Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Oh shit. I just realized something that is 1000% percent coming if she wins the election. They're going to sue to deligitimize the election when Kamala Harris as VP oversees the confirmation of the electors that she, Kamala Harris the President Elect, received becuase it "clearly biased/fraudulent/illegal" to perform her duties as VP to confirm her own election. I have zero doubt in my mind that this will happen.
Wasn't a problem for GHWB.
Since when has precedent mattered to them? Or the current SCOTUS?
Yeah they constantly go "you can't do that." And then they turn around and instantly do that thing.
Another one they do is "This person will do this, this and this in this scenario." And that person doesn't do it but it turns out the one accusing them of it did it previously or is planning to do it.
Republicans shouldn't ever be taken seriously anymore.
It's always projection. A GOP accusation is almost admission at this point
Oh, they should definitely be taken seriously. They just shouldn’t be taken at their word.
They can try, but an update to the law has since been passed to make totally clear the vice presidential role is purely ceremonial and that they have no power to challenge or alter the proceedings in any way.

I expect like you say they'll still make a big public stink and file some frivolous suits about it though like it's a real issue when it's not to rile people up though. And totally ignoring the other times this has happened before, like Reagan to George HW Bush.
Isn't there precedent for that though?
Then again they don't seem to care
There is and they don't
There is and we don't care too. They can f*** off with that bs and so can SCOTUS
