Trump will play out his legal and illegal cards if he loses and it these don't work will use his money to run.

The party showed their respect sending Joe off with a late night speech after many of the delegates had left.
He ended his career with a speech full of lies.
They just revised the jobs numbers down by 1,000,000.

Speaking of lies, the job numbers have not been revised down yet and definitely not by 1 million.

Is that all you have? Just lies?

Don't be like that... it's the hot talking point of the morning. At least until the damage reports come in from Chicago.

He ended his career having saved democracy and protecting this country from a traitor.

He ended his career shielding us from you and your guy.

"full of lies"
Lies? Since when do you care if anyone lies? You worship the single biggest massive liar in our history. You lick his aas ever chance you get. You have no right and no business to accuse anyone else of lying. You lost that right a long time ago, cult member.

Saving democracy by an anti-democratic primary in 2020 and 2024 followed by an anti-democratic coup. The party of using lawfare to keep Stein and Kennedy off the current ballot and installing Hillary and Joe instead of Bernie.

You have no understanding of primaries or the way our system works. None. You demonstrate it daily.

Saving democracy

#8 | POSTED BY VISITOR

From Donald Trump, a man with the worst kind of mental illness and no identifiable American values.

He was, and is, a sick man. You were, and are, a sick man for not conceding this.

"Saving democracy by an anti-democratic primary in 2020 and 2024 followed by an anti-democratic coup."

Don't cry baby!

It was well within the rules of democracy. But a pootin puppy like yerself would not and could not understand that. And because you don't understand democracy (and it doesn't work for you) then you want to undermine and destroy it.

You maga maroons actually think that hugging a flag shows how "patriotic" you are.

It actually showed me what miserable scoundrels you are.

Only one person in the race is a felon convicted of LYING on business records, been indicted for lying about returning stolen classified documents, lied about being shot in the ear and tried to overthrow our democratic process through the big lie.

Reporter: Mr Trump, you have told so many lies. Which one is your favorite?

Trump: I never lie.

Reporter: Yes, that's one of my favorites too.

#9 The Democrat primary system works as it always has. Back room deals with the oligarchs and party royalty the party approved candidate and then a "show election". This time we had the "show election/selection" but then we had a coup and different candidate was selected.

There was no coup you moron.
you can't simultaneously claim "democracy" and then acknowledge the history of primaries.
Had the Democrats already held their convention then you *might* have an argument you could make.
They didn't and you don't.

Unlike republicants who finally got tired of democracy not working for them anymore and tried to overthrow it on Jan 6th 2021.

Hey VISITOR Putin has invited those who are struggling under democratic governments to emigrate to Russia. Why dont you join Alex Jones there, I'll pay to help you pack. I'll even sponsor a go-fund-me for your one-way ticket to Moscow. You are obviously miserable here, you need a new start in a country where you'll never have to worry about voting again.

Biden will go down in history as he should - as the lowest IQ president of all time, prone to lying and corruption, with a degenerate family, and a broken brain to the point that everyone knows that he was not in control of the country for a majority of his term.

And that is just on the personal side.

He will also be remembered for encouraging massive illegal immigration, the Afghan pull-out debacle, out of control inflation, and a complete loss of trust in the government's own reporting on anything from health guidelines to economic data.

The guy most happy about Biden is Jimmy Carter as he will not longer be known as the worse president in history.

At least for Carter (who shared many of the economic and military failings of Biden), he is at least a decent and honorable man. Biden can't even raise a dog not to bite people - no one should be surprised his kids are degenerate drug and sex addicts and he destroyed the country.

Twenty thousand dead children. That's Biden's legacy.

Standing with mass killers of children,...too dumb and morally complacent to grasp the depth of his involvement.

Just another Zioshill. Just another coward afraid to buck conventional politics. Too set in his ways and out of touch to set limits on military aid for Israel.

He will not be missed.

Good point I should have included vs. Carter.

Carter built houses through Habitat for Humanity - Biden blows them up through military aid to Israel.

Truly a garbage human being.

Good for both of them. Hamas can release the hostages and surrender. They're just milking public opinion using civilians shields at this point.

No they are not doing that. They are just not Surrendering, which is Not the Same Thing.

Collective Punishment is a War Crime, clearly illegal no matter who does it for whatever reason.

Hamas's behavior is irrelevant the onus is on Israel to conduct a proportionate campaign against Hamas, which they cleary are NOT.

They are waging a war of Annihilation against Palestinian Civilians.

If Israel attacked without US diplomatic cover and without US taxpayer money, I really don't care what they do any more than anyone cares what China does with the Uyghurs. That said, it is our money and it is our diplomatic cover.

Joe Biden missed his chance to make history at the DNC. Since his political career is finished, he could have used his time to "thank all my fellow Democrats many who I have known and worked with for many, many years for stabbing me in the back and kicking me to the curb like a piece of garbage" To all of them I say "go f--- yourselves!!!!!!!!!!!!

Biden is a classic case on the left of failing upward. He's a corrupt politician who uses the power of the federal government to persecute his political opponents. He rout Roy flouts the Constitution in naked power grabs. Opening it he southern border the way he has is borderline treasonous. On top of all of that he's a mentally compromised president who has no business being in his position.

Open question: why was he forced out?

It joins "Kamala is a drunk" and "Kamala is a whore".

You're scared to death, and should be. People see through you and Trump. Only the most vicious among us will be voting for him or you.

Laws don't apply to Donald Trump.

And Biden is the most corrupt ever even if you can't find any evidence anywhere that he did anything wrong.

Now go play with your toys, you sad little man.

By Fixed News of course.

I am beginning to think it was his plan all along.

It is well known (extensively reported!) that Biden did not want to run in the first place.

He ran (it was extensively reported) because of what he saw in Charlottesville Va and Trumpy's KKKooky "good people on both sides" response.
