Now that Biden is out, the RW attacks and conspiracy theories are blowing up

[Mad_Machine76]

Listening to WIBC FM in Indianapolis (which leans to the right) are now questioning the entire credibility of Biden's Presidency to date and think that people have been covering up Biden's health issues/concerns for all or most of his Presidency. Not saying that I agree with them but I hope we have a good response team and that nobody actually has been holding anything back. Does anybody think that people might care about this or is this basically all the Republicans/Trump have to fall back on? Some idiots like Mike Johnson are even trying to push Biden out NOW since he made his announcement, which is a complete non-starter for a myriad of reasons. Thoughts? Anything we should be worried about?

1. Of course Johnson wants Biden to resign. Biden cannot resign. It puts Johnson at number two in line to the presidency.

7. Mostly it would create more chaos and confusion and nonsense, which is his primary objective here. . . . nt

2. Is Joe Biden still planning to campaign this week?

Campaign against Trumpism and for his VP?

That would quiet a lot of this noise about the lack of adequate proof that Biden has even given up his candidacy.

8. Apparently tested positive, so another couple of days to recover...

I don't think he'll do a ton of campaigning, though he will undoubtedly support Ms Harris fully, including attending events and the convention.

He did state he wanted to focus on his presidential duties going forward. As the campaigns move forward, there won't be a lot of congressional action, of course, but there is still the international situation he needs to monitor and manage.

11. More interviews then. There's a vacuum right now.

A pre-recorded video address alone is not going to be sufficient.

15. Let him do Bill Maher and Jon Stewart

now, nothing to lose and he can pretty much tell them to kiss his ass. For a more serious interview on the world scene and the dangers of another Trump presidency, get on CNN with Christiane Amanpour.

And get on The View, bring Jill along, and talk up Kamala with the ladies.

Let people know you are still more than capable of doing six more months as President, and you are well qualified to put forth your successor.

3. Put them on ignore including those who peddle their lies.

Even on DU.

4. Let them chase their tails, they have been doing this since Biden was elected

They tried to find any dirt at all and have tried to impeach him. They are not worthy of a response.

5. Of course these horrible people are going to say the most horrible thing they can think of.

I am so tired of this idea that IF he stepped down from running for another 4 year term with health as part of the consideration, that means he is presently unhealthy or was in the past. It's such an obviously bad faith argument. I can learn health information that makes me postpone my vacation, but still be perfectly fine to go to work everyday. Again, I am not saying that there is a health issue, but it's so bad faith to say that ANY health issue means he must resign immediately!! Ugh, can't wait for these people to crawl back under their rocks.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. Ignore that shit. Accusations of a coverup are just Bannon operatives "flooding the zone with shit"

It's his favourite strategy, and one adopted by most Cons and tRump followers.

It sucks up oxygen and takes up space that otherwise would be filled with Biden's achievements and Harris's grit and determination.

Don't fall for it. Participate with strong minimal word refutations when forced to. Otherwise ignore it.

9. Covering up? Weren't MAGA's whining about every gaffe the last 4.years?

[ViewObsessed]

10. Karine Jean-Pierre and Nicolle Wallace said they used deep fake videos

President Biden is fine

[Nixie]

12. Biden is a career politician who knows everything about

how our government works. It's not like he is an old, dipshit reality tv star who is running just to stay out of jail.

This is the dumbest "concern" ever.

[Mad_Machine76]

13. I agree with you

but there are a lot of.........not-so-smart people out there- otherwise the Republican Party would be defunct by now.

[JustAnotherGen]

14. Ignore them

Seriously - it's just loud noises. Same old same old from the GOP

[lees1975]

16. The biggest threat from the right is their plan to steal the election.

They know all the ropes now, and are going to give it another try. That should be worrying enough to prompt some safeguards being put in place while we have a President in office who can.
