Something tells me we're not going to have a significant submarine presence in Lake Eerie...

[u/Veshaad]

[u/Ol_Turd_Fergy]

And yet here we are sweating it out to see if we can actually get rid of the MAGA majority in power. This should be a slam dunk sweep for the Dems. The US is fubar’d.

[u/Ok-Shift5122 → u/Ol_Turd_Fergy]

They know they’re fucked at the polls. We know they’re willing to do anything to stay in control. Therein lies the problem.

[u/BetweenSheetsX → u/Ok-Shift5122]

the fact that this is even close shows how completely cooked the system is. They know they're losing fair and square so they'll pull every cheap trick in the book to stay on top.

[u/uberares → u/BetweenSheetsX]

I’m not so sure it is close- but they are also going to do anything to stop a blue wave happening, even after the votes are counted .

[u/Neonyarpyarp → u/Ok-Shift5122]

Elon and Trump had a laughably public break up, they’ve for some reason recently made up and now he’s back pulling strings… makes you wonder if Trump actually won the last election if every time an election pops up you need Elon in your corner…

[u/TAU_equals_2PI → u/Ol_Turd_Fergy]

That's only Congress. MAGA will have full control of the White House and entire executive branch bureaucracy through 2028 regardless of what happens in the upcoming election.

Digging out of the stupidity American voters have condemned us to is going to be a very long process. Because then even if the 2028 election goes well, it'll take years after that to replace all the people that the MAGAs hired, not to mention all the federal judges that they appointed.

People need to have patience and realize they must keep coming back to the election booth year after year to undo the damage. Very little can ever be fixed with only one election.

[u/Icy-Hat-9643 → u/TAU_equals_2PI]

If I understand it correctly, if the Dems impeach Trump and Vance simultaneously then the Speaker becomes president, no?

(Im Canadian)

[u/TAU_equals_2PI → u/Icy-Hat-9643]

I'm afraid that won't work.

Impeaching is only like charging someone with a crime. You then have to have a trial, which is done by the US Senate, and to convict/remove somebody requires 2/3 of the senators.

Problem is we only hold elections for 1/3 of our senators in each election. Right now, Dems are the minority in the Senate, 47-53. So the upcoming election will at best put Dems slightly in the majority in the Senate, like maybe 51-49 or 52-48 if we're extremely lucky. But to convict/remove somebody requires 67 senators. Yes, Republican senators could also vote to convict/remove, but very few would be likely to do that. A few of them did the last time Trump was impeached, and they all got voted out in their next election.

[u/butonelifelived → u/TAU_equals_2PI]

It is mathematically possible, Dems have to win all but 1 senate race in Nov, just unlikely. That being said, there were a lot of mathematical inprobababilites that occurred in the last election.

Get out and vote, we only need to flip 20 seats. 21 if you consider Fetterman a Dino.

[u/Wray-Nerely → u/Icy-Hat-9643]

I'm sure others attempted to explain this but...

Impeachment is meaningless if of doesn't lead to a conviction. Trump has already been impeached twice, no convictions. If Trump gets convicted, JD Vance is the new president for the remainder of the term. The likelihood of JD Vance also getting impeached and convicted are extremely low because no one is really focused on Vance at the moment, and her doesn't have the rap sheet Trump does.

But yes, on the off chance that Trump and then Vance were to both be convicted, Speaker Mike Johnson becomes the next president. The issue with a Trump conviction is that Vance, while still awful, would be better than Trump. Things could improve just enough that the Republicans that are slowly learning how bad this administration is will see the improvement and decide Vance is doing a good job, and whatever gains the Democrats get are gone.

Also, another weird oddity: in the hypothetical situation where Trump is convicted before January 20th, Vance can finish out Trump's term as president and potentially serve another 2 full terms. Whereas Trump being convicted after January 20th means Vance would only get to serve 1 full term after finishing up Trump's presidency

Edit: This is why I shouldn't Reddit from my phone, funny end up double checking what I write 1/2 the time. If Vance takes over with less than 2 years left to the term, he can serve 2 full terms. If Vance takes over with more than 2 years left to term, he can only serve for 1 more term.

[u/Minimum-Tear4609 → u/Wray-Nerely]

"But yes, on the off chance that Trump and then Vance were to both be convicted, Speaker Mike Johnson becomes the next president."

