Bill O'Reilly does radio shows and a daily podcast.
Earlier this week he made his predictions for
the November 8th mid-term elections. I don't
know if he is right or not but, for America's sake,
I hope he is.

House - Republic's win and gain a 12 to 15 seat
majority. Needless to say this would be wonderful news!
Finally an end to Nancy Pelosi's evil dishonest old butt
and a block on Biden's insane endless spending.

Senate - Republicans win and gain a two seat majority.
This would be great news for honest, working class
Americans and a safe guard against the far left wing
Democrat loons insane, destructive agenda.

White House - O'Reilly also predicts the Democrats will pressure
Biden to step down for "health reasons". They know
with his disastrous record on inflation, crime and an open
southern border combined with his clear mental decline
he will not win re-election in 2024.

I will wait to see the election results but I sincerely hope
O'Reilly is right about the House and Senate. I hope
he is wrong about Biden because I would love
to see old senile Joe get buried in the 2024 election.

Then start shooting us, because you're gonna have to at that point.

Because that agenda has millions of people reliant on it.

If this prediction is correct, Biden will be out of office by February 14, 2023. You will get President Kamala Harris, barring the one solution I believe the Republicans have to attempt to seize complete power. (which I will reiterate)

The only question is how. They won't get a 67 Senator conviction, of that I can be certain. (Although, to me, the "misdemeanor" of the complete loss of confidence of the American people, as evidenced by the election results, could well be sufficient grounds.)

I would think there's at least two operational brain cells (I know this might involve getting five or six Republicans together, but there you go) to realize you don't have two years. You may not even have the month and a half or so between apparent result and the new Congress seating.

Consider:

* Biden is still Commander in Chief, unless removed. That means nothing left to lose by accepting the Russian escalation in Ukraine and moving his chips to the center of the table. (BTW, Putin's strategy not to use tactical nuclear warfare at this point is predicated on a Republican victory in the Congress and a Donald Trump re-ascension between Thanksgiving 2022 and Easter 2023.)

And if you believe NATO/Biden/Zelensky/etc. will false-flag, Biden will have nothing to lose by seeing your asses nuked.

* You are not slowing down crime without shooting us. Please stop with the fantasies and the false threats. If you are froggy, Republicans, about your guns being your freedom, JUMP. You need me and millions like me dead now.

And here's the thing if you think I'm just bleating about it: You're now seeing some of the most MAGA counties actually encouraging people just to shoot robbers and the like to save the county and state money -- they know what I'm saying is true and the very beginnings of encouraging it are on the table.

* As far as inflation goes, take my last statement in the previous bullet point and redouble it. The only way you are reducing the money supply in this country (if you are one of those who believe that is causing inflation) and/or reducing the entitlement burdens (a major curb on the runaway Federal (and State) spending you speak of in your response) is to kill everyone and everything reliant on it. And that's businesses AND people.

The worst part of this is that you'd probably have to eliminate two generations' worth of Democrats (and I mean ELIMINATE, not concentrate and see what you can get out of them), gut and raze the inner cities and try to maintain the infrastructure so the "good, hard-working Americans" can get what they need, etc.

* You would almost quite literally have to take down the Statue of Liberty (You don't want the "tired and poor" born here!!!) and start shooting anybody trying to cross the border. This would mean an absolute closure of the Southern border, with lethal force to back it up.

I could go on, if you like.

My prediction:

R's win the House by at least 20.

New Speaker of the House: Donald Trump (see below).

R's win the Senate, and the majority is at least 53-47. Both Oz and Walker win.

Biden is forced out of the Presidency, one way or another, within 45 days of the new Congress. I could even see the likes of Greene trying to force a session of Congress to remove him pre-new Congress.

If it gets to Jan 3, 2023 and Biden is still in office: Congress then implements a binding resolution voiding the vote of the 12th Amendment reading of the certificates from two years' previous and adjourns sine die, ordering the Presidential Oath of Office to Trump. (This is why you name him Speaker -- at this point, it's not even JUST that he's the other candidate the MAGAs believe won, he ascends to the Presidency through vacancy of the office, enforced by Congress.)

Trump then declares martial law and "You loot, we shoot".

Biden sues into the Roberts Court and loses 5-4. Roberts is then removed from the Supreme Court, one way or the other.

If the Republicans attempt to allow Biden to fester for two years, new Speaker is someone like Greene or Boebert. No sane person believes McCarthy is MAGA enough to be in the Speaker's chair.

Bloomberg is reporting today, according to at least one right-wing rag, that the Pentagon is removing the limitation of using nuclear weapons against just nuclear powers.

