I don't think they will seek to remove him via the 25th Amendment. I think he will declare that he will not seek reelection, and then serve out his term, thus avoiding the laughably incompetent Kamala Harris.
And that's another thing I find satisfying about all of this- Harris' humiliation that no one, and I do mean no one, has considered or will consider her for POTUS. She Goddamn well has earned the humiliation, with her aloofness, idiocy and lack of seriousness about her position.
Whether or not Biden drops out, I'm fine either way. If President Two Scoops stays in, he'll get stomped. If the Dems nominate someone else, they can take the stomping. Whatever happens in the next few days, both Biden and Harris are done.

That does seem most likely now. It would provide the same advantage of allowing the nomination of a much more electable candidate as forcing him out of office, while avoiding a number of difficult complications and uncertainties for the Democrats.

And then that candidate can choose their VP, and that gets the disgustingly stupid, useless and annoying Kamala Harris out of the picture.

Spot on summary Para.
What a lot of folks don't realize is that invoking the 25th Amend installs Harris as President. No one, not even the Dems, want to see her in the Oval Office. So, the 25th looks to be a non-starter. Plus, I would trust that the Republicans would vote "No", just kick back and say "Nah. We're good."
Another aspect that makes the Democrats misery all the more enjoyable is that they need Harris to cooperate in getting Biden to step down. But, I've read that she's already furious that she's not even being mentioned next to Newsom or Whitmer as a Biden replacement. So, getting her cooperation doesn't seem likely.

Interesting discussion, and you guys are way ahead of the political talking heads... who appear to honestly have just realized Biden has dementia. Biden will not step aside... I do not see that happening. Biden has a very basic, predictable personality and I can almost guarantee that if the decision is truly his own, he'll stay in the race. Regardless, Trump is poised to pull off the greatest political comeback in the history of the Republic. Truly amazing what Trump is doing against all odds and really a testament to the good sense and fairness of the American voters. A last-minute abandonment of Biden does kind of expose the men behind the curtain... very risky move for the cabal.

Somebody 'splained the debate to me:
quote:
Trump was lying, lying, lying. Biden is a nice guy and was trying to figure out how to respond to Trump's lies without getting down in the mud with him, which caused Biden to lose his train of thought. It happens to all of us at times.
Now I understand.

One of my music friends 'splained it to me this way: " Just a thought... Maybe it's a plan. Maybe good guy Biden will be re elected and then he will step down and Kamala will step up? Cuz no way will they elect a black woman for President. I can dream cant I?"
Her previous comment about the debate was she'd vote candidate who speaks the truth with difficulty over the one who clearly enunciates his lies.
TDS is real and lives on.

Totally agree! I couldn't be happier at the way things are going right now for President Depends and the Dems. And the fact that they currently only have Kackling Kunty Kamala to fall back on is beyond hilarious to me!
