This was always the plan. They will contest any replacement and then only Trump will be on the ballot. AOC tried to warn you fucking people. This is why Biden needed to go over a year ago and the PARTY said “fuck you guys” until it was too hard to fucking ignore.
Narrator: it is not
His lips were moving. The clear tell that Johnson is lying.
Ballots aren’t even printed yet for any state. I do think Biden should have stopped a while back (remember “One term?”) but it’s better than post-convention.
Now we can have Harris get nom’d, debate, and hopefully not deal with Orange Fucker again. I’m more hopeful with Harris winning than Joe BIden, more due to her age and track record more than anything else.
The convention hasn’t happened yet, there has not yet been a democratic nominee.
But yes, this is part of their plan. Even if it goes to the SC though, John Roberts and Coney Barret would have a hard time finding any legitimate originalist arguments for supporting the challenge, and have demonstrated they are not quite pure conservative ideologues.
Bookmarking this for later when in this crazy timeline we’re in Trump has to be replaced on the Republican ticket before November for some reason.
Like… a prison sentence?
I am confident that that won’t happen. But I could at least imagine Vance being pulled off the Republican ticket in favor of someone else to counter whatever ticket the Democrats run.
its so annoying how full of shit the republican party is. Even without trump they are worse than they have ever been.
Too bad it’s a state-level thing and not up to him or that would matter.
I’ve seen way too much fuckery that the Republicans keep winning in court on to fully trust that that’s enough to save us.
Oh I’m sure they’ll try. But I think even SCOTUS would have a hard time justifying forcing a presidential candidate who dropped out before the convention to be on the ballot. They may still do it, but I think it will be very, very difficult. I could certainly see Roberts not going for that.
Roberts I’m iffy about, he seems torn between his legacy and his legacy…
The real legacy of being a semi-corrupted court, and the winners-take-all-and-write-the-history legacy of being the bestest court ever who helped Donald Trump secure his win against the evil corrupt Democrats. He seems at least mildly interested in the latter, because it allows him to pretend he’s more serious than he is.
Remember that Roberts didn’t go for Trump’s election lie.
But he did sit on the immunity decision for months after months of ignoring Jack Smith requesting the same thing. Yet somehow, when a Republican brought the same issue to the court, it was suddenly an important issue… just not important enough to rule on quickly.
…and then they just did a major power grab by making themselves the arbiters of what official acts are and are not.
Sorry, but the immunity decision screams Robert could give a fuck less about being in the pocket.
Dude, absofuckinglutely. Robert’s was never not on Trump’s side, he just bided his time until the right decisions came through, like the one that makes the president a de-facto kingship based in court opinions with a huge amount of freshly minted psychos as judges.
Biden is still the President? He can just Officially Act on House Republican leadership until he gets an answer he likes.
House speaker should have an IQ requirement.
Johnson is an idiot. This is embarrassing for him and the GOP. Keep up the good work loser. All Biden would have to do is get a doctor to say he’s not medically fit anyway. Which we all know wouldn’t be hard.
It’s just a way to premptively setup another bullshit “election was stolen” crybaby whine from the fascists. This time tho they’re going to start the civil war.
Alt right is deff going around with that civil war threat.
I am surprised feds allowing such rhetoric … We already been through this shit. Enough
But you are also being too partisan. This I’d DnC komissars doing and they did similar in 2016 and 2020… Like wtf
Scared?? Yup, they’re scared.
Well. Biden is still in charge. He can declare and emergency and make whoever he wants appear on the ballot.
Johnson doesn’t decide policy. He decides which matters to bring up in the house.
If far right Republicans like Johnson are already playing it this way, it’s because they’re scared and desperate. They can win against biden, anyone else is a threat. Another data point why this was the correct decision, among many others.
I was not a kamala fan, but I’ll be voting for her fervently on election day. I’m fucking pumped.
Is this actually illegal or just “stir the shit” illegal? I’m leaning towards “stir the shit”, because the Democratic presidential nominee isn’t officially announced until the convention, and that hasn’t even happened yet.
