While President Joe Biden’s staff polishes up his speech to the Democratic National Convention for Monday night, leading Democrats are now openly acknowledging that it was an actual coup that took him out of the running.
Maureen Dowd, writer and a leading voice for Democrats, admitted it in her column in the New York Times over the weekend:
“We head to Chicago on a wave of euphoria, exuberance, exultation, excitement and even, you might say, ecstasy,” she wrote. “It’s going to be a glorious coronation — except that everyone’s mad at one another.”
She goes on to reveal that the top Democrats are “bristling with resentments even as they are about to try to put on a united front at the United Center in the Windy City.”
Why? Because “A coterie of powerful Democrats maneuvered behind the scenes to push an incumbent president out of the race.”
Dowd, whose column appears behind the newspaper paywall, says it became obvious Biden was not going to be able to campaign, much less serve competently for another our years.
This is something that was obvious to conservatives for years, even before 2020.
“But at some point, when the polls cratered, Democratic mandarins decided to put the welfare of the party — and the country — ahead of the president’s ego, and stop catering to his self-regarding fantasy that he was the only one who could beat Donald Trump. Also, they all could know that Biden was slowing faster than he and his family and his inner circle were acknowledging,” Dowd wrote.
In one weekend, Biden went from looking “forward to getting back on the campaign trail” to having suffered the political coup at the hands of Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Hakeem Jeffries.
“And when Kamala Harris deftly cemented her position as the nominee, the party erupted in a dizzying sense of possibility,” Dowd wrote, fawningly.
“How could Biden not be hurt that the Democratic convention went from four days of ‘sitting shiva,’ as James Carville put it, to a joyful romp with Kamala atop the ticket?” Dowd asked. “Democrat after Democrat who had been close to Biden before conspiring to push him out had to confess to cable anchors that they had not been able to talk to the president, who was sulking in his tent.”
Dowd then acknowledged that the Democrats were whitewashing the coup by effusively praising Biden.
James Clyburn told news shows that Biden’s record is one “that no president of the United States could ever match.”
Nancy Pelosi proposed on CBS that Biden’s face should be carved onto Mount Rushmore.
“You have Teddy Roosevelt up there,” Pelosi said. “And he’s wonderful. I don’t say take him down. But you could add Biden.”
On Monday night, Biden will attempt to bring unity to the party that just conducted a coup against him. As he has so many times before, he will read the lines on the teleprompter. And pause meaningfully. His speech will be slurred and garbled. He’ll take his hero’s applause, and he’ll depart the stage before he becomes too befuddled to continue the charade.
In the end, it may become obvious to even the most ardent Biden devotee that he was unable to continue, and that the political coup was the only way forward.
What’s amazing is that if Plan B wins, they’ll say she’s just as awesome as Joe was, even after most of us will have suffered another 4 years of failed policy. But hey, they’ll say they saved democracy by being the most undemocratic bunch ever.
It is becoming more obvious that Trump is also not mentally capable to be President
Oh “ Frank”…
How so? Some examples?
Please list the instances where he was not mentally capable. I’ll wait.
“You can’t walk across the street to get a loaf of bread. You get shot, you get mugged, you get raped, you get whatever it may be,” Trump said on Tuesday during a visit to Howell, Michigan, while standing in front of two sheriffs. “You’ve seen it, and I’ve seen it.”
Trump calls Hurricane Florence ‘one of the wettest we’ve ever seen from the standpoint of water’
In reference to the January violent insurrection: “Nikki Haley, you know they, do you know they destroyed all of the information, all of the evidence, everything, deleted and destroyed all of it. All of it, because of lots of things like Nikki Haley is in charge of security. We offered her 10,000 people, soldiers, National Guard, whatever they want. They turned it down. They don’t want to talk about that. These are very dishonest people,” Trump said.
This list is very long Tamra
The comments you listed are not actually proof and you are taking singular comments out of context. Trump has always talked this way because he’s from NYC. Listen to the Elon/Trump Video or any of the Podcasts he has appeared on. It’s kind of amazing to see the brainwashing of Democrats and Trump haters. Our country is in peril from high inflation, high energy costs, open boarders, and regional wars. The Biden/HARRIS administration has sent more than $75B to Ukraine. That’s triple what the next country has sent and double what the EURO corporations have sent. Where are Harris’ Policies? What does she stand for except what’s already happening? Oh, I forgot she does stand for Food Price Control! Let’s go Communism and the way of Venezuela. Please do us all of favor…don’t vote and keep your head buried in the sand.
Orangeman Bad!
Biden was/is “the emperor with no clothes” for years. Only time will tell if the powerful elite will get to select a President with no votes.
Democrats don’t care who wears the suit, as long as they have the perceived power. They just need a figure head to ram their agenda through.
The hype behind Kamala is manufactured. She doesn’t go from the most unpopular VP to being on top overnight without the lame stream media propaganda machine.
Yelling is the only way he can overcome his diminished speaking ability, so he will be loud, angry, and aggressive. Wouldn’t it be interesting if he goes after the party insiders who ousted him?
I’m guessing the coup was a bit of carrot and stick. If Pelosi is 1/4 as ruthless as I think she is, she put in safeguards to keep Grandpa Bloodstains quiet. Like, say anything and we’ll investigate your family.
They knew this was coming, and they rigged the primary. You really have to shut your brain off to vote D this year.
And over 40% will. Happily.
Yep. Those who haven’t already shut it down years ago.
The real coup was making Harris-Walz the cemented in DNC nominees without any vetting by the rest of the DNC party and We the People. This coup was known to many months ago when potential presidential candidates should have been stepping forward to go through the campaign vetting process.