I know you’re just shit posting and not really interested in conversation
but I’m going to say anyway that Dem losses on the scale you’re predicting
would be an amazingly good performance for a party in power in a first term
midterm. No one would push Biden out over it. Heck Obama, Reagan, Clinton,
Bush…they all won re-election pretty easily after significantly worse first
term mid-term performances.

The most likely scenario where Biden bows out is if the Dems do well in the
midterms and he gets a bunch of stuff pushed through in 2023 then he can
say “my work here is done and go out a winner.” He wouldn’t resign early
but in this scenario he might not run for re-election.

In your scenario he’d have a chip on his shoulder and something to prove so
he’d run again.

I disagree for at least two reasons:

1) It is clear from the rip that Biden was not "The Choice". He was the last man standing to face Trump.

2) How many state Republican platforms now do not recognize him as President? Simple majorities in both houses of Congress would be enough to realistically unseat him.

Which, as he said, is what he hopes.

If the Republicans take the House and Senate and you want to
call that an "amazingly good" victory for Democrats, fine.
I certainly don't care.

No one would push Biden out over it. Heck Obama, Reagan, Clinton,
> Bush…they all won re-election pretty easily after significantly worse first

Heck, Obama, Regan, Clinton and Bush weren't coming off the self-inflicted
disaster Biden has caused and they weren't in the state of mental
decline that Biden is in. In addition, nearly 80% of Americans believe
the country is headed in the wrong direction.

Well that is a scenario that is very unlikely to happen -
especially if Democrats lose the House and Senate.

You assume Biden is mentally aware enough to make his own decisions.
The sad fact is that Joe Biden just reads, or tries to read, the words
his handlers put on his teleprompter. Every time he goes "off-script" it is an
embarrassment for Democrats. That's why they try so hard to limit
his exposure and speeches.

If Biden's handlers tell him to step down for "health reasons"
odds are, old Joe will step down.

.... chief among it, the fact you might not HAVE two years.

And if half the shit you shitpost about Dems is correct, why wouldn't we just leave you a smoking fucking crater?

One of three things will happen if the Dems lose the Congress:

1) Biden is shot and killed, Kamala becomes President -- unless it's an inside job and both of them go, especially if Trump is named Speaker.

2) Biden actually resigns when the depth of the loss is known (which will be all but demanded), Kamala becomes President, the VP lays vacant for two years. (This only means the President pro tem of the Senate would have full presidency over the Senate for the two years.).

3) The Congress actually grows a set, nullifies the 2020 Presidential election, ascends Trump, and has martial law declared.

2) would be the most likely, 3) would probably be the most beneficial to idiots like you.

The problem is: If the Trump Cabinet could not remove him, why would the Biden Cabinet remove Biden?

The 25th is a farce at this point.

I can't imagine any scenario under which Biden will run again. I hear from many people on
the left and right who are convinced he'll run again. Even if you ignore his dementia, which
you shouldn't, he's an utter failure.

His only up-side is that his vice-president is so incredibly inept many would vote for him
to avoid her. But the Democrats have worked themselves in a corner. If they don't support
Harris, and nobody in the Democratic party does, for president they are both RACIST and
SEXIST. Bam.

I don't see how Biden or Harris could be near any Democratic ticket. Unless something
unheard of and historical occurs, no way are either of them in the WH. Then again, I
thought castrating little boys and allowing grown men to hang-out in girl's locker rooms
is something we'd all be against, but apparently it's a very important plank in the DNC.

It's getting so bad that some people are actually thinking Hillary at this point. Seriously.

I don't understand, at this point, short of the mathematical impossibility with the 50-50 Senate to replace her, why Harris hasn't been President for the last 18 months.

Just to piss you motherfuckers off, if for nothing else.

Biden already is, and I believe Harris will be shortly.

Unpossible. She's a election-denier and a LaRouchian spinner of conspiracy theories. It's my
understanding that the DNC does like such types.

I see no way Biden runs again. He is speaking a lot now as the election
nears, and he is showing he has no clue what he has done. He claimed that
gas was $5.00 a gallon when he took office. He repeated the old lie about
his football "career" at Delaware. He made other complete and utter lies.

He'll be ushered out. I predict Buttegeig, who would be a good candidate
for the Dems.

I can see Biden moving, or being moved, aside but what about Harris? If
she wants in that would get messy. We don't elect the 'most qualified'
anymore, we elect the whomever has 'got next.' Like the parliament system
without the benefit of a no-confidence vote.

