January 2023. Gotta get Shamala her 10 years in office.
I suspect that the plan is not any more complicated than running Biden as the frontman till he no longer works for whatever reason, then do the change. I also highly suspect that they will pick a radical woman as VP because the Revolution likes the optics. Men must learn their place in the new order.
Biden's brain: Is it soup yet?

Guille Thanks this post.
Biden will get the axe in a matter of months. I would say four to five months is all he has left as POTUS.

Given the Dems have no moral compass it is not possible to rationalise their behaviour. I just find it good they are revealing all their nasty bits and thats without any help from Mr Trump. Just let them be - let the Dems carry on volunteering their hate and contempt for the rule of law.
Super. but to this point the American people have done very poorly at understanding what is going on, or being willing to step up to dealing with the extensive abuse from the Left.

You are failing. It isn't "the left" that is the problem, it's the establishment.
AKA "The Failed Intelligentsia" and "The Failed Elite Class".
You prove to pay very poor attention.

OK. Let me ask you a question. You're going to think it's not relevant but I assure you it is. Are the actions of Facebook in late 2020 due to "the left?"
Guille, dude (!) you need to understand that the American Ruling Class elites ("Big Tech" billionaires like Jack Dorsey, Mark Zuckerberg, the CEOs of Big Finance and the maintream mass medisBig Business, Wall Street bosses and the big corporate enterprises") are partners in a COALITION with the Democratic Party's leadership. At present, the Congressional Democratic Party is being run by the "progressive"faction. "Progressive" is just a euphemism for "socialist", and in this case it is an extreme, radical brand of neo-socialism we're talking about.
This coalition is a good example of what biologists call "mutualism." Mutualism is a relationship between two species in which each species has a net benefit. Or, if you like, its a a "you scratch my back - I'll scratch yours" type deal. For example Jack Dorsey, Mark Zuckerberg and Tim Cook want to preserve the VAST monopoly power of their "Big Tech" companies. The massive power they currently have was acquired, in large part, as a result of Section 230 of "The Communications Decency Act (1996)". To cut a long story very short , Section 230 includes a provision which states that, so long as platforms (like Twitter, Face Book, Google, Amazon, etc) act in "good faith", they can remove content that is offensive or otherwise objectionable. The problem is that they steady gained more power, they increasingly abused this trust and have - amongst many other things they shouls not be doing - engaged in partisan political censorship. (The famous old dictum: "Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely" is yet again confirmed
In 2020, for example, you will recall that these platforms, in particular, "Twitter," censored content from conservative users, censored any new reports critical of Joe Biden, banned Predident Trump from the platform and so on. Trump took aggressive steps in 2020 to rescind Section 230, but unfortunately the 2020 election was stolen from him, and the new Biden administration will almost certainly bury the issue.
So ,using Section 230 as an example, the way the mutualistic coalition between the Ruling Class elites, in this case the billionaire CEO's of "Big Tech", and the Democrat administration works is that, "Big Tech" says to the Democrat power-brokers, look we'll donate "X" ( where "X" is some big number) million dollars to you, if you keep "Section 230" of the table in Congress for us. Can we cut a deal ? The answer is ""Yes, I sure we can come to some discreet and mutually satisfactory arangement."
In short, the Democrats do legislative, and other political favours for the Ruling Class, and the Ruling Class, in return throw lots of "the filthy lucre" at them to express their gratitude.
That's a very simplistic sketch of what actually happens in real life, but I'm sure you get the general idea. Right ?

I believe you are correct.

Biden's likely to keel over dead before the end of his term. The Presidency is an extremely stressful job for anyone holding it. He's not in the greatest physical condition and certainly his mental facilities are fading fast. This I think is the most likely outcome here.
Seems plausible.
How would she have been a VP?
She began planning the move last October.
Speaker backs Raskin bill to set up nonpartisan commission to determine a president’s fitness, says it’s not about Trump

The United States presidential line of succession is the order in which officials of the United States federal government assume the powers and duties of the office of president of the United States if the incumbent president becomes incapacitated, dies, resigns, or is removed from office.
The 25th Amendment, Section 1, clarifies Article II, Section 1, Clause 6, by stating unequivocally that the vice president is the direct successor of the president, and becomes president if the incumbent dies, resigns or is removed from office. It also, in sections 3 and 4, provides for situations where the president is temporarily disabled, such as if the president has a surgical procedure or becomes mentally unfit, establishing procedures whereby the vice president can become acting president. Additionally, in Section 2, the amendment provides a mechanism for intra-term vice presidential succession, establishing that a vice presidential vacancy will be filled by a president's nominee upon confirmation by a majority vote of both houses of Congress. Previously, whenever a vice president had succeeded to the presidency or had died or resigned from office, the vice presidency remained vacant until the next presidential and vice presidential terms began; there were 16 such vacancies prior to 1967.

None of that provides a path for the Speaker to become VP.
God damn, you're stupid.
