Biden is not going to step aside.

Newsom is pretty hardcore left. I say they lose the middle with him.

And Harris is an idiot. I say they lose the intelligent voters with her.

Newscum is toast. No way he gets on a National Ticket, he's toxic.

Heather McDonald: The Coming Crime Catastrophe In California​

​

The coming crime catastrophe?!, I hear you saying.

But it's about to get worse. California passed a law giving murderers and gang-members -- all criminals, really, but let's focus on the worst offenders -- the right to have their previous sentences voided if they can prove that anyone of their racial group had been discriminated against by the courts in the past.

Not that their own trials were tainted by bias -- just that someone in the past had experienced bias.

So California is about to begin releasing thousands and thousands of hardcore killers back into the streets.

California is about to demonstrate what a world constructed from the tenets of critical race studies looks like. The sentencing reversal in California v. Windomis the result of a recent law that will likely bring the state's criminal-justice system to its knees. The Racial Justice Act, passed in 2020 without meaningful public review, turns long-standing academic tropes about implicit bias and white privilege into potent legal tools. And the floodgates are about to open. Starting this year, the RJA allows anyone serving time in a California prison or jail for a felony to challenge his conviction and sentencing retroactively on the ground of systemic racial bias.

The Racial Justice Act operationalizes the proposition that every aspect of the criminal-justice system is biased against blacks. But according to the act's legislative authors, it's too hard to prove such bias in the case of individual arrests and prosecutions. Therefore, the act does away with the concept of individual fault and individual proof. From now on, statistics about past convictions are sufficient to invalidate a present trial or sentence.

The RJA explicitly repudiates a key Supreme Court precedent that had governed bias challenges in criminal trials. The plaintiff in McCleskey v. Kemp (1987), Warren McCleskey, a black man, was facing the death penalty for murdering a white police officer in Fulton County, Georgia. McCleskey presented a study purportedly showing that killers of all races in Georgia were more likely to be sentenced to death if their victim was white. Blacks who killed whites were at greatest risk of capital punishment. That alleged historical disparity in sentencing invalidated his own death sentence, argued McCleskey. The Court, in a 5 - 4 decision, disagreed.

Defendants must show that criminal-justice decision-makers were purposefully biased against them, in order to throw out a conviction or a sentence under the Equal Protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, the Court ruled. Statistics purporting to show a historical pattern of bias are not enough to support the requisite showing of individual discriminatory purpose against a particular defendant.
Thanks to the RJA, McCleskey no longer governs bias challenges in California. From now on in California, statistics purporting to show a pattern of bias in the past are enough to invalidate a current arrest, criminal charge, or judicial sentence.

And what statistics they are! The Antioch Racial Justice Act case, California v. Windom, exemplifies the analyses that pass muster under the act. Through discovery requests to the district attorney's office, defense counsel assembled a database of 89 defendants who had been charged with gang murder in Contra Costa County from 2015 to 2022. Forty-eight of those defendants were black. There were 41 defendants in the comparison pool, made up of any nonblack race the defendants could get their hands on, since white gang-murder defendants in Contra Costa County were virtually nonexistent. Sixty-two percent of the black gang murderers (30) got a sentence of life without parole because of the egregiousness of their killings. It was that so-called LWOP sentence that the four defendants in Windom were challenging. A little over 53 percent of the nonblack gang murderers (24) got a sentence of life without parole. The defense expert, University of California--Irvine criminologist Richard McCleary, used fancy statistical footwork to massage those small differences in an already-small sample size into larger significance. That was the least of the analysis's problems, however. The real deficiency was that McCleary discarded the rule of comparing like with like. He made no effort to determine the criminal histories of the defendants in the various comparison pools to see if those defendants really were similarly situated. He made no effort to determine how heinous were the murders committed by members of the various comparison pools.

But charging and sentencing always take a defendant's particular history and the details of his crime into account. Two defendants can both be charged under an aggravated assault statute, but if one defendant has 11 prior convictions for attempted murder, robbery, and carjacking, say, while the second defendant has never been arrested before, a prosecutor will seek different sentences in their two cases.

...
After the judge had ruled in California v. Windom, a Contra Costa prosecutor commissioned his own study of the data. It turned out that the black gang members in the life-without-parole pool had committed more heinous murders than the nonblack gang members, as measured by the special circumstances in their cases. Once that difference was considered, there was no racial difference in the likelihood that a defendant would get life without parole. The district attorney�s office chose not to publicize the study and has not made it publicly available.

Yup…..Newsom is a nutcase.

I‘m scared that Obama is going to try to squeeze Michelle in at the last minute, promising her that she’d just have to show up for State Dinners and do an occasional press conference, and he would run the show. It’s his workaround to continue getting more than two terms.

The question is: are there enough crazy leftists who would vote for a totally unqualified person just because she fits the Left’s “favored position”: a female black?

But there aren't millions and millions of fake mailin ballots available this time to forge. Those are the "voters" you are talking about..

He won’t resign as President.

But he may very well be told by his handlers that he has decided to drop out of the Presidential election race.

