Official Joe *****-****** Harris Presidency Thread

[Vlad_]

Yawn, oh you mean this?

Yawn. Yeah sure. That’s the pathetic spin attempt? Withhold $1 billion in military aid to fire a prosecutor who’s simply not tough enough on corruption? And not to protect his junkie son working for a corrupt company doing who knows what while getting extremely well paid? Haha.

Sure sure. But ***** is the bad guy. Ukraine is such a good and important ally, so much that the clown duo O***** Bama simply let Russia come in and take Crimea. So tough.

What happened to the eighties wanting their foreign policy back? Why did Russia suddenly become such an enemy when ***** took office? And Ukraine became such an important ally? Just not during their actual 2008-2016 timeline, right?

Just to bring you up to speed (yawn) the election is over and this debunked fairytale is actually irrelevant. This manufactured scandal is what got dumb King ***** impeached and it didn’t do him the slightest bit of good because he lost the election, so I don’t see what your point is by hanging on to his delusional coattails? The whole “***** Crime Family” smear didn’t work, and I suspect it’s probably because ***** only has credibility with his base, which is more than willing to bathe in his urine.

But hey, if you can’t afford a teddy bear and you need something to keep you safe at night, feel free to use this.

Sure sure. But ***** is the bad guy. Ukraine is such a good and important ally, so much that the clown duo O***** Bama simply let Russia come in and take Crimea. So tough.

Again, I think you might be time-displaced because your overlord just took a steel-toe to the nuts. You haven’t heard? He’s hold-up in the White House cosplaying a desperate dictator on his last night in power. All we’ve really been hearing from him is fact-free tweet after fact-free tweet about imaginary widespread voter fraud.

Also, I wouldn’t characterize ***** as “bad.” I think he’s more rotten to the core and utterly lacking in any sort of moral compass. Which is essentially catnip for the Right.

What happened to the eighties wanting their foreign policy back? Why did Russia suddenly become such an enemy when ***** took office? And Ukraine became such an important ally? Just not during their actual 2008-2016 timeline, right?

Whew, you’re making me really sleepy *****-bot. It’s not so much that Russia became an enemy and more that ***** became *****’s concubine. ***** couldn’t have wished for a better puppet than ***** and an easier target. That's what the KGB did really well, they target their dupes by casing their weaknesses and ultimately exploiting them. All a dictator has to do is write ***** a love note and the dude's panties peel off like the skin of an overripe banana.

Tax filings reveal ***** cancer charity spent millions on salaries, zero on research

The New York Post:

A cancer charity started by Joe ***** gave out no money to research, and spent most of its contributions on staff salaries, federal filings show.

The ***** Cancer Initiative was founded in 2017 by the former vice president and his wife, Jill *****, to “develop and drive implementation of solutions to accelerate progress in cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, research and care and to reduce disparities in cancer outcomes,” according to its IRS mission statement. But it gave out no grants in its first two years, and spent millions on the salaries of former Washington, DC, aides it hired.

The charity took in $4,809,619 in contributions in fiscal years 2017 and 2018, and spent $3,070,301 on payroll in those two years. The group’s president, Gregory Simon, raked in $429,850 in fiscal 2018 (July 1, 2018, to June 30, 2019), according to the charity’s most recent federal tax filings.

Simon, a former Pfizer executive and longtime health care lobbyist who headed up the White House’s cancer task force in President Barack *****’s administration, saw his salary nearly double from the $224,539 he made in fiscal 2017, tax filings show.

Danielle Carnival, former chief of staff for *****’s cancer initiative, the Cancer Moonshot Task Force, took home $258,207 in 2018.

The charity spent $56,738 on conferences and $59,356 on travel that year. The following year, the travel expenditure swelled to $97,149, and the nonprofit spent $742,953 on conferences, tax filings show.

Where's sleepy joey been anyway? He was all out in front of people and now poof he's gone.

Hiding out in Delaware. They are preserving his corpse for limited press conferences.

If he wins I can't for ************* to go after him like they did *****. This will be fun.

[GhostofDempsey]

**********s need to start fighting dirty like Dems. They can't be taking the high road all the time and letting this slide. They need to go after Joe and ****** same way Dems went after *****. Notice how ***** immediately called for "unity" after the election? He doesn't want to be treated the way ***** was treated.

