You know how they are vetting national guard to protect Biden from harm?

In my paranoid mind I wonder if there is a sinister plan under way.

What if leftists orchestrate the assassination of Biden during the inauguration, making it look like a right wing insurrection attack?

Then Kamala is president day one.

This horrendous act would then justify a Martial law lockdown of the entire country.

To quell any support for the insurrection the Harris Administration would need to arrest conservative leaders in the media and government.

A Complete black out of any free speech during the crisis would be necessary of course.

Then to kick start the economy she could initiate stimulus project by building 100s of re-education camps.

The timing of her resignation must have been planned to deprive Californians of an opportunity to vote for her replacement at a special election. Harris would not want to put the Democratic Senate majority at risk by letting the people vote.

Does she drink?

Great. We’re going to have a senile Joe and a drunken slut in the White House

My cell phone’s autocorrect wanted me to write “basement” instead of White House. Seriously.

The thing is intelligent!

There is no special election to replace a resigning Senator in California. The Governor appoints a replacement, which in this case is Alex Padilla.

I’m just surprised she didn’t want to hold on to it so
she could be addressed as Vice President/Senator and have
two votes in the Senate.

Another usurpation, ho-hum, it’s been done.

Biden? No kidding. He is pasty-faced, full of white makeup...and some pieces of the makeup appear to be falling off.

It’s like a rotting corpse.

That will be November 2022.

One Federal Court has interpreted the 17th Amendment to the US Constitution to require special elections to fill vacant US Senate seats.

Judge v. Quinn, 612 F.3d 537 (7th Cir. 2010)

A gubernatorial appointment of a US Senator can only be temporary.

50-49 for the impeachment trial.

I assume there will be a special election to replace her.

The White House has a basement, several sub-basements, and extensive tunnels.

I don’t know who will reside where.

Watch that movie with Gerard Butler. Terrorists kill the Veep, try to kidnap the Prez, Butler saves him...and it’s a great potboiler.

I wonder if Slo Joe has seen it.

I trust you know what happens when you assume. There is no special election to replace a resigning Senator in California. The Governor appoints a replacement, which in this case is Alex Padilla.
