Many of the Ds and their MSM allies are screaking this will be the last election if the Rs gain control of congress.
Yes I know some on the right were saying the same thing during the Obama admin but I thinks the Ds are trying to ramp it up to "action on the streets" if you know what I mean over the matter i

You don't have to go back that far. Plenty of people said that before, during & after the 2020 election. People say that about every election.
Eventually they will be correct but probably not this time.
In the moral, catatonic stupor America finds itself in today it is only disagreement we seek, and the more virulent that disagreement, the better.

I agree with you on that.  I was thinking I heard Dems ask if the Bush Admin would step aside.  Heard some speculate about it with Obama and Trump.

Then again, we haven't had a free and fair presidential election since 2016. But, yeah, let's whistle past the graveyard...

I don’t think he has the troop numbers he thinks he has but his voting rights speech was a great one if the next thing you plan involves cranking up your armored vehicles.

Looks like a possible false flag operation going on in FL.

Blue-check screeching at DeSantis about super fake looking anti-Semitic flyers distributed around Miami Beach goes SO wrong

Remember you heard it here first.
The D's will concoct a reason to get Veep Harris to resign.  Then the shadow government that is running Biden will get Michelle O appointed as VP.  Then the D's can shed themselves of Biden, which will be after the midterm control of congress by the R's, and Michelle O will become president with her hubby in the background pulling her strings.  That way we get 10 years of Barak II because everybody just loves Michelle.

Possible fuzzy memory here but didn't Trump mention something along these lines and the MSM immediately slammed it as vote buying?

What about all the folks who have already paid off their student loans?  Up the creek?  How will they buy them off?

And the rats are beginning to flee the sinking ship...

https://www.foxnews.com/media/liberal-media-pivots-from-unpopular-biden-ahead-of-midterms-as-reality-sets-in

Related, Biden has just said that he'll be running again in 2024 because "nobody else can beat Trump". Trump running or not aside (personally I don't think he should), electoral votes in the last election were close. Even if you call it a fair election, it was close. With Biden's current numbers, how does he think he would have a chance in hell? I think Arizona for sure, where it was close last time, will go R this time, just because of immigration if nothing else.

I know that some here have a problem with DeSantis, but if DeSantis runs in '24, he will run circles around Biden.

I really hope Biden runs again.  I doubt it.  We all know Biden is really stupid.  But I don't think the rest of the party is as stupid as he is.

And I really hope Trump doesn't.

I don't think the party cares about how stupid Biden is.  All they care about is whether he (or anybody they champion) responds correctly to the puppet strings and uses his pen in line with "company policy."

I'm still sorta dreaming Trump will pull a Hillary and establish residency in a very red state, run for Congress or the Senate, and use his powerful voice there to frustrate the Lefties.

If I'm in a really deep dream, I have him replacing Romney.  Nice to wake up with that pleasant fantasy coloring my breakfast routine.

I've never considered the procedure for replacing a VP partway through a term, but my first thought was that the Speaker of the House would become VP; it shouldn't be possible for the VP to be an appointed position since it's next in line for the Presidency.

A little websearching and I find that the 25th Amendment addresses this, and I also discovered that evidently Gerald Ford was effectively unelected to both the office of VP and President, which is more than a little disturbing.  Yes, the House and Senate voted on him being appointed to VP, but 1 year later he took the office of POTUS as a consequence of Nixon's impeachment.  He was House Minority Leader at the time.  The Speaker was a D.

It wasn't a consequence of Nixon's impeachment.  Nixon resigned from office to avoid being impeached.

The best thing that Trump and DeSantis could do would be to announce their candidacy on the same stage, at the same time, and each say that the other will be their VP.
 
Then shake hands, announce that they will be a team, and will have the best non-governmental minds on hand to clean house.

I'm surprised the Democrat powers-that-be haven't condemned this reporting as misinformation.  I'm even more surprised that they haven't flat out forbidden reporting at all on this subject.

They want this info out so if they lose they can blame Trump loving Russian hackers again.

There will be war!
Got to ramp up the scare tactics

Quote
“It would also embolden, uh, Republicans and the far Right and white nationalists across the country to begin to believe that it is their time to not just take power in the House, but the Senate, the White House, and state houses across the country. And we gotta understand that this is a group that has been radicalized by the Great Replacement myth and many other things and have been pushing for violence and pushing for even civil war. So that is what’s at stake right now in terms of this election.”
