Harris says ‘of course’ her team is prepared if Trump declares victory before votes are counted
Harris says ‘of course’ her team is prepared if Trump declares victory before votes are counted
In an interview with NBC News’ Hallie Jackson, the vice president said her campaign has the "resources and the expertise" to handle a challenge from Trump.
It’s reassuring to hear they know Trump is going to go all in on fuckery at the end, and actually have a plan to stop another insurrection
Hopefully more than just a concept of a plan 😉
Maybe even a cognitive
Yeah I'll believe it when I see it
That's not what I heard.
"We've got two weeks to go, and I'm very much grounded in the present. We will deal with election night and the days after as they come, and we have the resources and the expertise and the focus on that as well"She's saying they have a bunch of capable people who'll figure it out on the fly.
That's called improvising. Improvising is exactly the opposite of a plan. It's what you do when you have no plan.It's also called being ready for anything. It's what you do when you aren't entirely sure what the idiot on the other side is going to do.
The world's best swordsman isn't afraid of the second best swordsman. He's afraid of the world's worst swordsman, cause he can never be sure what the idiot will do.
Same principle.
If you look at Harris' history of how she runs her staff, that's just not what she does. She tends to over prepare to the point of exhaustion. This is sometimes portrayed in the press as "Harris is hard on her staff", but then you look at the details and it's more that she expects a lot out of them.
Of course she doesn't go into details in an interview. It would both bore people watching, and there's no reason to give the plan away at this point.
Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face - Mike Tyson (I think that's how he said it)
She has a Glock.
She's going to lend it to J'Biden?
It's ya boi! J'Biden!
I hope he’s been practicing for the big moment.
::Takes Glock::
💥 BLAM! 💥 BLAM! 💥 BLAM! …
Biden: “Pardon…”
::puts on shades, lights a cigar, smiles::
Biden: “Me.”
Drives off into the sunset.
I hope they put in extra security measures. A lot of foreign nations have stakes here, a lot of mentally ill people are too agitated for their own good and Trump's gonna die before accepting he's lost to a woman.
That last bit seems optimal for the country's recovery and de-MAGAfication.
I think the MAGA balloon would burst one way or another as they can only pump it bigger and bigger, and the difference in this elections is if it bursts somewhere by itself or right in the White house.
I hope she has people in her campaign that relentlessly argue internally that they're not prepared enough.
She's a former prosecutor. If MAGA pulls shit I'm sure she will pull out the fan.
So happy she is the candidate. Biden would actively prevent his team from planning for this scenario claiming no need due to tradition and decorum
I'm glad she's the candidate too, but you're just making up a scenario in your head based on no evidence.
I 100% expect both camps will have extremely optimistic sounding rhetoric all the way through election day.
Both will claim victory.
Due to some bizarre procedures in at least one swing state we are unlikely to know an actual winner until Saturday (which is kinda crazy since the election is on Tuesday) and if things are even somewhat close there will be lawsuits and recounts.
This could actually end up being a long wait to know the outcome.
It's one thing to want unchecked power. It's another to want to holocaust millions of people.
Historically speaking, the former always seems to be followed by the latter for some reason.
You obviously haven't fought anyone with a sword. And before you ask, yes I have.
Are you the Dread Pirate Roberts?
This is the second comment I've seen in this thread about swordplay, and now I'm confused. Where do swords enter into it?
Anyway, everybody's got a plan to fight a monkey until it's actually time to fight a monkey.
I think @Worstdriver@lemmy.world is having difficulty with the difference between replying to a comment and replying to a thread. Presumably they're better with a sword than a mouse 😂
They've undoubtedly been gaming this out since she declared, but it's still reassuring to have her say so.
I'm not so confident.
They seem to have a penchant for just expecting that everyone will pay by the rules, and just giving up when they do not.
I agree, fine sandy bottom.
Nah, just somebody who was lucky enough to soar with some actual sword masters over the years. I'm no Jill Bearup, but I know which end goes into the other guy.
Arya? It's the pointy end right?
Let'm have it!
Also I really hope to win the president choosing lottery! I only need to have chosen exactly what the unelected electoral college chooses! Yey democracy!
