You think they’re being vetted for anything other than “will ask ‘how high’ when Trump orders them to jump”?

Not without Supreme Court fuckery. As it stands, he’d be eligible to serve as Speaker, but he’d be skipped in the line of succession if it were applicable.

Of course, trusting the Supreme Court to actually follow the rules seems naive at best these days.

It’s possible, though I suspect it’s more a byproduct of rigidity - she’s fine at her job when everything is straightforward and/or predictable, but goes to pieces when choices aren’t binary.

That’s the hope, but clearly we see that hope and a quarter gets you 25 cents and that’s all

Definitely

I have a coworker who has been with my company as long as I’ve been in this entire career that we are both in. Between the two of us, I am the expert, because if something goes one iota off the rails, she can’t handle/process it. This is a problem because shit goes off the rails ALL THE TIME in our business. How she hasn’t figured out how to handle that in 15 years, I don’t know

Given that we have a President who won’t be trying to conduct his own coup currently… Yes

As he honestly should. Dude’s too high on his own supply.

He had it at 70/30, when the poll/pundit environment was giving Hillary 95% chances.

He gave much more realistic odds than most any pundit of that cycle.

It’s a shame that Federal law supersedes state law, huh Texas?

If anywhere near that amounts of armed idiots shows up to DC this time, I’m certain the National Guard will be waiting for them.

We saw the limits of relying on Capital Police and DC Metro Police last time. A Biden admin transitioning to a Harris admin is not going to make that mistake again, and the MD National Guard will probably be ready and waiting for the assistance call like the one that came way too late 4 years ago.

I’ll be disappointed if the Harris campaign doesn’t have that cued up for the week before Election Day
