Speaker of the House is next, I think. And then possibly a run down the Cabinet?

Reagan raised taxes about 9 times, iirc. And then the following Bush had to raise them some more.

The National Lampoon once did this hysterically funny comic about how Nixon's Secretary of Transportation, who was something like 14th in the line of succession, plotted to remove Nixon and every single other person ahead of him from office. They were mean enough to use the real name and image of the SecTrans, who was some poor schmuck of an oil company executive whom Nixon probably couldn't have picked out of a lineup.

Get off the internet. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy on here. Read a book, get out of the house to somewhere w/out TV to clear your head. It's a massive shitstorm, but it's not here yet.

Oooo. Sounds like a political homage to the Ealing Studios comedy, "Kind Hearts and Coronets," which I highly, highly recommend: http://www.geocities.ws/pau...

We have not seen a war like this one promises to be. I guarantee you we'll be distracted.

It's the Speaker, then the President pro Tempore of the Senate (not the majority leader. The president pro tem is more or less an honorary office given to the, or a, senior member of the majority party. Right now it's, you guessed it, Orrin Hatch. So getting rid of Pence and Trump would go from worst to merely worse.

The other robot presidents weren't impressed. I'll swear I saw a scowl on robot James K. Polk's face.

I like the nervous tapping of Freeman's fingers in the left panel.
