That’s it. Ron Vara. Proof that we are supremely screwed. Can’t even imagine if one if Bidens people had pulled anything like this. And that Mr. Navarro can still go out in public now that his imaginary friend has been exposed… these people have no shame in their vast stupidity. Someone end this farce of a “government”.

And the “jerk off Trump till he has a heart attack”. 😂😂😂. That gamer needs a trophy! Ha!

The ‘ You will always feel insecure. It will never go away ‘ was delivered like a curse from the bony finger of a gypsy crone, just Brilliant!

That thought will never evacuate from Skippy the Dipshit’s noggin. It will hang on like a booger on the finger of little snot wiper, impervious to all efforts to flick it away!

The ‘You have no friends. You will die alone’ is some heavy Shit to be reading as you zip along in your pricey jet plane, all alone.

I so wish him the Worst possible mental anguish and gnashing of teeth the rest of his miserable Life.

OK, see here’s the thing. The order of succession isn’t like some game of tenpins. Should a blessed miracle occur and the Orange Shitstain no longer be in office; yes, JD Bowman-Vance would step up to the Big Boy desk.

But…

He would then appoint someone to fill the office of VP, which is subject to Senate confirmation.

It’s not like Holy Mike automatically slides into the Vice Presidency. That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works.

The VP nominee has to be confirmed by BOTH houses. The Speaker can actually obstruct the confirmation of the VP.

Expand full comment
Marla's avatar

You're correct about both Houses needing to confirm. The language of the 25th Amendment goes into great detail about what happens when POTUS steps aside temporarily and the VP becomes acting President and what happens when POTUS decides to return to the office.

But there's nothing in the 25th about the Speaker having the ability to block the nomination for the successor VP. See Section 2.

Please see my comment below. Not everyone has the money for a Tesla, and we didn't. Sooz, and Cyndi, I am so annoyed with these comments about other alternatives.

If anyone has children, or worse, grandchildren, (I told my son back in 2017 I didn't want grandchildren) they will have no future. Therefore, driving a Tesla is better than driving a gasoline powered car. Why don't you change your opinion to not buying Tesla stock? I would suggest you put solar on your roofs and then get an EV, any kind. As I said, think long. Think consequences of continuing to drive gas cars...

John Baron, John Miller and David Dennison all sound like names for '70's porno stars. So does Ron Vara, for that matter. Trump was peddling counterfeit crap before he got into steaks, bottled water, and gold spray-painted sneakers. And Navarro has been regarded as a counterfeit economist since the 1990's.

David Dennison was not a publicist ID. It was the fake name he used on the hush-money contract with Stormy Daniels.
