As long as Biden has a pulse he'll continue to be useful to those who are actually running the country.
Not if he loses the election.

Yeah the time factor could be a barrier, but I think the point is moot.  Harris would need to pick someone from the midwest or maybe North Carolina.

It would be "fun" if the President and VP ended up from different parties.
And I’m guessing the pool would be limited by people who don’t want to take an L to limit their political future.

I don’t think the outgoing NC Governor has enough juice to swing the state. But he is termed out, and a VP run could set him up for a Senate run down the line.

Biden has never had the metal capacity to be president.  VP Harris should invoke the 25th Amendment.  But she's so well liked she'd likely lose the vote by the Cabinet unless the Democrat elite support her which I doubt they will.  Quite the shit show brewing.

I think politically to invoke 25A would be disastrous, and unsuccessful.  It's not a viable option at this point.  The only realistic option is for someone to really talk Joe out of running, and that is starting to look unlikely.  Now, he will be under a microscope from here for any further, um, failings, his gaffes and mumbles will be covered by the media as well as his "lack of visibility", if that happens.  

I don't think he's going to drop out at this point.  He might have to in a couple weeks, or months, if he again looks so infirm that most Democrats turn on him.

the Dems that want him out should schedule some live press conferences

2024 General Election: Trump vs. Biden Polls | RealClearPolling

Bigger swing than I expected post debate.  And these are of course national polls which favor the Democrat because states like CA and NY are included but don't really "count".

It's funny, I posted that RCP link above on FB and it was immediately removed with a warning to me.  It's just "information" so far as I can see.

I almost never have had this happen on FB, maybe once before.

So, they are still carrying the DNC's water.

I just re-joined Book Face for the first time since January 2021. I might have to bail again.

bingo. and to be fair, it's not just Biden, it's been most of them. they have donors and military/intelligence/defense establishment they are beholden to. very few of them actually run the entire show. 

JFK tried taking on the CIA and the military industrial complex that Eisenhower warned about on his way out of office- and he got his brains blown out of his f**cking skull for it.

Facebook is a cesspool of boomers arguing over sh*t that none of them know jacksh*t about in the first place. It's ridiculous. And kind of insane because it was started by some nerdy virgin in his dorm room in college and was designed for young people to connect and chat- now it's morphed into some weird shit where grandpas, grandmas, great uncles, and great aunts argue over political bullsh*t, like everything else in this country, boomers f**cking destroyed it. gotta love them. worst. generation. ever.

I think it tripped some algorithm, I don't have any clue why.  I see rather vitriolic posts about Biden all the time.  They offered an appeal mechanism, not that I especially care.  I find FB "entertaining".

Parkinson's disease is often accompanied by these additional problems, which may be treatable:
  • Thinking difficulties. You may experience cognitive problems, such as dementia, and thinking difficulties. These usually occur in the later stages of Parkinson's disease. Such cognitive problems aren't usually helped by medicines.
  • Depression and emotional changes. You may experience depression, sometimes in the very early stages. Receiving treatment for depression can make it easier to handle the other challenges of Parkinson's disease.
    You also may experience other emotional changes, such as fear, anxiety or loss of motivation. Your health care team may give you medicine to treat these symptoms.
  • Swallowing problems. You may develop difficulties with swallowing as your condition progresses. Saliva may accumulate in your mouth due to slowed swallowing, leading to drooling.
  • Chewing and eating problems. Late-stage Parkinson's disease affects the muscles in the mouth, making chewing difficult. This can lead to choking and poor nutrition.
  • Sleep problems and sleep disorders. People with Parkinson's disease often have sleep problems, including waking up frequently throughout the night, waking up early or falling asleep during the day.
    People also may experience rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder, which involves acting out dreams. Medicines may improve your sleep.
  • Bladder problems. Parkinson's disease may cause bladder problems, including being unable to control urine or having difficulty in urinating.
  • Constipation. Many people with Parkinson's disease develop constipation, mainly due to a slower digestive tract.
