This brings up an interesting scenario. What if sleepy Joe has to remove himself over his chyyna dealings? Does kamlalala move into the lead position or does the DNC pick another? Has this ever happened?

From what I can gather, the DNC would have to formally nominate a new Presidential candidate. There does not appear to be any specific Federal law which deals with whether or not they could simply nominate Harris, who was not nominated as a Presidential candidate by the voters during the various state primaries, so I imagine that question would go immediately to the Supreme Court as a case of first impression.

A scientific study which looks at how we perceive information (at a physical, neurological level) different based upon our pre-conceived political affiliations: https://ycleong.github.io/files/pape...ngPNAS2020.pdf
Basically, the paper goes some way towards explaining why people at the far-left and far-right are unlikely to be able to engage in constructive political discourse, because they perceive the nature of politically-charged issues differently.
My first thought upon reading the abstract was "Well, that pretty much confirms what I already knew," followed immediately by "Crap! Confirmation bias is one of the exact phenomenons which the study analyzed."

I assume you are talking about a right before the election time frame. I was actually wondering if they are just waiting for Joe to win, and then they will throw him under the bus and then the camel will step in.

The reason why the DNC would not toss Biden under the bus prior to the election is this:
1: The question of whether or not they can immediately move Harris to the prime slot would probably go to the Supreme Court.
2: It is possible that the Supreme Court might not rule on the matter prior to the election. Or, if they did, they might find that a new round of Primary elections must be held to select a Democratic presidential candidate. In that event, it's unlikely that all 50 states would be able to complete this task prior to the General election.
3: The date of the General election is fixed by Congressional mandate, and cannot be changed without a Congressional act. This would be unlikely to occur quickly, if it all, given the present state of Congress.
4: Thus, it is possible that the Democratic party might go into the November election without a Presidential candidate on some or all of the state ballots. In such a scenario, Trump would have a high probability of winning the election.
It simply won't happen. Even if indisputable evidence were produced tomorrow which shows Joe Biden, on video, giving nuclear secrets to North Korea in exchange for child sex-slaves, and then further shows Biden physically raping said children, none of that would actually disqualify him from participating in the election. The DNC's best bet would be to let the election go on, hoping that the #VoteBlue crowd will get him elected (because raping children pales in comparison to being Orange Man), and then immediately pressure the House to impeach him, knowing that the Senate will have no choice but to remove him from office. That way, Pelosi slides right in as VP, and they have their dream team in the White House.

If what I read is accurate, the states attorney punted it back to the FBI, so expect another stall.

There are so many holes on every side of this story that I would put just about 100% trust in anything that is coming out about it. The fact that Bannon and Giuliani were the first with the info, should make you extremely skeptical. No one with real dirt and any sense of how the politics game is played would not go to those 2 with the dirt first. Secondly THERE ARE NO BLIND ******* COMPUTER REPAIR MEN. Like it just does not exist, its not a job you can do blind. I have been in that industry. If you are blind there is absolutely zero things you can do in computer repair to make money.
Seriously
"According to the story, the computer was dropped off at a repair shop in April 2019—as in over a year and a half ago. The computer was left apparently without signing any form or even providing a name. In fact, the shop owner declared that because he is legally blind, he could not identify the person who brought in the supposedly water-damaged computer."

NO COMPUTER REPAIR SHOP OPERATES LIKE THAT. I can drive 5 miles down the street to computer repair shop that is a money laundering operation. They require name and number.

I believe it has been confirmed that Hunter lawyer's have contacted the original repair man for the laptop back now. So like I say NONE of it makes any sense. The whole thing is a disinformation campaign from all sides. It should not have been killed initially by Twitter and FB. That caused a large streisand effect. Now everyone is piling on with more cray cray,

Keep it class, libs.
"caught up in the moment"...
I, too, get caught up in the moment and set private businesses on fire.
I, too, get caught up in the moment and blind federal agents by shining lasers in their eyes.
I, too, get caught up in the moment and chant anti-American and violent rhetoric.
I, too, get caught up in the moment and loot a Footlocker near me.
I, too, get caught up in the moment and physically assault Trump supporters.
Oh wait, I DON'T do that because I'm not a degenerate.
I shouldn't be surprised that the mainstream media are attempting to garner sympathy for these criminals.
They deserve to get the book thrown at them.
