Joe is coasting on his 47-year long career. The public assumes he’s there, and competent, because he’s a big name politician. Of course, he’s no longer really functional, but it’s kind of easy to play pretend. Harris will not be in that position. She is not good at this job, and it will be hard to hide it.
I hold to my prediction: Biden will be forced out by summer, under the 25th Amendment. Harris will make history by being the first female president (they may also pretend she’s black) but will serve only a short time. There will be a false flag, and some “crazy Trump supporting Christian who doesn’t think women should be president” will assassinate President Harris. She will be a martyr. Pelosi will be president (this will all happen too fast for a new vice president to have been confirmed). As President, Pelosi will stage a vicious clampdown on all crazy Trump supporting Christians.
Good. The tree of liberty needs watering
After seeing the extremely large mass of cops and security to take Biden to speak at one business, along with the White House fencing, I think they will make Biden a martyr through violence. Of course the act will be pinned on some right wing white supremacist. The news would have a huge story and electing a dementia patient will never be publicly admitted. Then the round up if gun owners can begin.
And Pelosi takes over with less than 2 years left of the 2020 term so she can be in for 10 years
“(this will all happen too fast for a new vice president to have been confirmed)”
Good luck with your novel. I suggest you stick to that and don’t make bets on your prediction.
I’m going to disagree on your scenario a bit. I don’t think they’ll use the 25th to get rid of Joe. It will look too much like a coup d’etat—especially to the 75 million Trump voters who think the election was stolen in the first place.
I think it far more likely that ‘Good Ole Joe’ will tearfully announce to the nation that he is stepping down because he and his doctor wife have come to the realization that he is not up to the job. He will ask for the nation’s prayers as he faces the end of his days and begs America to unite behind the first black/Indian/Jamaican/whatever woman President of the United States.
What happens to Harris...who knows? If she does what she’s told, she might serve for a while. Why bump her off? If she looks like she might wander off of the reservation too far...all bets are off.
If the Senate Republicans are smart, they’ll delay any vote for a tie-breaking new VP until after the 2022 elections—question is, can/will they hold the line?
Pelosi is pretty much as far gone as Biden. She’s older than Biden. All of these scenarios make the U.S. look like a banana republic, which perhaps it has become.
The important question, which the media is refusing to ask, is who is really running things right now? Is it Obama, Jarret? We knew there was a swamp arrayed against President Trump and we can be pretty sure that Biden isn’t running things. Who is?
