    @Copper said in Fauci describes Whitehouse meeting as 'Superspreader Event': Are you implying that somebody can say with scientific certainty who spread what? Not at all. What Dr. Fauci appears to be saying is that they didn't apply sufficient precautions. One person had it, then lots of people had it, and according to photo's I've seen pretty much nobody was doing anything to prevent this from happening.

    @George-K said in The 25th.: Ari Fleischer just commented that, under the 25th amendment, a letter has to be sent to the President saying that he's not competent/able to exercise his duties. If he responds, and says "Nope, I'm fine," then two thirds of the Senate AND two thirds of the House have to vote to remove him from office. Fleischer says that's even a higher bar than impeachment. If the ⅔ of the House clause is applicable, he's right. So, in context of what Jolly asked, let's play that game... Biden wins the election, and within months, Speaker Pelosi introduces a resolution the President Biden is not able to execute the duties of the presidency. She has to get 66 Senators and (too lazy to do the arithmetic) a huge majority of the House to agree. Does anyone think that'll happen? I don't, and I don't think Pelosi does either. The only way I can see Harris assuming the office of POTUS is if Biden resigns. Perhaps he can be convinced of that, thought. A stroke? Or two? Brain aneurysm? Coma? Fatal heart attack? Kamala sent me her Christmas wish list.

    You don’t need a grand conspiracy to explain the move to virtual when the president has an active Covid infection

    @Jolly How is the commission chosen? Edit to add something that has nothing to do with the topic of this forum thread! LOL I have a lot of respect for Senator Dole. I think I mentioned that I was able to "tag along" on an Honor Flight, which takes World War 2 veterans for a day trip to Washington DC. If he is feeling well, he is always there to greet the veterans at the World War 2 memorial. (Of course, this was before the COVID.)

    @George-K said in America's Paper of Record, again, foretold the future: @jon-nyc said in America's Paper of Record, again, foretold the future: It will have the effect of reigning in the court. Ahem. "Reining." Maybe it was a Freud slip?? LOL

    @Jolly Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on your point of view, I think it will more more than balanced by people who voted for President Trump in the last election but will either vote for VP Biden this time around or will not vote at all.

    Well if there are delays the result will look very much like what happened in the House in 2018 where each day more and more democrats kept on winning.
