    Now I don't know for sure if Trump is obligated to choose him if Pence quits or goes to jail.

    Hell man, CRACKED News was able to dismantle the Uranium One conspiricy theory.


    CRACKED. CRACKED! You don't go to CRACKED for in depth journalism, I mean, you can but it would be weird.
    It's just such bullcrap that comedy channels are laughing at the stupidity.
    CRACKED's news show is cool though, I recommend it. If only for a laugh, with a side of crippling depression.

    It'd be a wild ride if this all lead to Pence going down, but not Trump. How would that work? Is there some successor to VP if something happens?
    This just keeps getting better and better. Hopefully “Mother” will console Pence during these rough times.

    Yep.

    More oversight and enforcement is exactly what should be happening. No matter who it bangs up.

    How small a part does George the Canary play in the whole scheme?

    I guess we will know soon.

    My girlfriend just sent me this.



    Also, don't check out Fox News.

If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.

    I read that literally everyone was caught with their pants down today, probably the reason for these inane statements.
    They don't know what to do, and whose going to be next.

    Look up what happened when Spiro Agnew resigned in disgrace.

    Short version: there is a vice-presidential vacancy provision of the 25th Amendment. The president nominates a candidate, both the Senate and the House need to confirm him or her. It's not automatically the Speaker of the House as with Agnew's replacement - Trump could nominate anybody. Not sure where this Orrin Hatch idea is coming from.

    So is Trump a criminal or incompetent? He has to be one or the other....or both. Innocent is one thing he can't be.
