He was probably trolling, but I think it's interesting he has offered to do it on a temporary basis until they get a permanent Speaker. Also, that they have set the precedent or as Burning Bright would say, created a "narrative", for having extreme difficulty getting the votes to a permanent Speaker with the crazy McCarthy 18 votes or whatever it was.
I'm envisioning Biden and Kamala being on the verge of gone or Biden being gone and Kamala almost gone or something, and the WWIII nuclear threat thing heating up, along with increased disclosure of the stolen election, etc. His trial date in the televised case I think is March. The press would have to be making a 180 "We hate to admit it but we really do need him back!" pivot. And it would have to be very obvious that the 4-6% ers are the only hold outs. He could then as defacto POTUS probably ensure that the November election is clean and overseen by the military, and then we are all awake and united and he gets his new term. THE END. Or maybe a new beginning. A girl can dream.
But will they make it to step two- the critical thinking part? Will they ponder why and what happened to our tax money? Will they put it together? A lot of people live in their own little bubbles, some of which seem impossible to pop.
