Sunday might be the busiest travel day ever, on the same weekend the economy added over 200,000 jobs. But he's three years older than a dictator in waiting.

Heard that quite a bit myself. It’s actually been even worse than I imagined then.

But if he does win, I hope he at least considers turning over the keys to Kamala before it’s too late. Biden would be 86 at the end of a second term. Kamala is younger and more vital. She’s just the shot in the arm the country really needs right now, with two old, white, male candidates.

I will vote for Biden's warmed up corpse over Donald Trump.

However, if Biden steps down soon, or steps down after he (hopefully) wins reelection? I'm totally cool with President Kamala Harris. She was my first pick in 2020 before she dropped out.

How can a member of our civilian government ever be forced to go before a military tribunal? This tells you a LOT about Trump's plans to weaponize the Armed Forces against civilians. Be alarmed. Be VERY alarmed.

Rudy Giuliani disbarred permanently by state of New York. Yes, you get disbarred for telling LIES to courts. Repeatedly. Trump LOST the 2020 election, fair and square. Claims of fraud were false. And now Rudy is finally starting to pay the price for those lies.

So, just to be clear, SCOTUS is now saying that using fake electors, ordering your VP to refuse certification on election results, threatening state governors & inciting a coup are all considered "official" acts of the president? So, Watergate is perfectly legal now, as is Iran-Contra. Jeezus...

All I know is that it wouldn't require a 2/3rds majority, as you'd need to amend the Constitution since SCOTUS size isn't fixed by the Constitution. A simple majority, maybe? But you know the "independents" like Manchin & Sinema would side with Republicans.

You're the only person I've seen today who feels the same as I do; if Biden has his new 'power,' maybe he should start wielding it against a declared threat to democracy.

We now have a King, not a President. I just hope King Biden has the good sense to use the power to protect us and doesn't fall for the same old game of we play by the rules and Republicans do not. They made you King. Act like it.

Goddammit.
Alright then, Biden...make that call to Navy SEAL Team 6 to deal with that "Code Orange" threat to our democracy. Oh, and Kamala? You can refuse to certify the election if Trump wins this November...
