Except the 12th Amendment says:

But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.

So the only possible way this could work is if Trump got elected to Congress, was voted Speaker of the House, then both the President and Vice President resigned. Which seems far fetched.

What does Apollo 1 have to do with the reliability of the Saturn rockets…?

I have no love for Schumer and would love to see him replaced, but to play devil’s advocate for a sec, isn’t shutting down the government what Trump and his cronies want? Say the government does shut down, what would prevent Republicans just leaving it shut down indefinitely until all the furloughed employees quit (the same people they’ve been trying to fire unsuccessfully)? Or passing bills to selectively fund only the programs they like while leaving the Dept of Education and others unfunded?

I read in another article that the dog that died had recently come back from a medical procedure at the vet, and was being kept in a crate. The two that survived had access to a dog door so presumably were able to get food/water outside.

Except that this will disproportionately impact low-income communities of color that vote predominantly blue.

The complete collapse of society, but not to own the libs. It’s to set up a new political system controlled by billionaires as techno feudal lords:

Actually, there’s a lot of evidence that points to intelligence being a sexually selected trait rather than naturally selected, so in that sense it may actually negatively correlate with survival. In other words, your big brain is the human equivalent of peacock features; it will get you laid but doesn’t do much good when a tiger comes around.

Think of it this way: to sit around doing math problems all day, you have to have the basic necessities for survival dealt with, which shows you’re a good mate within the current environment. Which is all well and good until times change, the going gets tough, and you need to kill something to put food on the table.

Here’s what I find especially odd. Trump’s trip to the golf course was apparently “unplanned” and “not on his official schedule.”

Yet the gunman had been there for 12 hours:

Was he just waiting there in case Trump randomly decided to go golfing that day?

I think something people forget is that the candidates are standing like 10 feet apart. So with Trump’s mic muted, we may not be able to hear him, but Harris probably still can.

I think that’s one reason Biden seemed so feeble in their debate—he was having trouble focusing on what he was trying to say with Trump rambling on in the background. With the mics muted and the camera focused entirely on Biden, that was totally unapparent to the viewer and it seemed like Biden was just losing his train of thought for no reason. I’m sure Biden told Harris as much, which is why the Harris campaign was pushing for unmuted mics.

I find it funny that all the replies to this comment are things like, “get money out of politics” or “increase spending on education.” In other words, things that require legislative action.

So all we need to fix our broken system is for that broken system to work correctly. Got it.
