Loading ...where are we going?
Somehow, I missed this gem last week, so I’m sharing it for anyone else who missed it:

It’s amazing that Biden somehow makes it through each successive day, but it’s inconceivable to me that he will last to the mid-term elections, let alone the full term. This makes me wonder what scenarios anyone here sees as being most likely to play out in the coming months, as to who might play the role of president during the next couple of years and how he/she will get there. Your ideas will be appreciated. TIA
Yeah, that was indeed a gem…
Wayne Root was first to see the path to the WH for Hillary a few months back. No way will they let Harris in there.
My preference however is a sweep of both houses and then they appoint Trump as speaker then impeach and convict both Biden and Harris and voila Trump is back in. Not really looking forward for more trump but that’s the best alternative.
Thanks for your input, Plunger.
I should have noted in my post that it’s so unpalatable to the entire country for either Harris or Pelosi to be put in the #1 position that neither will happen. Also, I’m aware of the Clinton and Trump speculations, but neither of them seems plausible to me either. You might be right about the Trump path, but to me the time factor seems to exclude that as the likely path; I’d bet good money on them not being able to keep Biden upright that long and as you say, no way they let Harris in there. The result is I feel like I’m missing the obvious surprise in the making.
Informational .. all the more reason to keep Biden upright unless we are talking about a quantum change….not a good sequence for those that pay attention to the constitution … Number 2 on full video display above.
Current order of succession
The current presidential order of succession was established by the Presidential Succession Act of 1947, as amended.[1] The order consists of congressional officers followed by the members of the cabinet in the order of the establishment of each department, provided that each officer must satisfy the constitutional requirements for serving as president.[2] In the table, the absence of a number in the first column indicates that the incumbent is ineligible.

Your post demonstrates the reasons (16 of them) I suspect a quantum change of regime is in store. The question is, HOW? What are the possibilities??? Maybe I’m just wrong about how long the corpse can be maintained upright and mold-free. It doesn’t seem like VR can fulfill all the requirements, as in live performances.
Regarding how a quantum change in regime could happen, one way would be for the big buy and let’s say the next five people in line to basically go missing. Although there are ways that could happen, the ideas I can conceive of are not just very ugly, they also seem far too outlandish to happen. I have yet to come up with any scenarios in this direction that seem at all plausible.
