Replacing Joe, the vegetable
2021-07-07
[American Thinker] The mental decline of Joe Biden accelerates. How long can he function as even a puppet president? The bigger question is: what happens when drugs can no longer keep Joe semi-coherent?

Let's pick a time, say, late November 2021, and fantasize.

At the end of November, the Democrat high command verges on a nervous breakdown. The President has not been seen in person or photographed for six weeks. Rumors abound that he no longer recognizes even his wife and that he wears Depends.

His wife assures everyone that Joe is okay and merely under the weather. He will return to duty after taking an extended break during the holiday season. Meanwhile Jill's hated rival, VP Kamala Harris, licks her chops.

The 2021 gubernatorial elections in New Jersey and Virginia have already shaken the high command. In ultra-blue New Jersey the GOP candidate came within two thousand votes of winning. In purple-blue Virginia Terry McAuliffe (D-Clinton) was blown out. In addition, the GOP captured both houses of the Virginia legislature.

The Democrats’ high command knows disaster awaits in the 2022 elections. Inflation, crime, and evictions show no sign of abating and the economy is beginning to tank. Add to that the complete absence of presidential leadership, the party faces a drubbing next November that would extend to the dog catcher level.

Joe needs to go and fast. Problem is that Jill has so far rebuffed any such suggestion. The 25th Amendment provides an alternative way to jettison a president, but this requires a two-thirds majority in both houses to be permanent. The Republicans would have to buy in.

But the GOP even more than Jill Biden cannot stomach Kamala Harris ascending to the Presidency.

#13  Could be the New England Group feels they have enough spots wrapped up they can thumb the California Group, in which case they will wheel the weeble wobble to '24.

Expect occasional Joe Headroom pre-records and more Harris is an Awful Person being discussed by east coast media.

#11  What if people decide elections are like using leeches medicinally? Obsolete. That might be fun.

That's what the Capitol protest was about.

#7  This is not a problem. You are assuming that they can not (or won't) change the voting machines like they did in 2020. They hack they did to Trump can be applied to any election down to dog catcher.

You are also thinking they have any shame. Think how the Iranian Mullahs responded to the "Green Revolution.'

#5  The Republicans would have to buy in

Why? Let all the Karens and suburban wine sipping ladies live with what they created. You believe you rule by scarring people, they haven't been scared enough. Let them live with what they created because they were 'offended' by mean tweets. Don't ever let them have a pass, make them own it.

Likely won't happen until the 2022 election cycle.
If they see the possibility of losing the House.

Socialist-Democrats aren't stupid enough to put K-Gal and P-Gal in the White House by using the 25th Amendment....
