    That's a setup/entrapment. Can't answer that without risking a violation of outing rules.

    It's my fault. I dared mock his hero. I denounce myself.

    I just don't trust the guy (Trump), or believe a thing he says. Birtherism, Cruz's dad and Oswald, inaugural attendance, Fredrick Douglas, and (even though it was Kellyanne) Bowling Green - for starters.

    And on top of anything else, I don't know what we can do. Economic sanctions? We're not trading with them now, are we? Military options? No, not even Trump is that crazy? Maybe we should consult with out boots on the ground in North Korea, Dennis Rodman?

    It's been about five weeks, I believe, that he gave an in-depth interview, not to be confused with a few words at a photo op.

    Not possible. Constitution prevents it.

    Where?

    The 25th Amendment says that if president dies or resigns, vice president becomes president. If VP is vacant, the president appoints someone (like Ford did with Rockefeller), but it needs confirmation by the House and Senate.

    I believe the constitution would allow the scenario in that thing. But realistically, Congress would never confirm Trump for VP in the first place, so it is silly.

    Surely y'all are not suggesting a Facebook meme is factually inaccurate.

    Just a note that today is finally election day in Ga.-6. It's a very close race, meaning bad hot takes will be the winner in a landslide no matter what happens. My point, however, is that both Great Britain and France managed to hold national elections in less time than one congressional by-election in our country. In France's case, this included presidential primaries, a two-round presidential election and then a two-round legislative election. Perhaps American apathy towards politics is kind of like apathy towards the NBA and NHL. Our regular season is too long.
