It is noon in Washington on Saturday, January 20, 2029. Inauguration Day. A bearded man steps forward in front of the US Capitol and raises his right hand, placing his left on the Bible.
'I, James David Vance, do solemnly swear...'

“anyone can be elected as Speaker of the House!
Yep. And maybe he doesn’t even need to be a pol.
“The only downside would be the increased medical expenses both physically and mentally for Libs”
That depends on what your definition of “downside” is. I’m actually comfortable with Libs’ suffering in every way possible.
“That ain’t gonna happen.”
But it’s kinda fun to throw it out there as a different squirrel for the MSM and RATs to chase for a while. Maybe some even will have heart attacks at the prospect.
Plausible. (LOL!)
It was disappointing to hear that a travel agency in Greenland wouldn’t let her visit because they didn’t want it to seem they’re MAGA. Rude.
She’s such a cutie. And, being a lawyer, it makes sense that she can hold her own with any person or group.
We do not want Vance to resign to install Trump. Trump is, and has been, a force of nature. Get the country back on the right path now, then ...
We want Vance clearly and fairly elected in 2028.
Maybe I should apply to be Speaker of the House!
"All rise, for Speaker Laz A. Mataz."
That would make most of us happy.
I figure that 90% of FReepers would be better than 95% of actual SsOTH.
Trump is from Florida, and JD Vance is form Ohio, so that has no bearing whatsoever.
The reason for my post is that some readers might have misunderstood your post to mean that the prohibition of the electors voting for two persons from their own state was something new with the 12th amendment and I just wanted to clarify that point.
But thanks for your clarification. 🙂👍
I don’t see that as a viable option. The VP must be fully qualified as is the potus candidate. Also, since they are a single ticket, it would be a third election.
William F. Buckley, Jr., had the crazy idea in 1964 that Barry Goldwater could win if he had Eisenhower as his VP running mate. Unconstitutional and no reason to think Ike would have cooperated.
Seeing as how William F. Buckley, Jr. was well versed in politics, he may have been saying it in jest, because a) he knew about term limits & B) it is unlikely that a former President would ever serve as Vice President.
I never said that I agreed with this guy's claim, because of the 22nd amendment.
My main reason for posting it, is that as I read it I envisioned liberal heads exploding around the world. It was a rather entertaining vision to be sure. It was more for entertainment value.
There was another article posted that claimed Trump might consider a third term, which I didn't even bother to read.
I assumed he was trolling to make more liberal heads explode. 🙂👍
I was once in the same room with him when he spoke at my college when I was an undergraduate, but I didn't speak to him one-on-one and it wouldn't have occurred to me to ask him about his 1964 comment.
Now I do not read it, because it isn't the same as it was under Bill Buckley Jr. who I bean listening to in the late 70s, most likely in the tun up to the Reagan election, which was about the time that I started paying any attention to politics. Bill was at least entertaining as he was selling the conservative viewpoint.
The clowns running it now believe themselves to be smarter than their readership, which is just not the reality at all.
But it you doubt he was being serious with his statement, then that makes sense. 🙂👍
BTW, I supported Goldwater because my parents did, even though I had no clue about him whatsoever. 🙂👍
I don't remember if they had a subscription to National Review but one summer I was watering the lawn for some friends of theirs when they were on vacation and they had lots of back issues of National Review when I was able to peruse.
I actually saw President JFK at the Air Force Academy in June of 63 giving the commencement speech. I was 10. In a little more than 5 months later he would be shot & killed. That shocked me that our president could be killed like that.
We didn't have a TV in 1960 but I remember listening to the Kennedy/Nixon debates on the radio. Quemoy and Matsu! I was vaguely aware of the 1956 election because of "I like Ike" bumper stickers but probably didn't know the name of his opponent. 1960 was interesting because no one knew who was going to win.
Sadly, I feel that a vast majority, even many here on FR fail to see just how close to we are to having an authoritarian controlled government.
The Kennedy assassination was responsible for starting the division within our nation, the removal of the Lord in the public square, the radical movements of all types from racial to sexual and everything in-between. We became a litigious nation, instead of being a nation that did not run to the courts for everything.
After all, it was shortly after that event that we began to see the nation rapidly devolving into chaos, extensive drug usage, and a high degree of educational dumbing down of the students along with the introduction of the radicalism.
We were in Japan when JFK defeated Nixon, and since my parents were Nixon supporters, I was upset that JFK had won, again because of my parents support for Nixon.
So, this is coming from someone who really had no love for JFK, but looking back I can see connections that helped to reshape this nation, and not for the positive, but for the negative. I seriously doubt that the JFK filles will show who was really responsible. But I pray they do
Everyone should pray for DJT that the Lord leads him to success in this war for the soul of this nation that the Lord was responsible in its creation to begin with. The moment that the Supreme Court ruled that the government could not allow religion to play any role, was the other change point. The government does not have to endorse a religion to allow religion to thrive, but it can also prohibit religions that advocate the destruction of this nation which is part of its responsibility.
