Those are definitely the infinitely more likely ones, yeah. Especially considering that as I understand it from other discussions on the various Speakership fights, the Speaker of the House does not even need to be Member of the House of Representatives.

I'm of course just talking about the one that holds a special place in my heart because it makes me laugh at how utterly deranged these fuckers are. Especially because you just know that even knowing that the two you mentioned are infinitely more likely, Trump probably himself wants to do the one I was talking about more because it erases his loss and massages his ego.

But yes, you are correct that the ones where they cheat him into office using the succession rules are far more likely to be the fix if he doesn't manage to suspend elections entirely.

All fair enough. It would be extremely himself how stupid and deranged these people are if they weren't doing everything they could, and succeeding, in running people's lives, including my own. I didn't mean to be harsh on you is that's how it came across

Nah you're good, I didn't think you were coming at me with any of that. It is admittedly not as funny as it would be without all of -gestures vaguely at everything- THIS shit going on right now. I was just trying to get some joy where I can find it within the horrors y'know? Gotta keep from burning out somehow right?
