Can someone whose already used up their terms as President become President
if something happens to the sitting President?
Interesting scenario.
Kamala and Michelle both know that.

I think that the best running mate Kamala can pick is Pete Buttigieg. He is even younger and more energetic than Kamala, and he's proved
himself as Secretary of Transportation and his Infrastructure Bill.

What Stinky Don and all his sycophants obviously don't understand is that the VP is not a symbolic Mini-Me for the POTUS; it's his backup, which will
support him in his future decision-making.
That's one of the reasons that Obama became one of the greatest presidents in US history. He had Biden, who had 36 years of experience navigating a hostile House or Senate.

Of course, there is also a long list of previous accomplishments. Just read
the summary on Wikipedia and then say that Vance can have anything to put up against that.

Unprecedented plane crashes, train wrecks, and shipwrecks, teaming up
with unprecedented failure sounds like a great combo.

Yes indeed, it does. Fortunately none of it has happened to Pete.
Maybe you are confusing him with the convicted felon of yours?
I'm going by what your cousins (the media) are telling me. There's been
a noticeable increase in reported transportation disasters since
Buttigieg became Secretary of Transportation.

Interesting. I can only find a decrease in accidents since Pete's Infrastructure Bill, but please do give us examples of all those
crashes. I'm particularly interested in all the shipwrecks.
Also, can you explain what laws Pete has enacted that are causing the alleged increase in "wrecks?"
These are all transportation related issues that occurred under Pete's watch.
What has he done about any of it?
Pete's not a lawmaker. He's responsible for transportation safety. He
can make a suggestion to congress or to the president to make a law to help with safety,

Well, so he's responsible for every single transportation related *issue*? I guess that includes all the nearly 43,000 fatal car related crashes a year in the U.S. too?
Pete's not a lawmaker. He's responsible for transportation safety. He can make a suggestion to congress or to the president to make a law t help with safety,
So basically, he has not made many enough *suggestions* that would prevent e.g. a US Navy cargo ship from running aground in Bahrain
(nobody was hurt)?
You're changing the subject. I never said anything about car crashes.
But now that you've mentioned it, there has also been an unprecedented number of EVs catching fire during Pete's reign as Transportation Secretary. Good point.
Yea, he needs to do something about that. He can't make laws, but he can enforce them. But he's too busy hanging around with Steven Colbert.
You're changing the subject. I never said anything about car crashes.
No, I'm not changing the subject "What VP will Kamala pick". I'm just adding one clöaim to the other false ones you made.
Data from the National Transportation Safety Board showed that EVs
were involved in approximately 25 fires for every 100,000 sold.
Comparatively, approximately 1,530 gasoline-powered vehicles and 3,475 hybrid vehicles were involved in fires for every 100,000 sold.
If you don't understand why an ICE, Internal Combustion Engine, car --

And you get this information from where? Fox News? Truth Social?
Infrastructure Law. Since the law's passage, Secretary Buttigieg and his team have focused on effectively delivering the investments provided by this legislation, enabling the most significant improvements in U.S. transportation infrastructure in over half a century.
The Secretary has also focused on intervening to support American supply chains dealing with shockwaves from the pandemic, including measures to help cut in half the long-dwelling container congestion at America's largest ports.
Other major initiatives in his early tenure have included a comprehensive national roadway safety strategy to reduce deaths and serious injuries;
delivery of emergency COVID-19 relief funds to transit agencies across America;
and awards of over $9.5 billion in discretionary funding to enhance transportation through over 800 projects in communities across America.

Look at yourself; you're unable to prove my claim false.
Data from the National Transportation Safety Board showed that
EVs were involved in approximately 25 fires for every 100,000
sold.
Right. My claim about EVs was that "There's been an unprecedented
number of EVs catching fire during Pete's administration." You're
simply using the Chewbacca defense to prove a related, but totally differnt point.
Comparatively, approximately 1,530 gasoline-powered vehicles
and 3,475 hybrid vehicles were involved in fires for every

