[I totally question if we will inaugurate a new POTUS in Jan 2017.]
Yep, as do I. You know, there was once a country with huge economic problems, an upcoming election and then there was a Reichstag Fire.
Of course, that kind of stuff could never happen here in the good old U.S.A.
Or, it could be half of the country thought that X won fair and square, and half thinks X stole it from Y, so half the country decides the govt is totally illegit.
At one of the big riots/demos this summer, there will be gunfire or bombs, and the USA will change into a giant Northern Ireland in about a week.
So even if a new POTUS is declared, he or she may only be “ruling” a fiat regime in a dirty civil war.
The big prize is the power grid, and then civilization is at threat. Two weeks without power, and the USA will be FUBAR.
