Official Presidential Debate Thread - Live TYT coverage

I'm hearing it's going to be Kamala Harris as the Democrat candidate and it's going to be announced in the next couple of weeks.

I was in high school when all that played out with Nixon. Back then there's seemed to be a higher sense of honor or perceived integrity... even though, just as much lying and shady shit went on behind the scenes as it does today. I don't believe Nixon would get a pass today for the same crap under the recent SCOTUS ruling. It didn't fall under the "official" acts element.

Given the last 8 years I'm really really surprised that you think that and I disagree.

Hell, even at the time, Nixon tried to argue that nothing he did was illegal.... because he was the President!

I dunno. I don't think she's likeable to get elected on her own. They'd probably leave the ticket as it is, and then Biden gets 25th'ed and we're stuck with Harris.

Here's my theory on this whole clusterfuck.....

I believe the corporate "democrats" are downplaying this all right now because the Republican Convention/KKK rallly/MAGAt fan club meeting is next week. The play here is probably to let them run against Biden, and not give them any free ammunition by naming another candidate.

After the GOP convention is over though, it's time to get serious. Either you open up the Democratic convention in August to a delegate floor battle, or you go the 25th amendment route with Joe stepping down and Kamala running as an "incumbent" President for the last three months or so. Either way, they must have a name to put on the ballot by the end of the convention, or every last "red state" is going to put up some bullshit legal arguments to keep the Democratic ticket off the ballot altogether. Granted, in some red states, this wouldn't matter. But in Georgia? North Carlolina? Arizona? maybe even Texas? I'll even go way out on the limb and throw Utah in, because as hard right as that state is, the Mormons really can't stand the orange bastard. I believe they voted for their own local third party guy in either 2016 or 2020.

So apparently Biden just introduced Zelensky at the NATO summit.... and called him "Putin" .

Go home Joe. Seriously.....

That's ok that we disagree... we both have very different perspectives given the geographical separation, age and I do admit... y'all got far better beer. You're alright no matter what Von says about you.

[FORD]

Geezus.... now he referred to Scamala as "vice president Trump".

[Seshmeister]

Jesus...

[ZahZoo]

This is just getting to be a sad progression... there's no amount of public engagements that correct the core issue for President Biden. Time and age don't come with a reverse option... only a rearview mirror. Bless his heart...

Right wing "Democrat" Adam Smith admits to something that we all knew........

Now Adam, why don't you tell us what you know about the Hillbots in the King County democratic party coming up with that bullshit inner ballot envelope in the 2020 WA primary (after already cancelling the caucus because Hillcunt lost it BOTH times (first to Barry, then to Bernie). A deliberately confusing ballot envelope which was never used in any other election before or since, and quite obviously was a trick to eliminate Bernie votes and rig the primary for Biden.

Simple mathematics... you don't beat Hillary by 76% in 2016 and then lose in 2020. This fucking pisses me off to no end that we could have had the 21st century equivalent of FDR for the last almost 8 years, and instead we got a cartoon fascist, followed by a barely coherent geezer. And the entire country has suffered for it. Probably the rest of the planet to some extent.
