon him…
The don’t need to be wrapped up first. He can be pardoned now if he wishes to do so. If Brandon did it now, he would save about a million in legal fees. Although, the Biden’s are well known for stiffing people who do work for them.
Plus he still has time to pardon his crackhead son.
Someone mentioned Hillary as a possible replacement candidate, and ol’ Brandon realized he’d never make it to Election Day.
The first correct decision he’s made in a 50-year political career: Live an extra five minutes rather than attempt to extend the worst presidency in United States history.
It would be amusing to see Hilary lose a 2nd time…
Her head would literally explode. Last time anybody saw Bill was shortly before that cartoon exit cutout appeared in that wall.
Are you really sure Joe made the decision?
It was either that or release the FBI evidence collected from the Hunter Biden investigation from all of his other phones and accounts.
The “Humpty-Dumpty” technique.
I didn’t have 1968 Contested DNC in Shitcago Redux on my bingo card!
LFG!
We will soon see who has/had what on their bingo cards. Anybody care to predict or should that be saved for another column.
Antifa may insist.
Chicago should bring back the baby-blue helmets, just for a nostalgic touch.
They were quite sharp were they not?
I was 5 during this spectacle, remember it like it was yesterday.
I predict a minimum of one VBIED or SVEST, You know just to show support for Gaza.
You know Antifa…
State is desperately trying to blackmail Netanyahu with the families of hostages to get them to stop the war before the convention. I’d say it is likely too late for that.
I was approaching my 10th birthday when that happened in Chicago (I lived there too). Remember it well.
“He will focus on his duties for the remainder of his term.”
Will it continue to be a Trump/Republican free fire zone (of words) now that he is not worried about being reelected?
He was slurring again, he meant doodies.
At least he wasn’t whispering.
Well, the dems are screwed:
Yep.
Editor: I missed the down turned arrow, can that be removed?
Sorry, I’m a little confused. Do you mean a down vote?
Of course.
Also, FKH!
Bigly.
Great. Time to learn new FJB, FKH type shorthand.
I’m still not taking the FJB sticker off my jeep until he’s out of office.
I would keep it for the nostalgia.
Good. FJB.
If he’s wondering what he’s going to do since he’s not going to get a second term, he can always learn to code.
FKH as well.
He has a lot of skills. Lifeguard, long haul trucker, college professor, top notch lawyer, auto industry something or other.
He could Pastor almost any Christian church, Rabbinical scholar, Perto Rican lothario.
No matter where he goes he would be a diversity hire.
Protested with Nelson Mandela too
And he kicked Corn Pop’s ass.
“Feeble Joe” Biden has claimed to have been EVERYTHING except an albino Puerto Rican Woman named Rika Yamato!
Are you sure about that?
It’s still early.
Planting corn on his plantation.
He can spend his time helping Hunter sell those paintings. Maybe a 02:30 infomercial on one of the lesser cable channels. The paintings should only increase in value now that Joe Biden has taken the unpresidented (see what Hack did there?) step of withdrawing from the campaign. Investing in a Hunter Biden is as safe as limited edition Franklin Mint Commemorative Plates.
Or the 24K Gold-plated $50 American Gold Buffalo Indian Tribute Coin– only $14.95 each (comes with free ShamWow) order today!
Or plant corn…
Never underestimate the Democrats ability to pull victory from the jaws of defeat.
Never underestimate the Republicans ability to pull defeat from the jaws of victory.
We are in completely uncharted territory here. Biden had zero chance of winning the election, but no presumptive nominee has ever quit before. I’m scratching my head thinking of somebody that could replace him and do a better job, but I can’t think of anybody. Somebody has a plan, It may not be a good one but there’s one out there.
The Democrats have run feebles before. Wilson and FDR come to mind.
“This is according to plans, comrades”, sayeth AOCrazee. They’ll finish destroying the dwindling middle of the demorat party, so they can declare the party the Democrat Socialist Party. They’ll finally be able to join their fellow crazees and come out.
I hope you’re not correct.
The other side says that, too, in reverse. I always marvel at how stupid the Democrats can be.
I’m not sure Biden stepping down was the best move for the Democrats, but it’s not like they had good options. That said, if Harris -the likely Presidential candidate- can have an iota of sense, and run with an atypical VP, I can see her capitalizing on what I feel as an error in the Trump campaign of going with Vance.
