niblick1874 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Tall enough to be a target. I fear for his life. Tomorow is one of the most historic moments there has been, Here is hoping it is for the right reasns. If they go for him they wont care who get's in the way. I would rather tomorrow was over and nothing untoward had happened. I would feel better if all the people that should be there were going. Tomorrow has the potential to be a nightmare.

If he's anything based on his campaign. Bye, bye free trade and economic growth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboX2 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) What happens if an unfortunate accident takes care of Trump and Pence? Good question. My assumption was based on them being shot after being sworn in. As the cabinet isn't yet finalised I'd imagine the House Speaker would assume the Presidency. So it'd be President Ryan.

Bauld Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Trump could be the best thing that ever happened to America. He won't be allowed though.

Most of his polices I can't abide but polices mean nothing when everything is corrupt. The two things he says he has to do or there is no point in doing anything is drain the swamp (get rid of the rampant corruption) and Americanism not Globalism will be our credo. These are the two things, more than anything else, that got him elected. Unless you believe some on here, the MSM, and the globalists that will have you believe that it was the Russians.

I'm not very sure at what point an election is called. Probably all just a moot point. While VPs have become presidents (or acting presidents), in pretty sure there has never been a situation with both the President and VP out of action.

Draining the swamp was indeed a popular during his campaign. Shame for those who believed him (and everyone else) that he pretty rapidly went about filling up the swamp, instead!

Watt-Zeefuik Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Struggling with some kind of change to JKB on quoting. Or maybe it's my browser. Anyway.... Line of succession is President, VP, Speaker of the House (Ryan), President Pro Tempre of the Senate (largely a ceremonial position, held by Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch), then down the cabinet Secretaries in the order that they are declared in the Constitution and subsequent amendments. No special election held. As such, the line of succession is a continuous line of extremely conservative politicians at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draining the swamp by appointing guys like Rex Tillerson, Scott Pruitt, Steven Mnuchin, Linda McMahon, Andrew Prudzer and Rick Perry... aye going well. Add to that Bannon and Preince. Great to see the plug has been pulled. Do you also believe him on his 5 year lobbying ban? I suppose putting placemen in office means you don't need lobbying.

Watt-Zeefuik Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) it may be a swamp but it isn't the same swamp No, it's very much the same swamp, it's just the hard right wing of the swamp. VP Pence is a classic hard line social conservative, in the mold of Jesse Helms or Rick Santorum or John Ashcroft. Secretary of State nominee Rex Tillerson is an oil executive just like GWB and Cheney were before their administration. Attorney General nominee Jeff Sessions was nominated to be a federal judge by Reagan, prompting MLK's widow, Coretta Scott King, to write a letter to Congress opposing him because he was pretty clearly a white supremacist. Secretary of Energy nominee Rick Perry was Governor of Texas immediately following GW Bush, and inherited and continued the political machine that sustained Bush in Texas. Environmental Protection Agency head nominee Scott Pruitt was the Attorney General for the state of Oklahoma who filed multiple lawsuits against the EPA on behalf of the oil industry. Treasury nominee Mnuchin was a partner at Goldman Sachs. I could go on. The kinds of policies these folks will pursue are pretty clearly very similar to those that the Bush 43 administration pursued, just more socially conservative, pro-corporate, pro-oil, pro-Wall Street, and with less regard for minority civil rights. Which, you know, they won the election, so they're legally allowed to do that. So I guess it's a different "swamp" than the Obama administration, but at the Cabinet level, it's hardly some wholly new kind of swamp from previous Republican administrations. It's just a very hard veer to the right. Edited January 20, 2017 by Ugly American Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
