        There was a crazy idea a year or so ago that they would impeach Biden and somehow skip Harris and have the speaker of the House become president. Maybe that is their master plan.

          My father believed this and was sure that not only would Trump be Speaker of the House, but that Democrats would help Republicans impeach and remove Biden and Harris so Trump could be President again. He was so sure this was coming that he wanted to bet me that this would happen. I didn’t take the bet because I knew my father would “forget” the bet and/or change the terms of the bet after that fact.

          My father didn’t have an answer as to why the Democrats would help remove Biden and Harris and get Trump into power again. He just accepted it as truth from whatever right wing source he was watching.

          Not that difficult a plan once Trump is Speaker.

          Just need to have Jan 6 Par 2 go more successfully.

          His fan club literally had gallows built for Mike Pence and he was his damn VP.

        Matt Gaetz voted for Trump in one of the speaker votes back in January. Trump had (and has) no chance to get more than a small minority of Republican votes

        Well, they don’t get anything done anyway, it’ll just be a lot more not getting done with extra angry white trash if that screeching monster gets elected speaker

                “We are producing fossil fuels. That keeps people’s houses warm in the winter. That saves people’s lives, people die in the cold. This Earth warming and carbon is actually healthy for us. It helps us to feed people, it helps keep people alive. The Earth is more green than it was years and years ago, and that is because of the Earth warming.”

                  ok, that one is definitely true real. Amazing how you can search her name with any issue and find some ignorant or complete batshit take on it.

                Laugh all you want, but it’s theoretically possible to start forest firest from a space laser. Atmospheric scatter and all.

                It’s not what happened, but it is technically possible to focus enough energy on one spot with modern lasers.

            Just checked, you are correct, but it’s a sad state of affairs when it’s still that believable.
