You know if Biden stepped down in late December or even early January

It would make Kamala Harris the 47th POTUS. Which means at that very late date, it would completely spoil the merchandising efforts that the Trump camp had in high gear at the time. Team MAGA would have to reorder and redesign everything.

Petty? Yep. Funny? Oh yes.

TSF failing to show up Wednesday, or failing the daily security briefing tests that Biden and his professionals should administer in public, after said briefings.

In case she planned not to certify the vote.

Do you all remember Mike Pence?

I sure as hell hate this "nice guy" game. At this point in history, WTF is there to gain by saving your ammo once the nuke is out of the bay?



Suppose there actually is fraud, which anyone but Garland could find in a week ...

takes place two weeks before the inauguration. That is plenty of time to throw that last little spoiler in the Team MAGA's soiree plans. Actually, the later the better because it would give them less time to trash the merchandise/decor/etc and order the new stuff.

Well, that's all above my pay grade.

I'd take President for a day.

Learn what a BENEVOLENT dictator would do. 😇

But if you put it that way maybe he could hand it off to Harris one day early and that would be his final kick in the ass to trump

I like it.

Would prefer the "normal" way, but that won't happen until racism and misogyny are gone.

Almost got banned, and of course, if true, it would be classified for the next 25 years.

No trick is too low for the GOP ( Gang of Putin )

Joe should do something "irreversible" shortly that can't be walked back.

Promoting a V.P. to President would be great.

Beyond that, saying what I am thinking will get me banned for sure.
