Not sure if the Constitution is even in effect any longer (I don't think so), but I wonder if Biden could get away with re-assigning 3 of the 6 fascists to other federal courts, and then put 3 more in for Senate confirmation?

One 90 min. "debate", and all that's happened in the last 3 1/2 years doesn't matter. MSM wants a shit-show to sell more ads; boring doesn't help their bottom line.

Exactly. The majority of those on the right are christian zealots - they want to live in a theocracy. As a result, they try to force their narrow mindedness on the rest of us. For a party that supposedly hates big government, they go out of their way to dictate by their "morals".

That was then. They've now unilaterally changed the laws. The Constitution doesn't have any value any more, as they've ignored what's in it. You can't impeach a president if he/she claims that the "high crimes/misdemeanors" were official acts.

This headline right here:

“Calls to replace Biden vs. silence on Trump? America has lost its political mind.
We can't function in a society that holds a normal politician like Biden to a far higher standard than an abnormal politician like Trump.” www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

It would appear that Rep. Jared Golden from Maine is completely detached from reality, and has paid very little attention to what has been going on in the country.

He seems to think that the economy and not democracy is the main issue in this election.

Under today’s immunity decision, Biden could order AG Garland to immediately prosecute Thomas and Alito for corruption and insurrection. (Official act). If Garland refuses, Biden can fire him and replace him with someone who will. (Official act) I would suggest Elie Mystal.

Let's get the full set of facts out there: - Nader didn't design the ballot that caused Jews to vote for Buchannan - Nader didn't tell Gore to not request a full state recount - Nader didn't purge 20000 voters, mostly black Dem voters from the voter rolls

I think you're assuming he wouldn't just discard the Constitution (SCOTUS did), and stay in office until he dies.

Since SCOTUS has now evolved the president to king, what is the purpose of impeachment now? Even if convicted, he could just state that he has immunity, and tell the Senate to go pound sand.

Don't fall for the trap. If Democrats listen to the New York Times and try to replace Biden, the New York Times will have a new narrative: Democrats in chaos. And they will then have 347 stories a week about whoever is the candidate, all focused on how inexperienced and unprepared that person is.

Personally I think that a lot, not all, of "Biden must resign/drop out" pontificating from MSM, is to sell more ads. MSM doesn't rate very highly on the ethics scale.

Aren't the churches these "good" christians go to supposed to teach the bible to them? Why do teachers need to be dragged into it? Clearly this will go to court, where it should be stuck down. Unless it goes before a bible-thumping judge.

260 million Americans will experience temps above 90F this week. Now's a good time to remind you that Trump's inner circle devised a 900+ page plan that includes gutting the EPA, halting clean energy projects, and burning more fossil fuels. It's called Project 2025. Look it up.

No. Perhaps you should try a test: replay the debate, and take Biden's part. In your one minute or two minute time allocation, try to counter all of the lies being spewed, and still try to make your own points.

No one's replacing Biden. Not doing any real-time fact checking by the moderators put the burden on Biden. But when the lies are coming out of firehose, it's a little difficult to keep up. For all intents and purposes, they could have replaced Bash and Tapper with a couple of chat bots.

My guess is that most of them do, because they're racists. They don't understand that without undocumented immigrants, at a minimum crops would not be harvested, meat would not be packed, and buildings would not be built. I doubt that those businesses would support deportation.

What's really disturbing about the debate fiasco is there's no way to be confident that Biden has it in him to pull off the near-flawless execution he'll need to win at this point.

At a minimum, the Bidens owe us a real conversation about that.
