President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Haley's got to be thinking something is finally going to bring down Trump, or so disable him politically, physically or mentally that she needs to be standing by in the wings.

 

Originalists: how would the framers react to a presidential candidate who a jury found liable for sexual assault and defamation, who is under the thumb of a foreign dictator, directed a violent mob to attack the legislative branch in attempt to overturn an election he lost, whose financial difficulties make him a national security threat, who won't abide by the constitution, who enriched himself and his family at public expense, who.....

 

Except in her warped party, she's edging dangerously close to Romney/McCain/Cheney pariah status for daring to challenge the cult leader. A brokered convention likely would pick DeSantis, IMO.

 

John McCain gets sick and dies.
Chuck Grassley lives on in the Senate.
Yeah, that's cosmic justice.

 

Edit: I missed this race was also going to November. It is very interesting, Garvey is doing about 100,000 votes better on the partial term and Schiff is doing about the same margin worse.


Margin is close but turnout was low so it will be interesting to follow late returns. Ballots have 7 days to arrive.

 

Fire Merrick Garland by lunchtime and appoint Katie Porter Attorney General, with orders to:

1) Release the full unredacted Mueller Report

2) File 50 more felony indictments against Fatfuck by sundown, 500 more within 30 days. Including capital treason.

3) Order Garland indicted as an ex post facto co conspirator of Fatfuck and associated MAGGATS on 50 appropriate cases.

4) Indict Ginni Thomas as a 1/6 co conspirator

5) Initiate an immediate investigation into the process of Rupert Murdoch's illegitimate citizenship (gained by bribery and extortion during the Reagan Administration) . Aggressively pursue prosecution and deportation, assessment of taxes and asset seizure.

 

On brand

 

I was listening to NPR's coverage of Super Tuesday - and the panel or journos seemed "amused" about Trump more than anything, blithely describing his rallies and supporters. I imagined if it was some other "strongman" type who had no problem imprisoning journos or the opposition. Its nuts.

 

Of course. Spineless and worthless.

McConnell endorses Trump in 2024 race despite railing against him after Jan. 6

 

Thus guaranteeing he'll get 100 million votes, and the indictments go into the paper shredder on Jan. 21.

Speaking of which . . . everybody talks about the need to have some kind of conviction before election day.

What happens if you, get, say, 10 felony convictions on Dec. 2? He's still not the president.
