#1 Be sympathetic. It's hard to operate the puppet when the strings are tangled up and The Supreme Hall Monitor keeps trying to grab the controls.

#2 The Newsome visit to Dr. Jill during the Puppet's absence is pregnant with possibilities and a great inspiration for conspiracy thinking. Remember that just because you are a suspicious paranoid, it doesn't mean it isn't true!

A rereading of the 25th Amendment reveals some interesting clues. Clearly, when the Presidency becomes vacant, whether by death or inability, the Vice President becomes President. What disastrous consequences an unchecked Harris Presidency might create is a different conversation. But regarding the Vice Presidential vacancy, the 25th is clear:

"In response to the second question, regarding vice-presidential vacancies, Section 2 of the Twenty-Fifth Amendment requires the President to nominate a replacement Vice President when that office becomes vacant, subject to confirmation by a majority of both the House and Senate.".

Given the high probability of a Red Wave in November, the demokrats lose a lot of choice in creating a Vice President for the 2024 election, and Harris is an impossible choice to lead the ticket. But here is the secret fig leaf to dump her. The Constitution, as amended, states:

Article II states: “The electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for two persons, of whom one at least shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves.”

If Biden is removed from office prior to the installation of a new Congress in January 2025, a simple demokrat majority in both houses will allow a Newsome Vice Presidency, and the party can use the Article II prohibition to dump Kamala pro forma from the 2024 ticket. Additionalky, it sets up the perfect Newsome campaign meme. If she is impeached by a Republican Congress for cause (impossible to imagine she would not be given her performance to date), it creates the storyline that "Republican white supremacy" was the cause of her removal, playing the race care endlessly to drown out the disastrous performance of the Biden-Harris Administration.

What other explanation fits the timing of the visit to Dr. Jill, except the quid pro quo of the move to power and the Newsome promise of protection for the Puppet Show principals after their departure from power?

#4 ^ There is no Occam's Razor in politics my friend, and its Sunday, so Rube Goldberg Theories are allowed.
