In the wake of the Afghanistan debacle, demands have arisen in Congress for President Biden to resign or to be removed via the 25th Amendment. Elements of the formerly pro-Biden media have joined in the condemnation.
Many silent Democrat office holders likely want Biden out, as they fear the systemic incompetence of his administration will bring them down come 2022.
But Joe can not resign or be fired. The Democrat high command will not let either happen (snip) As soon as Kamala Harris takes the presidential oath, the vice-presidency is left vacant. In that case a tie vote means the legislation, resolution, or confirmation under consideration fails.

The problem with this argument is assuming that RINO Mitch would actually oppose a VP pick by Kamala.
I wouldn't bet my Diet Pepsi on him finally manning up!

#1, It is a sad state of affairs when you cannot trust your own Republican leadership to do what is good and right for this country because their allegiance lies with their ability to keep the status quo going. We are being governed by corrupt anti-American democrats and disgusting self-serving Republicans who see tax payers as nothing more than a herd of cash cows solely there to benefit them.

Fascinating article, posing scenarios I'd never read about. Everything now hinges upon Kam keeping her tie-breaking vote in the Senate as VP. For as long as possible (or for as long as the dems can keep up the deceit of Joe being functioning/alive), she needs to stay where she is to push through as much of their America-busting agenda as possible.
It's not a long article and is quite interesting to ponder.

Mitt and the liberal gals will reach across the aisle, so the democrats need not worry about getting their nominee rammed through.

From day to day now I don't know if the cadaver Biden is still with us. Those photo shopped pictures of him at Camp David with the wrong time on the clocks is an example. Most of the time the clown spends somewhere but not in the White House. This is the most eerie administration I've witnessed in all my years. This is a fraudulent, illegal downright criminal administration while groups of nitwit un-Americans call the shots. I would not doubt some nefarious doings by the left if Joe became a 'cadaver'.

Maybe even demosluts will now start to question the White House agenda after Afghanistan. I'm sure demosluts will get an earful from many demoslut voters over that mess. Even some demosluts don't like the optics being shown.

I get the main point of the article: Dems need Sleepy Creepy Joe in the White House to further their agenda. If he dies, the GOP gains more influence to block the Dems' agenda.
However, when the article starts talking about covering up the death of Joe Biden, the writer lost me. Do you really think Kamala is going to stand for that? She wants power just as much as anyone.
IMO, we need to avoid these rabbit holes of conspiracy. Better to focus on the provable crap we can see to defeat the leftist agenda. There is PLENTY of observable, provable crap to focus on. We don't need spooky conspiracy theories to make our points -- even if the spooky conspiracy theories were true.
The fact is that Sleepy Creepy Joe Biden FUBARed the exit from Afghanistan so badly even his friends in the LSM cannot defend him. His VP won't be seen in the same room with him. He is running off for vacation -- in the middle of a crisis! These are facts. They are observable. They themselves are damning.

What does he mean by -if- Joe dies? He's been clinically brain dead for years.

I framed a political ad mailed to me by the Trump campaign, and put it up over my computer.
"Weekend at Biden's" shows a probably dead Biden being held up by 'crazy Bernie Sanders,' 'Angry Nancy pelosi.'
And across the drawing are the words, "It would be funny if it wasn't so serious.'
The 50/50 split in the Senate makes me nervous. Portman of Ohio and Toomey of Pennsylvania are both republicans, AND both retiring next year.
Each seat could go to a Democrat.

Re #7: “ Do you really think Kamala is going to stand for that? She wants power just as much as anyone.”
I think Kamala will do as she’s told. Pretty sure that’s why she and Biden were picked from the beginning. Both are corrupt enough to be kept in line.

I don't see how they could keep his death secret for more than a few hours. Let alone days. Weeks or months. Somebody would blab it out.

Biden had two four- hour brain operations in 1988. These were completely covered up by our traitorous media. The last doctor predicted the he would not achieve 35% mental acuity. It was on Google but they erased the story six months before the election. I blame the Republicans for not reporting it. Trump's health was in the headlines but nothing about Biden. Both parties are guilty of fraud and stupidity.

Let's try this scenario...Biden leaves office (dead or alive)...Kammie becomes President. Mitch and Chuckie work out the details of a "grand coalition" that elevates any one of dozens of "Republicans" to the Vice Presidency - Romney, Liz Cheney, Lindsay, Collins, Murkowski, Paul Ryan, ad nauseum. Everything will fly through and America will rejoice at a co-operative bi-paprtisan congress "getting things done."

I believe there is a special election coming up for a Senate seat if the R's win the dims majority is kaput! then you will see Xiden resign or 25th amendment invoked. and BJ Harris will be impotent.

#16 - Are you talking about a US Senate seat? or a local race, because a local race will not affect the 50-50 split in WDC.

In this scenario, Biden dead and Harris his replacement, RINOs like Collins and Romney will ride to the rescue of the Democrats just like the Republican leader of the Pennsylvania senate recently quashed a subpoena for vote auditing of the November election. We need a new RINO-free party.

As I recall, the next person in line for President is Pelosi, then Secretary of the Army (now Defense), and the choices keep getting worse after that. What is the problem with that? For Dimmocrats, that is.

Pelosi may be third in line but she will most likely never get there. If Joe goes, no matter how it happens, Commie-la gets to choose a new VP who will have to be confirmed by the senate and Pelosi remains where she is. Unless Commie-la chooses Pelosi in which case I think we’d see a real insurrection.
The one scenario not covered in this article is what happens if a bunch of demonrats decide to save their own careers and vote with the Republicans on the 25th amendment?

Well, that's because he is Charlie McCarthy. Only thing that can take him down is termites.

Only Dems vote in lockstep. Repubs have mavericks.

This author is missing the part where the new president gets to choose their own VP. Gerald Ford chose Nelson Rockefeller. Is he saying that the new VP doesn't get to vote in the Senate?
