This woman IS deranged. It’s hilarious that she’s demanding a timetable for anything from anyone and assuming she is a person of any consequence.

      The thing is, it makes no sense…

      If Biden died, Harris is president and it changes nothing.

      They’re just scrambling and don’t really have anything on Kamala apparently

        My favorite part of all this is that they actually have nothing on her. All their attacks are based on surface level observations and blatant racism, not anything about policy or scandals or anything. Frankly, the worst thing that could happen is someone unearths an old picture of Kamala ordering a hot dog with mustard while wearing a tan suit.

          Trump voters largely don’t care about policy or scandals. They do, however, care about racism and sexism.

          Vance is trying to push the border thing (whatever weird conception of the border dominating MAGA minds right now, no idea what that is exactly, this week anyway) on her screaming that it’s her fault for the last 4 yrs.

          . There’s some of that from Trump social media as well.

          .

          So far, that’s all I’ve seen them try.

          .

          Can’t really one up her bit on how she spent years as a prosecutor trying abusers of women, cheaters, and fraudsters and thus she knows Trumps type. No credible defense on that one.

        They don’t want Harris to run for 2 terms, and they want to try and cause a shitshow in the Senate over a VP confirmation. They have lost all agency right now and are desperate for anything. QQ more GOP. Keep it up with the racism and misogyny. Fucking snowflakes.

      He should totally dress up as bernie from the movie and get two young dudes to do the same and put him on a hand truck to be wheeled out to the podium for his next conference only to step off, take the aviators off, not address what just happened, and start his speech. No malarkey.

            Every president sits judges, yes, but they specifically delayed and obstructed to prevent Obama from seating as many as possible, so that when Trump came in they could pack as many sympathizers in as possible

        The GOP certainly does. They have been planning and exciting their strategy for decades or a century. It finally came to fruition. Only they didn’t realize that the mob of loyalists they were cultivating are idiots.

      The result would be Mike Johnson is the probable next in line to the president with Harris acting as president. This would give MAGA and those Trump have asked to ‘stand back and stand by’ months to ‘find a way’ to get Johnson in as president for the election and certification period.

      The more obvious and plausible reason is they just want something, ANYTHING, that gets them a news bite.

      If he were dead, she would assume the remainder of his term and only be eligible for one of her own. The only way this argument makes sense is if they are scared they are going to lose and don’t want an incumbent in the next election.

      I was wrong. See all the replies.

      They aren’t kidding that the quickest way to get a right answer on the internet is to post a wrong one.

        That’s not true actually. She would have to be president for 2 or more years in that scenario. So she could have been pres for 1.9 years already and still eligible for 2 more terms.

        Not true- she can serve 2 full terms, plus up to half of a term if she were to assume the remainder.

        This isn’t true, though.

        No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.

        Since she’s inside the window of two years, it would not count as a first term.

        Not even that. The 22nd Amendment states that a person can only be elected to the office twice, unless they’ve served two or more years of somebody’s else’s term, in which case they can only be elected once. Five months away from the next inauguration, it would change nothing if Harris had to take over the Presidency for some reason.

        This is simply not true. She would only lose out on a term if she has taken the majority of bidens, not the last 6 months. You can serve for up to 10 years total.

        I don’t believe that would affect her two terms. The 22 amendment talks how many times a person can be elected to be a president.

      The reason why people like this keep getting elected is because people will go into the voting booth and vote strictly on party lines. They don’t consider the platform of any given candidate they just go down the line and check all the boxes that say Republican/Democrat.

      That’s how these idiots keep getting elected.
