Harris or else?

Harris is being an ‘understudy’ for Biden, stepping away from spotlight: Deroy Murdock
Fox News contributor Deroy Murdock provides insight into why Vice President-elect Kamala Harris has been ‘silent’ during the coronavirus relief talks.

Joe Biden will be our next president. But he will face Nemesis in a way that few other presidents have ever encountered the cruel Greek god. Biden’s hubris and that of the left-wing media-Democratic Party fusion almost guarantee such divine retribution.

Once the last of the other Democratic primary candidates dropped out and Biden was nominated, all prior negative media stories about his alleged cognitive decline and his family’s financial entanglements disappeared.

From April 2020 on, a virtual news blackout surrounded Biden. His rare interviews were scripted. Biden communiques were teleprompted. Press conferences were either nonexistent or revolved around his favorite milkshake or his socks.

JONATHAN TURLEY: JOE BIDEN DODGES QUESTIONS ON HUNTER BY RIDICULING REPORTERS. BUT WHY TALK ABOUT PONIES?

Mentions of Hunter Biden’s business dealings in China and Ukraine were taboo. It was sinful to reference reports of a Hunter Biden email allegedly detailing a 10% distribution of such revenue to the "Big Guy" — presumably Joe Biden.

Unlike Donald Trump, Joe Biden never really campaigned. After the primaries, he outsourced his fall 2020 campaign to subordinates and pet journalists to attack Trump.

So is Biden the centrist old Joe from Scranton, or the recently reinvented hard-left running mate of Kamala Harris? Both or neither? Will he keep the booming pre-COVID-19 Trump economy to claim as his own? Or will he go full socialist to apply a Bernie Sanders-style makeover to it?

A President Biden cannot avoid the press forever. He will soon face unscripted meetings with foreign leaders. He will have to meet dozens of movers and shakers each week. Is he or the nation prepared for the consequences of his return to normality after nearly a year of media fawning and forced isolation?

To win, the Democrats knowingly drafted the 77-year old Biden (who has since turned 78) to put a familiar veneer on radical agendas that had frightened primary voters. At times, Democrats seemed fated to be directly tied to the statue toppling, protesting, rioting and violence that plagued American cities for much of the summer.

Given the Democrats’ Faustian bargain with their leftmost faction, destructive rumors about Biden’s faculties or his family’s financial escapades will more likely come from his own party’s left wing, eager for a Harris presidency, rather than from the Republican opposition.

Biden will enter office with an ethical cloud hanging over his head — one that could have been vetted and adjudicated rather than blacked out for most of this year. His son, brother and perhaps family associates may talk if faced with FBI and IRS probes, if not a special counsel investigation.

It will not help Biden that to defeat Trump, many of our institutions were deformed. Special counsels usually never receive a blank check — 22 months and $32 million — to assemble a team of partisans to investigate a new president on mostly hearsay evidence and an opposition-concocted dossier.

But that precedent ended with the ill-conceived Robert Mueller investigation. By spring, Biden could have done to him what was done to Trump — and what Biden himself so frequently cheered on.

Nor do we impeach presidents often, especially knowing that the Senate will acquit them when there is no alleged crime as outlined in the Constitution. That bar is also gone.

Should the Republicans hold the Senate and take the House in 2022, they could do what the Democrats did in 2020. But if they were to impeach Biden as a possible beneficiary of his family’s foreign influence-peddling, a Republican-controlled Senate might not so easily acquit him.

Biden variously called Trump supporters "ugly folk" and "chumps." He compared the president to Joseph Goebbels, Adolf Hitler’s Nazi propagandist. Biden smeared Trump by referring to him as the nation’s first racist president.

Half the nation will take some time to forget all that. The repair of warped protocols will take longer, given that the left forgot the ancient Thucydidean warning to us not to destroy the very institutions whose protections one day we may need.

Biden should hope that a rogue FBI does not conduct freelance investigations of him the way it did regarding Trump. Let Biden pray there is not a partisan medical community to diagnose him as impaired and suited for 25th Amendment removal, as was the case with Trump.

Biden should hope that if Republicans hold the Senate in January, they do not mimic the Democratic habit of voting against nearly every Trump nominee. If they were to do that as a majority party in both chambers of Congress, Biden would have trouble confirming even a single judge.

So let us celebrate Biden’s call to unity.

But Biden should hope that the opposition will not do to him and his party what the Democrats did so bitterly to Trump.

Ruined a marriage or two on the way up. But the husbands didn't have to say yes. She's worse than a common street hooker.

Can a president force the vice president to step down?

[geezerbiker]

If Biden and Harris end up in office there will not be another chance in 4 years.  There will never be another honest election ever in the US without a civil war.

It is far-far too engrained in more than half of all Americans that gun ownership is a GOD GIVEN right.  You cannot manufacture bodies for that fight like you can manufacture votes.  If the Left wants a fight, they will get it in and get it in SPADES.  Those of us in support of the Constitution and the RKBA, those of us with more than a single working brain cell, those of us who have sworn the oath would like take it to them.  When provoked, we WILL give them much better than we get.

I would dare say that if confronted by government officials demanding they turn in all their guns. 90% of all Americans would.
Just like wearing their masks. FEAR, of government reprisals is a powerful thing.

I agree. Just remember though that it was the same way during the time of the colonists. Only 3% were willing to stand and fight against gun confiscation but that was all it took.

Agreed on the3%. BUT! The British government was fighting with the same technology as the colonists.
Civilian militias now days are no match for todays war making technology. Even civilian satellite imagery can be cancelled with the flip of a switch.
Most all technology is under the control of the government. Technology wins nowadays.

[Argent 88]

The Mexican cartels and gangs operating in this country will ensure that they're people are able to fight back.
This, defunding the police, and open borders will only make it easier for them.

So..All the Cops and the Military will Turn on the People?

Did I say that? Don't think so.

Will police officers, and military soldiers fight AGAINST the civilian population? SOME WILL. It's a historical fact.

Will a rogue government lay down to anemic militias. Don't count on it. It won't.

Am I saying: lay down and submit? Didn't say that either.

If anyone is gonna to stand up, now is the time. If the election is successfully stolen this time, the new liberal government  will immediately start reinforcing itself.

Absolutely. The only way American patriots could win in this era is with a majority support from the military. It's guaranteed that some military will "follow orders" but luckily a majority of the military is comprised of the good guys who at a bare minimum will not fire on Americans.
