The very embodiment of carrying on to the bitter end 🙁

 

It has been obvious that she was in failing health for years. If anything good comes out of this it may be an increased focus on age limits (term limits is a rainbow bridge too far) in our elected representatives.

I suspect Adam Schiff is already on the phone with Newsom.

[Mike E 11,739]

I expect Governor Newsom is on the phone with Governor Newsom. He should take the job for his own sake.

May she finally be at peace.

For some reason my Alexa defaults to NPR San Fran. Not sure why.

 

A lot of discussion about whether they will bring forward the election due in March, the need to appoint an interim and the various identity requirements needed, competency not mentioned.

 

I did not know she had started in SF, makes sense.

Theory I heard was Harris back to the Senate, Newsom to VP, Harris and Schiff to worry about 2024, Biden to last as long into his second term as he can, then Newsom gets 8+ years to screw the rest of the country the way he’s screwed Kalifornistan 😎

 

Talk about conspiracy theories 🤪

There was an article in the Graun today about the need to get rid of Old Joe. CNN were doing the same, and from a very brief review other Progressive media sources are following the same track. Apparently Thanksgiving is the deadline day.

 

None are suggesting Kamala as a replacement, they seem to have thrown her under the bus.

 

Certainly Schiff to Senate has been mentioned, I seem to recollect he has quite a few issues under the rug, Newsom I would have thought would be too easy to campaign against but who knows.

Quote

 

The race to succeed her in a safe Democratic seat has attracted high-profile candidates, Adam Schiff, a former House intelligence chair, squaring off against fellow members of Congress Katie Porter and Barbara Lee.

The Democratic governor of California, Gavin Newsom, has promised to install a Black woman in any vacant seat.

I am amazed that a person like Schiff can even be elected as dog catcher.....what a scumbag, lying, repulsive person he is.  He should be prosecuted for election interference and lying to Congress.  He, knowingly, spewed lies and false information to the American people in an attempt to sway the 2020 election.

That is actually rather logical, and Harris would want a promise to be offered the next SCOTUS appointment.

Can you imagine that?  What a frightening thought!!!

So let's add to this conspiracy.  We see the Dems do what the theory states, but Old Corrupt Joe resigns soon after (in his current term) and let's Newsom run in 2024, and he can potentially serve 2 plus terms.  As the other way, Old Joe would have to last through January 2027.

The only hope for dems in 2024, imho, is for MO to ride in on a white horse to save the day.

I still don't see that happening.  The Obama's may want to remain in the wings, but I don't really think they are interested in being back out front.

I hope you are right.  Right now, I don't see anyone else thrashing DJT.
