Liberal pundits like MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow and CNN’s Van Jones are not doing well after Joe Biden announced he’s dropping out of the 2024 race.

Joe Biden officially dropped out of the 2024 presidential race on Sunday.

Biden made the announcement on X like a coward. He has been hiding out at his Rehoboth Beach house for four days.

We don’t even know if Joe Biden is alive!

Van Jones fought through tears as he compared Joe Biden to a grandpa who needs to give up his car keys.

“Kinda like your grandpa when you gotta take the keys,” Van Jones said.

This is a little more serious than ‘Grandpa Joe” having a set of car keys…he has the nuclear codes!

Van Jones continued, “And then you just cry. Because this is someone that you love. This is somebody that care about. This is somebody that was there for you. You wouldn’t be here without him.”

Rachel Maddow was completely shell-shocked after Biden dropped out of the race.

“What a man! What a patriot!” Maddow said of Joe Biden.

Maddow gushed over Joe Biden and called him a phenomenal president.

“The Biden economy is the envy of the world,” Maddow said.

Can Rachel Maddow explain why she would want Biden, who got 81 million votes in 2020 and had a phenomenal presidency, to drop out so the country “has a chance at not putting Donald Trump back in the White House.”

Maddow believes the most popular president in US history – with the most successful administration in US history – has to “get out of the way” in order to beat Donald Trump in November.

Makes sense.

In a move that reeks of retaliation, Ukraine has now enacted specific sanctions against a Russian company that only really hurt the neighboring countries and even itself.

Many do not know that multiple European countries depend on Russian oil and gas for their energy supply.

And indeed, Russia has continued to supply natural gas and oil to landlocked Hungary and Slovakia via Ukraine, through the Druzhba pipeline’s southern spur.

The recent Ukrainian decision to halt the transit of oil from Russia’s Lukoil has led to protests in Budapest and Bratislava, as it threatens the long-term security of supply of both countries.

Hungary’s Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto was very vocal about this decision.

Reuters reported:

“‘We have been able to stabilize the situation with temporary solutions, but these will not be enough even for the near future’, Szijjarto said.

‘Ukrainian authorities showed willingness to find a solution to the situation, but these attempts have faded since’, he added.”

While Ukraine’s ban of Russian oil across its territory is not so strange, what seems peculiar is that not all Russian oil exporters whose oil was still allowed through Ukraine are affected – just the one that hurts Hungary and Slovakia the most.

RBC Ukraine reported:

[Hungarian FM] Szijjártó considers Ukraine’s decision to halt the transit of Lukoil oil to be ‘incomprehensible and unacceptable’.”

The Hungarian Foreign Minister added that Hungary and Slovakia depend on the Druzhba pipeline, through which Lukoil supplies about two million tons of oil per year.

‘This decision seriously jeopardizes the long-term oil supply security of Hungary and Slovakia’, said the Minister.”

Hungary intends to discuss this issue at the EU Foreign Affairs Council meeting.

“‘It’s peculiar that an EU-aspiring country is endangering the energy supply of two EU member states, especially in the summer when energy consumption is at its peak’, stated Szijjártó.”

On the Slovak side, as you would expect, Prime Minister Robert Fico is outraged that Ukraine has blocked the supply of Russian oil to Hungary through the Druzhba pipeline. He had a telephone conversation with his Ukrainian counterpart Denys Shmyhal on this issue.

UAZMI reported:

“This was reported on Saturday evening, July 20, by Slovak media, including TASR, with reference to the country’s government. Fico criticized Ukraine’s inclusion of the Russian company Lukoil in the sanctions list, as its oil was also used by the Slovnaft refinery, which is part of the Hungarian MOL group.”

Fico stated that these sanctions are ‘meaningless’ because they harm not Russia, but the EU countries.

“‘Slovakia does not intend to be a hostage to Ukrainian-Russian relations, and the decision of the Ukrainian president means that the Slovak oil refinery Slovnaft, which is part of the Hungarian MOL group, will receive 40% less oil than it needs for processing. This will affect not only the Slovak market, but may also lead to the cessation of supplies to Ukraine of oil produced by Slovnaft, which accounts for almost a tenth of all Ukrainian consumption’, Fico said.”

Mark Halperin was right!

Joe Biden did drop out of the 2024 race on Sunday.

However, he endorsed Kamala Harris.

“My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.” Biden said on X.

Mark Halperin said Biden wasn’t going to endorse Kamala Harris but got pressured over the weekend and changed course.

We know who pressured old Joe!

Really?

Well, that was true when I reported it. Biden got heat in the interim and changed course. https://t.co/ivnTmzqbBt

Democrat Senator Chris Coons of Delaware cried on live TV on CBS News on Sunday after Joe Biden dropped out of the Presidential race.

Coons is also the co-chair to the Biden/Harris 2024 campaign.

“Joe Biden is grounded, he’s grounded in his faith, in his family and in our State,” Senator Coons said.

“I’m sorry, this was a very difficult decision,” Coons said while crying on live TV.

After the success of the Republican National Convention and President Trump’s massive rallies, the pressure for the Democrats to remove Biden was growing. A Trump super PAC quickly released an ad attacking Kamala’s record of incompetence.

Watch:

Kamala was in on it. She covered up Joe’s obvious mental decline. Kamala knew Joe couldn’t do the job, so she did it. Look what she got done: a border invasion, runaway inflation, the American Dream dead. pic.twitter.com/H3Oyew0ug9

The Democrats have continually been saying MAGA is a “threat to democracy” while they ousted their presumptive nominee who got millions of votes in the Democrat primary.

Feeble US President Joe Biden has ‘achieved’ many historical highlights in his term: all bad ones, of course.

We can mention the largest ever number of illegal aliens invading the country and tearing it apart.

There’s of course the catastrophe of the pull-out of troops in Afghanistan.

We could also cite the record number of stumbles and the nearly infinite number of gaffes.

But today, old Joe has joined former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss in a most exclusive club: the politicians who could not outlast a lettuce!

Joe Biden vs. A Head of Lettuce

72% chance the lettuce wins https://t.co/RQpaw9gBsB pic.twitter.com/2i4BKFJCG1

The challenge was launched just four days ago by prediction marker Polymarket, and consisted of a broadcast of a lettuce with a wig and human features and a toy representing Joe ‘it’s just my brain’ Biden.

Hundreds of thousands checked in daily to watch the exciting race.

From the start, it must be said, the lettuce was the clear favorite.

This trolling initiative was mirrored on the similar campaign to see the short-lived British Prime Minister Liz Truss could outlive a legume – she could not.

So, now, Sleepy Jo has another feat he can brag about to his grandsons and granddaughters while eating a delicious ice-cream in Delaware.

So, now, Sleepy Jo has another feat he can brag about to his grandsons and granddaughters while eating a delicious ice-cream in Delaware.

On X, it was possible to see people celebrating that their bets on the lettuce were victorious after Biden called a ‘permanent lid’ on his campaign.

And just a few minutes ago, Polymarket posted a new election forecast showing the  clear favoritism of Donald Trump against VP Kamala Harris, the expected new Dem candidate: Trump 64% – Harris 29%.
