Republicans want Biden to resign right now.

[Jeebo]

That was the suggestion a few minutes ago on MSNBC. If that's what Republicans want, here is why, I think: They know that Kamala Harris would not get her choice for a new vice president through the House and Senate. I believe that is subject to confirmation by both the House and the Senate. It would be problematic at best for that nominee to get past this House of Representatives. So, a President Kamala Harris without a vice president for the next five months would mean a) Mike Johnson would be a heartbeat away from the presidency, and b) more importantly, there would not be a Democratic vice president overseeing the certification process of the electoral college votes on January 6, 2025. I don't think there is a high probability of Joe Biden resigning the presidency in the next five months, but then, I didn't think it was likely he would bow out of the race, either. But Joe definitely needs to stay in office and serve out his full term. I want Vice President Kamala Harris overseeing that certification process on January 6, 2025. And of course, I also hope and believe that she will at that time also be the President-elect. My two cents worth.

1. No f'cking way. Let him round up all the traitors first

Including the orange puss bag.

[Eliot Rosewater]

53. Fantasies can come true!

[Bluethroughu]

65. I hope so...the top tier insurrectionists need to be in prison,

And I mean Congressmen, Supreme Court members and wives, and the big money funders of that attack, like overstock dude.

The fool tools at the lower level have been being picked up, but what we've learned from Smedley Butler is, if there are no consequences for the traitors, no matter how rich they are, they will come back and try again.

What else do they have to do?
Bored rich people do not act well in society.

[Deuxcents]

2. He stepped out of the race..not the presidency. We have to accept that but resign? Not gonna happen

[Pisces]

3. Who cares what they want

[anciano]

18. Exactly.

Thank you

[Goodheart]

37. I wish Biden would say that publicly.

That would be a hoot.

[redqueen]

54. This exactly. The MSM is not our friend.

They want to start drama for advertising $.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

4. I want President Biden to serve the remainder of his term but according to Pro. Lichtman that would help Harris

The test/factors used would favor the incumbent. I do not care about this test and I want President Biden to stay in

[Cattledog]

11. Wrong because the US would be without a VP

[onecaliberal]

40. And johnson would have to certify the electoral votes, so No!

[dsc]

46. Nope the Senate Pro Tem would

and that would either be Senator Murray or Senator Grassley depending upon who wins the Senate in Nov.

[Eliot Rosewater]

66. Look at how bad it is now , that we are dealing with

The certainty that a ranking Republican WILL violate the Constitution and the law if put in position to make any type of important decision.

Not might, will.

I promised to say only positive things from here on in but this is yet another example of what I meant when I said our society is broken.

[edisdead]

64. And johnson would be the defacto VP

and we already know they have mbers with guns that shoot at campaign rallies.


FUCK EVERY LAST BIT OF THAT NOISE!!!!

[Frasier Balzov]

5. If Democrats still control the Senate

Patty Murray as President Pro Tempore oversees the electoral count, doesn't she?

And anyway, even if that role switches to some Republican senator after the election, there are pretty strict rules about disqualifying electoral votes.

Hopefully, the repairs to the Electoral Vote Count Act would keep imposters from committing sabotage like they did with their fake certifications last time.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

34. I believe so

In absence of a VP the president pro tem oversees. That’s why Grassley was champing at the bit in 2020.
That said, we’d still need to hold the Senate.

[obamanut2012]

6. Told my wife the exact same thing

Right on.

[Raven123]

7. Ok. Pound away guys.

[bpj62]

8. Speaker Johnson

Johnson called for Biden to resign immediately because his own party forced him out. However you are correct as both houses have to approve the nomination and there is no way in hell that the house will approve any nomination.
The Republicans are not done screwing with Biden. I bet their next move is an attempt to impeach him.

[BOSSHOG]

32. Joes got immunity

His dropping out was an official act. So sayeth slappy and Sammy the rat.

[dalton99a]

9. Republicans can go fuck themselves and jump off a bridge.

[livetohike]

10. They're scared. Pres. Biden has 6 more months and he

is not going to sit in a rocking chair and waste time.

[awesomerwb1]

12. They can go fu** themselves.

And stop rewarding these click bait channels with your viewership.

[Carlitos Brigante]

13. They can eat a bag of assholes. Fuck them and their theocracy. nt

[MustLoveBeagles]

35. Hear hear

[ecstatic]

14. if they refuse to fill in the VP slot, we should bombard every media outlet nonstop

They'd be directly interfering with the functioning and security of the United States. Do not let them get away with it. Pound them non stop until they do what the fuck they have to do.

[kentuck]

15. As an old saying used to go:

Wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which gets full first?

[Raftergirl]

16. Who cares what any Republican says?

[ImNotGod]

17. Anyone beholding to deep pocket donors as we have seen already. nt

[Just_Vote_Dem]

19. Joe doesn't take orders from Repubs n/t

[Goodheart]

20. That would help Harris, you republican dumbfucks.

[liberalhistorian]

21. FUCK them all!

Why the hell should anyone care WTF they want or think? Despite their arrogance, it ain't up to them in the slightest!

