And that is why they will cling to plugs even until he is like Star Trek’s Captain Pike.
I expect there will be some kind of "unexpected event" that will remove Harris from office. After the FBI goes to "round up the usual suspects", it will all be blamed on shadowy groups of Trump supporters. Who will somehow evade identification and capture. But "The Investigation must continue until all the perpetrators can be held accountable".
There will be no 25th Amendment proceedings. Biden will resign for reasons of health after a severe bout of an undisclosed illness. Which will actually be true. That cocktail of stimulants and mood stabilizers they keep giving him must be exacting a ruinous toll. It is amazing that he has lasted as long as he has.
We haven't seen the replacement team yet. There are probably several factions jockeying for position with favored candidates, and the matter isn't settled. It won't be anybody that we know. Very specifically, it won't be Nancy Pelosi or Hillary Clinton. It will be a man.
Whoever is the winning finalist will be a mere figurehead, willing to take directions and capable of making good television appearances.
Since when did the Dems care what the public think?
Interesting take, but assumes they're not going to just steal every election from now on.
The author of this article is stupid. Romney, Collins et al would certainly vote to approve whoever Harris appointed. Moreover, with Pelosi as Speaker of the House and next in line, even Ted Cruz would vote to confirm almost anyone that would come before Pelosi being a heart beet away from the Oval Office.
The term “hoisted on their own petard” comes to mind as an apt description of the Democrats position
Did you Ford was on the Warren Commission?
Until?

Delusional.
Mitt Romney or a half dozen other Senate RINOs will vote for the Democrat agenda - or abstain - anytime the Democrats ask for their help.
As far as President Kamala Harris, she will be happy to subordinate her personal political goals - if any - to the Party leadership agenda, as long as the Democratic Party shows her the deference and flattery owed to the first female President.
The 2022 midterm election?
The Democrats have enough legal voters to win Congress, or to hold the GOP to a very narrow majority.
Meanwhile, the MSM will do its part by editing out of existence any news or analysis that might hurt Democrats at the polls.
Who wants Corey Booker as VP ?
Silence of the lambs..........
This was obvious when she was chosen tto be Biden’s running mate. Harris was so unmarketable to voters she was one of the first to drop out. She was the least likely of all the possible choices for VP to add votes to the ticket or to be an electable successor to Biden. So, the question is for what purpose, and by whom, was she chosen. What were they thinking?
I read it the same way. It seems pretty clear that the Amendment is intended for a case where the President is physically incapacitated due to illness.
If the President contests the issue, then he re-assumes his office, unless Congress, by a 2/3 vote of BOTH houses votes in favor of continuing the VP being in charge.
Notice that 2/3 of both houses is a HIGHER bar than impeachment, which just needs 2/3 of the Senate.
This means that a 25th Amendment removal is HARDER than impeachment.
They were thinking they would get black voters enthused over having a black VP (blacks wouldn’t care that she’s an idiot, look at who they voted into office in the House and Senate).
Meanwhile, white Democrats could vote for the ticket under the illusion that Harris would just be decorative and would not actually run anything.
Whoever is the winning finalist will be a mere figurehead, willing to take directions and capable of making good television appearances.
Whoever they put, I think most people will see him as a corrupt incompetent fraud.
Fully agree. He also didn’t need her in order to carry CA. Very strange choice for VP indeed.