Hell, I’d be for a (sane) Republican VP to run with her. Or an apolitical senior military type, like McRaven or Mattis. Someone to shore up her lack of experience.
Vance was not an error. It was doubling down.
It will be Michelle if the poll numbers support it. Otherwise they will go with Vance Ultralight (Manchin). Anybody else and they will get creamed.
Mansion says it definitely isn’t him. Which means he knows who it is, but he isn’t saying.
Still in play.
Pretty much.
You’d think if the Democrats had a magical ability to rig the election, the spooky, unnamed people that apparently control Biden would keep him exactly where he is, so they can keep controlling him, no?
I don’t think Joe’s controllable anymore.
Nah, they wanna be able to claim electing the first black female, followed soon by her removal from office by means yet to be announced, with her VP pick moving into the big chair..
My money’s on… weird stuff can happen, just sayin’:
Hasta La Vista, Biden.
What is most telling about this “public letter” is the placing of “my party” ahead of “the country”. Now we all know that shufflin’ joe didn’t write this, it was written for him. Hell, he may not even realize yet that he has dropped out of the “race”. It is also telling that some of the most despicable, slimey, back stabbing, oxygen thieves that ever walked this Earth have gone balls deep, endorsing a known whore to be (s)elected as the standard bearer of what is known to be the domestic enemies of Our Republic. Wonder if The Demonratic National Commies got custody of the “We have put together I think the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.” shufflin’ joe had.
Been telling folks for awhile now things are gonna get lit…and telling them to…Prepare
Don’t worry about all that. I just want to have the confidence to know if she will continue to do the great job at the border that she’s been doing the last 3 years. She should definitely run on her record.
You mean she’s gonna fuck her way alllll the way to the top?
She only has to swallow one more. I’ll give you hint whose:
http://youtu.be/CqeyNqqlY58?feature=shared
Big Mike?
She’s been fucking all of us nonstop since January 20, 2021.
The DNC will be knives out.
If they are not careful, they will damage themselves further.
Not to mention it is still three weeks away. Valuable time…..
Kam and Hil- Cackles and Cankles 2024!
You saw it here first.
*grin*
If true and kameltoe wins, Hildebeast will be in the White House after K chokes to to death on a dick.
She might not have the ability to choke. Too much experience.
She didn’t get to where she’s at by being a hack tuah type girl.
No gag reflex.
Jus’ sayin’…
Statement from The Klitoon Krime Kartel..
“In a statement, the Clintons said Biden “has capped his extraordinary career of service with a Presidency that has lifted America out of an unprecedented pandemic, created millions of new jobs, rebuilt a battered economy, strengthened our democracy, and restored our standing in the world. By any measure, he has advanced our founders’ charge to build a more perfect union and his own stated goal of restoring the soul of our nation.”
How in the phuque can they say that kinda sh*t with a straight face? I guess when you have untold millions in ill gotten gains stashed in an offshore account and people know you will take them out if they cross you, the last 4 years have been pretty good.
I couldn’t read too much more with throwing up on my ‘putor. Here’s the Fox linky for those with a stronger stomach.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/clintons-endorse-kamala-harris-hours-after-biden-drops-out
It looks to me like Kameltoe Harris has pledged her undying loyalty and obedience to the Clinton Crime family along with the rest of the ultra-rich elite whose goal is to have the USA ruled by an Oligarchy like Russia is these days.
Where’s the little trademark sign. I seem to recall a few people here telling how they make it.
Somewhere, Trump smiles.
Many of us are.
yup
Oh God, bless ‘merica…I love our country and I’m scared!
Too funny. The kackles memes are out already, and summer isn’t even over.
Might need a special edition Boomers Monday just for them???
True that.
Okay, let’s look at the landmark accomplishments made by Kamala Harris, …
*white noise, crickets, …*
She’s gotten farther on her knees than any woman in history??
Though Petey Booty-judge is a close second…
Her record as border czar border is historic and probably beyond future challenge.
I can’t wait to see the coming shitshow for the D-rats. Popcorn? Nachos? Ooooh, the Schadenfreude!
Interesting how just 3 weeks ago the White House and the media were selling the lie that Biden’s deteriorating mental acuity and wandering were fake, and now they can’t wait to get rid of him for all the same reasons.
