Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Wishing Mr. Vance a speedy transition to power. Preferably like, tonight.
Wishing for the rest of the world he has a speedy transition right back out of power. Preferably like, very slightly later, also tonight.

Just a quick reminder that the next person in the line to become president after the Vice President and the President are no longer able to perform the job is the Speaker of the House.
I thereby direct you to take a look at who the Speaker of the House is currently.
It's shit heads all the way down.
It is very unlikely to ever get to the speaker. Everyone in the line doesn't move up one. If trump dies, vance becomes president but Johnson doesn't suddenly ascend to vp. Vance selects a new vp that I believe needs senate confirmation.
Not really. Trump and Vance would have to both die at essentially the same time for the role to be given to the speaker. In any other situation, Vance would become president and then nominate a new VP.
A new vice president has to be confirmed by the Senate. That takes time.
The cure is the same regardless of how many Nazis step up to fill the role of their fallen accomplices.

It’s always turtles all the way down.
Had me going in the first half, not gonna lie.
As evidenced by the damp cushions, Vance doesn't do pulling-out.
Corpses generally don't.
Anyone remember the show Designated Survivor?
That would make Mike Johnson next in line
Might have to reload if this keeps up.
That's what spare magazines are for :)
I am curious how many simultaneous heart attacks would have to happen before we get to somebody sane
It doesn't look good. United States presidential line of succession - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_line_of_succession
As a run of the mill average American Joe, holy shit! They got every single spot except. That should be illegal. But at least most of them got big tits. Probably even Frank Sinatra's dead horse's strep infected asshole voice double....you know the one.
Every day I pray for a certain notebook to land in the grass in front of me.
The notebook rules do imply either oblivion or eternal servitude though (And an afterlife to lose suddenly seems much more likely if you're finding magic killer notebooks) Gotta trick someone else into writing down the names for you.
Small price to pay. The real downside if such a thing exists is someone with worse intentions could use it.
