Semi-Retired and WOKE. Unusual for SC… Graduated HS in ‘71, too late to be drafted for Vietnam. I am concerned about climate change and equality along with responsible and legit government.

The RICH wanna-be Kleptocrats have worked FOR YEARS (Decades) to get to a place where they own the high court, the Prez and both houses. They are close enough to be having wet dreams and they WILL cheat every way they can to get their pawns in place, including a desperate liar name Don

Again, I’m saying Joe resigns NOW to ENSURE Kamala is Our First Woman Prez, not at the convention. It would be the best way to spend some of the love and respect Joe earned.

My wife will vote and vote blue because she is smart but she doesn’t listen to debates, msnbc, cnn or anything about the election, and she totally is soured on Joe. She isn’t jaded and sees reality. She would WELCOME America’s FIRST WOMAN PREZ! I’m in agreement.

A close election will generate a civil war against the trumpoids. We know their plan. We know they plan to cheat worse than EVER BEFORE.

In the interview Joe said he had just done a couple of rally’s just before. WHAT? Who was stupid enough to arrange that? How long have we known the debate date? It just shows 4 years ain’t in the stars. He have to BEAT trump AND defend the election. Kamala is a lawyer and a former AG!

I say Joe can’t handle 4 whole more years so why not just announce a resignation next week and hand the keys to our nation’s FIRST WOMAN President (for sure) and skip the mad rush of old candidates rushing to win the top job if he would later decide to “not run”.

Fetterman is talking w/ Ali Velshi. He is pushing a 2nd term for Biden. He loves what is happening in Israel for starters. He is pushing the idea that some Dems pushing for Biden to step down only want another chance at running.

Solution: Resign, making VP Harris the first woman president, and then support her in all the ways he can through the convention and election. This would be the courageous way and would “Right” the nation!

Good point from Sotomayor here. By barring prosecutors from probing a president's intent, Roberts renders the entire "official vs. unofficial" distinction meaningless.

A president supporting court packing for the explicit purpose of reigning in presidential power, including his own, after a Supreme Court made a wildly un-American, precedent-breaking decision to expand it, would be making the best case for a president to support court-packing.

There is no constitutional text that says presidents are immune from all criminal law. Nor was it the intent of the authors of the Constitution or any amendments. It is inconsistent with American precedent and tradition. They just made it up.

I’ve seen the reasons why Biden won’t do this, but I can’t help wondering how Biden could use his new-found power…. (I have ideas).

Bannon claims on NPR that the 60 courts that declared Trump the 2020 loser were wrong. He claims their arguments were all incorrect. Thanks to the BRAVE NPR reporter that had the guts to challenge Bannon while he interrupted every word the reporter said.

A half dozen red states with extreme right AGs have passed bills allowing any citizen to CHALLENGE multiple people’s legitimacy to vote as late as the day before the election and even DURING Election Day. And they have “alternate electors” ready to challenge if Biden wins the majority. Also:

They are not done. The COUP is in play. Several swing states already have Maggot laws allowing maggots to contest MULTIPLE legit voters as late as the DAY BEFORE Election Day. The Coup is ON! Wake the hell up!

There are two elements to the immunity decision that are particularly extreme in a way that many will miss: (1) motive is irrelevant and (2) immune acts are not just excluded from prosecution, they’re excluded from evidence. /1

The ONLY way we get JUSTICE is to fairly ELECT BIDEN/HARRIS, and be prepared to DEFEND the Jan6 trial and watch trump go into a cell with his insurrectionist buddies. Then trump gets convicted of selling secrets to the Arabs and Putin, which gets him the death penalty.
