Recorded prior to Joe Biden's V.P. pick announcement, we ponder the what-ifs. We start out looking at the factors at play in Vice President Biden's campaign: potential VP picks, his health, and divisiveness in the United States. Switching gears, La Fool and A dig into how Donald Trump became president. Did he run with the intention to win; was he meant to be a pawn in the Hilary Clinton campaign; or was it all about the money and his ego? And finally we wrap it up with the final what-ifs in Biden's V.P. picks. Hint: We don't mention Senator Kamala Harris.

La Fool & A get into why Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi didn't give 100% to impeach the President of the United States. Was it karma? Optics? Or something else? We look at what might have happened if Vice President Pence had to assume the Presidency, and how establishment Democrats played a role in Trump's election. In this episode, recorded on July 28, 2020, La Fool questions Senator Kamala Harris' impeachment involvement and predicts her pick as Vice President by the Biden Campaign.

--Additional Notes, Corrections, and Context for this Episode--
La Fool suggests Vice President Pence comes from a cop family, but that is not factual. Pence has, throughout his career, been an outspoken supporter of the police and he appears to favor a police state.

La Fool challenges the definition of patriot, touches on the Trump administration's “tactical unit” in U.S. cities, and looks at how past presidents have set the stage for an Irrational Actor. Plus we look at the idea that Trump is a malignant narcissist as referenced in a recent Chauncey DeVega podcast.

--Additional Notes, Corrections, and Context for this Episode--
La Fool suggested Pelosi could be impeached for embezzlement: It would have been more accurate to say, instead of embezzlement, "fishy business dealings in San Francisco in the mid-2000's" which could lead to charges including corruption and insider trading.

We use the term Irrational Actor as associated with Kenneth Waltz's Theory of International Politics and further discussed by Jon Elster, J.J. Mearsheimer, Alen Shadunts, and others.
