At this rate, by next week Trump will appear on live TV in a loincloth screaming gibberish atop the "Resolute Desk" as a small mob of MAGAts spit roasts the Joint Chief of Staff on the Oval Office carpet.

Lin Wood putting this out there could easily be seen as a call for it to happen. A call to his thousands of Qanon pilled, potentially violent followers. He is basically telling a lot of unstable people who are desperate for Trump to remain in office that the way for that to happen is for Pence to not be Vice President on Wednesday.

So I don't know how Wood thinks he figures in at all, unless he plans on taking out Pelosi and Grassley, too.

The President would have to appoint a new VP, who would have to be approved by both houses of Congress.

not to mention as mad as a box of frogs. If Pence is shot by a firing squad there's no vice president to act as president of the senate, but the constitution provides that the senate can choose a president pro tem, which they have already done; it's Chuck Grassley. He is also third in line for the presidency, after Pelosi. So without Pence, the job of overturning the election would go to Grassley, but he's not likely to do it, so Wood would have to shoot him, too. There's no way Pompeo fits into this insane scheme at all, because there is no line of succession to the vice presidency.

Is that my cousin and my favorite co-worker and my best friend in high school are whackos along with another 50 million Americans.

Is this what "being an American" means to them in 2021?

Because I would be if I were them. This whole spectacle is just one big fucking clown car shit-show. It almost seems absurd that people are even having serious discussions about it.

that one has to wonder if there aren't 50 billion monkeys typing at keyboards in some basement, probably in St. Petersburg (no, not FL, RU).

I've always wondered what trump does when he finally wakes up late morning and finds that jarvanka, jr, miller, joker has sent out some juicy things while he was doped up.

Does he just go with the flow, or more likely, can't remember shit-from-shinola an hour earlier and says "sounds good to me (burp)".

executed. In the meantime, white satan will tell all.

Whatever lin is on is clearly some very powerful stuff. I think he should take more of it, maybe overdose.

...that he is "the imperfect man" chosen as the second coming of Christ"...🤔 ... the imperfect vessel by which Christ returns...once again, recorded by his law firm partners.

And it is easy to dismiss his rantings on Twitter, until you read the comments of his followers...jfc, talk about the krackens...

The day before yesterday he was telling the world that Chief Justice Roberts was a child trafficker who killed Scalia. He's actually falling apart faster than Orange Anus. Hell, Dim Don's the Rock of Gibraltar compared to Li'l Linnie.
