Subdeacon Joe Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 5 minutes ago, Blackwater 53393 said: They instituted a process for selecting a new VP in the wake of Agnew's departure. Not quite. The 25th Amendment was a response to the vacancy of the office of Vice President when Johnson assumed the office of President. Introduced in 1965 and ratified in 1967. In my opinion a huge mistake. The Constitution already had it covered. That is what allowed Gerald Ford to become the only person who has been both president and vice president without being elected by the electoral College.

Maddog McCoy SASS #5672 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 There was a guy I worked with long ago that was from Jamaica. He was very dark skinned and I was told never to call him African-American (black or anything else) as he felt it was an insult. He was like 6' 5 and I watched him pickup a 100lb gearbox and carried to the maintenance shop without any help. I stayed on his good side. On that note, I don't care where she is from or her parents, I just know I will not vote for her and Biden. Time to be quiet now before I get in trouble.

Well, the year of my nativity was The Year of Our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred Fifty-seven. So I was too young to clearly remember the first half, and too young to be able to enjoy not remembering the second half. (about a month ago I went in for a blood draw for some tests and when the [very cute] tech asked for my date of birth I loudly declaimed, "I was born on Thursday, the twenty-sixth day of September, in the Year of our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred Fifty-seven." and, without missing a beat she asked, "Was it sunny or cloudy?"

Blackwater 53393 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Ms. Harris is guilty of cultural appropriation!! She has claimed parts of several cultures when it suited her purpose or furthered her poetically!! She constantly talks out of both sides of her pie hole, telling whoever is listening whatever she thinks they want or ought to hear!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clay Mosby Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I gotcha beat by 6 years Joe! Several months ago I told East Coast Filly that the left was picking the president when they selected a vp. I predicted that Biden wouldn't last a month before he had an "issue", was declared unfit, and the vp took over. Harris is only after one thing, power for Harris, and will do or say anything to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go West Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 The proposed VP candidates were all awful, but at least now we know exactly who it is. Someone who never garnered more than 2% as a Presidential candidate. Although many pretend otherwise, she is not very likable or electable. The worrisome part is that if Big Tech censorship, MSM shameless promotion and voter fraud make a significant difference, KH would be the likely President before the next term is up. I would hope that a desire for 2nd Amendment preservation, low taxes, law and order and a booming economy among other things would bring about a landslide Trump victory.

DeaconKC Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 They would keep Biden as President for 2+ years, then Harris would take over and be able to run for 2 more terms, as someone cannot serve more than 10 years as President.

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I am pretty confident that most Pards, on here, know to, and will, vote, this coming November. What we need to make sure of is: our family votes, our friends vote, our neighbors vote, our co-workers vote, our fellow church members vote, and in fact every one that owns a firearm, or anyone that knows anyone that owns a firearm, should vote. Vote for the people that support us. I won't try to tell anyone who to vote for...but...unless you have been in a coma for the last 40 years, you already know who to vote for. I think we all need to send a message. Whether or not they will listen, is something I am not sure of. But, I am sick and tired of them using the lame excuse: "the vote was close, so there is no clear mandate". Horse....feathers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 If ole sniffin' Joe can't make it full term, then Kamala could recommend ole Hillary, who was pseudo-president under Monica's main squeeze, or...let's not forget Michelle...the other pseudo-president, in the obamanation administration. Good grief....as if covid-19 wasn't enough to worry about. Try not to get any chap-stick on your firearms, as you kiss them goodbye. Time will tell....

Some folk believe that's how he was elected in '16 ~ votes against Hillary. Hell... for those of us in this state we lose no matter what. If he/she win, we get what we get. If they lose, we still have her as our senator. Hey, here's an novel though! If they do win, maybe bands and gangs of Republicans and Independents should march and demonstrate and riot and (gently) topple garden statuary and spray paint fireplugs with washable paint and soap windows and blow duck calls...

Tequila Shooter Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I for one am very, very happy with the nomination of Ms. Harris. If there were any Republicans that didn't care whether they voted or not now see a need to. If they would've nominated someone who was more conservative he'd have stood a better chance IMHO.
