The House GOP is now moving to subpoena multiple WH aides regarding Bidens cognitive state so they can continue making hay out of this through September and October as election approaches. https://www.axios.com/2024/07/10/biden-house-oversight-committee-subpoena-aides I’m reminded of how Speaker Johnson spoke of invoking the 25th Amendment after the debate. But sure, I’m certain this is all happening in good faith bc they want our nation and our allies around the world to be safe. 🙄

Meanwhile there were several very large very well funded oil and gas companies there who were quite pleased with the way he represented them and more or less bankrolled every one of his election wins. /rimshot

Let’s assume for the sake of discussion that there is such a plan. It’s a great plan. The best plan you’ve ever see or heard of. A beautiful plan. How would you implement it, or find it? How would you deal with people who actively block it for their own personal self interest and avarice?

Yeah, I’m like a cockroach that way.

After a stroke, he died today. Good riddance to his bad governance

My bad. I didn't see that, but in retrospect now can.

Unless it highlights a flaw in our model, one which suggests an update is needed

That it equals mass times the speed of light squared

This post should land in the Trash Can, not because it’s ridiculous, but because it’s a waste of bandwidth with no actual discussion points.

Oh, well as long as you’re sure, that’s more than good enough for me! /sarcasm

Turns out the meeting today will also include senate dems

His interview with Stephanopoulos didn’t help, and may even have exacerbated concerns. Minority leader Hakeem Jeffries meets with House Dems Sunday where calls to step aside will only grow more intense

I understand. We were talking passed one another. Apologies for that. My main struggle is how you’re pulling a number out of your butt. My numbers, while not precisely aligned with your focus, were at least able to be validated while in parallel touching upon the remarkably similar / overlapping theme of support.

Yes. I was mentioning direction when using the word reverse. Trying to help the OP visualize. Air conditioners tend to remove heat from inside air and exhaust that heat outdoors. The heat pump water heaters tend to remove heat from outside air and exhaust that heat into the water being warmed. It oversimplified, but I thought might lead to a clearer picture since the nature of the OPs confusion was unclear to me.

Base was your word, not mine.

That thought crossed my mind. My own conclusion is that it would more likely be classed as an assassination instead of a murder, there would be no mens rea (criminal intent) which is required for murder charges, and thus such an act would fall under federal purview and allow for an offer of clemency from the president. But who the hell knows? These are decidedly uncharted waters into which Trumps justices have thrown us.

And also whether any mechanism exists to realistically impede or stop them.

I pray for your success

The President ordering the hit could just pardon them

Fine. 42% instead of 45% as the average, with a recent upward trend since January, and spikes since conviction. Multiple individual polls easily support the range I cited. From 538: Perhaps the better focus here is that your 30% suggestion isn’t even close. 40-48% favorables is the number and that can’t be wished away. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/favorability/donald-trump/

Please elaborate Is the “he” in there supposed to refer to me? I’ve been hoping and advocating for an August surprise where Gavin Newsom takes the reins and Biden rides off to a farm in Delaware since early last year and have repeated that desire often since the primaries concluded, and after he debated DeSantis. I’m also clear that Biden is right when he says this decision is his and nobody’s gonna force him out. On voting day, it only matters who shows up which is my biggest concern for Biden: Apathy and low turnout. Also, poll accuracy is getting more and more difficult as practically nobody answers their cell phones for unknown numbers (aka: pollsters) so the samples are weak and often unrepresentative

Thankfully we don’t need to rely on our intuition and have actual numbers across polling agencies and across the years which consistently show him favorable around 45-48%… consistently, and it only goes up after impeachment and conviction.

Your incredulity isn’t relevant tho

Ope, sorry.
