This whole thing will blow over as Joe's mental capacities continue to improve heading into november

The September debate will just be him showing the audience a randomized Rubik's cube, putting it below the podium, and 2 seconds later revealing a solved Rubik's cube.

No way he can grab the solved cube under the podium that fast

He'd need a handler inside the podium handing him the right one

It will be a younger man's hand poking up from under the podium holding the Rubik's cube.

The graph is referring to Michelle Obama, but yeah. If Copmala is semi-competent Biden would've stepped down. They ran multiple Kamala vs. Trump poll and she's getting crushed https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/president/general/2024/trump-vs-harris

She super doesn't want to be president LMAO. She's seen what it's like, and she's enjoying all the benefits of being political royalty already.

Here’s how Biden can still win:

  1. Rig the election blatantly and without regards for optics, cling on to the throne by any means necessary.
  2. Start a 9/11-level incident, preferably an international incident far from home, like exploding a tactical nuke or a dirty bomb and blame it on Russia or someone. Use the international incident as a national security threat to push endless fearmongering into the public consciousness: “Do you want Donald Trump to protect you when America is under attack? Trump wants to let Putin nuke the whole world!”
  3. Pull a Chen Shui-bian, preferably a deranged MAGA gun nut who hates the “Biden crime family”, use the incident and sympathy to call upon the upstanding American citizens to “stop MAGA fascism from destroying our democracy and civil society”.
