Biden’s ugly debate performance sparks full-fledged Dem civil war — get your popcorn
CNN’s Jake Tapper, usually a full-time Trump basher, accused the White House and Biden campaign of using Orwellian tactics to silence dissent.

The hottest political show of the moment is one Americans haven’t seen for decades: Democrats behaving like Republicans.
Suddenly, members of the party with a recent habit of sticking together are engaged in a circular firing squad.
The insults, name-calling and nasty exchanges echo the way the GOP has squandered its House majority.
The Dem civil war involves even bigger stakes, of course, because it was sparked by President Biden’s debate debacle.
It was so bad that lawmakers and donors are growing increasingly bold in publicly demanding that Biden withdraw from the race.
What to know about the fallout from President Biden's debate performance:
President Biden’s poor performance in the first 2024 presidential debate has left even some Democrats unsure of his fitness for office and future as the party’s candidate.
- Former President Obama admitted that Biden had a “bad” debate, while his rival former President Trump suggested that he was in a “trance” and “choked.”
- Biden told a crowd at a North Carolina rally the day after the debate that he doesn’t “debate as well as I used to” — but insisted that he can still “do this job.”
- The New York Times editorial board called on the president to serve the country by dropping out of the race. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution published a similar editorial a day later.
- Biden gathered with his family to assess the campaign’s future at Camp David, with his son Hunter reportedly pushing for him to stay in the race. Family members questioned if the president’s top advisors should be fired after the disastrous debate.
- Legendary journalist Carl Bernstein revealed that sources close to Biden have witnessed as many as 20 episodes of cognitive decline in the past year.
- Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) became the first House Democrat to call on Biden to drop out.
Politico separately reports that Biden has become more difficult to deal with in routine matters, and that briefings are constructed to please him and avoid his tantrums.
“It’s like, ‘You can’t include that, that will set him off,’ or ‘Put that in, he likes that,’ ” a source identified only as a senior administration official reportedly said.
It added that Biden refuses to take advice from anyone outside a small inner circle and is becoming increasingly isolated.

Real threat to democracy
Still, Biden’s comments are a reminder that he was no bystander in the case, or any of the others brought against Trump by Dem prosecutors.
In April 2022, The New York Times reported that Biden told aides he was frustrated that Attorney General Merrick Garland had not prosecuted his predecessor — and future opponent — on the Capitol riot.
Within months, Garland appointed a special prosecutor, who obtained two federal indictments against Trump, including the one most affected by the Supreme Court ruling.
The Dems’ claim that Trump is a threat to democracy was always a fig leaf to hide that they were the ones playing by banana republic rules.
And now the sordid conspiracy appears to be unraveling.
Good riddance to it and, hopefully, to the president who authorized it.
And now Biden is furious, with the cases in jeopardy and his weaponization of the courts against his opponent collapsing.
Even the delay in the planned sentencing of Trump in the Manhattan show trial raises the chances that case will be overturned on appeal.
The significance of these developments cannot be overstated.
Commentary:
Now we learn that Biden's active hours in the White House are from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
Who is watching out for America from 4:01 PM to 9:59 AM?
B,b,b,b,b,b, but Biden had a bad night on June 27th,
We've been told he had a cold, he was over prepared, he was exhausted from his European trip, it goes on and on.
The entire fraud perpetrated by Biden, the Democratic Party, and of course the Quisling media is being exposed to the light of day, all of it driven by irrational fear and hate for one man who from 2017-2021 did none of the horrible things they are so insanely afraid of.
The real news story is this sustained, vicious attack by the media on a sitting Democratic president. This has not happened in nearly half a century. Why suddenly now?
Based upon current events, the responses by the First Lady Jill, his son Hunter and the reast of the family. Joe Biden may have secured his wealth, but he's a poor man in the world.
