:---P More tweets at the link.It’s hilarious to watch Republicans, who spent weeks depicting Biden as old and enfeebled, suddenly realize that they’ve foolishly lowered expectations for the debate and with days to go desperately pivot to “he’ll do great because he’s on something.”

To me, anything is better than having the eternal stain of having voted for MAGAt SINO Johnson the johnson.
I still think that the Dems never should have backed him.O Really wrote: Wed Jun 05, 2024 4:35 pmI think it's a different stain to have voted "for" Johnson the johnson vs. the equally accurate and honest voting "against" the alternative. There was no available vote for another repug or for Jeffries. The vote was to keep Johnson the johnson or boot him and go back to repug infight for more weeks with a probable ending of an equally bad or worse Speaker.
So stupid :obscene-birdiered: SINO Johnson the johnson is a lying idiot.Exclusive: CNN survey finds 48 states say Harris can get on ballot instead of Biden, rejecting claim switch breaks state laws
... The findings of a CNN survey of all 50 states undercut the claims of House Speaker Mike Johnson, who said both before and after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race on Sunday that there are legal “impediments” in some states to a party switching presidential candidates as the Democrats did. There was not a single state election authority that told CNN Harris would face a ballot issue as the official nominee;
Both red. In theory Florida could flip, but no one is counting on it.election authorities in two states, Florida and Montana, did not respond to requests for comment, but a review of the states’ ballot access rules suggests Harris is not likely to face an issue there either.
Johnson, a BAD lawyer.Johnson, a lawyer, said on ABC News Sunday that “it would be wrong and I think unlawful in accordance to some of these state rules for a handful of people to go in the backroom and switch it out because they’re – they don’t like the candidate any longer.” He said on CNN Monday that “in some of the states, there are impediments to just switching someone out like that.”
But experts on election law say that is not true, since the Democrats never named Biden as the official 2024 nominee or submitted his name to the states as their 2024 nominee. And election authorities around the country have now confirmed – telling CNN or saying in public statements that Harris will not face any obstacles getting on their ballots if she is formally chosen as the Democratic nominee next month.
... Johnson’s office did not respond to CNN’s requests to identify the “impediments” he claimed some states have.
I wonder why.
Common sense. Only MAGAt cultists like Johnson are stupid enough to argue otherwise.... Derek Muller, a University of Notre Dame law professor who is an expert on election law, said in an email: “Democrats do not have a nominee yet. The nomination formally happens at the convention. Any litigation before the convention challenging the identity of the nominee is about something that hasn’t yet happened. Any challenges after the convention would be challenges to a nominee who received the support of the convention delegates under convention rules. It’s essentially impossible to argue that the nominee is not the true nominee of the party at that point.”

Guessing good odds there's no speaker come January 20.
President-elect Donald Trump abruptly rejected a bipartisan plan Wednesday to prevent a Christmastime government shutdown, instead telling House Speaker Mike Johnson and Republicans to essentially renegotiate — days before a deadline when federal funding runs out.
Trump's sudden entrance into the debate and new demands sent Congress spiraling as lawmakers are trying to wrap up work and head home for the holidays. It leaves Johnson scrambling to engineer a new plan before Friday's deadline to keep government open.
