You were never qualified. You are corrupt, and you raped me in 1993 when I worked for you. So you run away, but you can not hide.

JOSEPH R. BIDEN, JR.

July 21, 2024

My Fellow Americans,

Over the past three and a half years, we have made great progress as a Nation.

Today, America has the strongest economy in the world. We’ve made historic investments in rebuilding our Nation, in lowering prescription drug costs for seniors, and in expanding affordable health care to a record number of Americans. We’ve provided critically needed care to a million veterans exposed to toxic substances. Passed the first gun safety law in 30 years. Appointed the first African American woman to the Supreme Court. And passed the most significant climate legislation in the history of the world. America has never been better positioned to lead than we are today.

I know none of this could have been done without you, the American people. Together, we overcame a once in a century pandemic and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. We’ve protected and preserved our Democracy. And we’ve revitalized and strengthened our alliances around the world.

It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.

I will speak to the Nation later this week in more detail about my decision.

For now, let me express my deepest gratitude to all those who have worked so hard to see me reelected. I want to thank Vice President Kamala Harris for being an extraordinary partner in all this work. And let me express my heartfelt appreciation to the American people for the faith and trust you have placed in me.

I believe today what I always have: that there is nothing America can’t do - when we do it together. We just have to remember we are the United States of America.

Joe Biden [Signature]

    In May 2023, Reade defected to Russia to seek Russian citizenship, which she announced during an interview with Sputnik in Moscow alongside convicted Kremlin spy Maria Butina, whom Reade called her friend. Reade said that she felt safe in Moscow.

    That’s a bit weird.

      She was in Moscow, her lawyers were finally able to bring her back to the US.

      She did not feel safe in the US due to the political backlash of her #MeToo, “she felt safe in Moscow”.

        Yes, that makes some sense, but Russia is a bit of an odd choice of destination, especially accompanying a known spy.

          IMO: Well, Snowden is safe from the US deep state; others know that Russia would not give them up unless they came to an agreement that would be of great benefit to Russia, but then people would not trust them if they handed whistleblowers to the country of origin.

          At least that is my thought process on the matter.
