Joe Biden gave a confused address at the White House on Wednesday evening that was supposed to address why he dropped out of the 2024 presidential race. Instead, he had so little respect for the American people he didn't even lay out the specific reason, saying only that he dropped out to unite the party and "save democracy." So basically he was admitting this was an effort to increase their chances in the election. It was a cynical attack on democracy, throwing the votes of millions of Americans under the bus. He tried to convince us he was "saving democracy" by ultimately caving to the attack on democracy.
During the speech, the first thing that struck me immediately was his pupils looked dilated and he was badly slurring, even for him. He said he decided the best way forward was to "pass the torch to a new generation." Um, no, you aren't a king and you don't get to decide who takes over. The Democrats left him in there during the primary, telling everyone that he was fine and the best option. But then, once everyone voted for him and they realized they were going to lose, they wanted to swap him out — and in the meantime, Kamala Harris didn't have to face a primary for the position. So he thinks he can just crown her without a vote. Even BLM isn't buying that strategy.

But one of the things that I found striking about all this — besides the Democrats thinking they can put this over on us — was how stricken all the Bidens looked now that they were about to be booted from power, particularly Jill and Hunter. I don't have an ounce of sympathy for them after everything Joe put the country through. Their grip on power is swiftly coming to an end and they don't look at all happy. Now, that's a great thing.

The look on Jill's face in the following two pictures says it all — she's so upset.

But how did the media report on all this manipulation?
Let's check out Robert Costa of CBS.
A powerful photo. The hand toward his father’s face. The eyes. Put aside politics and everything related for a moment, and viewed simply on a human level, you see two men, father and son, still at each other’s side, more than a half-century since the darkness of Dec. 18, 1972. pic.twitter.com/36DcS8rFgs

Gah — several words come to mind: cringe, bootlicking, simpering. Where's the holding power accountable for throwing the votes of the people under the bus? Where are the questions about the money and the alleged influence peddling? What an example of why people no longer trust the media.
Jill Biden did have some final thoughts that she put out in a letter.
To those who never wavered, to those who refused to doubt, to those who always believed, my heart is full of gratitude.

Thank you for the trust you put in Joe—now it’s time to put that trust in Kamala.
Love,

Oh, and all you folks who pushed Joe out? I'll just not acknowledge you at all because we only acknowledge those who support the narrative. Even in these brief words, it's clear she's really upset that they're being shown the door. What was there to believe in when Biden so harmed the American people with his actions? That Kamala went along with all that is reason alone not to vote for her, in addition to the fact that she's a poor candidate all on her own. But now Jill is going to have to learn how to cope without being in the limelight, and no one is more deserving of that fall from power.
