And your expectation is based on?

* the demise of DJT
* the demise of JD Vance

Or do expect either of those to step down? (In fact if DJT would be unable to be president Vance owuld become president and I offer you a quota to 1:10 that he will have a new vice-president within 24 hours, same for DJT in the reverse case).

Sir, sorry for the late reply, and you have raised a good point. Hmm.

Well, it was really more of a late-night scattershot intuition. Now let's see if I can scramble to come up with something reasonable to support it.

The "demises" could be either mortal or political. No idea how the Trump show will end.

I imagine it could end with a plea bargain instead of hanging or electrocution or a firing squad. Maybe Trump's former pal Putin will send Trump a specially prepared bottle of Diet Coke as a means of escape, just in case.

As for JD Vance, even despite his slanted and false presentation of self, somehow he has managed to stay relatively squeaky-clean in public otherwise; however, I think we all know or at least suspect that with Trump, some amount of dirt re: this or that person provides the foundation for their unshakable loyalty to The Boss.

And sorry to be a petty gossip and speculator -- which I think is fair in the case of American politicians with so much power over so many other people, directly or indirectly -- but I wonder what Trump and Mike Johnson both know about Vance as well as the Cabinet members, and I imagine that Johnson is closer to squeaky-clean than many other politicians.

But hey, Nostradamus purportedly huffed mystic fumes before writing his prognostications [however, another version of the story surmises that his Almanacs were the result of a centuries-earlier precursor to William Burroughs' "cut-up" method], but as for me, I was only drinking light beer at the time of my prophecy. 😉

Yeah even if all that happened and Trump AND Vance were somehow out of the picture, being offed or impeached good old Mikey would not be much better but he would have to be better than those two traitors of the US. Vance is even more right wing than Trump if you can imagine that. He wrote the forward to Vought's book about Project 2025 which Trump at least SAYS he doesn't agree with all of project 2025 but Vance is in with both feet, SCREW every aspect of the former US with that 900 page scree, their manifest.
Literally the biggest threat to the US since the civil war.

I guess all in all Mikey would be the lesser of the three evils though.
He really wants to make Christianity the state religion, he is a dyed in the wool Christian Nationalist. but only HIS definition of Christianity, those totally false Christianity faiths are the work of the devil, whatever faction he is in, I don't know exactly which one he subscribes to but for sure Catholics would be out of the picture and Angelicals and Lutherans and Evangelicals would all be heretical.
