The Vietnam leg has sparked criticism, with some accusing Harris of being tone-deaf for visiting the communist country as U.S. forces struggle to evacuate Americans, other foreigners and Afghan allies from Kabul airport.

The crisis mirrors the trauma of 1975 Saigon, when U.S. helicopters ferried final evacuees from the embassy roof, as Viet Cong troops advanced.

Despite the building human tragedy, Harris is yet to make any direct comment on events as they unfold.

Interesting development. Trump drew 40,000 yesterday in Alabama.

Pure fantasy and it won't happen but...


I wonder what would happen if the GOP swept all of Congress next year, impeached and removed both Biden and Harris and then confirmed Trump as President.

How loud would the gnashing of teeth and public outcries against it be?

They'd have to make him Speaker first, right?

My only point in mentioning the 40,000 was to show the sustainability of his popularity. There is no Democrat who can do the same right now.

I bet they would all have a sit-down and celebrate sweeping out the Democrats n reinstating Trump.....be a hell of a celebration, with much carbon based water consumed by all!!!!

Actually, I don't think so. I'm not positive on how it all works but from what I understand the order of succession only applies if the President isn't able to execute the duties of office.

If Biden resigns, Harris becomes Prez under the succession. She gets to pick her VP who gets confirmed by the SENATE not the House. Her pick doesn't have to be the Speaker who would be next in line under the order of succession followed by the President Pro Tem of the Senate.

So, it might be possible that if there is no President and VP during a national/world crisis, and there's no one else in the order of succession, the Senate will pick and confirm whomever they want as Prez and VP.

Which would initiate a huge fight if they chose Trump to take over even though selecting a former President to lead would be a smart thing in a world gone nutso.

"What's not to understand? It's just 2 molecules of a volatile carbon based organic bonded with an oxydizer and maintained at a temperature which keeps it in a liquid state.

Or don't you know that?"

I was thinking of a scenario where a new Republican House voted to make Trump the Speaker, thus putting him in the line of succession before the impeachment of both the President and his Vice President, the success of which would put him in the WH and able to pick a VP of his own. All quite legal, but improbable.

The House in the past has selected a President outside of the electoral college without needing to make him Speaker first.

If one’s removed from office, the other gets to name a new VP. Both can’t be removed by the Senate simultaneously.

Probably true...Democrats are smart enough to know how dangerous it is to form a crowd that size right now. And you forgot the part where those 40,000 booed Trump when he said they should get vaccinated.
 
Likely Havana syndrome case delays Harris trip to Vietnam

SINGAPORE (AP) — U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris’ trip from Singapore to Vietnam was delayed several hours Tuesday by a “recent possible anomalous health incident,” the U.S. Embassy in Hanoi said.

The U.S. government uses that phrase to describe what’s known as “Havana syndrome,” a rash of mysterious health incidents first reported by American diplomats and other government employees in Havana, Cuba, beginning in 2016 and 2017.

Winning over 2/3 of the senate and winning the house is quite a reach.

Obama could do it. Bill Clinton could do it. Probably even Jimmy Carter could do it.
 
I see no actual reason why Harris shouldn't be visiting Vietnam at this time.

It's the triple whammy! She has 1) dark skin, 2) a vagina, and 3) a (D) after her name. Ergo, everything she ever does - or doesn't do, for that matter - is wrong, wrong, wrong.

Truth is, she probably scares the hell out of the right. That's why they're trying so hard to find something to tear her down with.

She will probably be president in 2025 and they know it.
 
Kamala Harris has 'unprecedented' negative rating

America just doesn’t have a good “feeling” about Vice President*Kamala Harris.

Going back 28 years in NBC polling, no other new vice president has been welcomed so coldly by Americans as the Democrat and first woman in the job.

In the latest survey, pollster Bill McInturff pointed out her low positive rating, at 37%, and tweeted this morning, “VP Harris has lowest feeling thermometer of any first year VP going back to Gore in 1993 with an unprecedented ‘very negative’ rating on @NBCNews survey tracking.”

She also has the largest “total positive” versus “total negative” gap at negative 9 points. For comparison, Cheney’s gap was a positive 23 points.
