    I say this knowing many will reflexively disagree, but Vance is much much more dangerous.

      Trump wants to punish his “enemies.”

      Vance wants to usher in the technocracy. And not, like, the sci-fi dystopia one where actual engineers and scientists run things but get a bit eugenics-y.

    The Reds have majority control of Senate and the Supreme Court. Trump is the least of America’s problems. If they win the House too there will be no checks as it is so unbalanced.

      They already had 9 more seats than dems and net flipped is 4 towards Republicans, think its pretty safe to guess which party will have a majority. Just a matter of how much.

        It’s looking to be about a 7 seat majority. Doubt too many other seats will deviate from the current counts.

        I have vague hope for faithless electors, it didn’t work last time but maybe this time.

      Yeah, but it would make my day, at least. Also, I think he would have less support than Trump.

    His own father lived til he was 93, so we may be waiting awhile, though Trump doesn’t exercise and eats like shit, so who knows.

      Every day he lives is another day full of hope that he dies soon. I’m a “glass still has a few drops” sort of guy.

      If you have the money, medical science has come a huge way. Rich people can live super unhealthy and still be active and mobile well into old age. Sure the brain goes, but with Trump that station was passed long ago.

      Dick Cheney is 83. McConnell is 83. Kissinger was 100.

      Evil old fucks are afraid of death for obvious reasons. They aim to live forever.

    Does the vice-president-elect get inaugurated as president if the president-elect dies before that day?

      Apart from the very close one, there was also the guy hiding around Trump’s golf club with a gun.

          Trespassing? Probably something Secret Service-y about a perimeter too if I had to guess

        That’s was the time traveler one. The first one was just a disgruntled person. Easy to confused the two.
