Like several key MAGA figures, Phillips also criticized people close to Biden for what he describes as an effort to keep the extent of the 82-year-olds declining health from the public during his reelection campaign.
Donald Trump isnt shy about his corruption, Phillips said. Whats so troubling is that what the people around Joe Biden clearly were doing was in some ways more egregious.

I'd hoped we'd seen the last of him, but he might be angling for a comeback.

Trump is going to get his way on everything if this keeps up.

(2,142 posts)Everybody knew Joe Biden was an older man. And Biden still crushed him in the New Hampshire primary as a write in candidate because President Biden was not on their ballot. Marianne Williamson received more votes than Phillips. Everybody heard what Dean had to say and hardly anyone vote for him.

I'll vote Democratic of course, but until THIS bullshit stops from within our own party, I will NOT contribute another dime to Democrats.
and some wonder why Democrats lose?

(60,456 posts)If nothing else, this shows what a terrible politician ..and person.. he is.
As to politician, I have no doubt that his challenge was prompted by people wanting someone different. I remember that he argued for "someone" to challenge Biden before he himself did so and there were no takers
After the election, even as many moved to opinion that Biden should have stepped down, I saw NO mention of Phillips or anything like a reevaluation of his vanity campaign. The fake Biden robocalls alone will continue to make him unacceptable for any office.
As to person, for ANY person of any party to claim Biden hid this for a long time, it defies sanity. Biden has made fighting cancer a cause for decades. Had a doctor told him he had cancer, he would have fought it. Even Democrats who preferred he not run respect and like him as a person.
As someone who had a brilliant sister diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer who had annual mammograms and wellness appointments, I think people need to realize that all these tests have both false positives and false negatives. She survived for nearly 5 years "making memories" with her young grandchildren in her words.

Where were the masked men jumping out of vans and kidnapping people, including citizens...before Jan 20?
How many political and military alliances have been lost or compromised...since Jan 20?
Where was the Attorney General who doesn't believe in the Rule of Law? The Sec of Defense who is a drunk talk show host? The Health Secretary who thinks doctors are conspiring to kill people with vaccines? The DOGE Bros who walked into Federal Offices and started firing people to the point of making the agencies dysfunctional? Where was the Transportation Secretary whose only qualification is being the star of three different reality TV shows?
But most of all, where were the daily, incoherent, rambling, insane statements from our Chief Executive before Jan 20?
