Clearly, he is infirm[2]; and our great nation is at risk from internal and external enemies.[3] The threshold problem is that if the Twenty-Fifth Amendment was invoked, cackling Kamala Harris—Willie Brown’s former ho—would assume the presidency. Therein lies the rub.

A better approach would be for the powers that be in the Democratic Party to coalesce behind the notion that Biden needs to go, inter alia, because he will drag down other Democrats nationwide. Then, they need to choose their candidate before the party’s convention begins in Chicago on August 19th.[4]

Some argue that jettisoning Harris unceremoniously will inure to the party’s detriment, certainly among African-American voters. However, if Michelle Obama is chosen, such concerns may dissipate. What is imperative for the Democrats—and yes, lots of us began as Democrats, but are Independents now—is that the party’s chances are not destroyed by Biden.

Does any American—including “Nurse Ratched” Jill Biden[5]—or any informed citizen of the world honestly believe that Joe Biden is capable of serving in the presidency for another four years? Yes, it’s a rhetorical question. Time is of the essence. August 19th will be here in a flash.
