Hmmm


Recommended Posts

Here’s a very scary thought:

 

I had to take my vehicle to the mechanic the other day for service. The Service Manager, Pete, gave me a ride home and on the way he told me his theory about the upcoming election and the next four years of U.S. government. At first I thought it a bit far fetched. But as I listened to him it began to make sense, scary sense.

 

“I believe that Hillary Clinton will win the election in November,” Pete began. “Then, sometime between November and January, Hillary will be indicted. The IRS is now investigating the Clinton Foundation and the whole e-mail thing isn’t over yet. Once under indictment she won’t be able to assume the Office of the President in January. Tim Kaine, who will not actually be the Vice President because neither he nor Hillary have been inaugurated, cannot assume the Presidency. The Speaker of the House can’t move up to it because there is already a sitting President and Vice President. So President Obama, in an Executive Order citing 'emergency situation,' gives himself another four years in office is the only way possible.”

 

Pete believes Obama has been planning this for a while now, knowing he has enough on Hillary to indict her. Had the Attorney General indicted her based on evidence from the FBI, the plan wouldn’t have worked because the DNC would have quickly come up with another candidate.

 

If you think about it, it’s not that outrageous. Many people on the left, including the President, want Obama to stay another four years. The law prohibits him from being re-elected so the only 2 ways he can do it is either by declaring martial law and suspending the election (which would be a very negative thing for the country) or to declare himself still President because the elected candidate cannot assume her duties.

 

The latter makes more sense and is actually more feasible. And since it’s never been done before, it would set a precedent that would be difficult to challenge.

 

Of course, if Trump wins the election none of this is going to happen. But what if Pete is correct? Four more years of Obama and a mostly useless Republican House and Senate would give Obama the time he needs to continue destroying the country to fit his stated goals.

 

I thanked Pete for the ride home – and for messing up my day. Now I’ve got more things to worry about!

I don't think anything is going to happen to Hillary.  If the DOJ has already cleared her of the disaster she just went through....the IRS will too.  Corrupt to the core.  HOWEVER....should the law become relevant again, Hillary being indicted and unable to take office would be fantastic!  Sure..Obama might stay for a bit (not necessary..the Speaker of the House could preside) and a special election would be called.  Obama "giving" himself another term is not an option...of course...I guess I am not sure how things work with this administrations anymore.  Anything seems to go now.  I'm sure if that happens the media will smooth it all over for everyone.

The question I have is why is the law such that the president of the US can't do more than 8 years? If you have a situation where you have an outstanding president, doing a fantastic job, the people believe this is the best person for the job, why do you have to settle for second best and essentially chose one of two people who may be know where near as qualified and do anywhere near as good a job?

It seems right now you have a choice between evil #1 or evil #2.

Alexander Hamilton argued this too.  If a leader is doing a good job and approved by the people, then, a lifetime in that role may be better than changing the heads every so often.  His views were still based deeply inside the monarch of England.  He wasn't wrong...it can and does work.  But it's not perfect.

Flip side..and what our founders went with, the "changing of the guard" brings new life and new ideas to the greater of the people.  And they were right.  We are not only the youngest of the modern nations but also the most successful and powerful (well..a bit less than we were now).

Our problem is that our "vetting" process for good candidates has become nothing more than smear campaigns that few in their right mind want to venture into now.  Our media is HORRENDOUS in their biases.  And the freedom of choice and thus, the freedom of a solid democracy (as we have) is no longer a reality.

Don't think so?  Look at our two choices now.  And then look at who dropped out that were not given a fair hand by the media.  We has some solid leaders and good contenders on both sides of the fence that just plain said "fuck it".  And now we have what we have...and the liberal media clearly favors Hillary, so.....ughhhhhhh.  :flush:

:bc:
