There is never a path for the speaker of the house to become vice president. Either the President and Vice President are dead and he’s president, or he’s still just the speaker.
As others have pointed out, before or after the electoral count is completed, makes a minor difference. It would be interesting to watch it play out.
It’s too fucking hot and expensive to live in Florida. Insurance rates are insane, and the job market sucks. The constant flow of retiree’s has massively inflated housing prices for decades, while shifting politics to the right, and causing massive amounts of corruption.
It has informed legislators that laws they otherwise might support, have racially biased flaws. That’s pretty much the sum total of it’s influence on anything.
It’s not a policy question it’s a media question. The right started taking over news media the day Nixon resigned. Repealing the Fairness doctrine, ending League of Women voters debates, propping up Fox news, and Sinclair media buying out all the local stations. That’s the decades long community goal they’ve been running. The left needs to understand it, and how to fight it, because MSNBC isn’t doing it.
Don’t stop a damn thing, put a billboard up for every victim.
I dunno, I can imagine a LOT of corruption.
A donut receipt is an alibi. Just saying.
Kind of curious where he gets the funding for that board.
Poland’s military is about half again larger than Ukraine prior to the war, large portions of it are very well trained, and their equipment is significantly better. If they decided to march to Moscow, nothing Russia has, short of nukes, would slow them down. And Poland would really like to discuss with them, some of the things that happened in WW2, in an up front and personal way.
Someone needs to ask him who he’s looking for. They’ve already said in interviews that they were going to target nationals from Haiti and Nicaragua first because those would be the easiest to round up and deport large numbers to due to logistics. The problem is, that’s targeting people based on their nationality, and that’s against federal law.
The mass deportation program is going to be a horrible cluster fuck. They don’t really have the legal standing to implement it, but they’re going to try anyway. Which is going to lead to even more human rights abuses. Which is going to lead to more violence. And a whole fuck ton of court cases and legal battles. Ending with mass deportation not actually happening, but probably thousands of people hurt or killed. A whole lot of lawyers getting way more rich than anyone has any right to. All so we can waste lives, money and brain cells on a moron with a bad idea.
They won’t shut it all down, just localized areas in order to ‘protect the safety of officers operating in the area’.
Probably best to stick to coordinating movements to isolate and neutralize paid provocateurs and provide secure wellness stations, while maintaining a recording of EVERYTHING done by officials. Remember to broadcast everything, not just record. That way recordings can’t be seized.
At some point they’ll start shutting down internet access to prevent recording of their actions. But that will probably coincide to when protest isn’t the most efficient of methods any more.
Right wingers only see problems when it happens to them personally. So the only way to get rid of Trump is to give him enough rope to hang himself. This is just a tiny string in that rope. I’m hoping he gathers up enough to end up like Mussolini.
If not for nukes, Poland probably would have rolled Russia by themselves. The rest of NATO could just be emotional support.
While I fully support these protests, they need to be planning for the responding violence from authorities. It’s coming the day Trump takes office.
Google has that list, and it’s for sale. Regardless if you tell them, they know.
Add him to the next case as knowing accomplice with criminal conspiracy to obstruct justice. He’s publicly calling for a criminal act on an individual.
The sad thing is that there are a thousand ways to attack prices, or even just give sound bites that the public can run with. But almost all of them would upset neoliberal billionaires, so they can never be spoken.
You know you’ve heard people say inflation hasn’t stopped because prices are still high. Like they’re going to magically get better prices when inflation stops.
Yeah it’s stupid, welcome to America.
People need to stop asking if they’re going to confirm him and start asking senators why they’re voting for a pedophile. Where is the line too far? At what point does appeasing Trump become a threat to the nation?