That would only be true if the Republicans keep the House. If the Democrats take it, Johnson's out as speaker immediately.

That being said, I doubt Democrats will impeach Trump even IF they take both the House and the Senate, because of their incredible ability to kick themselves right up their own rear ends.

[u/beckerman67 → u/Minimum-Tear4609]

Congress resets on Jan 3rd and the new body elects a Speaker days after. If Dems sweep, Johnson, at best , becomes minority leader.

[u/Chanticleer_Hegemony → u/Icy-Hat-9643]

Trump has been impeached twice and it didn’t do anything either time.

[u/Ol_Turd_Fergy → u/Chanticleer_Hegemony]

He was never convicted in the senate, which is why the Dems need control of both.

[u/Pdiddily710 → u/Ol_Turd_Fergy]

Not just control, they need 2/3 of the senate to vote to convict which will NEVER happen.

[u/Icy-Hat-9643 → u/Chanticleer_Hegemony]

If they control the house and Senate they could get it done couldn't they?

[u/Backdoor_Invader → u/Icy-Hat-9643]

Senate requires 2/3 supermajority. So unless some Republicans break rank...

[u/StuckInWarshington → u/Backdoor_Invader]

I’m of the belief that a few will break rank to convict Trump and Hegseth, but doubtful they’ll be willing to get rid of Vance and give the executive to Democrats.

[u/TAU_equals_2PI → u/StuckInWarshington]

I'm skeptical many Republican senators would break rank again. Remember, all the ones that did last time got primaried out or retired. Republican voters apparently didn't like it. And that was a case where Trump was already out of office anyway because his term had ended.

[u/Creepy-Kale9927 → u/TAU_equals_2PI]

Even clawing back control isn't going to change anything. These people are still butthurt over the Confederacy losing, regardless of whether or not their ancestors even had a stake in it. They want a world of entitlement rooted in false notions of what the good old days of slavery, Jim Crow, disenfranchised women, gay bashing, and sin on Saturday/forgiveness on Sunday, good ol' boys rules. They're not going to lower their heads and take it should they lose, they'll just go back to scheming to get it back and passing on their festering hate.

Well, a bunch of the LCS are built in Marinette, MI and transit the Great Lakes on their way to their initial deployment.

On the hand hovering above them all WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU TELL THE WORLD WHERE TJE SUBMARINES, THE BOATS WHOSE ENTIRE POINT IS BEING SNEAKY, ARE??

[u/Ras_Thavas]

1. The Erie Canal: A Hard Stop
The Problem: Current Navy nuclear submarines are roughly 33 to 44 feet wide and draw about 32 feet of water when surfaced.
The Reality: The Erie Canal is only about 12 to 14 feet deep, and its locks are only 45 feet wide. Your submarine would immediately run hard aground at the canal entrance in Tonawanda. Furthermore, your sail (the tower) would smash into the first low bridge it encountered.

2. The St. Lawrence Seaway: Too Shallow and Too Small
The Problem: The St. Lawrence Seaway and Welland Canal locks have a strict depth restriction known as Seaway-Max, allowing a maximum ship draft of 30 feet (with some channels dropping to a minimum depth of 27 feet).
The Reality: Even on the surface, a nuclear submarine draws too much water and its hull would drag along the shallow riverbed long before reaching the ocean. Additionally, larger Ohio-class or Columbia-class submarines are too wide (42+ feet) and long to safely navigate the tight turns and dimensions of the Welland Canal lock system.

[u/mjrydsfast231]

In her defense, Lake Erie is connected to the St Lawrence Seaway, which does feed out to the Atlantic ocean. I'm not sure you could get a submarine through there, but if you could, there are parts of Lake Erie that are deep enough for a submarine. I'm not sure you would ever station the thing there. Downtown Cleveland has a nice port with the Great Lakes ore freighters that go in and out of there so it's got to have some depth, but still, it seems weird. I mean if you're going to station them in the great lakes, why not station them in Lake Ontario? Er...., I mean Lake America? That would make the most sense since the quickest avenue back out to the Atlantic Ocean where the wars would probably be fought with submarines.

[u/GH057_807 → u/mjrydsfast231]

There's a Navy Submarine Repair Facility that just got announced, which for some reason is slated to be built in Cleveland.

I imagine this is what she was referencing.

I don't know how they plan on bringing the submarines there, or why they didn't build it near an ocean. I have some uneducated guesses though.

