No, we dont comply with a damn thing! Blue_Roses Oct 2024 #19

That's my greatest hope -- the prosecutorial experience of Kamala Harris. wnylib Oct 2024 #26

Could happen, I suppose. But we still have Presidency, Senate, DOJ, close in House, and Silent Type Oct 2024 #5

President Biden won with 51.3% of the vote Tweedy Oct 2024 #55

Yeah, if the Electoral College didn't matter. But it does. Agree we have to beat trump. Silent Type Oct 2024 #86

?? President Biden won with 302 electoral college votes Tweedy Oct 2024 #89

Less than 100,000 votes. Silent Type Oct 2024 #94

No. President Biden with millions of votes. Tweedy Oct 2024 #95

Biden could resign so Harris could take over. Mr.WeRP Oct 2024 #6

That's an interesting suggestion. It would be seen as wnylib Oct 2024 #12

Fuck MAGATs feelings orangecrush Oct 2024 #18

It's not their feelings that would concern me. wnylib Oct 2024 #30

Agree. This is not a case of abuse of power onetexan Oct 2024 #66

If she won the election, then anyone who opposes certification Mr.WeRP Oct 2024 #79

No if Biden turned over to Harris before J6 Captain Zero Oct 2024 #80

Not if she won Prince99 Oct 2024 #25

If she won, that woud make it appear to be a legitimate wnylib Oct 2024 #41

Okay, why? Blue_Roses Oct 2024 #48

Biden is allowed to resign for whatever reason Mr.WeRP Oct 2024 #76

That sounds good, but.... Bayard Oct 2024 #13

After she arrests those involved in the coup Mr.WeRP Oct 2024 #77

why would he need to resign to do this? edisdead Oct 2024 #32

He could, but it's her fight Mr.WeRP Oct 2024 #38

She could lose all of her political capital SomedayKindaLove Oct 2024 #83

Al Gore did it Bayard Oct 2024 #14

Nah. Gore presided over the J6 vote count in the 2000 election wnylib Oct 2024 #15

It's in the constitution Fiendish Thingy Oct 2024 #33

Exactly. GHW Bush did it in 1988, a contest johnnyfins Oct 2024 #75

They could do that.... OAITW r.2.0 Oct 2024 #11

The truth might be even more simple: he has nothing, but is telling people he'll reveal a big thing in 2 weeks JHB Oct 2024 #16

How does that get him into the WH? wnylib Oct 2024 #17

It doesn't. TwilightZone Oct 2024 #21

Hmm. I heard similar comments in 2020, prior to J6. wnylib Oct 2024 #29

It doesn't. And he knows it. But it's one more thing to get the MAGAts believing he's got it... JHB Oct 2024 #23

That's exactly what it is. I don't know why we keep falling for this shit. TwilightZone Oct 2024 #20
