The "Biden Replacement Theory": A Joke That's Not Funny

If you're going to engage in any discussions about replacing Joe Biden on the ticket, you should know a few unassailable facts that the media have left out of their hysterical drumbeat "coverage" of what "Democratic insiders" are saying: Democratic "insiders" don't give the President advice through the media. They speak directly to him or to the people in his immediate circle. Anyone you see publicly calling on the President to step down is not close to him and does not have his ear. Yes, they may attend occasional briefings at the DNC or get invited to the White House holiday parties and annual Easter Egg Roll, and have their picture taken with him at fundraisers they pay good money to attend so they can get their picture taken. But they don't have real access to him and they can't be assumed to have his best interests in mind. Because the people who are actually close to him don't call him out on CNN and Twitter.

@Teri_Kanefield when you say reformative theory, is that the same as restorative justice? I know there is the idea of the school to prison pipeline.

@Teri_Kanefield I recently read someone who knew Cannon well and noted that she had more experience in the appellate system so she thinks more like an appellate judge than a trial judge. That's why she got overturned last year in the special master case.

@Teri_Kanefield one thing that some people also fell for during this is that someone mentioned that NBC fired executive "Jack Donaghy" who was a "major donor to the RNC"

@Teri_Kanefield there is a reason "blue maga" is a thing. I always thought that using the legal system as a backdoor way to keep Trump from being president would never work and may even backfire. The rage merchants just got got everyone either riled up or feel defeated.

@Teri_Kanefield if anyone wants to see a great example of democratic fragility, just look up the Weimar Republic and the mistakes they made plus the unfortunate circumstances

@Teri_Kanefield I remember when Roe was overturned the same types were saying we should all respect the law.

Rule of law for thee but not for me.

Freedom and liberty for me but not for thee.

Texas Governor Abbott signals that he may (will?) defy the Supreme Court order regarding the border.

In 1830, Andrew Jackson, as president, refused to heed a Supreme Court order regarding the removal of Native Americans from Georgia.

Jackson's refusal gave us the Trail of Tears.

Jackson remained popular.

The similarity: Both defiances are deeply racist.

The difference: In 1830 only white men could vote.

Governor Abbott signals potential defiance of Supreme Court’s border ruling

Governor Greg Abbott issued a “Statement on Texas’ Constitutional Right to Self-Defense,” following calls by numerous Republican lawmakers to resist the high court’s order, including three state representatives from Houston.
