On the other hand, I would love to see some subset of house republicans try. I imagine their attempt to sit a non-congress critter as speaker would fail, even with a republican majority, but the infighting and drama would be really amusing.

That raises the interesting question if a non-member can even be elected to the Speaker's chair. It has never happened before, of course, and, as far as I know, the Constitution is silent on the question. It merely says that the "The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers;and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment." (Article I, section 2, clause 4). It does not specifically say that the Speaker must be an elected member of the House. Nor does it say that the Speaker need not be a member.

I am not a Constitutional scholar, but I have to believe that the founders intended that the Speaker be selected from the House membership, as it has for 242 years.

If he were elected as Speaker, he would have no vote in the House. I'm pretty sure that that privilege is limited to actual members that have been elected by constituents at home.

If the R's were to try such a move, would SCOTUS, as currently constituted, allow it? Would they even take the case or would they punt on the grounds that it is a "political question"?

Isn't this his third attempt at this shit? And didn't one only last a few days as he could not take the low numbers that signed up.

Anyway, this is probably just some people paying him to use the Name.

These guys look like real winners.

The most darn clever trick to find a backdoor to investigate undercover the Wuhan Labs and save the world from the greatest Chinese conspiracy and world dominancy evahhh.

Won't bother them a bit. When the Chinese help Biden, they are evil incarnate, bent on communist world domination. When the Chinese help Donald Trump, they are freedom and truth loving global citizens trying to help true American patriots return our country to "we the people".

I don't know much about this stuff, but I'm not surprised. But what will it be worth in six months? I'm guessing not this much.

Mebbe it is time for me to short this security. Might have to look more carefully into this shitshow of a company.

This could just be a pump & dump.

I dunno how to copy it here, but click on that link of the chart, and change the time from 1 day to 1 month.

It has all the classic signs of a penny stock scam.

Buy a "shelf" company, have it "acquire" your new scam company so it can be listed on the stock exchange without having to do all the pesky disclosure, run up the price with lots of announcements backed up by not much action, run for the exits.

So, I can't wait for the Congressional Hearings for this one.
