President Joe Biden will speak Monday night at the first night of the Republican National Convention, in what POLITICO has called his "hero's goodbye." If it really is a hero's goodbye, will everyone in the conference room be checking their watches?
That's a busy day for Biden, especially since we learned he is "dependably engaged" between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and should avoid events after 8 p.m. Fortunately, he'll have his teleprompter with him and a speech written by somebody else. Is it really a "hero's goodbye," though? The guy still has five months in office.
RNC Research says that Biden will be saying goodbye after the DNC speech and saying hello to a week's vacation in California.
Crooked Joe and Dr. Jill shuffle off to the DNC (via the short stairs), where Biden will give his "farewell" address later this evening.

Then they're heading to California on vacation for the rest of the week.

That's a good question.
Biden’s political career pretty much ends tonight!

Vacation??

WTF has he been for the past month?
We just saw him relaxing at the beach in Delaware 10 days ago.
Would love to see him gather together an ounce of dignity and go rogue during his speech, condemning the coup. I know it will never happen, but would be amazing. 🤣

That would be amazing.
We wonder which billionaire's mansion he'll be staying at?
Another vacation. How nice

He checked out long ago

So … who will be running the country this week?
The same shadow people that have run the country since the election.

The same people who have been running it since 1/6/21. We may never know their names and they certainly won't get the recognition they deserve, but they do exist.

I'd venture to guess it's Blinken and Austin.

Susan and Barack, same as the last three and a half years.

Yes who? It sure isn’t an elected official.

Perhaps it's Hunter.

His administration. Biden was never running things.

Neither Joe Biden nor Kamala Harris are running the country, and if Harris were to become president, she won't be running it then, either. The real threat to democracy is whoever is behind the scene, pulling the strings.

Whoever has been running the country the last 3.5 years. No difference and he won't be missed.
— USAPatriot (@gobigorgohome28) August 19, 2024
Is he seriously going on vacation again? He really does seem to have checked out, and Kamala Harris sure is acting like she's already running the show.
