Which begs the question as to the source of $200+ mil foreign campaign contributions.
me thinks Bush is being suspiciously quiet about all of this.
Were you born a cynic, or is it an acquired aspect?
subsitute her for what? Biden? they can’t just name a fresh president elect.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. It could be that it doesn't exist, or it could be that he's playing rope-a-dope...hoping that hysteria will reach a fever pitch before produucing it and discrediting the right. I have no idea which explanation is correct -- but it's wise for us to tread lightly until these lawsuits play out.
No, I’m a realist. You?
But wouldn't the Clintons have used their connections in the Democratic party to make sure this was done if there was any chance of it working?
Excellent post bookmark!!
Thanks for that info. I am glad Keyes is honest and lays it out straight.
It seems to me that GWB remains president until he is replaced by an elected president confirmed by the Electoral Committee. GWB's term doesn't end on a specific date. It ends when a new president is sworn in. A VP becomes president only when he replaces the acting president. Note: This is my layman speculation. How do the constitutional lawyers assess the situation?
I know - apparently factcheck.org is the only reliable source for info. /s
There are specific rules....IIRC: The VP would act as President until a duly certified President could assume the office.
“But wouldn’t the Clintons have used their connections in the Democratic party to make sure this was done if there was any chance of it working?”
Not if they could have more POWER by not saying a word! Haven’t you noticed that ZERO is actually installing the old Clinton Cronies to every post and paddock in his team?
Well, obviously I think trying to foist an unconstitutional candidate on the country would be grounds for disqualifying That Party from choosing the replacement!
WHY that would be black-mail! Are we allowed to say “black”? ;~)
You have to remember something, and it’s something very scary. The left in infiltrating many of the most important aspects of society (cultural, educational) didn’t spare civil service. You’ve got leftists infesting entire governmental departments in Washington, including State and Justice. Gargantuan numbers of “fellow travellers” whose goal is to undermine Republican/Conservative administrations. Just electing a President isn’t enough, you’ve got to tackle the culture of these individual departments. They’re going to work overtime to stop any and all investigations (or “persecutions”) of liberal pols, positions, shibboleths, you name it.
I’ve reached the point that maybe we should go back to the good old days of the 19th century prior to the Civil Service reforms so we can at least appoint loyalists at the start of an administration that aren’t actively working to undermine it. As it stands, under Civil Service, the gargantuan numbers of leftist/Democrats are protected under it and Republicans/Conservatives aren’t seemingly much at all, whatever few are even there. The False Messiah will have a VERY warm and favorable army of hacks awaiting to follow his orders in January and carry out a radical agenda and full-on assault on the Constitution. Scary stuff.
It seems to me that in recent days I have become a fatalist.
>>>subsitute her for what? Biden? they can’t just name a fresh president elect.
Hmmm.. interesting silver lining... I actually don’t know.
That means that maybe, just maybe a lot of mind numbed liberal sheep will actually read the constitution just to get offended by the presence of God again... and again... and again... hehe.
That big AHhhhhhhhhhhhh you heard was a lot of people feeling your pain....
