Keep in mind that in 1961 the instrument behind decapitation of the federal government was a surgical strike on Washington in a limited nuclear war. Today the threats are more diverse. "Black Sky," decapitation via taking down the local/regional electrical grid, was covered in that "NCIS" episode I mentioned in a previous post.

You may recall that when 9/11 happened, Dubya was removed to Offutt AFB near Omaha in the geographic center of the country. This is the fallback location of the federal government in the event of a similar catastrophe, the rally point for the survivors of a decapitation.

Makes sense, but I thought it was Cheyenne Mountain.

9-11, Dubya, Offutt, Air Force One: What I’m remembering about that whole cluster flock is that for all the 20 some-odd kinds of comm gear AF-1 had only two actually worked: a cell phone and the plane’s radio.

There’s no way I’m betting on any kind of help from the FedGov if/when things turn south. I’ve seen their half-assness way too many times——no matter where they might try to hide out?

Expecially if Mumbles is involved?

Question: What if it was Trump who facilitated the “decapitation” of the Executive branch?
