Biden stepping down from the presidency (and make Harris the POTUS) would make no sense though. First of all, it'll appear that he is caving into the Republican demand, thereby making him and the whole Democratic Party look weak.

Secondly, doing so will mean Harris would have to take on presidential duties, which takes time away from her campaigning. She already doesn't have a lot of time left -- it's only ~100+ days now.

Thirdly, just making Harris the 47th prez to make all the Trump 47 merch junk?! That'd be esp petty, and nobody in the right mind running for the presidency would be this petty just to get back at your opponents.

But look at the optics. She would become the first female/Indian to become president of the US. It would be wall to wall coverage on every news channel for days. First the announcement, then the swearing in ceremony, her first speech etc. What could trump do to beat that? Probably not going happen but it would be crazy if it did.

^ If Biden does step down, time it so that it's like Oct 28th, just one week before the actual election. Eff the Trump as 47th Prez movement/merch, generate global attention, and Harris gets to campaign without the heavy responsibility of Presidency, etc. Power Dem move

Yah to do earlier, what Traum says, doesn't make any sense.

That Sonya Massey shooting is picking up a lot of traction (the woman shot in her apartment by that cop after he told her to move a pot of boiling water off the stove). The story is looking more and more shady as the cops knew the guy fucked up badly and they tried to cover it up.

https://apnews.com/article/sonya-mas...58f68be810df79

Trump is running on the idea of giving police officers full immunity from any prosecution (which is insane).

If the Dems were smart they should use this story all the way up to the election and hammer home how Trump's policies would allow this type of cop to walk away scot-free after literally murdering an unarmed civilian in her own home, in cold blood.

Regardless if it's election year, that's a fucked up story. We complain about Cain in Vancouver, but this shit is a whole other 5 levels of BS

At least this Grayson cop just legit seems like a crazy dude, should have never been given a badge+gun... Cain is something else entirely, that dude made it clear in multiple venues that he knows full well what he's doing at all times, but he just loves making people suffer and abusing power for his own entertainment.

Guess that's the difference between a murderer and a serial killer.

Statement from Vice President Kamala Harris on Sonya Massey

Sonya Massey deserved to be safe. After she called the police for help, she was tragically killed in her own home at the hands of a responding officer sworn to protect and serve. Doug and I send strength and prayers to Sonya’s family and friends, and we join them in grieving her senseless death.

OK this guy NEEDS to be VP just so he can cook Vance over and over

And I fully admit that dooming over Biden quitting was very, very wrong.

Just to reiterate that point. This couldn't have been handled better, and may save the country (and Ukraine)

Say what you want about Biden, but the man served his country for most of his life and did the right thing by stepping down. Sure, there are always politics involved and it's about optics, but I have respect for anyone who can serve their country in any capacity for decades.

Speaking of JD...


This guy sounds and looks like an Ivy League elitist. He has zero personality and is always awkward when doing interviews or speeches. I'm sure he'll have a lot in common with the rural MAGA crowd.

Told you dude. Only Biden's circle were spreading those doom and gloom scenarios. Biden didn't have true support.

Him acting like he won the nomination due to his popularity was a fallacy, he was the only one running

That's like me being stranded on a deserted island eating coconuts, and having someone think my favorite food is coconuts. It's the only damn food there, of course I'm going to eat it. Biden was the only choice available to voters, of course he won the nomination.

The amount of organic excitement you're seeing now that he's stepped down is EXACTLY what we've all been whining about, the Dems just had their collective heads up their asses.

Trump nominated 2 closeted gay men as his VPs, I was reading this report that Grindr crashed during the RNC due to how many dudes were on it. That's hilarious.

These people are fucking weirdos, I have no idea why anyone would support them.

They tell people that minorities are the cause of their problems and make it okay to openly hate them.

There's a point where blaming minorities for literally everything will backfire because all you're doing is helping the Democrats turn out voters, which is why veteran Republicans are pleading for the Trump camp to stop with the DEI nonsense.

Trump won't stop because DEI and blame immigrants is what appeals to their base and is being pushed by his own advisers like Stephen Miller.

Look at this list; the vast majority of these far right loons are closet gays. The best one on the list is Matt Schlapp, who was literally the face of the Conservative Christian right but was caught sexually assaulting men, lol.

Typical Trump, recycling his insults against people... made the claim at a speech that Kamala Harris shouldn't be allowed to run. He's said that about everyone he's ever run against lol

This time was funnier though, he said she shouldn't be allowed to run because of crimes she's committed.

Excuse me? LOL! Will he be tendering his own resignation today if that's the qualifier?

If the sitting VP affirms the election winner, it will be strange in November either way. Harris will either affirm herself as the 47th President or she will have to affirm Trump.

Edit - if Trump wins, of course, she can pull a 'Election was stolen, I'm not affirming the results!' ...
