Fact is Zhou's not in charge and never has been. Others behind the scenes have been pulling the strings. I consider this a possible Constitutional crisis and have no doubt the Dem's will invoke emergency orders or similar with the SCOTUS in line to support a takeover by Deep state operatives until the next election.
If there is a change at the top, this is just one more thing not thought through well. If the current occupant is no longer in place, the proverbial curtain will be well and truly pulled back and the puppet masters exposed for all to see.
Harris would be an even bigger disaster. But would they actually want to get them both out of office? To do what, install Nancy Pelosi? Not bloody likely. I'll go out on a limb and say that they may actually be considering decertifying the 2020 election and starting over.
The Dems are so quick to accuse the other side of “creating a constitutional crisis”, but it seems that this situation with Joey the joke and Kamala the klutz will truly result in a genuine crisis, the likes of which this country has never seen.
Tucker’s video clip of the POTUS being dissed and dismissed by everyone in the room spoke volumes, but how do they pull it off. You can’t just deliver a pink slip with the morning meds, or go all DJT, “You’re fired!” Whacha gonna do with Kammy?
I suppose, as one of the commenters said, they can ignore the laws and the Constitution and tell the country that these extraordinary circumstances require extraordinary solutions. Then they march out the Covid measures as a perfectly valid example of how sometimes you just gotta break and ignore the laws in order to preserve the nation.
Oh, and have these geniuses thought about what nefarious activities might transpire elsewhere in the world while all of this is being carried out? You don’t suppose China might decide that with all the distractions it’d be a great time to make a move for Taiwan? Or N. Korea goes after S. Korea? What could possibly go wrong while these idiots trample on the Constitutional mechanisms that founded and protected this country?
Why do I have the feeling that 2022 may prove to be the most fateful year that this country has ever faced?
While VP is a constitutional office, there is no way to force a confirmation. With Kama Sutra changing residences, the Senate reverts to true 50-50 status--no tiebreaker. So Obama could not be forced through on a straight party line vote. The question becomes, would there be a deal, or could McConnell delay until after the 11/22 election? Delaying a coup of this start would be very attractive to all GOP, because then they could drive an extremely hard bargain--or continue without a VP. This situation seems to me to be far more complicated than Widburg and others are thinking. No doubt the power brokers have already been laying plans for various scenarios.
My first reaction on seeing Biden lost in space was, oh, there’s Kingmaker Obama! Followed by uh oh, he might actually crown himself! Per Wilde, the Dems should be careful what they wish for…things could get a lot worse…
Replace Biden now? Who would want the job? Where we are headed, full speed ahead straight to the iceberg with no course correction possible, why not let Joe Biden get all the credit. Meanwhile there is a lot of positioning by others to avoid blame, and maybe be ready to take over afterwards. President or not, Obama is going to be a power player. So is Trump. Who else?
The problem is, the Dems probably need more than another empty suit at this point. They need someone who can really lead, not just read well from a teleprompter. Obama would be stepping into a true mess, which he didn't have to deal with before.
I do not believe Obama has the substance to be a power player in a true crisis. We've already seen what we get with an empty suit fronting for the Progs. More of that will only deepen the crisis and enrage the public.
To all those suggesting, along with Andrea Widburg, an Obama replacement "presidency", I say: Never say never, BUT ...
Don't forget that Obama was not a terribly popular president. His 2012 win was, as we now know, probably due to to domestic spying and ended up being a close thing anyway. Widburg says he's a smart politician, but he was ignored by the military in Syria (and probably elsewhere). Who thinks Obama is a match for Putin? Not me.
Also don't forget, the first step, Obama to the VP, would have to be approved by a 50-50 Senate--no tiebreaker vote present! I know what you'll say: Collins, Murkowski, Romney. But there are at least as many Dems in Red states facing tough reelection races. These shenanigans would likely enrage the voters who are already enraged at the failed faux presidency. Yes, Dems could try this, but don't think it'll be easy.
Then again, when was the last time we could say we were in normal times? Reagan? Bush1? Certainly not since.
To me, Kamala = Obama. Her Executive Branch would = his. She is a hollow officeholder, brain dead, just as Joe is. A perfect vessel for whatever Obama's handlers want her to do. Take a look at that video again and where direction Obama's attention is focused. The only question will be her VP and will the GOPe confirm that person. My bet is yes. (whoever it is).
It's remarkable that is was just a few years ago that at the hands of Obama and his radical, messianic agenda, The Democratic Party suffered huge* losses at literally every level of Government. That isn't an exaggeration: under Obama the DEMS lost 1,042 state and federal seats, including congressional and state legislative seats, governorships AND the presidency.
The reality is Obama and his henchmen were SOUNDLY rejected; the only way they've gotten back in is through thoroughly corrupt activities.
If the DEMS attempt to resurrect either of the Obama's - including Big Mike - I don't see how they stand a chance. We're living through Obama's 3rd term right now, and it's so radical they've lost vast numbers of Hispanic, Black, Asian demographics, and spawned a grass-roots movement of 'Walk-Away' (from Democrats).
Good points. Rush use to say Obama was an empty suit and a media creation. The world has undergone tectonic geo political shifts since 24 February. The Global South which makes up the bulk of the world population are moving away from the West.
No doubt the Dems feel that Obama has the best chance of keeping their crimes of Covid origin, election 2020, etc under wraps. Not to mention finishing the Great Reset, which i now believe was inherent in Obama famous phrase " fundamental transformation of the US". Just didn't connect the dots in 2008..
You are correct to try and install Obama....or even Michelle.... (nothing is off the table with these lunatics) it would be difficult. Cause more damage to the already shredded fabric of our society
The problem is, the Dems probably need more than another empty suit at this point. They need someone who can really lead, not just read well from a teleprompter. Obama would be stepping into a true mess, which he didn't have to deal with before.
I forgot to thank Bluto Barr for this. Granted, he's not the only one responsible, but he was in a position to make a difference. Not just after the election, but for long months, even a year, before the election.
I read Widburg's article this a.m. and it caused me to review the 25th Amendment. For Obama to assume the VP slot after Harris moving up to POTUS, he would have to approved by a majority in both houses of congress. While not ruling out the GOPe and RINOs coming to the rescue, this puts the donkeys on a very short timeline with the mid-terms approaching with the very likely loss of both houses of congress.
I think that is "their" plan as well. Likely always has been. Agree, I am not sure how they would do that. The clips of Obama were far more telling than Bidens reaction in my opinion. Notice how close and sycophantic Kamala was? Wonder what they have promised Jill Biden???
"The problem is, the Dems probably need more than another empty suit at this point. They need someone who can really lead, not just read well from a teleprompter. Obama would be stepping into a true mess, which he didn't have to deal with before.

