I am far less concerned with an absence of Trump than I am how his goons & bootlickers will HANDLE it.

SO MUCH HAND-WRINGING. SO MANY PEOPLE "ALARMED."

And I'm NOT "alarmed," I am APATHETIC when it comes to Trump specifically, but...

...It's gonna be Lord Of The Flies time in a way that would make William Golding say "You have GOT to be SHITTING me."

1). The Stephen Miller Al "I AM IN CONTROL HERE" Haig moment when he leap-frogs over a sobbing JD Vance to proclaim his sovreignity

2). MELANIA & BARRON versus DON JR & ERIC & PRINCESS IVANKA versus TIFFANY versus the 200 love children who miraculously come forward

3). DON JR & ERIC & PRINCESS IVANKA versus each other when they vanquish all the others, because you KNOW they're NOT going to SHARE

4). MUSK making MILLIONS, maybe BILLIONS, off of releasing the EPSTEIN DIRT he uncovered as Admiral DOGE Shit.

5). KASH PATEL and PAM BONDI starring in the new Fox sitcome "WHO'S IN CHARGE HERE?"

...and that's just for starters.

Alexander Haig, the SoS, claimed control, although constitutionally that power would of course have gone to GHW Bush, the VP, and there was kind of a goat fuck while they sorted out who was in charge. With Trump his demise is likely to be less sudden, but we can be sure that while Vladimir Futon assumes his constitutional duties, the rest of the GOP leadership will immediately be all scorpions in a bottle because the MAGA cult won't transfer to Vance automatically.

And wouldn’t get there for a couple of hours. Tip O’Neill was next in line and should have been called to the White House until Bush arrived. But that may have been rejected because he was a democrat and they didn’t trust him. Haig made the statement that he was in control, not in charge, to signal to the Soviets that someone’s finger was still on the button.

He’s not a god. Who cares. Our lives have become worrying endlessly about trump. I don’t give that man any power over my thoughts.

These people are fundamentally monarchists and will go to shooting war for the throne.
