Roger Stone unveils a doozy of a plan to install Donald Trump as president

[Algernon Moncrieff]

First, Stone expects the House of Representatives to elect Trump as its Speaker if they retake control of the lower congressional chamber in this year's midterm elections. This is permitted in the United States Constitution. Literally, anybody whom a majority of the House chooses can hold the gavel as long as they meet the basic qualifications for getting elected, which in the House is any citizen 25 years of age and up.

Next, Stone predicts that Biden's Cabinet will invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him from office. Over what, he did not say.

In the final stage, according to Stone, Congress will impeach and remove Vice President Kamala Harris for refusing to promote ivermectin, a deworming medication used in horses, as an effective treatment against COVID-19. It is not.

1. Apparently ole Roger didn't listen in his Civics class

1. Why the fuck would Biden's Cabinet invoke the 25th A? That doesn't even make sense, and,

2. I guess that Stone forgot that it takes a 2/3rds majority of Senators to convict and remove VP Harris, which clearly isn't going to happen.

What a fucking loon.

[Justice matters.]

10. I think he is scared shitless at the thought of ending up in jail soon.

With his oath-keeper loons accused of conspiracy to overthrow the government.

It's full-on paranoia.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

11. +100. nt

[Ohio Joe]

12. I don't think the 'plan' even get that far...

I don't think the repugs could get enough votes for TFG to become speaker.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

14. +100. nt

[calimary]

44. And I can't see Biden's Cabinet EVER turning on him.

One can certainly see what Roger wishes for. But then again, he lives in a world of scheming and lies and treachery and dirty tricks.

[Darwins_Retriever]

25. The 25th does not remove the President

It just puts the President on the sidelines. He/She is still President. When the President shows the capability of resuming duties, the President resumes the duties.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

26. Thanks,

but I was already well aware of that, I was talking about removing VP Harris.

[treestar]

38. Not to mention that it is hardly a high crime

or misdemeanor not to promote ivermectin.

[Samrob]

43. I think someone would "off" Trump before he could become President again. nt

[Ray Bruns]

2. This is nothing more than an exercise to fire up the rubes

and empty their wallets. They all seem to live in fantasy land.

[KS Toronado]

35. That's it in a nutshell

[cos dem]

3. He obviously got hold of some bad acid.

[agingdem]

4. So are Roger and th Pillow Guy sleeping together???

two moronic Don Quixotes "tilting at windmills"...and we know how much Trump hates windmills

[redwitch]

36. I wish they were sharing a prison cell together!

I wish rump and Rudy had the adjoining cell.

[brush]

5. Cray-cray. I see Stone is joining trump in the dementia club..

Time to pack it in, Stone. Delusion has caught up with you.

[Hugin]

6. The only part of that garbage which bothers me is the Speaker part...

Not because I believe it will be successful. My thought is there are those who will try it.

It takes a simple majority and I think there are enough never-again-tfgs among the Republican House for it to fail. The disruption to government (which is really what they are after and owning the libs) will be quite severe.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

20. The question is whether any of them are left after November

Trump has that party pretty well cowed at the moment.

If they get a majority, there are other equally obnoxious possibilities. They could make MTG speaker - it'd be about the same difference.

I assure you, a 2023 House will make hearings into voter fraud, criminal investigation of Anthony Fauci. And impeachment their first priorities. This will mean not a meaningful thing will get done for two years. Unclear how the voters will react. Clinton and Obama both got more popular after their first midterm bloodbaths. So did Reagan.

7. Thanks! I needed a good laugh this morning!

Frikken looney toons!

[exboyfil]

8. What is left unsaid is that if the GOP gets

into the line of succession at either 3 (Speaker) or 4 (Pro Temp), would Pelosi (if it is 4), Biden and Harris then be in physical danger? I remember prior to the swearing in and seating of the Georgia Senators, I thought that political assassination(s) was a possibility.

Stone may be saying 25th Amendment and impeachment, but his followers are thinking the above.

[Wounded Bear]

17. Indeed! I would worry more about a '2d Amendment solution' then...

[Algernon Moncrieff]

21. My take

It's his indirect way of saying that Biden will be removed for senility - a common rejoinder in wingnutland.

[Norbert]

9. This is not even original

The RWNJs have been parroting this for a year.

Even if it is possible this has only a slightly better chance of happening as Cy Young pitching a no-hitter tomorrow.

[Blue Owl]

13. From the meth-addled mind of that freakshow

[CrackityJones75]

15. We had folks here saying the same regarding Hillary

We had folks here saying the same regarding Hillary in 2016-17

[Thomas Hurt]

16. Stone is just saying this, tit for tat, since the ability of the Pig was in question...

during his reign. The christofascists will try to impeach Biden on manufactured controversies if they win a majority at least twice maybe three times. The is just going to be the SOP.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

22. Yep

It's going to become the no-confidence vote, which was never the intended use. Nixon and Trump should have been removed, and (although I liked him and voted for him twice) I can make the argument that Bill Clinton should have been removed as well (he lied to a grand jury).

[BlueIdaho]

18. Forewarned is Forearmed.

Thanks for the tip asshole.

[smirkymonkey]

19. Uh, Fuck No.

Go do us all a favor and kill yourself, Roger.

[A HERETIC I AM]

24. You know, in an ideal world....

a Batman would have already beaten the crap out of that wannabe Penguin and put him in jail already.

[brooklynite]

27. To be fair, the exact opposite of that plan was trumpeted here a few years ago...

Elect Hillary Clinton as Speaker and then (somehow) Impeach and remove both Trump and Pence.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

48. You would need minimum 65 seats in the Senate for that to have any chance

I think Stones calculus is if Biden passes on or becomes incapacitated, they could try to vote out Harris. In the Trump world, it is widely assumed that everyone despises Harris, so they figure this won't be a problem.

[trusty elf]

28. O Stone, be not so!

[Midnight Writer]

29. More cult messaging. He's just giving "the faithful" something to hang on to.

If the followers get bored or disillusioned, they will stop giving money.

[jcgoldie]

30. Biden's cabinet be like...

[OMGWTF]

31. Hey Roger -- you scared bro? You sound scared. And nucking futz!

[Traildogbob]

32. Never gonna happen

McCarthy is a powerful warrior for the constitution and with his steel backbone, will fight for what’s right, his earned rightful place as speaker. He would fight tirelessly for that leadership role, as the amazing leader he is. Also, Trump loves him and Trump’s loyalty to his people would never allow him to belittle Kevin in such an evil way. Just not how trump treats his warriors. That I can tell you. Believe me.

[jcgoldie]

40. ...

[KPN]

33. Desperado cockamamie.

[peppertree]

37. Why won't he come to his senses...

He's been out riding senseless, for so long now.

[KPN]

46. Lol.

[TygrBright]

34. Taking doolally to a whole nother level... n/t

[colorado_ufo]

39. "Stupid is as stupid does."

(Apologies to Mr. Gump's mom.)

[Texin]

41. And what makes Stone think he and buddy tRump won't be in prison by then?

[SKKY]

42. He's clearly not well.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

45. Roger Stone has lost all grips on realty

Biden's cabinet will not remove joe and the GOP can never get 67 votes to impeach MVP Harris

[Initech]

47. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 10,000 times...
