Joe Biden finally showed up at the White House Briefing Room. And no — I’m not kidding. It was literally the first time in his entire presidency that he actually made an appearance in the briefing room and answered questions.
So much for that promised transparency, huh Joe?
While there he was asked about the election. He was specifically asked if he thought it would be a fair election, and if it would be peaceful. Cue the ominous music… cue thunder and lightning… very, very frightening!

Of course the election will be fair — don’t be preposterous! Don’t you trust us? But… peaceful? With that Trump character and all his dangerous rhetoric!?
Here we go again. I hope y’all are ready for this. We are already seeing signs of another set up. Gaslighting 2.0 and January 6th all over again.

And boy, did the media already run with that! If you think the mainstream left-leaning media is lazy, you’ve never seen them go to work stoking the fires of fear at the bidding of their handlers! Here’s NBC’s Today Show hard at work, stoking those flames of fear.

The Hill confirmed it was indeed the first time Biden had ever visited the press briefing room during his presidency in their coverage of the momentous occasion:
In his first briefing room appearance of his presidency, Biden was asked about his confidence there will be a free, fair and peaceful election in November.
“I’m confident it will be free and fair. I don’t know whether it’ll be peaceful,” he said.
“The things that [former President] Trump has said, and the things he said last time out — when he didn’t like the outcome of the election — were very dangerous. If you noticed, I noticed, that the vice presidential Republican candidate did not say he’d accept the outcome of the election. He hasn’t even accepted the outcome of the last election,” he added. “So, I’m concerned about what they’re going to do.”
And as I said, that’s all it took. Cue the lights again! Cue the scary music! Enter more mainstream fear-reporting! People must fear the Orange Man!
President Joe Biden said Friday he was confident that the November election would be "free and fair" but expressed concerns that it may not be "peaceful."

And of course, USA Today wouldn’t pass up that golden opportunity to run with those “unsubstantiated claims of rigged” vote counting fiascos that occurred in multiple states. Allegedly occurred, of course.
Trump, the 2024 Republican nominee, tried to overturn his 2020 election loss to Biden by making repeated baseless claims of election fraud, an effort that culminated with a mob of supporters attacking the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump faces federal criminal charges tied to his efforts but has pleaded not guilty.
Ahead of the November 5 election, Trump has made similar unsubstantiated claims of a “rigged” election as he faces off against Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee.
“The things that Trump has said and the things that he said last time out when he didn’t like the outcome of the election were very dangerous,” Biden said.
You know how someone who constantly lies tends to project that behavior on others? A liar will constantly claim that others are lying. That’s how I feel every time I hear Biden or Kamala talk about how “very dangerous” President Trump is. Keep in mind — Biden recently said the George Floyd protests were “peaceful”, so… there’s that.
Biden just said that the George Floyd protests were "peaceful."

President Trump did get asked about Biden’s comments while visiting hurricane relief operations in Georgia. Surprisingly, the article I referenced earlier from The Hill actually carried that part of the story. Wonders never cease!
Trump was asked on Friday about Biden’s comments and expressed optimism about a free and fair election.
“I don’t know anything about what he said. I only can hope it’s going to be free and fair. I think in this state it will be, and I hope in every state it will be,” he said. “And I think we’re going to do very well.”

I find it completely illogical to assume that a party that has consistently proven itself to be led by liars and corrupt criminals will be satisfied with allowing anything remotely resembling a “free and fair” election, if they can help it.
I also find it completely unreasonable to expect it to go unquestioned when they once again attempt to steal an election. I know, I know — simply asking those questions immediately makes you a “terrorist”. But wasn’t it Ron Paul who said, “Truth is treason in the empire of lies”? (Yes, it was.)
In a parting joke (…but I wonder, was he?), Biden was asked as he stepped away from the podium towards the door if he wanted to reconsider dropping out o the race.
Q: "Do you want to re-consider dropping out of the race?"

Hahaha. Haha. Ha. That was a joke, right? After the unprecedented way the democratic party has tossed their hand-chosen figureheads around at whim, regardless of the democratic process (and the completely disregard of millions of votes), who knows!?
Suffice it to say that he hasn’t stepped away from his role in trying to set up another “coup” that would potentially get blamed squarely on President Trump, in the God-awful event that he does lose (or appear to lose) the election. We have already seen how sleazy these people can get, and there is ever reason to expect more of the same.
The answer? Vote. There needs to be a turnout so great that it outdoes any underhanded scheme to steal this election! When I remember Trump’s words after narrowly missing the sniper’s bullet, “Fight, fight, fight!”… I automatically translate that to “Vote, vote, vote!”