There's nothing for me to understand because this is a conversation
about EVs catching fire at an unprecedented rate since Pete began his
DEI gig.
Yea, he needs to do something about that. He can't makelaws, but he
enforce them. But he's too busy hanging around with StevenColbert.
And you get this information from where? Fox News? Truth
Social?
No. I got it from watching the Stephen Colbert Show, where Pete sat
down on the couch for some laughs while other Americans were being
burnt to death in EVs.
You are trying to bend a statistic or fact to fit your narrative rather than adjust your narrative to fit the full slate of available data.
There's nothing for me to understand because this is a conversation about EVs catching fire at an unprecedented rate since Pete began his DEI gig.
Yep, And there are also an unprecedented number of EVs on the road.
Statistically speaking, 0 people died as a result of an electric automobile catching fire during a 15 minute interview. The interview
could have gone on for a week or more straight and it's still quite
likely 0 people whould have died from an EV fire.

I usually don't speak statistically, but I speak American. And American speaking, the Biden/Harris administration has the worst transportation related statistics in history, but Pete still has time to joke around on TV.
So I'm not sure where you are picking your numbers from. It sounds to me lik
We must appreciate the word "discretionary" because I've been all over
the east coast this summer and I didn't run into any construction projects.

I've noticed that the right tends to just say whatever fits their narrative, facts be damned. Their base doesn't give a damn about
facts, facts come from data. Data is science. Science is the enemy
of Jesus so we don't listen to that crap! ;)
Considering how much totally easily debunkable BS Trump spouts, it's
no surprise his base follows suit.

Kellyanne explained it all so very well. Alternate facts is reality.

That's simply not true. Highway fatalities have been slightly higher since covid ended and people started traveling again, but it's nowhere near the raw numbers from the 70s and 80s, and WAY less in the per
capita and per billion miles traveled figures.
Are you picking out other numbers? Passenger train deaths are up a bit, but accidents are down overall.
That must be totally unique. I've never heard of any other person who never experiences any roadwork when being "all over" somewhere an entire summer.
According to this official traffic information site:
https://511ny.org/
... there are around one thousand construction sites on the roads in
NY state alone and several more thousands "all over the East Coast". If you didn't see a single one, you should take off your orange blinders.
Considering how much totally easily debunkable BS Trump spouts, it's no surprise his base follows suit.
I think Stephen Colbert coined the word "Truthiness" back around 2005.
Roadwork involves regular maintenance. Paving is not something that we
pat our Transportation Secretary on the back for; if anything, we thank our taxpayers for it.

You're doing the same thing that MAYBE I did; you're cherry-picking
your transportation statistics. There were no commerical air
fatalities? That's great, and I'm glad. But what's with the
unprecedented private plane crashes?
I'm not blaming Pete for automobile crashes. Those are out of his
control. But as for trains, sea vessels, and private planes, we're
being slaughtered and Pete's not doing jack about it.

Have you not heard about all the derailments? There was one in Ohio
that just so happens to have been carrying hazardous materials. Then another one in Arizona that just so happens to have been carrying hazardous materials.

It's funny how you guys are having a discussion about "truthiness" and
how your go-to reference is Stephen Colbert. The brainwashing campaign really is a success.

Didn't you bother to check the site out properly? It has a check box for just showing "Construction". Surely you know the difference between construction work and regular maintenance, even in your IRL-alienated bubble?
Have you not heard about all the derailments? There was one in Ohio that just so happens to have been carrying hazardous materials. Then another one in Arizona that just so happens to have been carrying hazardous materials.
I have. It's still not as common as it has been in the past.
Your claim was that these numbers are "the worst in history"
He literally coined the word, on "The Colbert Report". A show where he played a satirical version of a fox news pundit.
Your statements fit the "Truthiness" definition to a T. You say things that "feel" true, but when things are investigated, it shows they're not true at all.

Neither one of us has documentation that proves anything one way or the other.

The frequency of the media reports is definitely unprecedented. Whether or not the media is telling the truth is uncertain, but I'm not sure why your people would lie about it.
Do what I do.
Don't watch news on TV.
Ok, I did what you said, and now I see some construction sites, but how
do we attribute them to Pete Buttigieg? The New York State Department of Transportation is who repairs state highways, and city/town governments fix local roads.

Haven't you seen it on Fox News? The big DoT-truck filled with money, that Pete uses as he travels to every construction site in every state, handing out money to all the workers?
