Rand Paul becomes the first to call for Elon Musk to replace Mike Johnson as Speaker. Which, if you listened to my podcast Uncovered yesterday, you already knew was going to happen before it just happened.

Second in line to the presidency?

That would have Donald and JD both looking over their shoulders,

Like the world's richest man has nothing better to do with his time.

And no presidency for Leon, as he is African.

Under the Constitution.

I mean, assassination is against the law, too.

I mean, assassination is against the law, too. "Is mass murder too?" Said all the school shooters. "If we had only known."

#2 Zed Per Constitution Musk can't be President as he's a Naturalized Citizen, not American by birth.

Musk is currently the president of the United States of America.

Trump is his hand puppet.

Also. Why would Musk want to be speaker of the house when he already controls the Republican Party?

We'll know for sure the first time he takes AF2 for a spin.

I'm hoping US Senator's neighbor comes to our rescue again!

"Nothing would disrupt the swamp more than electing Elon Musk . . . think about it . . . nothing's impossible. (not to mention the joy at seeing the collective establishment, aka uniparty,' lose their ever-lovin' minds)."

So it's actually about "owning the libs".

Apparently Maga would happily turn this country into an oligarchy just to own the libs.

Apparently.
