So will Biden run again or not? Who will be his running mate if he does?

What if he wises up, dumps Kamala, and and picks Fetterman as VP? It’s a no brainer.

You'll like who we install, honest! But if we want your opinion, we'll look at a few ballots. Thanks for playing and have a great weekend.

I still believe he wants to be a wartime president. The man's narcissism is only surpassed by his stupidity. He's spent 50 years in DC with zero consequences for any of his profound stupidity, lack of ethics, or overt corruption. He's been conditioned to think he can do what he wants. Combined with his mental infirmity, poor character, and low IQ, you have a recipe for evil and a never ending quest for power.

I think they'll have to bring in Pelosi, Schumer, and Obama to tell him that if he doesn't step down, they will greenlight impeachment and removal. I hope he tells them to pound sand, forcing Dems to greenlight removal or go with the 25th Amendment.

25th Amendment is interesting - this from constitutioncenter.org

Section 4 is the most controversial part of the 25th Amendment: It permits the vice president and either the Cabinet or a body approved “by law” formed by Congress, to jointly agree that “the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.” In theory, this clause was designed to deal with a situation where an incapacitated president could not tell Congress that the vice president needed to act on his behalf. It has never been invoked yet.

The most recent guidance from the Congressional Research Service identifies the amendment’s potential use. The report from 2018 includes concepts discussed during the congressional debates about the 25th Amendment in the 1960s.

The CRS says a majority of current or acting heads of 15 cabinet positions would need to agree with the vice president to invoke the 25th Amendment. The other potential actor, a disability review panel, would need to be established by a statute that is signed by the president, or if vetoed, approved by two-thirds of the House and Senate. That panel is not currently established.

Senator Birch Bayh, who played a critical role in championing the 25th Amendment, explained in February 1965 that Section 4 was designed to deal with “an impairment of the President’s faculties, meaning that he is unable either to make or communicate his decisions as to his own competency to execute the powers and duties of his office.”

Another 25th Amendment author, Rep. Richard Poff, identified two examples in April 1965 where Section 4 could be invoked. “One is the case where the President by reason of some physical ailment or sudden accident is unconscious or paralyzed and therefore unable to make or to communicate the decision to relinquish the powers of his Office. The other is the case when the President, by reason of mental debility, is unable or unwilling to make any rational decision, including particularly the decision to stand aside.”

Regardless of the reason to invoke the 25th Amendment, Congress set a high bar to allow its use. Once the vice president and either the Cabinet or a body approved by Congress agree to invoke the amendment, the vice president is allowed immediately to “assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.” The president can notify Congress that “no inability exists” and he “shall resume the powers and duties of his office” unless the vice president and the Cabinet or body formed by Congress jointly object.

If not in session, Congress is required to convene within 48 hours once the 25th Amendment is invoked. When in session, Congress has 21 days to settle the question if the president notifies Congress in writing that no inability exists. The vice president and the Cabinet or disability body have four days to file an objection to the president’s declaration within that 21-day time frame. If no objection is filed, the president resumes his duties. If the president’s declaration is contested, two-thirds of the House and Senate must agree to allow the vice president to act as president until the president is considered able to serve, and the president can file another declaration about his ability to serve after Congress votes on the question.


Special note - the CRS product they mentioned came out in 2018. The Congressional Research Service responds to requests from members of Congress to produce information briefs in key topics of interest to them. The fact that the CRS published a document in 2018 on the 25th amendment means a member of Congress sent that request, which means they were contemplating this during Trump's term. Just another way they were scheming to remove him from office.

Yes.

Biden+Fetterman would be an actual no brainer ticket.

The Deep State runs this Nation, with the MSM backing them up. It does not matter who 'runs', Democrat or Republican, as it is the System that is corrupt to the core, and as such, cannot be made righteous from within said System.

We are headed to a collapse and reboot. And God only knows what from there.