If GOP rolls over, they may well kill the golden goose before it even gets to lay any eggs (as projected for 11/22). Widburg's scenario--and never say never--still seems to me too pat. Recall that the Progs were starting to criticize Obama before Trump, so changing course doesn't appear to be an option.
A name from history comes to mind . . . Spiro Agnew, history tends to repeat! The question is, what rationale will be used to "Agnew" Kamala?
Fact is Zhou's not in charge and never has been. Others behind the scenes have been pulling the strings.

If there is a change at the top, this is just one more thing not thought through well. If the current occupant is no longer in place, the proverbial curtain will be well and truly pulled back and the puppet masters exposed for all to see.
The game might just be to have a new election, with Michelle Obama running against Donald Trump.
Harris would be an even bigger disaster. But would they actually want to get them both out of office? To do what, install Nancy Pelosi? Not bloody likely. I'll go out on a limb and say that they may actually be considering decertifying the 2020 election and starting over.

Frequently discounted or disregarded truth: Things can ALWAYS get a lot worse, and in America the downside is huge.
Replace Biden now? Who would want the job? Where we are headed, full speed ahead straight to the iceberg with no course correction possible, why not let Joe Biden get all the credit. Meanwhile there is a lot of positioning by others to avoid blame, and maybe be ready to take over afterwards. President or not, Obama is going to be a power player. So is Trump. Who else?

Yes, he would. They really don't have anyone. Certainly not the Squad, Beto, or Pete B, Stacy Abrahms etc etc

See Andrea Widburg's article today at American Thinker.
Andrea Widburg at American Thinker has an article out today espousing just this theory. She admits that it sounds a bit far fetched - but so have a lot of things over the last two years! Here’s a link to her article: https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2022/04/proof_has_emerged_from_the_white_house_that_bidens_presidency_is_over.html
wow, no kidding, 'uncomfortable'
I think that is "their" plan as well. Likely always has been. Agree, I am not sure how they would do that. The clips of Obama were far more telling than Bidens reaction in my opinion. Notice how close and sycophantic Kamala was? Wonder what they have promised Jill Biden???
Only one thing matters. Money. Lots of money.
As I commented:
"The problem is, the Dems probably need more than another empty suit at this point. They need someone who can really lead, not just read well from a teleprompter. Obama would be stepping into a true mess, which he didn't have to deal with before.
"I do not believe Obama has the substance to be a power player in a true crisis. We've already seen what we get with an empty suit fronting for the Progs. More of that will only deepen the crisis and enrage the public."
If GOP rolls over, they may well kill the golden goose before it even gets to lay any eggs (as projected for 11/22). Widburg's scenario--and never say never--still seems to me too pat. Recall that the Progs were starting to criticize Obama before Trump, so changing course doesn't appear to be an option.
They may have boxed themselves in--damned if they do, damned if they don't.
