Probably not due to incompetence. But they possibly/probably could be replaced by the VP after he has resigned.

No not resigning just not running for another term

Does it really matter at all if he resigns and if Harris assumes the position? Not at all. Neither one is running the country. Itās Obama and his administration pulling the strings. Look at Bidenās cabinet.

Was Barrack speaking for Michael?
An offhand remark by President Obama at a private fundraiser in California has critics complaining that he shouldnāt have referred to Californiaās top law enforcement officer, Attorney General Kamala Harris, as āthe best-looking attorney general in the country.ā NBCās Andrea Mitchell reports.

Oh he aināt resigning, he got on TV and gave some stupid story about how he should pass the torch to save democracy, pllleeeaase. He got hit in the face with the numbers and new he was gonna get beat like a red headed step child so heās gonna let that giggling idiot of a vice he picked because she was a woman plus another thing she has going for her so he could get two different sets of voters and he admitted that when he ran.

I wish that he would resign so America could have a few months of Harris and see what a disaster she would be.

I was honestly hoping heād resign just so that we already get our first woman president, or black woman, or Indian woman, or whatever she identifies as (even if just 6 months), and donāt need to elect her to check that box. It might have dampened some enthusiasm among people who otherwise wouldnāt bother to turn out and vote.
Iām worried about this. There are a ridiculous number of people in this country that would vote for absolutely anyone if they felt like they were āpart of historyā and actually electing the first female president. Hell, look how close Hillary came. If a man with her history of corruption, crime and general incompetence had been running, heād never even have made the ticket. Yet she got half the popular vote. They could put freaking Whoopie Goldberg on the ticket and get 80 mllion votes!
Between gender-race based voting and the democrats proven ability/willingness to cheat, weāre in real trouble here.
Personally, I canāt financially survive another four years of Bidenomics. Iāve lost about half my net worth in the last 3 years and have had to push my planned retirement out about 5 years now. This canāt continue.

Back in 2012 or thereabouts I was planning to work into my 70s at a minimum. A Cpl years ago I was shopping at Kroger and the ābag boyā was an 83 year old man! If it wasnāt for my medical health I would be working. Iāve joined up with my son to learn how to play stock options. He found a guy online that has figured out how to play SPY, a S&P500 ETF. I know itās a gamble and Iām being very conservative. Made $700 this week. Saving for taxes!

Stock market can be fun to play but it is scary. I day traded for about 9 months while on a weekend shift at work. I made a lot more than what I made at work during that period. I quit because it stressed me out knowing all my savings were in that account and I could lose a bunch of what I had already worked for.

Yes, thatās why Iām being very conservative and only making my plays on the SPY. Schwab wants me to get line of margin. That is about as likely as raising the Titanic. I do expect loses that is why Iām not spending more than $300 at a time. Iām going to switch over to a different brokerage that charges 0.65 cents per option. Schwab wants to pigeon hole me and change me more for day trading.
Youāre exactly right, it takes some balls of steel to sit and watch the clock tick down and youāre still in the red.

After making good money day trading for a couple of months with my own money, the trading company said I could borrow as much money as I had in my account each day, but it had to be paid back by end of day. Worked out great for quite a while until I had to take off out of town and couldnāt watch the stocks all the time. $10K down the drain in one day!

Ouch that hurt and I feel your pain. Getting a line of margin is a shell game. The brokerage knows you will fumble at some point and will pull out the big green weeny on you. I am in a good position right now. The wife has an excellent job, Iām on disability and have all day every day to watch. I garden after the markets close.
Iām starting with $1200 in my new account and if I lose it all it wonāt be too bad.
Edit: I am working to a plan. Small bets until the account is larger, have set goals before I make larger bets and only play the SPY following this guy online. It takes discipline and patience which many today donāt have.

Thatās the way to do it. Always play smart. Donāt let greed get in your way. I started with 5K at the end of 9 months I had 72K. It was profitable but it was scary. At the end I was buying and selling for a 2 cent gain or taking short positions. It gets to be a trip when you have both on your board. Be careful, watch closely, and study up. It is a he11 of a ride but can turn out as bad as it can good. Do well.

Roger That, I had 38-K in my SD box when Bitem got in and now I think I have two hundred dollar bills in the Crown Royal bag. I use a safety deposit box because interest doesnāt exist anymore and like my guy at my bank said because I already was taxed to heck & back on my money and I asked him about putting it in a box and he said ā only you and God know whatās in that boxā lol, for $ 37 a year I can go for that plus I have a few lbs. of silver in there to. Iām mad as h311 about having to get into that money and itās simply because everything has gone sky- high from groceries to utility bills, heck a stamp is gonna be 70 cents soon and thatās nuts.
Amen to that. I was always taught to have a plan and stick to it. As a former manager once told me: the plan is the plan until you change the plan. It was straight out of Dilbert, lol.
