If he violated immigration law, would that mean that his citizenship was granted on false grounds?

Because they think that he will hurt people that they've been led to hate.

It shouldn't mean lower prices; deflation is bad, we just want a low rate of inflation. What we do want is for wages to outpace that, and for the past couple of years, they have for people at the lower end of the scale (which is also good)

It's a really interesting test of how much conventional campaigning and turnout strategies really matter nowadays.

Quite a bit of what we do is because "we've always done it this way," and there's surprisingly little data on what actually makes a difference in an election at this level where both of the candidates are universally known.

I'd start by assuming that he's either being paid somehow for suddenly supporting TikTok or if there's something else in it for him. With trump, usually "it's grift" is the likely explanation for many things.

Fedora is the best thing ever to be in the world 🌎

Of course, but I don't think that him as the VP candidate changes the odds of that much relative to the other contenders who don't come with that risk.

VP candidates don't usually matter much in an election unless they're freaks with a couch fetish or something weird like that.

Assuming Harris wins, the first midterm federal election is usually ugly for the president's party, so it'd be a risk. Especially coming off of this election where dems will have to be extremely lucky just to hold onto the majority (even with the vp tiebreaker).

Not hard to have "unity" when they've worked to purge anyone from the party who disagreed with the cult.

Practice?

Because the prosecution used some tweets from when he was in office to highlight intent, or something like that. The supreme court ruling makes them arguably "official presidential activity" and thus can't be used as evidence. So, any verdict stemming from the use of such evidence is invalid.

I'm in favor of Biden testing the scope of this newly invented supreme court ruling with a few targeted drone strikes, perhaps, but maybe I'm just a bit pissed.

If Biden drops out of the race, the candidate would be Harris. He'd resign, endorse Harris, and it'd get confirmed at the convention. The only "fresh new, younger face" would be the VP pick.

I'm not saying that's a problem, but the idea that that an open floor battle at the convention would be a good idea is nuts, and just discarding the sitting VP like that would probably shatter the democratic coalition.
