So his hypothesis was that George Soros could fly jumbo jets full of black women from Ohio to California for abortions...

How can you possibly whistle so many dogs at once?

 

[Vic]

That's my concern.

Harris needs a clear win so Trump and his cult of MAGA cannot take the result to SCOTUS.

1. Can the VP as president of the Senate count and certfy her own election?

2. SCOTUS says the president can do what he likes if it's an official act. Does that include ignoring SCOTUS rulings?

The idiot's former communications director, Anthony Scaramucci, is backing Harris.

That’s all very well and good, but will he do the Fandango?

He doesn't much like Trump though, and is entertaining in how he displays it.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Lol

So, since Sunday, he's withdrawn, demanded the debate be moved to Fox, said he'd do multiple debates and is now backing out?

Must be quite difficult being in his admin staff!

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Kaitlyn Collins on CNN now saying the same thing.

"Why is he scared all of a sudden?"

He'll have thrown his cheeseburger at the Tele when he said that.

I think there will be a fair amount of baiting and goading still to come.

SCOTUS has no means of enforcing its rulings. Theoretically, states can just ignore them but they would spend an awful lot of time in court.

So if SCOTUS upholds a challenge to a state's election result the President of the Senate could ignore it, and the President himself could as an official act order the President of the Senate to ignore it.

Suppose Harris wins the Electoral college but there's a risk of "faithless electors". Biden then resigns, Harris takes the oath and becomes President. She can then break laws as official acts so orders the arrest of the faithless electors....

Endorsed by Obama. I'd say that's just changed things considerably.

Presumably Bush seniority did so in 1989.

Inevitable I guess.

The timing helps keep the momentum and vibes going.

Dems are set to have a really strong conference. The mood could not be more different from the week following the 1st debate. That is now ancient history.

As I keep saying. Too early to look at polls. Things happen. Events unseen and beyond the control of campaigns are what really shift the dial.

 

[Vienna_70]

Lol

What a fucking coward!

He knows Harris will wipe the floor with his, so rather than face humiliation in a debate, he would rather be humiliated in the media.

That seems that is the case for quite a few, who served under the idiot.

That’s great news, though not particularly surprising, as Obama was supposedly among those, who urged widen to step aside.

Shit like this is what worries me.

Biden is many things but wide is not one of them. ;-)

I want to get shirts and hats made that say “Vote for Harris and Drop a Deuce”.

The Republicans are slowly ramping up the Project 2025 rhetoric; I think when most non-psycho Americans wake up to the terrifying reality of what this means, the voting intentions will shift.

I would imagine the worst case is that Harris wins red swing states and they send unfaithful electors to Congress. The gop then needs 100% loyalty to agree fraudulent votes. That is a huge deal. Its going to trash what's left of their credibility if they can do it. And assuming they do Harris would not certify. And then it would end up at SCOTUS. If they rule in favor of the GOP again its all their credibility shot and a full constitutional crisis blatantly brought fwd by the GOP.

At that point the gloves are of and it's practically civil war. It's not a clear view to winnin. It's blatant fraud and it gives Biden grounds to use his immunity. Send in the seal team.
