Lux in the Bronx 🎗️: Exactly. We cannot trust them one tiny bit.

I’m on board with the idea that Biden is too old to campaign and should be replaced as the nominee. But calling for him to resign as president is absolute fucking political suicide and I hope the left realizes that’s exactly what the right wing is gunning for right now

Fun fact: if Biden steps down and Harris becomes POTUS, the new VP nominee needs to be approved by both houses of Congress. There's no way that the Republican controlled House would approve one. They will gleefully hamstring her instead.

Exactly and then they plan to cause chaos if they lose the election because there will be no VP to certify the vote

Doesn’t the President Pro Tempore fill in for the VP in presiding over the count if the VP is unavailable?

You can bet that they will file a SCOTUS brief claiming that the ratification isn't valid if there is no VP and SCOTUS will back it up.

I mean, I have a lot of responses about how that would be frivolous since we passed ECA legislation that clarifies the role is *purely* ceremonial, how it’s a nonjusticable question so the Court wouldn’t look at it. …but after the immunity decision I’m just not going to say any of that.

Exactly. We cannot trust them one tiny bit.
