He’s going to be sworn in on the 20th. And in 2008, Biden didn’t resign his seat until a few days before the inauguration. That’s how it works because it’s the Vice President.
You’re the one not being realistic. You’re in denial. But it’s time to accept reality.
I definitely see the issue with it. But either way, he simply wanted to fuck Biden over as much as possible, which I think most of us can agree with. It wasn’t an issue for me because I never actually believed he would be sworn in after the votes were counted (them being legitimate or not is not what’s up for debate here, because i knew it would never actually have a shot in court or whatever). It was over on Election Day. It’s truly that simple and I wish more people understood that. Maybe it was irresponsible of him to do what he did, I really don’t know. As much as I love the guy, it’s sucks admitting defeat. It’s high time for us to be the better men, unlike the Dems in 2016.
He wasn’t bullshitting us, but he knew the moment he lost the election that he wouldn’t be sworn into a second term. That’s why he pardoned people in the background.
All he’s been doing is trying to delegitimize Biden because of what those assholes did to him in 2016 and for 4 years straight. What comes around goes around kind of thing. I highly doubt he thought it would’ve led to people literally storming the Capital Building.
But it’s that simple. Anyone who though the election was going to be overturned was living in fantasy land.
Dude. He has literally no power to unilaterally send the votes back for decertification. He has literally no power to stop counting the votes. There’s nothing he could’ve done except allow people to object to the votes, which is exactly what he did. Where did this idea come from that Pence has the power to do all that? Because he doesn’t.
He was recently remonetized, actually.
