WHY the media is focused on Biden's Debate Performance

There we are, that's why the media is centering so much on the Biden 1st debate performance to the exclusion of so much else:

With calls to replace Biden growing within the Democratic Party, and leading members openly discussing the prospect, the fact that the Heritage Foundation, arguably the GOP’s ideological engine, has already been preparing to thwart any such plans is worrying. According to the memo, the key states of Wisconsin, Nevada, and Georgia are where legal action to keep Biden on the ballot could pay off.

Something smells very off about this timing.

The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project began researching the laws for replacing a president in several battleground states about four months ago, putting together a report in April and releasing it before Thursday’s debate disaster, according to NOTUS.

4 months before the debate. And the head of the Oversight Project is the same guy who started Project 2025. Issuing a memo on the report 6 days before the debate.

From the memo:

Three of the expected six most contested states have some potential for pre-election litigation aimed at exasperating, with legitimate concerns for election integrity, the withdrawal process for a presidential candidate.

[...]

Important caveats include the timeline and triggering events. For example, some states allow withdrawal before the 74th day before an election,[12]and failure to adhere to these timelines can result in the candidate’s name remaining on the ballot[13](which provides its own corollary of post-election litigation).

[...]

There is also the possibility that states will be complicit in an improper withdrawal or substitution.

[...]

Much will come down to when Biden withdraws, what procedures he does or does not follow, and the operating state law timelines and triggering events. However, at least 31 states defer to state or national party rules and committees for nominating in the event of withdrawal.[16] These states circumvent the substitution process highlighted above. There may be some avenues for challenges to these laws on improper delegation grounds, however, these may be marginally beneficial. There is also the issue of applicability. In some of these states there are no statutes that deal with presidential candidate withdrawal or vacancy in nominations, or the laws only operate at the primary election. Even more, there is little caselaw determining when these statutes apply. Some of the extant cases do address applying these withdrawal statutes to different fact patterns than those contemplated by the statutory text, such as withdrawal of independent presidential candidates[17]or congressional candidates.[18] Yet, this confusion may be its own source of litigation.

In other words: get Biden off the ballot, and there is legal precedent in some places to prevent his replacement, and locking Biden on it. Meaning the vote is effectively nullified, it legally won't count even if it is marked correctly. And in many more states the law is unclear meaning it can be pushed out of the election system, where Republican voters are outnumbered by non-Republican voters, and into the court system that has been staffed, bought, and paid for by MAGA supporters such as, for example: Federalist society member U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon (appointed by Trump in), Associate Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas (who has accepted at least 4 million in bribes that we know of), and (real estate magnate and Republican megadonor) Harlan Crow (Who has been bribing Justice Thomas for years).

According to Rolling stone:

A senior source involved with Donald Trump’s 2024 effort to win the presidency and another person working with the Heritage-based Project 2025 (the conservative policy agenda project) tell Rolling Stone that the point of these legal attack plans and potential blitz of challenges isn’t necessarily to win.  A key point, the sources say, would be to weigh down the Democratic nominee, the national party, and their legal and political allies in as many unique court battles and sideshows as possible — so that the Democratic Party would have to waste resources and time on those matters when liberals would want to be laser-focused on, say, the battleground states that will likely decide whether Trump returns to power. Team Biden — or Team whoever — is going to be getting hit on all sides between now and Election Day,” the first source says. “Every legal and political weapon is on the table.” Still, the sources add, they do generally feel more confident in their legal theories than in the past, since Trump stacked the judiciary with right-wing jurists. Rolling Stone spoke Wednesday night with Mike Howell, a former Trump Homeland Security Department official who is now executive director at the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project, which is spearheading the effort to prevent Democrats from replacing Biden. “President Biden today said he is the nominee, and I think the media has missed the importance of such a statement … If he, in those statements, is legally arguing that he is the nominee, I think that should be read as him circumventing the formal convention process,” he argued. “And Biden’s doing so has tremendous legal implications and statutory impact for states that specifically point to the DNC for who shows up on the ballot as the party’s nominee.”

So, damned either way. Ideally, it sounds like, there will be a failed attempt to replace Biden so it can be tried in the court both ways. And in both the literal courts and the court of public opinion, which is why Trump is having a go at George Clooney.

I swear, at this point, I'm half waiting for the furry hackers that hit Howell to reveal he blackmailed someone on Biden's staff to spike his cold medicine. I know that isn't what happened. It's simply being ready. Still: damned convenient.

I love how the big bad is one of the most confused people in this whole ordeal is the big bad.

Major villains who have complete control over everything and mastermind literally the whole plot are out, and major villains who are absolutely flabbergasted by the heroes and just out of the depths in how fucked everything is going for them are in.

i'm sorry but the very idea of mack being worried about will before prospects camp, doubting if they'll go along, not after how long they've been standing on the opposite sides of the ice, unsure if he can look past years of playing against each other, knowing how he is, hard to like, not easy to forgive and forget vs will, chipper as ever, who has manifested everything in some hotel room in europe while he was watching the sharks get the first pick in the lottery, scheming his ass off, ready to leave bc (and leno and gabe) behind the second he could be certain that it's macklin who he will be on a team with is so.....

first day of intro to business class today! i did my readings (lots of capitalist bootlicking which i am approaching with an anthropological mindset), made a discussion post, did my homework for the week, and took the chapter quiz (very poorly worded questions which actually directly caused me to get one wrong)

so far so good.