FJB and FKH.
But the sad thing is that the useful idiots of the party don’t mind being lied to at all, they just keep swallowing whatever the demonrats feed em. They’re that indoctrinated..
trust me, I already know, I have a mentally ill, I mean, liberal Sibling who is part of the leftist cult along with a First Cousin who is very well educated and yes, indoctrinated by the cult of the left.
All of my siblings are, so I avoid them like the plague. I can only imagine the stupidity they’ve been spouting since the assassination attempt, and I’m sure they’ve turned it up to 11 now..
Right. Avoidance has kept my blood pressure under control! It’s a miracle!
So do I, but a Berkeley ‘educated’ liberal niece who now happens to be a social worker in Baltimore. A match made in heaven? Lawdy!
Interesting that the lame stream media and all the demoRat pols kept saying that Herr bide is in top shape and nothing wrong with him physicaly and mentaly then out of the blue, they want him out and not run. WTF is going on????? I also came to the delusion that they don’t want him to debate President Trump but President Trump according to these peeps, he is unfit to be President. WTF is going on. I hope the word Delusion isn’t copywrited by the late Dead End Kid
Leo Gorcey, AKA Slip Mahoney.
They should bring back the bowery boys. Not a remake but the originals
I’m currently trapped in the Jackson Hole Wyoming airport, the progressive epicenter of the state. The floor is slick with liberal tears and they’ve turned off the news over the bar. Meanwhile, I’m crying happy tears in my Snake River Lager. Turned out to be a good day after all!
Has anybody asked you why you’re smiling?
Surprisingly, no.
Sounds like a good time to sport a “MAGA” ball cap and really make them go apeshit!
Zing.
Ooh, *POW!*, right in the kisser!!! 😀😀😀
Interesting that Commissar hasn’t showed up with his words of wisdom.. he couldn’t resist when President Trump got shot, but maybe he got his feelings hurt too much that time…
He doesn’t have the balls.
He is updating his mother’s (2) bumper stickers.
He can’t stand his mom, she was a cocktail waitress who abandoned him (his words) . But he does have illegal guns he keeps outside of Kalifornia. His words again.
Does he even know who his dad is? Does his mom? Stuff like that is probably responsible for his self loathing, and closet homosexuality..
I think he has a new sock puppet. He is shifting from aggressive behavior to passive/ aggressive.
He would not be able to live independently. Assisted living facilities are ideal for people with his stage of dementia.
Lucky for him DOKTOR Jill can afford live-in care providers–the FBI.
Not mentally capable for serving the next 4 1/2 years, but perfectly fine to ride out the next six months. What crap.
Joe Biden handing Kamala Harris the 2024 Democrat Presidential Campaign ranks right up with Adolf Hitler passing the torch to Admiral Donitz, and will be just as successful.
Well that would make Hillary Himmler or Goehring, hope she has the glass capsule also.
She flee to Haiti on a submarine and set up a shadow government.
Well,, BYE!!!!
I’m sure we’ll be hearing from Mike Obama soon!!!!
It’s begun. And the body wasn’t even cold yet.

Van Jones was crying like a little b**** on the air. It was hilarious.
He can join crybaby Adam Kinzinger.
Doesn’t anyone find it odd he didn’t release this important news via the official POTUS letterhead
With signature
Instead we got a personal letterhead with a digital signature
There is more going on here then meets the eye
Is the body still warm?
I wonder how much ice cream they had to bribe him with?
But the second debate with Donald Trump in September is still on, isn’t it? Donald Trump needs to make Joe Biden’s day, again.
FJB tried to act tough with challenging Trump to debating him, and he got crushed. Absolute loser:
https://youtu.be/O3o9eqO8G3I?si=v6diIaiqX02hpXOU
The question becomes do they invoke the 25th Amendment to replace Biden regardless of who wins the election in November? or
Is this the only way they can get someone on the ballot in the State that had a deadline of before the convention to name a candidate?
Notice he says best thing for his Party before best for the country.
Question for Harris. You’ve been the border czar since 2021, what specific steps have you taken to resolve the issues in the intervening three years?
So Biden crowning his successor vice the results of the Primary voters is not a threat to Democracy?
Well, this is going to be awkward. 😜🤪😭