It is time for Americans to wake up and see that corrupt career politicians must be forced out of office for the good of this country. Wokeism, DEI, communism, socialism, indoctrination of youth, etc. etc. must end. There must be term limits for all House of Representatives and Senators, just like governors, president, etc.. All states must return to voter ID and count votes with transparency, i.e. ranked choice cheating must be banned in all states, just like it has been banned in Alabama. There must be campaign finance reform to include banning of political action committee (PAC) financing or dark money like Soros, etc.
Restore the Republic before America becomes like Venezuela.
Clyburn is right on one thing. Grandpa Bloodstains has a record no sane president could ever match. Or want to.
The left is admitting to the coop because they have determined there is no downside to doing so.
“……..Democratic mandarins decided to put the welfare of the party — and the country — ahead of the president’s ego………”
That’s a lie. They couldn’t give a rat’s tail about the welfare of the nation. It was all about their cabal and power.
A coup is defined as a “sudden, violent and unlawful seizure of power from a government.” What happened to bring Harris to the top of the ticket meets none of these criteria. MRAK is full of it.
Maureen Dowd / NYT’s headline said it: “The Dems Are Delighted. But a Coup Is Still a Coup.” Enjoy. – sd
Ah, I see Suzanne. So now you cite what you love to call “Legacy Media” as a reliable and quotable source when it serves your own biased narrative. Thanks for the clarification. Guess its better to rely on someone’s opinion rather than the actual definition, right?
Thank you for your comments. The story is about the Maureen Dowd column. The term I use at the end is “political coup.” Try to keep up and have a nice day. – sd
YOU used the term “political coup”, and at the start of the article you used the term “actual coup”, so which is it Suzanne?. Its not a matter of me “keeping up”, its that now you are spending your time exculpating. Thank you for your comments.
Off you go to troll camp, cman. – sd
Keep up the good work SD, except for a couple of the usual trolls we all appreciate it!!
They’re all coupcoup!
If J6 was an insurrection, then Biden was removed by coup.
Excellent pitch.
Tell me, cman, how many votes Kamala got in the primary. Tell me, cman, how many votes she has ever gotten in any primary.
NYT’s reporting, not MRAK. But go on, tell us more……..
The horse eye blinder allows horses to focus on what is directly ahead of them without distraction.
It makes them stay focused on one task only.
NYT is full of great info.
Do you ever reflect and admit anything could be amiss in the democratic paradise utopia? Defending to the bitter end, regardless of reality. George Orwell wrote a book about that “Animal Farm”.
It was a coup by some party elites, who knew for years that Biden was not mentally cut out for this job, but when it became blatantly obvious to all, he had to go.
Suddenly all of his delegates were Kamala’s delegates, it begs the question who decided that. So instead of holding an open primary for all to compete, she was anointed to wear the democrat crown. This from the party, who screams about the other side being the biggest “threat to democracy”…Please!
No one here needed the NYT to tell us that it was a coup!
Imagine screaming “Democracy is at stake” non stop for eight years, and then circumventing democracy to install a candidate that won zero primary votes.
On a brighter note, the DNC is offering free sterilizations at their convention. Absolutely love!
The Right loves to Maypole dance around a word like “coup” pointing fingers and squawking. In this case, it wasn’t a coup (despite Dowd) but a logical and thoughtful and well reasoned strategy to continue the good work of Biden Harris. The Right has been blindsided and stung and are desperate.
The left likes to dance around Insurrection when I have never seen an Insurrection without weapons in over six decades on this planet. Try and keep up SOY Boy’s. Try also using your actual name so we can see the Incompetence before it gets to us. I challenge anyone to a Face to Face debate if your Brave enough.
Mark and Jeff, speaking of a Maypole dance… everyone could plainly see since 2020 that your man China Joe had severe dementia, especially those at the top, within his own party.
Question, who is running the executive branch?
” The rank and file democrat voters have been disenfranchised and realize their party leaders are desperate”
There fixed it for you!
“continue the good work of Biden Harris.”
What good work was that?
“We head to Chicago on a wave of euphoria, exuberance, exultation, excitement and even, you might say, ecstasy…”
Wait a minute, I thought the word of the day is “joy”. Just what is going on here? Is this person stepping outside the lock-step march of the communist party?
A political vibrator, just like the real thing, offers only brief moments of ecstasy and joy.
Maureen is getting a bit nostalgic, don’t you think..
Terms of the coup was that Biden was to agree to not run again in exchange for him being allowed to finish his term. The net result for America is that we have a corrupt & brain addled fool running the country who will pardon all of his crime family and work on his ‘legacy’ while America is left rudderless with national security totally undermined. This is absolutely of no concern to democrats. It’s all about power and its retention.
let’s use the unlimited immunity just derived by the SCOTUS to resolve this problem. pardon the orange guy, repeal ObamaCare and bomb the Middle East. should make everyone happy. let’s go back to Roberts calling “balls and strikes”
the whole system is rotten, cobbled together with baling wire. let’s consider the alternatives, cult object 2025. worked with the 1998 NeoCon grift into the Iraq/Afghanistan war. talking about moving the goal posts
time to outlaw dark money, both political parties and just let th commies win. 25% voter turnout and gerrymandering is not going to run a viable country. thank god I’m rich. the poor slobs whine too much
All I see is democrats pushing war, enriching corporations and promoting racism while at the same time saying they are fighting against it. Treasonous liars is all they really are. What happened to democrat voters? They use to stand against war, racism, big pharmaceutical, corporations. The corporations that own the news networks, spoiled Hollywood elites, and warmongering politicians told them Trump was Hitler and they followed the narrative like sheep to the slaughter. What happened to the democrats? It is just crazy to see them supporting the very things they say they hate, all because the TV told them to hate. How can anyone be so blind?
