Wonder if he’d have the balls to turn on Trump if he knew it would make him president today.
He did take a secret meeting with Fox News Executives and Rupert Murdoch at the Murdoch family ranch the other day. Maybe they are planning to try and sawy public opinion on Trump to put JD in the role.
As long as Trump is not in prison, his base will not abandon him.
If Vance ousts Trump, the Republican base will never forgive him. The Republicans in Congress might love it… Until the base votes them out.
The midterms will be hell for the Republicans. Unless they steal the election… That too is in the cards, but we have to wait to see how it plays out.
That puts a lot of faith on Trump’s base thinking for themselves, when in reality much of them just parrot whatever the day’s Fox/OAN/etc talking points are.
If his greed surpasses his cowardice and he sees an opportunity, sure.
Trump should be very worried, Vance is going after his job just like Musk was.
The same Vance who had dinner with the Murdoch’s just before the Trump letter to Epstein was released?
Noooo…
Nah, he was chosen specifically because he’s one of the most feckless people there is. Certainly the most feckless couch fucker.
I don’t know many feckfull couch fuckers.
Vance is in the new evil empire crowd and has been for a very long time.

Thiel, Musk, Vance, Yarvin, Masters and a cast of the worst people on earth have plans.

Consider that Peter Thiel bankrolled JD Vance and that he, musk, zuck, et al have essentially established a technocratic state within the new admin. https://www.ft.com/content/408fb864-5831-4b1d-beef-fd1966b3beed

The Wall Street Journal reported that Musk might support that PAC to the tune of around $45 million per month. Musk has denied that specific claim since, but the America PAC, which is run by Lonsdale, appears to be created to support the “PayPal Mafia” worldview — which includes (and indeed depends on) the bankruptcy of the United States.https://washingtonspectator.org/peter-thiel-and-the-american-apocalypse/
At least PayPal had a suitably grand mission—the kind that post-bubble skeptics would later describe as grandiose: we wanted to create a new internet currency to replace the U.S. dollar.~ Peter Thiel Zero to One https://archive.org/stream/zero-to-one-peter-thiel-and-blake-masters/Zero to One - Peter Thiel and Blake Masters_djvu.txt

And one final, very important thought:
You just know that he’d grab every sofa by the cushion given the opportunity.
But his owner wants him in the oval.
Then he’s either not trying very hard or sucks at being a shadowy puppetmaster of kings. There are many, many ways the GOP could get rid of Trump. The only conclusion I can reach is that they think they need him.
trump has the base wrapped around his tiny fingers, and many of the gop has tied thier career to trump being president, also they want in on the grifting he opened up.
Vance did not fuck a couch, everyone says so. Go ahead, Google “Vance fucks couches” and see what you find. So many people pointing out that Vance claims to not fuck couches.
there was also the initial allegation he was looking at dolphins too.
The Pope was just a practice run.
Maybe now we really know why he killed the pope.
he reaped his soul , as a reaper
Funny pope selection drama, with the caveat I know about this mostly in passing: allegedly Francis was a compromise vote because the guy that a large (but not majority) faction wanted was too controversial a pick. So they voted in Francis because he was already old and only had 1 lung, so how long could he have to live anyway? Turns out longer than the guy said faction wanted to elect.
Pretty sure Trump greased some wheels on his trip over there.
grease from mcdonalds kitchen.
So if he becomes President by some mechanism, would HE release the Epstein Files?
No
How can he boast about a hoax? 🤔
“If that’s the case, why would Pam Bondi call it evidence? She’s not an idiot. She’s the attorney general,” Dillon added.
She’s not an idiot. She’s the attorney general
I’m not sure that those are mutually exclusive.
We all know about at least one person who is in there.
The files that clearly don’t exist?
Get outta here!
Vance can be made to talk. Just saying.
This must be one of the “weaklings” Trump was complaining about.
“She’s not an idiot. She’s the attorney general”
Umm, these are not mutually exclusive.
As an example of mutually exclusive…you can be well read, know all of the fancy words, and still be an idiot.
Thanks! I’m an idiot, because I’m not the attorney general, so your explanation helped a lot!
Lol fair enough
Lol fair enough
Lol fair enough
Alex Jones looks like a miserable piece of shit. I mean, even more than usual.
Guy on the left looks like he’s just discovered micro transaction and his mum’s credit card.
Damn. That was brutal. Had me chuckling for a good couple minutes. Thank you for that lol
Is the one on the right even real? Looks like that “waxy” vibe AI images sometimes have.
My first thought too. Doesn’t look like a real pic.
Real pic of a fake human
So many images seem to have been unnecessarily processed by AI now. I see that waxy, cutout look everywhere. It’s not really upscaled, or cleaned, it just feels “weirdened”.
Pic on the right is after Kevin McAllister made him guess the sound of a tool chest falling down the stairs.
Or, ya know, heavy drinking between shows and definitely not ever doing drugs
He was told to plant these lies…
We have a pretty good idea what’s on there
Not surprising. Dude basically speed ran his way to VP, he never developed the social skills necessary for the role.
Thiel bought his role from senator to the VP.
Unlike who?
Isn’t lack of social skills required to be part of Trumps administration?
Really anyone who seeks the amount of power upper government provides tends to be a sociopath. Same with billionaires. Well adjusted people call it quits at $10m or city mayor. I think the government needs to be way flatter than it is.
I would say a complete lack of empathy/humanity is a bigger prerequisite.