[u/Falconjth → u/GH057_807]

Senator Husted of Ohio is up for election after being appointed to the position. His web presence is crowing about having secured the facility for the state.

There could possibly be some reason that whatever the facility will do is okay with being on barges or trucks; however, the current location appears to be completely political for this specific election and it's entirely possible that an internal review will conclude on Nov. 4th that actually there's no deep water port that a submarine could effectively use at that location and it gets canceled.

[u/GravitasFailures → u/Falconjth]

Yeah it’s just this, our sub facilities at Newport News and Groton are not only the best on the planet by far, but underused.

[u/DatabaseAcademic6631]

Thing is, they'll double down and build THE BIGGEST submarine base on the shores of Lake Erie...

Political satirists continue to be in shambles.

Her qualifications are impeccable!

[u/Spare-Management3769]

Apparently only credentials needed are 1. Be blonde. 2. Be a young woman that Taco wants to sleep with.

I grew up in Cleveland and when I heard her say this today I was like, what did she say?

[u/deeznutz5589]

Ohios near the ocean!? Siiiick

[u/Obvious-Muffin2787]

What an utter disgrace.

[u/Educational_Ice3978]

Idiocracy was a documentary.

[u/zuus453]

Geography has not been the Trump administration’s strong suit.

[u/myfourthquarter]

Is there any evidence she said that?

[u/cairdeas]

I know nothing matters but someone should tell them that nothing gets into Lake Erie without Canada's permission through the Welland Canal.

[u/OkManufacturer2373]

Wouldn't it be nice to hire people based off experience and knowledge rather than whatever this is.

[u/SuperSimpleSam]

Good thing Trump didn't make this mistake or DOW would be building a sub base as we speak.

[u/IntrepidJump432]

Please… this is a joke, right? Please say this is a joke.

[u/Hair_I_Go]

I had to look again to make sure this wasn’t the Onion sub

[u/EnchantedWood1981]

It makes sense, they are thinking ahead. the country is sinking already, pretty soon the brand new trump ocean will fill in the craters from the nuclear strikes invited by our overseer.

[u/Foreign_GrapeStorage]

Parts for submarines are going to be sent there for repair because the St. Lawrence River connects the Great Lakes to the Atlantic.

"A 46,000-square-foot facility designed to manufacture, repair, and maintain critical parts and components for virtually all current and future U.S. submarines."

"Components will be shipped inland to Cleveland for refurbishment because Northeast Ohio offers an ideal manufacturing workforce"

It only took 2 seconds of Googling and then reading to find out what was actually happening and why.

[u/_Saint_Ajora_]

"but what she actually meant by that was...."

"what she said was taken out of context"

-maga coming to her defense

[u/173slaps]

So will she make it one scarramuchi?

[u/AsstToTheManager]

She's so cute.

[u/ImpossibleScarcity34]

As a Canadian I really hope she's wrong 

[u/Binspin63]

trump is planning to strap helicopters to the deck and fly them to Ohio. What could be easier?

[u/Feisty-Driver-1263]

Well I personally believe that uhm some people don't uh HAVE maps....

[u/Dommiiie]

She looks like the stereotypical dumb high school cheerleading captain of every highschooll movie out there.

[u/rowdydionisian]

This just in: water is, in fact, not actually wet. More on this at 11

[u/indomike14]

Maybe this is what she was talking about?

What in the holy fuck is wrong with you people..another bimbo !

[u/rendog131]

Is this real?

[u/Standard_Bear7910]

She doesn’t have to be smart, just blonde.

[u/Fast_Restaurant6488]

[u/Plastic_Economy6063]

We can get subs that are less than 320’ to the Atlantic via the Erie Canal, located in the US, but our bigger subs, up to 520’ long, would have to go through the Welland Canal, in CANADA. Don’t get too excited Cleveland, it sounds like these dumb m’fers never discussed this idea with anybody in the Navy. What a shitshow.

[u/wrijam]

Lake Erie to the St Lawrence River, out to the Atlantic. Jeepers people

[u/NoSong2397]

They know that Erie is the shallowest Great Lake, right?

[u/Pudi2000]

At this point "Mitch the glitch for president!!"

[u/Brokenbowman]

What’s the over under on how many Scaramuccis she lasts?

[u/Ok_Construction3279]

Should be Article II, Section 4
