Minimum required distributions go from one account into another. We're spending some of that money to cover the remainder of our expenses, including the taxes on the RMD's. And since I'm not old enough yet to have to take an RMD on any of my retirement accounts, those investments are still growing.

A lot of people who watched Donald Trump's performance in the debate are worried for our country if he re-assumes a position that he is not mentally fit for.

I assume that if Biden releases his delegates, he will ask them to vote for Harris, plus a VP to be determined. People who voted for him, kind of were voting for her anyway.
Different things can be true at the same time. One does not necessarily follow from another.flockofseagulls104 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 29, 2024 11:02 pmThe thing that is obvious to everyone who has a rational mind is that biden is not fit to be president. PERIOD. And if you still support him, you are in fact admitting that he is not acting as President right now and hasn't been for a long time. You are supporting a cabal of unknown, unelected people who are using him. That cabal is called the swamp. They have already used power that the people of the US have not granted them to steal one election, and if they steal this one, we will never again have a fair election in this country. These people must be removed from their base of power and face accountability for what they have done. That is why they are deathly afraid of Trump and are doing things out in the open that have never been done before. They don't care if it leaves them exposed for what they truly are.
The thing is, skoop, I don't know for sure that biden was elected unfairly. But I KNOW there are ample reasons and evidence to legitimately question whether he was. I have seen enough and personally verified examples that I have the resources to do, to know there IS enough proven evidence of WIDESPREAD FRAUD. Not all in one basket, but if you put them together, they would be more than enough. I know that for a fact in Georgia, which would have been enough to change the results of the entire election. No entity that is determined to steal an election worth trillions of dollars is going to do it all in one place and risk being caught. They are not that stupid. But the people supposedly 'investigating' it are that stupid, expecting all the fraud to be in one place. And, just in my opinion, the only entity that could not only execute such a fraud, but has enough power, access and information to control the actions of elected officials, the judicial system and the justice system, and has a substantial motivation to do such a thing, has to be internal.It's possible that Biden has run his course and is not able to campaign effectively every day, but that does not by definition mean that he was elected unfairly.
Flock. They. Don't. Care. They've been lied to, repeatedly for 8 years or more. The lies have been repeatedly exposed. They don't care. Caring would mean admitting how wrong they've been, how gullible, and humans simply aren't wired that way these days.flockofseagulls104 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 30, 2024 2:26 pmThe thing is, skoop, I don't know for sure that biden was elected unfairly.

My problem with the broadcast media, the internet and with the established political class, and, I'm sorry, with you in particular, is that they all portray themselves as objective, non-biased entities. But when they proclaim, AS FACT, that any claims that the 2020 and 2022 elections had any problems, or were questionable in any way are BASELESS: THAT IS A DELIBERATE LIE. And you are showing that you subscribe to this lie.
Add to that the fact that you, like so many others, are unwilling to be shown or even consider any facts that might change your mind. I saw that personally on a national level with high-profile people you would be familiar with. They were given the opportunity to be shown the other side of an issue I was personally involved in. This was on an issue that they were preparing a nationally broadcast story on. They accepted my offer to let me show them our side of the story, after we deduced they were setting us up, based on their interview questions. Then, at the last minute, they cancelled. They told me had their story. They decided on their narrative, and they went ahead and broadcast it, regardless of the possibility that they might have gotten their facts wrong. And they did get their facts wrong. And that's what they present to you and to the rest of the world, masquerading as the 'truth'.
You saw what I saw on Thursday night. The media you so dearly trust has been telling you biden is 'sharp as a tack' for years. You saw he isn't. Yet you are not the least bit concerned that they haven't been telling you the truth. The first thing you did was inquire how the party that has been lying to you about this crucial fact can do something to retain their power. You want them to continue lying to you with no accountability.
So, sorry. I don't believe anymore that you can be objective. I'm not going to disparage you. That is only for the jerks that do it to me first, when they realize they have no answer to the points I make. I am just disappointed in you.
I don't know if Biden has Alzheimer's or some other mental disease. You don't. Flock doesn't. The New York Times Editorial Board doesn't. The various commentators don't. The people who do know are Biden's doctors. Mrs. SSS's doctor diagnosed her well before most people realized there was anything wrong with her. As President of the United States, he gets the best medical care imaginable. If Biden has Alzheimer's, his doctors know, he knows, Jill knows, and his inner circle know. I think he would have bowed out long before now, and we could have had as orderly a primary process as possible. I'm also sure that the insiders got on the phone with his doctors as soon as the debate ended.wbtravis007 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 30, 2024 3:53 pmI wish that I wasn’t convinced now that Biden will lose.

I’m hoping that a group including people like the Obamas, Clintons, Clyburn, Pelosi, and current congressional leaders can persuade him to agree that he is not going to be able to convince people now that he’ll be a capable president up until he leaves office at the age of 86.
As a last resort, replace Harris on the ticket with Obama. Barack.
Wrong. Just leftist talking points. However, Trump saying those things were not new revelations for HIspanic or blacks. They've known for some time. They see it daily.

I’m not saying that it would be impossible for Biden to win. And, I'm not saying that he has Alzheimer's. But, I think that it would be impossible, with respect to many, many voters, for him now to convince them that he will be fine at 86. Enough to matter in this equation, when the margin is so slim and there’s so much at stake. I just don’t think that he can erase those optics, no matter how many successful press conferences or interviews or town hall meetings or ads there might be.silverscreenselect wrote: ↑Sun Jun 30, 2024 5:52 pmI don't know if Biden has Alzheimer's or some other mental disease.

As a last resort, replace Harris on the ticket with Obama. Barack.
There will be large factions of the Democratic Party who won't like a "consensus" candidate chosen in a smoke-filled room at this late date, especially if that candidate's views on topics like Gaza differs from their own. If Kamala Harris is pushed aside in favor of some white guy, blacks and women will get extremely upset.
The early polls indicate almost no change in voter opinion after the debate. Much of what's out there is already baked in, on both sides.
What Biden's staff can do is get him back out there at various events from now till the election. Biden has already raised $33 million since the debate, much of that from the grassroots. Campaign volunteer applications have increase. Hold the second debate with Trump (if Trump shows up). If not, schedule town halls and let him field questions from voters for two hours. The other thing his staff can do is to start a discussion about the 25th amendment. I think a lot of Americans are under the impression that if Biden is re-elected, we'll be stuck with him until 2029 unless he dies. If the commentator discussion brings up the 25th amendment, voters who are inclined to support Biden may be more reassured. What's overlooked is that Trump alienated a lot of people at that debate. When he repeatedly talked about migrants coming from insane asylums and prisons, that didn't play well with Hispanic voters. When he said they were here to take Black jobs, that didn't play well with Black voters. And when he talked about killing babies after they were born, that didn't play well with anyone. Left to his own devices and without moderators to fact check him, Trump did not convince any new people that he should be President. The more people know what he's saying, the more they will realize what a danger he is as President.

Go to twitter and look up #BlackJobs and see how well Trump's comment played.
I am concerned about my savings. Everyone should be concerned about theirs. And those younger than me should be concerned about what sort of social security system they'll inherit after four more years of Trump. And those who are still of working age should be concerned if unemployment starts going back up.

The videos have been shown to be edited out of context fakes. How much Biden's debate performance is indicative of his current state of mind is a question that remains to be answered.
We've been suggesting this all along, but the msm and usual suspects said "bs". Just like many other things. We were proven right.Joe Biden's close aides have carefully shielded him from people inside and outside the White House since the beginning of his presidency.
