You've GOT To Be Kidding

J.D. Vance, who has only been in the U.S. Senate since January 3, 2023, is the most qualified person in the nation to succeed Donald J. Trump should something happen to Trump?

Are you f---ing kidding?

You can't even compile a decent Rolodex of people in the know in Washington DC in a year and a half. Let alone establish solid discreet lines of communication with them.

Vance lacks the experience, the contacts, and knowledge of where the bodies lie. His pre-Senate career is undistinguished. By no remote stretch of the rational imagination is he qualified.

Can Vance give a good speech? Who cares!?! If he's not qualified to be President, and while technically he is since Vance is a Natural-Born US Citizen age 35 or older (he turns 40 on August 2nd) who has lived in the US for at least fourteen years, speeches don't matter. It would be like Biden II, the frontman being a vassal for those behind the scenes with the real power.

I had hoped it would have been Bobby. Trump-Kennedy, 2025-2029; Kennedy-Ramaswamy 2029-2037, and Ramaswamy -___________ 2037-2045. That would have bought us 20 years. A good start toward reversing centuries of tyranny. And it would have given more solid hope that Trump is the real deal, rather than a counterfeit like Obama.

I could have accepted Vivek Ramaswamy as Trump's Veep. While Vivek has never held political office, he's damn smart, more importantly fast on his feet and a quick learner.

I happily voted for Cynthia McKinney in 2008, and Roseanne Barr/Cindy Sheehan in 2012. (S)elections where there wasn't a rat's rectum of difference between the DemocRAT and the RepubliCON (Obama-McCain, Obama-Romney).

Bobby 2024? It's a little early for that to be my Final Answer, but there are far too many gaping holes in The Narrative, especially after Saturday's carefully choreographed performance.

If you haven't been downloading the free Kindle "Prepping" eBooks, this is your latest wake-up call.

You may ask, why vote at all? As I observed in a 2012 essay, "Presidential (S)election 2012":

So why vote if the fight is fixed? To show Resistance. To show that you have an IQ exceeding your age. To demonstrate that you're on to their game, and you're not gonna play it no more. To, like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, take a stand against the forces of darkness.

Expect an overabundance of fearmongering, for the rest of 2024 and beyond. But as I commented in a 2010 essay, “Vote”:

[S]top voting for the lesser of evils, because you always end up supporting evil. Stop "choosing" between Hitler and Mussolini, because either way you get the same thing. The game is rigged, the cards are marked. As I often say, "When you don't like the way the game is going, change the rules".
