In an effort to bypass Ohio ballot issues, the DNC is taking a creative approach at insuring Houseplant Biden and Kamala Harris are on the Democrat ticket this election season.
The move comes as Ohio Senate lawmakers convened for a special session called by Republican Gov. Mike DeWine yesterday to address Biden’s ability to appear on their general election ballot. Republicans, who hold supermajorities in the state House and Senate, have been opposed to passing a bill that would relax the deadline for Biden without a vote on unrelated campaign finance legislation that Democrats opposed, according to Fox News.
While the DNC will not certify Biden until its convention, which is scheduled for Aug. 19 – 75 days before the election, Ohio requires its parties to certify presidential candidates 90 days before the election. This is why the DNC will nominate the disastrous duo ahead of their convention in Chicago by a virtual session.

…Democrats will land this plane on our own”.-DNC Chair Jaime Harrison
Do we trust them to land this plane? Any plane for that matter? It’s all good, though. The Democrats will eliminate any opposition to this nomination by a virtual roll call. They are also, (though they won’t say this directly), hoping to minimize potential protest activity as well at the convention.
Still, the Dems will blame the Ohio Republicans for this-for “taking away their rights to a Democracy”. It’s all a conspiracy. Ohio Republicans are trying to thwart the greatness of another craptastic four years of Biden and Harris at every turn. Let’s force this train wreck on the American people for another four years:
Those horrible Republicans, though are the ones “playing politics with our Democracy”, so they say…
…But Democrats will not trade Ohioans’ ability to hold their government accountable for presidential ballot access. Just like when they attempted to take away our rights and freedoms last year, Ohio Republicans have shown their blatant disregard for the rights of voters, and we won’t let them get away with another effort to hold our democracy hostage.”-Liz Walters, Ohio Democratic Party Chair
Wait a sec, Liz. This law went into effect in 2009. Who planned the DNC Convention in Chicago after the required deadline? And,Holding our democracy hostage? Taking away our rights and freedoms? I assure you, that has been the job of the Democrats. Your party did that oh-so-well back in 2020.
And, the issue is not about keeping Biden off the ballot because, obviously, the old house plant will still get on there come hook or crook. If our collective memory serves us correctly, though, which states (and which party members in these states) tried to keep Trump off-ballot?
The simple fact of the matter is the DNC knew about Ohio’s deadline. Nothing has changed here. For years, this has remained the standard. This is not something the state of Ohio just pulled out of the proverbial pocket to put the screws to the Democrats. The Democrats’ blame shifting the Ohio Republican Party in this case is mere projection and part strategy. Create a sob story about how terrible the Republicans are. Oh! How Ohio is “trying to keep Biden off the ballot”. Oh! How this could wreck our democracy! In the meantime, propose and eventually hold, a virtual session to nominate the “best” (snort) they have to offer: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. The cream of their crop. Do this before the DNC Convention. In the process, eliminate any opposition. Keep Biden out of the crosshairs of this opposition and, hopefully, in the basement, until election night (they don’t have COVID to fall back on anymore so they need to be a bit more creative in this plan).
Stay tuned for more antics from the DNC leading up to Election Day. In the meantime, they will plan to land this plane of theirs all on their own and nominate the President who received “the most votes in history” virtually. Let’s hope the speed brakes are working and Dr. Jill is ready to roll ol’ Joe down the air stairs after he’s rambled incoherently to a fawning press corps over the Atlantic.
I know but this guy has no flying experience at all. He’s a menace to himself and everything else in the air… yes, birds too.”-Airplane
The DNC? Well, they’re a menace to everybody.

Dietrich says: I called this awhile back, predicting Grandpas Badfingers would skip the convention. He will send Kamalalala in his place. If the Dems hold a virtual nomination that will make it even easier for Xiden to hide from his greatest enemy, the public microphone. But then whatever work salad Harris throws up onstage will certainly be entertaining.
GWB says: Dr. Jill is ready to roll ol’ Joe down the air stairs
When this whole thing goes toes up, I guarantee you, Jill will be pushing Slow Joe down the stairs.
Always remember and never forget*: Some people are like slinkies; they’re not much good for anything, but you can’t help but smile when you push them down the stairs.

If the man had more than two brain cells firing, he would quash this idea. They pull this, and the only way to get rid of him will be an “unfortunate accident.”
Or an assassination by a “right wing extremist.” But I don’t know whether they have a sniper from the FBI/CIA/ATF/etc. planted – and, if they do, if their operative is stupid enough to not realize that they’ll get the “Oswald Treatment” after they’ve carried out their orders.
(No, I don’t believe in the JFK theory. But this bunch would be quite capable of carrying out the scenario of those conspiracy nutcases.)
rbj1 says: Even the Libertarians, who just nominated a loon, have their act together enough to comply with 50 state laws. Ohio should tell the Democrats to pound sand.
Scott says: Rino Gov. Mike DeWine…. FIFY
He wanted to help the dims fix their F’up… they made their bed, let them lie in it….
