Not sure how much better it gets going down to the 15th spot.

6 Secretary of Defense James Mattis (I)
7 Attorney General Jeff Sessions (R)
8 Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke (R)
9 Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue (R)
10 Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross (R)
11 Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta (R)
12 Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price (R)
13 Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson (R)
– Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao (R)[a]
14 Secretary of Energy Rick Perry (R)
15 Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos (R)

Ben Carson stars in The Accidental President.

That is a stacked deck.

The line of succession is designed for a President's death, not for a situation like this. It makes sense when a President dies for members of his cabinet to be close to the top because they shared the elected man's vision in theory. When the President is impeached for something like this, the line of succession looks like a cruel joke.
 
How far down that list do we have to go to get someone decent?
All the way to this guy:

President Mattis would be a solid win for this country.

Mattis is fine as far as line of succession.

I mean, you're all but guaranteed to have a military confrontation with Iran, but beggars can't be choosers and all that!

It'd also make impeachment impossible anyway if a Dem was a possible successor.

You guys are going overboard. It's like I'm watching someone who just bought a lottery ticket for the first time thinking that winning the jackpot is likely.

Just trying to have a little fun while trying to forget the chaos that the leadership of this country is creating.

The only way out of this is that it's done right and everyone, EVERYONE is held accountable... We need a perp walk and for Russia to be put in a corner.

This is gonna be the greatest Coen Bros movie ever.

"What did we learn, Palmer?"
"I don't know, sir."
"I don't fucking know either... I guess we learned not to do it again."

I think the problem here is that even the Coen brothers don't write characters this dumb. It's usually an endearing simpleness rather than full-blown idiocy like we're seeing.

In that short tweet, Donald Sr. sounds like those dads who have to explain to a judge that their son who killed two people while drunk driving is actually a good guy who doesn't deserve 10 years in prison.

God's had his chance.

The lack of exclamations and capslock and BOLD WINNING in this tweet is hilarious for so many reasons. It's like when your dog is just barking at fucking everything and then you yell at em and tell em to get in the kennel and they go and lay down and do that kind of half whine half gruffing thing cause they know they in the shit but can't fight their barky fuckin nature

I'm not convinced any of this will stick in any decent manner but the hope for a shitstorm is real now. What a bunch of fucking clowns.