This will allow the super delegates at the DN convention to name whoever they imagine might have the best chance of defeating Trump. They will also name the VP choice.

The rest of the “delegates” will get the memo to back whoever their party leaders thereby decree.

(All against the background of probable disturbances ala 1968.)

I have his replacement right here!

Okay so Joe ain't the sharp Cheddar he used to be. What else is new with someone who's nearly an octogenarian? Having said that let's not fool ourselves into thinking that he's completely done in. He only needs to be as good as a Muppet to satisfy the needs of the elected office at this point. He may not be doing cartwheels and calculus problems but he's still a pretty good Muppet.

There's no such thing as an election that's in the bag and this coming 2024 election certainly is not. Whatever you believe about the 2020 fiasco The vote totals between the two candidates were massive. It's a pretty fair bet that 90% of those voters are still there. It's also a pretty fair bet that there has not been a large migration from one side to the other. The only thing I can foresee that would create that migration is putting Biden aside for a last minute choice. I don't think it's going to happen because it would probably be suicide.

I would prefer to have a mentally sharp President in the Oval Office rather than the “Muppet” as you describe Joe Biden. Kamala Harris is not much better.

Kamala will announce that she is seeking to run for Governor of California.

The next election is in 2.5 years.

Democrats will never step aside as long as they have the media as the propaganda arm. It's in the DNA of the democrat party. Woodrow Wilson had a massive stroke and democrat operatives were able to conceal it from Americans at the time. FDR was a virtual corpse when democrats ran him for a 4th term. The media promised America he was healthy while they knew he would never live to complete his term. FDR was inaugurated in January and dead by April and Harry Truman was president without a freaking clue. FDR's health records disappeared from a locked safe and the media wasn't curious.

Yeah, but if Newsom steps in for BIden, California will need a Governor, and Kamala is perfect for Kalifornia.

 

[BackAgain]

The issue is if they select a hardcore lefty, they lose the middle.

If they select a white guy like Newsom, they lose the radicals.

They cannot fail to chose someone contenting the mindset of the average voter. It would be antithetical to who and what they are.

They are obviously not above a head fake. Pretend to be more “centrist” while actually installing another far left wing tool.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Yeah, but if Newsom steps in for BIden, California will need a Governor, and Kamala is perfect for Kalifornia.

I'm sure the Lt Gov wouldn't just step aside for the Ditz.

Honestly; it all goes back to where nobody wanted an outsider in there as President. They protected FDR, they protected Wilson, and like it or not, they protected Reagan too!

Americans need not be so negative though, if they know reality! Wilson, you have to research..........but let us look at the other 2!

FDR had already won the war. Germany was collapsing, and while without the atomic bomb it would have cost many more American lives, them protecting his aura was paramount; therefore, them hiding the truth, even after his death.

With Ronald Reagan, his policies had defeated a nuclear power without firing a shot. Through all of the cold war, nobody would have ever predicted that outcome. These people had students hiding under their desks under the false believe they could survive a nuclear attack. THEY LIED, period, end of story.

And yet, just like FDR, Reagan won! Doesn't make a difference how, or why; he did.

Our media decided to canonize them, and maybe rightfully so. But the facts are----------->Republicans knew that Reagen was losing it sometime during his 2nd term; probably somewhere in the middle. And the media knew that FDR was in terrible shape as he ran for his 4th term, and had already baked into his campaign that he would not survive his re-election.

Now we have the media pushing Biden. Not being any sort of person in the medical field, what do YOU think the odds are that we will end up with Khamala before Joe's second term ends; and what are the ramifications of that, above and beyond just re-electing Joe?!?!?!

I know, it is a dim place I am going to..........but beyond Trump V Biden, this is also Trump V Khamala as that could very well be in the cards sometime during a Biden 2nd term. Your choice!

 

[my2¢]

My guess is that if enough House and Senate Democrats feel that Biden will be a hinderance to their own campaigns, Biden will voluntarily drop out of the race. I've read that April's donations to the DNC were "down sharply" from March. If that trend continues through July, then he'll decline the nomination shortly before the convention in August and serve out his term.

Blah, after 500 million votes are counted FJB will be declared the winner in a Roman Triumph.

Biden is not going to step aside​

Obviously, the guy has COVETED the presidency for decades. A habitual liar with a serious inferiority complex hence is constant over the top self embellishments the guy is . Obama's people warned us about him. The dipshit screws up most everything he touches and has a talent for making the wrong decisions.

100% FACT! Ever since Democrats lost their 40 year chokehold on congress they have flailed in all directions scheming and cheating.

It wasn't a fiasco. It was a very high turnout election. That's all it was.

Biden will be the Democratic nominee on the ballot in November. You guys need to get a better hobby than this silly speculation. Many of the same morons coming up with these nutty scenarios thought Biden wouldn't take office after winning in November 2020.

Yeah, the bigger the tent the harder it is to keep the edges inside.

It's not the tent, it's that their hard base is truly batshit insane.

It's like the Republicans letting the KKK lite idiots into the tent.