Those currently in power insist on masking, but don’t wear masks. They claim the seas are rising
and build mansions on the shore. They abhor the expenditure of fossil fuels and fly exclusively in
private jets. And all the while half of the country will not name the disease. Why?

Because the cost of challenging this oppressive orthodoxy has, for them, become too high. Upon a
possible awakening, they—or more likely their children—might say that the country was occupied.
And they would be right.

I see no way Biden finishes his term. Of course, I didn't think he'd make it six months in the first place.

The next President of the United States of America will either be Kamala Harris or Donald Trump, and it will take place either in the lame duck after the Dems get rolled, or early in the new Congress. The former would ensure Harris, the latter would lean Trump.

The only reason he's not gone is that Harris could not appoint and get a replacement through a 50-50 Senate with no tiebreaker and two possible turncoats.

What would be messy about it? Biden resigns or is 25th (although "resigns" probably would be forced here), and Harris is the next person in line, unless Congress decides to remove them both by stating they no longer recognize the result of the 2020 Presidential election -- which, if it gets through the Supreme Court at that point, would mean we have a meaningful parliamentary system, because any President can realistically be removed if the midterms go sideways.

Because, David, you cannot afford (if you are a person most people see as "productive") to even have a run-in with the police.

I don't think Republicans care about the mess. Harris would be a disaster of a
candidate, and I think she simply won't be able to run enough of a campaign to
get over the finish line.

Well, if they nominate her it is a near-certain loss. Even Trump would beat her.

He's a grifter, taking the rubes, just like the other grifters do.

> 2) How many state Republican platforms now do not recognize him as President?

If California's does, then the party gets removed from the 2024 primary and November ballots.

California Elections Code, Section 5102:
"No party shall be recognized or qualified to participate in any primary election that either directly or indirectly carries on, advocates, teaches, justifies, aids, or abets the overthrow by any unlawful means of, or that directly or indirectly carries on, advocates, teaches, justifies, aids, or abets a program of sabotage, force and violence, sedition or treason against, the government of the United States or of this state."
I'm pretty sure "putting 'the duly elected President isn't the President" is considered "indirectly advocating sedition," at least in California.
Section 5154 is the same, except that it applies to the general election.
Of course, with California's "open primary" system, all of the candidates for anything except President would just declare themselves "independent," the way Bernie Sanders suddenly decides he's a Democrat for a few months every four years, and show up on the ballot; the only vote that is restricted by party is a Presidential primary, and even then, only for President.
(Actually, the 2000 Presidential primaries were open; anybody from any party could vote in any one Presidential primary. The problem was, the Republican Party rules say that a primary doesn't count if any non-Republicans vote in it, so the state compromised and released two sets of Republican vote counts - one including everybody who voted, and one that counted just Republicans, which the party used to award delegates. Ever since then, Presidential primaries have been limited to voters registered to each party.)

Ridiculous. This section would impact over 90% of candidates on the ballot.. Any politician who supported BLM or anti-Fa
would be in trouble.

Apart from supporting the for-profit mutilation of children, the strangest turn in the Democratic Party has been the
attempt to criminalize criticism of the voting system. This was one of left-wing America's greatest victories, now you've
turned-it-on it's head. Luckily for our democracy, the southern states didn't think to arrest anyone fighting for voting
rights on the grounds of sedition. Was Bull Connor just that stupid or just not devious enough?

From the perspective of Trump’s supporters, the entrenched bureaucracy and security state subverted their populist president from day one. The natural guardrails of the Fourth Estate were removed because the press was part of the operation. Election rules were changed in an unconstitutional manner that could only be challenged after the deed was done, when judges and officials would be playing chicken with a direct threat of burning cities. Political violence was legitimized and encouraged. Major newspapers and sitting presidents were banned from social media, while the opposition enjoyed free rein to promote stories that were discredited once it was too late to matter. Conservatives put these things together and concluded that, whatever happened on November 3, 2020, it was not a free and fair democratic election in any sense that would have had meaning before Donald J. Trump was a candidate.

I don't even think she's going to be a _candidate_. Unless the R's can actually re-ascend Trump in late 2022/early 2023, I think she's the next President -- long BEFORE we get to "candidate".

There will be no more elections in short order.

This could also invite a very real question vis-a-vis whether an attempt to declare it nationally might create a state Constitutional crisis in states like California.

That's the flip side of the argument. You could, after November 8th, demand the entire California state government illegal under their own state Constitution and you MIGHT actually win.

Mutilation of children, because we won't let you execute all the transgenders, gays, lesbians, and bisexuals?

Try again, Space Cadet. And if half what you believed was correct, then, on a militia/2A level, what the fuck are you waiting for?
