I am convinced god has chosen to abandon reason and choose to create the dumbest, most absurd timeline ever

“He could come back,” Sherman said. “Obviously, I’m not a real fan of how the Iraq War went

    Dems get W elected as speaker. W sets explosives in a building Joe & Kamala are going to meet in and gets Saudi friends to make it look like Iranian terrorism. 3rd W term begins. Gets primaried by Trump who beats Hillary a second time.

    Propaganda works. All those years of smoothing over the jagged edges and washing the blood away have made no-oil seem so endearing to so many people, including people that lived through his active reigning years.

    That isn't directly connected to the chances of him being the next speaker of the House of Representatives, except that the public isn't likely to be too upset about the proposal, not after so much propaganda absorption.

    This is just liberal fanfiction.

    Although it would be funny for them to elect him and him to immediatly go "alright time to get a few new wars going in the middle east" and watch liberals remember why they used to not like him.

    Maybe this is a based joke. Look at the most unreasonable Republican of the past, he's basically reasonable by today's standard, eh? I mean the fact he can say it with a straight face is even more proof of a bit, right?

    He’d be 2 heartbeats away from being President again.

    But why wouldn’t House republicans just put Trump in there?

      Because even the true believers understand he's a loud moron who hamstrings everything they try to do if he doesn't get sole credit for its success and none fo the blame for the failures.
