I’m so tired of this clown show where they actively support this criminal. A criminal who will pardon them for their as-yet-to-be-done crimes while shitting on them.
It's baffling that the Speaker can be practically anyone, including non-members of what it represents.
it is kind of a weird loophole of sorts
Nutjob fascist backs fellow nut job fascist z z Z
So let me get this straight. Donnie Dumbass is already trying to run for president, as well as fight off multiple civil & criminal indictments, all of which are full-time jobs in themselves, and this bleach-brain wants to stack another full-time job on top of that?
Real smart, Marge.
Yes, MTG, we all know that you are a malformed crossbreed of a clown and an idiot. You don't need to emphasize this every day.
Trump is running for president, how would this work exactly ?
The theory is somehow Trump becomes Speaker (I don’t know enough about US politics to know how this works).
Then they ramp up the “it’s real Americans against the elites” rhetoric enough for some random MAGA cultists (and maybe some corrupted secret service agents) go beyond Jan 6 and actually assassinate Biden and Harris so than Trump gains control and becomes Kim Jung-Cheetoh of the Democratic People’s Republic of America.
The scary thing is that it seems ridiculously far fetched like the Jan 6 insurrection did before it actually happened.
