About 3 weeks ago, the media told you that Biden was "sharp as a tack" A few days days ago, the poor guy was basically forced at gunpoint to resign as Dem nominee. His staff weren't even informed. Now they say Kamala is the best thing ever. Because "democracy", right?
Notice how all the lib douchebags have nothing more to say now that the coup against Joe Biden has succeeded and Kackala has been installed and being rammed down their throats and they realize all the "democracy" they thought they were all about is just utter nonsense?

When Black Lives Matter starts making sense, you know You've turned a corner: "We do not live in a dictatorship. Delegates are not oligarchs. Installing Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee and an unknown vice president without any public voting process would make the modern Democratic Party a party of hypocrites." - Black Lives Matter
Democrat voters are so dumb, they're actually giddy because their vote was erased and a handful of the rich, insider, elitist snobs chose their candidate for them. You really can't get any dumber than this.
24 hours on and all we get from Joe Biden is that stupid post on X? What a coward these Dems are. Take your medicine, creepy Joe.
One thing's for sure: President Trump beat Joe Biden once again today.
