  • The 1st is a stretch. To goes so far beyond the meaning and precedent that you might as well annul the whole constitution at that point.

    The 2nd doesn't work, because you must be eligible for president to run as vice president.

    As for the speaker, maybe.

  • The intelligence of the previous administration has been proven repeatedly.

    Their strategic stance with China, the response to COVID-19, and the excellent intelligence on the Russian buildup and plan for invasion are all examples of the intelligence quality and rational decision making of the current administration.

    Yes they're a bunch of neoliberal bastards. No they do not have our best interests at heart. But they're rational intelligent people.

  • I remember reading about that too, but it seems kind of contrived for two reasons.

    First of all, we all know it's very easy to lie with statistics. Even if the statistics did seem damning (which is debatable when I read it), that could be from manipulation.

    Second, the scheme described would fall apart completely with even a SINGLE recount in ONE swing state. Even just a county wide recount would make the whole house of cards fall apart.

    The fact that the current administration has done nothing about this, despite access to some of the best data, analysts, and intelligence in the world, seems to imply that it is most likely not true.

    Edit: also the explanation for the hack is that a number of machines were captured and reverse engineered, then replaced only after a wide hack was figured out. If the machine and software are built remotely intelligently, that shouldn't matter at all. You're telling me that a state of the art voting machine, built for maximum security and audit power, isn't built with that in mind? It's possible but very unlikely.
