    The Speakership is a real job, as in, it requires A LOT of work. You can’t just give a press conference, watch yourself on TV, and sign executive orders.

    With that in mind, I also support Trump for Speaker of the House. It’ll be fucking hilarious at how ungodly terrible it will go. I give him 1 week before he makes up a story about how CIA DNC FBI deep state is trying to kill him, so he has to flee to Mara Lago.

      If Trump gets speaker of the house some morons will try to assassinate the president and vice president to make him regain the presidency.

        You mean the same people who live streamed themselves storming the capital on January 6th?

        Don’t threaten me with a good time, because as funny as a Trump speakership would be, watching morbidly obese morons trying, and failing, to assassinate the President might even be funnier.

          I dunno, a Castro fanboy made a damn good drive at it, and same with several other mentally ill people. I understand it is MUCH HARDER now, but do not discount some of these militia types and other far-right people - there’s been plenty of groups that have tried to plan assassinations of political figures of one stripe or another for the last 30 years, and I’m sure it ramped up quite a bit when Biden won the election in 2020.
