    AOC isn't old enough.

    I would love the spectacle of putting Barry O on the ticket.

    He wouldn't be able to assume the office when Kamala has a freak car accident (during which her gun in the backseat accidentally fired twice, hitting her in the back of the head).

    I thought so too, but I guess he could actually do it, according to the vherf.

    The relevant part from the abstract:
    In fact, the relevant constitutional provisions, their histories, and their purposes all point to the same conclusion: A twice-before-elected President may become Vice-President either through appointment or through election and — like any other Vice-President — may thereafter succeed from that office to the Presidency for the full remainder of the pending term.

    And to then make it spicier, the go can resign the day after the inauguration and then the pres can appoint a new VP (who has to be confirmed)

    My guess is AOC can remember how to write vp but president is harder for her to learn.

    Would have to be Kelly, he doesn’t really do much so wouldn’t show her up

    Takes about an hour to scroll through all the pictures and get to the bottom without skipping any of them, but I've never seen such a clearly laid out website showing why the country is slowly falling apart. In 1971, the US dollar stopped being backed by gold, and since then has been backed by nothing. This is the result.

    Awesome graphic display of dysfunction. I noticed that it seems to make no difference which party is supposedly in charge, the trajectories remain the same.

    When the dollar has no base in reality (something to back it up) they can do whatever they want and get away with it.

    Does Venezuela still use those voting machines that kept Hugo Chavez in power so long. Oh wait, those are the same voting machines we use.

    I haven't found anything saying they do or do not. From what I read it was the software that came under fire.

    At day’s end, the only thing holding a currency up is confidence.
    Appearing to back a currency with a commodity merely adds another layer of manipulation.

    We shouldn't need software for voting machines, got damm*t. They used paper ballots for a long time and had most of, if not all the results by the time the ten o'clock news was over. How in the f**k do we now have computers and still don't have results until the next day?

    Yeah but one side would accuse the other side of having 30,000 paper ballots in the back of their car.... no win situation.

    "The US could lose a war with China, a congressional commission warned. The military “lacks both the capabilities and the capacity” to be confident of victory, and that the risk of a multi-front war is growing as collaboration increases between Russia, China, and other autocratic states. Washington faces other challenges, too: The national debt topped $35 trillion for the first time, driven by growing borrowing costs and ever-increasing Social Security and Medicare bills. Neither Kamala Harris nor Donald Trump, one of whom will almost certainly be the next president, have said anything on the campaign trail about deficit reduction, The New York Times reported, “suggesting that the economic problem will only worsen in the coming years.”"

    Hey @Stubble, Minnesota / Michigan close enough, will get something out when I ship the lottery winning.

    Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.