[osteopath6]

22. Republicans

Wanted party insiders to ratfk the voters by replacing our proven incumbent nominee with a tremendous record and zooming economy at the last minute!

Why would they listen to them????

If we get behind Harris ASAP we can still run on that record and economy, but what about the damage all the back and forth has done? Why is it just taken for granted that this can be undone?

[LudwigPastorius]

23. "Republicans want Biden to resign right now."

They'll get nothing, and they'll fucking like it.

[Sunsky]

24. Of course they would

I don't give a damn what they want just as much as how they don't give a damn what I want.

[2naSalit]

25. Well...

2naSalit wants them to take a collective leap off the planet.

[Skittles]

26. FUCK what they want

FUCK THOSE TRAITORS

[MustLoveBeagles]

41. Well said

[GPV]

27. Fuck no!

[Best_man23]

28. And people in Hell want ice water

Republicants can get bent.

[Cha]

56. Lol... and they can just fucking go Thirsty.

[StarryNite]

29. Fuck them!

Let them deal with their big orange elephant in the room. Stay out of our business.

[edisdead]

30. of course they do

and of course we knew this would happen

[Johnny2X2X]

31. LOL

Sure. And I want Trump to drop out right now.

[onecaliberal]

33. Republicans want to elect a rapist who tried to overthrow the government.

We no longer give a single fuck what they want.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

44. Short and pithy... well said!!

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

36. they said they were going to do that.

[Tribetime]

38. I want felon to drop out

[DSandra]

39. Who cares about what the fascists want?

As far as I'm concerned, any desires that they have are illegitimate the moment they decided to become enemies with the constitution.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

42. Of course they do... no fuckin' way!! The Rethugs are just pissed cuz they know they're gonna lose!!

[Emile]

43. Johnson would resign immediately and Trump would replace

him as Speaker.

[kansasobama]

45. I know Lichtman keys but

Time is too short. It will be like making her President for name sake. If she locks up delegates, it will be like incumbent and Lichtman keys are valid.

If she becomes President, she will have a day job. Not good if she has to campaign. And she needs lot of time prosecuting Project 2025.

[jmbar2]

47. Wonder if they are trying to push Dems into an error that would facilitate a Heritage lawsuit.

I know that Marc Elias says there are no legal problems with Biden bowing out and Harris stepping in. Maybe this is Johnson's hail mary.

[Island Blue]

48. And I want the

felon out on bail / adjudicated rapist / Epstein Island loving/ wanna be dictator/ lying, cheating, stealing , traitorous orange sack of trans fats to drop out of the race but it’s not up to me to decide. (Neither was Biden dropping out, but here we are.)

[ecstatic]

49. that's reverse psychology. If he resigns, that benefits us, not them

KH would be the incumbent going into the election.

[Mortos]

50. I have the same response to Republicans demands on Democrat as I had for Manchin's advise for Dems

Go fuck yourselves! We don't give a fuck what you want nor did any Democrat request or desire your advice. Shut the fuck up and go worship your traitorous candidate for president and let Dems handle our party.

[Omnipresent]

51. The pressure isn't really on us, it's on them.

They now have the oldest man running for president.
That man is also a convict, with a terrible storied past of fumbling crisis like the federal government’s response of handling a pandemic, where hundreds of thousands needlessly died.
That man has a reputation of being an outright doucebag!
Kamala is going to bury Trump!

[B.See]

52. FUCK Republicans

[SamKnause]

55. There are no republicans.

They have morphed into the party of trump.

I don't give a fuck what any of them want.

I want all of them to buy a big island and disappear from this country.

The majority of them are not fit to live among decent humans.

[Beartracks]

57. Yeah, i caught a Republican strategist on NBC implying to Lester Holt...

... that if Biden is too infirm (or words to that effect) to run for another 4 years, he's probably too infirm to keep the job now. Notwithstanding that that's not how things work in the real world when folks plan to retire, it was obvious that this seemed to be some new "talking point" that Republicans were going to start spouting off about.

==============

[hatrack]

58. Yes, and I want Baron von Shitzenpantz to go to prison right now . . .

Neither will happen.

[bullimiami]

59. Republicans are fucking insane. Ignore them.

[Dave Bowman]

60. Yeah well, I want a flying car but it's not gonna happen.

[Raven123]

61. Any transition to POTUS takes time. Harris can campaign virtually full time as VP.

They hate that idea.

[Greybnk48]

62. Biden has 6 months of absolute power with Presidential immunity!

He can get A LOT done in 6 months! And knowing Joe Biden, he'll make them count!

[louslobbs]

63. You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, well, you just might find
You get what you need

[NoSheep]

67. But he's not going to and he doesn't have to so WHY tell us what Republicans want?
