US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[Jade Philosophies]

Georgia just voted to reopen the 2020 election fraud case too.

*COUGH*

I have a theory. Or at least a theory how they can stop Trump from winning. I'm reluctant to post it in case somebody influential sees, lol! It would literally be their "Hail Mary" as you guys say. They would have it ruled that there was indeed fraud in the 2020 election and Donald Trump was the rightful winner. Since he won twice he can't run a 3rd time.

I'm wondering if the Democrats are discovering their ability to tell Big Lies and have the media sustain them has been diminished. In years past, switching targets like this would've been avoided.

They probably finally ran out of the competent PR wizards this election cycle, to be replaced by sassy millenials who think acting like the Wendy twitter account is totally the way to go to win hearts and carry water for the party.

Ah yes, releasing a book. The new art industry. Honestly how many people do you know actually read? I haven't seen anyone reading a book in public in years. Not for a lack of going outside either.

I see people reading all the time.

What I don't see is people reading these terrible, ghostwritten autobiographies.

I'm pretty sure the reason why my local Vroman's went out of business was them trying to sell these garbage books.

And Wendy only worked because of Rule 34. No one wants Rule 34 of Harris.

99% sure even if so he didn't serve a term, so it doesn't matter.

He'd just go down in history as the only man who won 3 presidential elections other than FDR

 

[StarkRavingMad]

That ended it for Republicans. But I was expecting the left to keep repeating that line for the entire election cycle.

imo, RINOs are hardly different from Democrats these days.

Democrats love Mitt Romney and the types like him, and they tout his endorsements and his condemnations of Trump and MAGA.

It's not a good look to make Project 2025 the boogeyman when there's pretty much a direct connection to an establishment teammate like Mittens.

*COUGH*

Fun Horrifying idea, but the electoral college vote is the technical real one. They voted Biden, so he's legit at that point, cheat or no.

 

[where's baldo]

the 22nd amendment doesn't say anything about serving, it says "shall not be ELECTED more than twice"

 

[StarkRavingMad]

The attack on JD Vance doesn't even make sense. The dude SHOWED UP. Vance was actually in Iraq compared to the dude who ran away the second he heard he might be deployed. Even if it was FOB job he was still in country.....compared to the dude who quit the second he MIGHT have been deployed.

Literally none of the attacks on JD Vance have made sense, lol. Vance has handled them like a true shitposter though, so I gotta hand it to him. Trump picked a running mate that matches his energy, and we love to see it.

The big issue here is that Walz made a bold faced lie about his service. He could have even bullshitted himself out of the critiques of leaving before possible deployment by saying something to the effect of "We were about to enter a war that I fundamentally thought was wrong." That would have appealed to Democrats and moderates alike, I think. But ... I guess he can't even do that now because the Dems have become so pro-war in the past 10 years ... lol.

Democrats keep thinking that they can lie themselves out of this. Walz is basically getting "Swiftboated" like John Kerry did in 2004, and people totally forget that the Swiftboat vets are basically what pushed Dubya across the victory line in the 2004 Election. Democrats underestimate how much the military and military families care about this kind of stuff and how much it outrages them.

The attacks on JD Vance's service just reek of desperation. If a VP debate even happens, Vance is going to slaughter that commie pig.

The funniest and most 2024 outcome would be the Jews leaking their blackmail videos of him fucking kids just so Shapiro can get the nod and further divide the left.

The last time the dems replaced their VP deep into the race was in 84. What happened? They lost every state except Minnesota.

I doubt that'll happen again. But it would spell disaster for the DNC. Down ballot too probably. So much so that not even all the rigging in the world would help.

 

[Your Girlfriend's Dad]

Were you expecting Brian "Good Old Boy" Kemp and his crony Brad "nothing to see here guys" Raffensperger to actually do anything?

I think he's talking about the investigation into the cheating, not the interference case on Trump.

So yeah, somebody is at least making this appearance of doing something.

In any case, sorry about the link, it's pretty biased but it was the first one I saw.

Edit:
@Jade Philosophies I'm quoting @Useful_Mistake here but can't use multi-quote in an edited reply.

Maine had considered that legal theory and dismissed it:

Also bear in mind that IEDs were by far the biggest killers of American troops in Iraq so even non-combat personnel had a non-zero chance of being blown up every time they traveled in a vehicle.

 

[Nuns with guns]

Interesting that they dropped the Project 2025 line, and are finally dealing with Agenda 47 "directly from the Trump Administration". I guess Trump's disavowal finally worked.

This was on reddit's front page last night. It's still being pushed by shills.

 

[Overly Serious]

the 22nd amendment doesn't say anything about serving, it says "shall not be ELECTED more than twice"

But that may apply to the electoral college vote, no? Not the public vote.

 

[draggs]

Ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha. Okay retard, sure. It totally won’t be like every other time something was supposed to happen but instead Republicans go on TV saying how things would be if it was reversed and terminally online losers like you talking about how you’re totally going to rise up and take back your county once the Democrats cross yet another red line.

The aftermath of the assassination of a presidential or vice presidential candidate in current year would be a vewwy seeweeous situation with unpredictability off the charts

 

[Coptakhenaten]

But that may apply to the electoral college vote, no? Not the public vote.

As far as I'm aware the popular vote isn't even a thing in the constitution, it's totally up to the electors. If Trump was rigged in 2020 it didn't matter once the electors chose to vote Biden.

 

[VeePeeN]

the 22nd amendment doesn't say anything about serving, it says "shall not be ELECTED more than twice"

The status of ELECTED is chosen by the votes of the ELECToral college. Trump wasn't elected, cheating or not.

They don't even have to choose the candidate that won popular vote in their state. Sometimes they vote No Faith.

 

[Your Girlfriend's Dad]

As far as I'm aware the popular vote isn't even a thing in the constitution, it's totally up to the electors. If Trump was rigged in 2020 it didn't matter once the electors chose to vote Biden.

The left likes to prod and poke at these legal issues that really ought not to be poked at in a functional Republic.

Questions like: What if every elector just disregarded the popular vote entirely in their state? Given that they get the ultimate say in electoral college votes, that would indeed be the final say on who is rightfully the president, but it would also entirely undermine a Democratic Republic's claim to authority.

What they're doing, and always have done, is to push up against the walls of functioning beureaucracy to see what they can use as an asset and dispense with anything that is incorruptible.

The examples are limitless. SCOTUS limits, get rid of the Electoral College, Stacking the courts, Removing the sitting President from the election after the primaries.

Those are only examples from this administration. The left asks not what the purpose of a wall is if the wall is in their way.

People forget how young she started. If you're young and think she seems to have been around forever that's because for you she basically has, most of the 21st century so far. Over 20 years.

A lot of pop musicians stop maturing in any meaningful way when they get famous because they don't ever go through any important life milestones after that. I've noticed a bunch of my favorite metal personalities still talk and emote like 24-year-olds despite being in their 50s or even 60s. It's embarrassing.

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

I doubt that'll happen again. But it would spell disaster for the DNC. Down ballot too probably. So much so that not even all the rigging in the world would help.

I hope to God that, if Trump wins this election, he does it in a landslide - electoral and popular vote victory. That way, Democrats can't piss and moan about election interference like last time, and they won't have any legitimate way to start a civil war (which I am genuinely worried they might try if they lose).
