Whoever has this in their minds — there’s a reason for that.

You know how he periodically sends up the trial balloons about deserving a third term?

Even if by some skullduggery he won this year, he will be facing the same dilemma in four years time, so the only way to avoid the inevitable is to seize permanent control and/or hand off to Ivanka.

How are you going? We're still masking, santising, isolating and remaining Covid free.

I accepted my sister in law’s invite to come over for my birthday — just us two couples. For me it was a big deal, as up until then I kept wearing my mask with them, because their lives are so much more outer-directed than mine. It did me no end of good to have a social evening.

Woke up today with such a haze, smelling of smoke and ozone. We thought maybe one of the fires in Southern California (or a new one, God forbid) had turned our way, so finally checked the Air Quality website and found out that because the wind stopped overnight, the ozone and a fair amount of smoke had settled around us, and that it would move on in a day or so. So I took their advice and shut the house up, and since I kept coughing I took a puff on my inhaler and was fine the rest of the day.

Thanks for asking. My country has seemingly gone nuts, but you know that. Take good care of yourself.

9. It has to do with Trump resigning, Pence becomes POTUS, appoints Ivanka as VP and then resigns.

The fly in the ointment is that the President only nominates the VP in the case of a vacancy - they have to be confirmed by BOTH houses of Congress. This actually happened when Spiro Agnew resigned in 1973. Nixon nominated Gerald Ford and Ford was confirmed by the House and Senate. Then Ford became President when Nixon resigned. But Ford was a compromise candidate who had some bipartisan appeal. That would not be true of Ivanka. She is a divisive figure and you can be sure a majority of the House would never vote for her. This was all proposed by someone who does not understand our system of filling VP vacancies.

STILL aren't wearing masks of social distancing.

Trump has essentially launched a decapitation strike against his own executive branch. We could end up with a situation where he is dead and the rest of the White House is too sick to do anything.

...or maybe that's from Adderol withdrawal.

At any rate, he can "appoint" Ivanka all he wants, it simply doesn't work that way, and it's grounds for removing anybody who goes along with it.

“How could her daddy let her marry that Jew?”

As far as her daddy goes, I’ve known she was the Crown Princess to his Mad King since the early days. That family is so sick.

Maybe it's because I am aware of her character that I find her so repulsive, but I do not think she is a beautiful woman.

She is a joke, and completely false.

...all so she could look just as he wanted, sexually attractive to his tastes, fondled in public, suggestively posed with him in the penthouse for magazine articles. Boasted about by daddy on Howard Stern’s radio show. And as an adult, used as his “closer” for his deals: lunch with Ivanka.

You and I see all this and we gag. That is one sick family.

But around the country, in red states where the Trumps are admired, Ivanka is a star, an idealized beauty with a lifestyle to match. A couple of years ago, plastic surgeons in such places reported an uptick in women coming in with a desire to be made to look like Ivanka — no mean feat considering she’s had her whole face altered with implants. The nose job and boob job that go along with it are prosaic by comparison. — The mind reels.
