The fifth?

[vladi]

So far 4 US presidents have been assassinated in office. What chances that DJT is the fifth?

Ladbrokes have it at 9/4 that he will not make it to the end of his term. 9/4 seems good odds considering his bizarre behaviour.

In a fantasy world , Musk will shoot Trump in Texas whilst testing a new hyper velocity rifle, and the bullet will move so fast it will hit Vance seconds after. 

Texas still has the death penalty, especially for presidential assassins! 

I wonder what odds Ladbrooks give on that 🤔

Vance seems to be  as bad as Trump.

If Trump is assassinated, wouldn't Vance just step up to be president? Or doesn't it work like that?

Yes, he would become President.  Lyndon Johnson, VP became President after the assassination of John Kennedy.  Harry Truman, VP became President after the death in office of Franklin Roosevelt.  Andrew Johnson, VP became President after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

So unless Spartacus' fantasy world comes about (chance would be a fine thing) we are all still f***ed 😭

Why stop with Trump and his dogs Vance, Kash, Kennedy, Bondi, etc?

May as well take out his employer Vlad, too🙄

A fair amount hangs on SCOTUS in the coming days. Will they prop up Trump's powers under Executive Orders or choose to support Congress? Some of the Judges are clearly corrupt but perhaps others, like Coney Barrett, will grow a conscience.

Yes, time to drain the swamp that is the White House.
