Jim Rickards isn’t the only person saying this, but his two tweets (I conflated them) put it pithily: Jim Rickards @JamesGRickards Looks like we've found the smoking gun on the Biden crime family. Looks like Biden knows it too. FBI file shows foreigner paid Biden in ‘criminal scheme’ to trade money for policy
Between demographics and vote fraud the GOP's position in national elections is unsalvageable. So it's whoever the inner party picks. Will that be Brandon or Michelle? I don't know but don't count Brandon out. The GOP can't remove him by impeachment, I wouldn't bet on them trying, and DOJ isn't going to indict a sitting President, especially one who isn't a Republican.
With the deteriorating situation overseas, there may be people in the NatSec establishment who have buyer's regret, but they're morally bankrupted from having helped install him and can't remove him in favor of a Republican without raising the prospect of a possible investigation into their various anti-Trump shenanigans. If the inner party decides that Biden is a useful enough figurehead, they'll go along.
Until the GOP fights the Election Fraud Issues, I see VERY little chance of another GOP President.
My gut feeling is the GOP is happy with the scraps it gets, and does not want to cause PROBLEMS. The same strategy the CA GOP used, and look where they are now - no longer a relevant political player in CA Politics.
Good article, very depressing, but that feels accurate:
Savor Trump’s Electoral Landslide -- Until the Phantoms Vote
If this is true, she's going to be the next President. It'll be Barry's 4th term. The results of the last election assure it. I don't believe all the Dominion crap. CTH had a piece not too long ago about "Envelopes". It's all about the envelopes - how many there are and who counts the most. The Democrat party is miles ahead of the money hungry RNC in this respect. They've completed the corruption of our voting system and will use it to their advantage until stopped.
…I thought regime change was in the works on the Moskva, not the Potomac! Funny how both Zel and Zhou are on “thin ice” at the same time…what immeasurable pain and suffering these two have caused their respective countries…
Is it for Michelle? No, I just don't see her giving up her new life as a multi millionaire celebrity. This is what made Trump such an incredible story, everything he gave up. Obama's are too selfish.
It will be someone else, maybe Newsome, but I still have my eye on Susan Rice. There will be no debate, who cares about polls, just run the Katie Hobbs campaign and collect those ballots.
Interesting to me is in your conclusion framing what is the 'state of our dis-union': "Do the Dems really believe 2016 was the last election that didn’t go according to their script? Do they really believe that presidential elections are like grand juries and indictments? Are they right? If they are right that will mean that four disastrous years—war, economy, culture, constitutional collapse, you name it—make no difference."
I'd submit this "belief" emanates from the 2009-2017 years & Obama's success at, [as the not-so notable publication's headline]: 'we are all socialists now' connotates conversion/destruction of that Constitution you reference as collapsed. That undesirable interruption of President Trump aside...
I agree, BTW, that the foundation of this Country in the Declaration of Independence and said Constitution has significantly been undermined, if not yet collapsed. {Sadly I agree, I'll add}.
While much foundation of this demise goes back decades, the success of Obama's terrorist reign is seen across many fronts, from this debacle in the Ukraine but also in more common, basic and 'taken for granted' life-functions such as our medical care system. Now it's a Corporate-Medical provision system known as 'Obamacare' (no thanks to Arizona Republican John McCain). I live in a pretty 'Red' state: but of 5 doctor appointments I've had this year, one - ONE - was with an actual PhD Doctor. *PAs, NAs and clinical nurses are wonderfully intended care-givers. Yet I sit here now dedicated to finding 'Alternate-Care' providers due to the abject failures of these corporate medical-care operatives.
Sorry for the digression, but Mark, your list of Disasters (in 27 months thus far and including inflation likely exceeding the previous 10 years) includes a much broader array of failures and failing agencies and programs that once were World-renowned hallmarks. (How did we so rapidly forget universality of the socialist program failures...? Canadians were famous for seeking important medical care in the US as their waiting lists were kept shorter more by the passing away of listees rather than illness resolution. A model emulated by our very own VA system, I'd note).
And Biden got 81 million votes; there are now 15%+ Female homosexual/bi-sexual/(sorry, I forget the current politically correct term) when but a decade ago an approximately 3% number had been an historical fact; seemingly all things weird rule the news; and on, and on. I really must look for more positive news to dwell on, it appears.
I think my problem lays is exactly what you presented today - this bizarre set of current circumstances apparently make no difference. Not as long as the Social-Network internet feed continues into all those smart-phones that absorb the populace's attention... I do offer all my best regards (*while apologizing for sharing my negativity!). (WrH)

"is the fix in?" -yes!

We've been hearing "any time now" for a few years. Until somebody actually does something, there's no news.

Perhaps Zhou was just establishing a bargaining position when he said he'd 'run' again.
