They are all pretty frightening.

[Skittles]

1. they are ALL disgusting

bunch of Trump whores

[sheshe2]

13. Evil, every last one is evil.

And they call themselves Christians.

[DENVERPOPS]

23. Pretty much

a stacked deck, with the world's greatest Crime Syndicate, the Republicans in charge.......

[Ocelot II]

2. They're all terrible.

Probably the least terrible one of the bunch is Chuck Grasshole, and that's a pretty low bar. But at least ol' Chuck wasn't a Trump appointee.

[sheshe2]

6. To name a few..

Hogsbreath is an alcoholic.
Noem can't even secure her own pocketbook.
Kennedy has a brain worm.

etc etc

[LudwigPastorius]

15. Yeah, that begs the question,...

if Bob became the president, would the presidential brain worm be elevated to a Cabinet-level position?

[sheshe2]

17. The worm is dead...

though he/it may be a shoe in for Sec.of Defense since Hegseth is dead drunk all the time.

[bdamomma]

3. Incompetence

and all cult members. Damn them all. Kakistocracy that's what they are.

[Wounded Bear]

4. Yeah, kinda gives pause to the whole wishing he would just die strategy...

Not a gem in the group.

[mopinko]

9. it wont solve much.

he’s just the face of the fascist oligarchs. he’s too stupid/demented to engineer all this.

[greatauntoftriplets]

5. They're scarier than a Stephen King novel.

[sheshe2]

8. He had a vision and wrote about them.

You will probably recognize them in his books.

[sheshe2]

25. I'll start.

Trump is Governor Stillson. The Stand
"The missiles are flying"

Trump Supporters are Trashcan man.

Pretty sure that Noem is Carrie's mom.

[greatauntoftriplets]

32. I have a confession.

I find his books too scary to read, and the only movie I saw was "The Shining". It creeped me out.

[sheshe2]

33. Ha... I have read most of them.

[Deuxcents]

7. We've got work to do to change this .. gotta get em off the couch n vote 🗳️

[Silent Type]

10. Damn. All losers, but I'm not sure they can be worse than trump (though they are close). As much as I despise them,

I think Rubio, maybe Grassley, would be best of that bunch, but not saying much. Think they’d go for a different Cabinet.

[Polybius]

11. Scott Bessent seems amazing

At least on that list.

[GaYellowDawg]

12. When you look at a list of that many names

and Marco Rubio stands out as the best available option, then we're at the bottom of the septic tank.

[Jack Valentino]

14. Too many sociopaths and criminals...

It would be like that game where you hit the groundhog on the head with a hammer,
but another one pops right up....

[dchill]

22. Whack-a-mole.

But yep - sociopaths and criminals.

[RockRaven]

16. Outside of a Tom Clancy novel or similar, the order of succession largely doesn't matter

because any vacancy from VP down would be filled very very quickly.

[markodochartaigh]

28. Remember when President Reagan was shot

and Al Haig gave a press conference and said that he was in charge? I shudder to think of the scramble for power that would occur in the current line of succession should the presidency be in flux. And then you have to add Elon too.

[ecstatic]

18. trump has to go. I don't care who's next.

We made the mistake last time of worrying about the order of succession. There is absolutely nobody more reckless and more stupid than trump. He has to go... like yesterday. Millions, potentially even billions of lives are at stake.

[peacebuzzard]

19. that is a list of idiots

not a decent one in the whole lot; rotten to the core

[Figarosmom]

20. Glad noem is last

So if the ever is an event that would wipe out the line, we have to hope they are all in the same place. Could happen since trump never follows norms so the norm that 1 of them would be in a safe location would be ignored.

During the State of the Union did they have one guy put safly away? I can't see them doing it.

[Meowmee]

21. Yep, another part of the system that is fucked up crazy- which created a never ending MESS

There should be another election soon after if someone is impeached probably. I think that any of those choices is still better than psycho and hopefully they would be a lame duck of some sort.

[LT Barclay]

24. I didn't see Kiefer Sutherland? What happened?

[markodochartaigh]

26. Given the current quality of the script writing for our reality;

I'm betting that Whisky Pete is president by Thanksgiving and he pardons the Wild Turkey.

[sheshe2]

27. I doubt that Whiskey Pete will last that long.

He is drowning in his cups as we speak.

[markodochartaigh]

29. I think that Pickled Pete gets a bad rap.

I think much of the blame goes to his assistants Jim Beam, Jack Daniel, and Johnnie Walker.

[sheshe2]

30. You made me laugh!

[Rhiagel]

31. Change 2 and 3 in '26.

Replace 0 and 1 in '28, then 4 through 18 will follow.