With a majority senate and SCOTUS in their favor, they need to shut him down every change they get. They also need to stay on top of the Hunter ***** laptop. I'm sure there is enough on there to lead Joe out of the WH in handcuffs if they really press the issue.

The 'laptop from hell' didnt deliver like you thought it would huh?

[OldTerry]

Huh? I'm talking facts, I'm not pulling chit out of my arse.

***** said, on the first day we will remove *****'s tax cuts. The avg family saw a 2k tax cut. Then there's the 1k per child ***** added to his tax plan. Last I checked that means you pay more.

Fracking, tons of vids of ***** saying he will ban fracking. So what do you think this does for energy prices?

*****s green deal. Besides the cost. What do you think will happen when a company is forced to retrofit the building? You think the company will just eat the cost? Or will they pass it on down to you? As a former business owner as the epa would make me pay a service to pick up my thinner and paint I just passed the cost on down to the customer. As shop owners we all spoke in the area and agreed we would all raise the price the same.

Raising taxes on those that make 400k or more. Again, these are Business owners. So you think in a state like CA that will have a tax rate of 62% do you think they will eat the cost?

So please explain how I'm lying.

The bolded part of your comment is very interesting as it leads to the question of who pays for the forced retro-fitting of our homes?

It’s Official: ‘There is NO President Elect at this time’: General Services Administration
********** House Oversight Committee:

GSA Administrator Must Adhere to Constitution, Past Precedent in Determining President-Elect

According to Congressional intent and past precedent set by President Clinton, as of today, there is no apparent President-Elect.

Subcommittee on Government Operations Ranking Member Jody Hice (R-Ga.) today wrote Emily Murphy, Administrator of the General Services Administration (GSA), correcting ********s’ misrepresentation of the Presidential Transition Act of 1963 and calling on GSA to adhere to the Constitution when ascertaining a President-Elect.

“Contrary to complaints issued by House Oversight ********s, the General Services Administration has followed the letter of the law. State governments certify election results; not the media, and not political parties. When the election is certified, we fully anticipate the GSA to take appropriate action as necessary. Until then, our priority must be on ensuring that this race was a fair and free election with an honest count,” said Government Operations Subcommittee Ranking Member Hice.

In the letter, Hice outlines the three situations where there is not an apparent President-Elect. All three situations apply to the 2020 election. The GSA Administrator should determine the President-Elect based on the Constitution and past precedent, which both indicate there is not an apparent President-Elect. Government-funded transition assistance can only be provided after GSA has made a determination.

The letter is available here and below.

The Honorable Emily Murphy
Administrator
General Services Administration
1800 F St. N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20405

Dear Administrator Murphy:

On November 9, 2020, ********ic House Members sent you a letter that misrepresented the facts surrounding your responsibilities under the Presidential Transition Act of 1963 (Act). I write to correct the record.

Under the Act, you, as administrator of the General Services Administration (GSA), have the authority to provide government-funded transition assistance to the President-Elect and the Vice-President-Elect. However, this assistance can only occur after there are “apparent successful candidates for the office of the President and Vice President, respectively, as ascertained by the Administrator [you].”

There are enough state contests in question, such that there is not yet an apparent President or Vice-President-Elect. Precedent and legislative history present three situations where there may be an un-apparent President-Elect:

The drafters of the Act anticipated three electoral situations where there would be an un-apparent President-Elect: (1) a tie, (2) a plurality winner, or (3) the presence of extensive voter fraud or intimidation. The third being applicable to 2020 since the ***** campaign has raised questions and filed legal challenges in several states;
The drafters concluded that “if there is any doubt in the Administrator’s mind” the Administrator does not have to release transition assistance. Since states have not yet certified an electoral winner and some states are still tabulating legal ballots, there remains doubt as to the winner; and
The precedent set by the Clinton Administration in the contested 2000 election is that to ascertain an apparent President-Elect there would need to be a concession—which has not yet occurred in 2020—or no more legitimate continuing legal challenges—which has not yet occurred in 2020.
According to Congressional intent and past precedent set by President Clinton, as of today, there is no apparent President-Elect.
