    Vance is only VP because the Trumps wanted access to Peter Thiel’s money.

    Nobody likes Vance.

    The funny thing is this was and still is his best chance at the presidency. If the fat pedo keels over, we get this fucking disgrace until 2028. And that year or two will be all he ever gets.

    He never had a chance, before or after Trump. It’s funny because MAGA voters thought he was literally a liberal plot to undermine Trump when they announced he was the VP pick. LOL this loser was so fucking unloved from the start they started a literal conspiracy theory that he was a secret liberal plot to stop Trump from winning… So no, he’s never had a chance.

    He’s like Kevin Spacey from House of Cards where he would only become president through fuckery, except mostly the problematic parts with the live actor and couch fucking in drag as his worst kept dark secret. Also Kevin Spacey would never be so fucking awkward in a donut shop and cause a literal scandal.

      I will admit, Vance kept stepping in gaff after gaff while Trump was running, that I began to wonder if he would be the reason Kamala was elected.

      God why couldn’t the race have been Walz Vs. Vance. Walz was so much better than Kamala and Vance had so much less charisma than Trump

      Unless he and his trillionaires are already set to steal the next election. They sure act like that’s the plan even when they aren’t saying it.

        While I hear the sentiment, let’s not rush to create more than one trillionaire abomination anytime soon.

    No, no he’s not.

    JD has been a slimy political creature the entire time, nothing that is currently happening is surprising to him.

    He’ll be cast as the competent one, the reasonable one, in contrast to Trump, the well-intentioned but mentally declining GodKing.

    The Republican talking heads will all say they’re not MAGA anymore, not even Republican anymore, some of them.

    But, most of them, by the time 2028 comes around, will rally around JD the competent and reasonable one, in contrast to… whoever else, the insane radical trans communist that hates God and white people, and kills babies.

    This shit is amazingly predictable, works like this everytime… they’ll always fall in line or make a show of holding their nose, and vote for the person that will be pro-white, pro-christian, anti-abortion, and pro-business.

    All JD has to do is perform a semi convincing, semi-classy/polite framing of Israel as an ungrateful, wasteful, reckless ally.

    That’s it.

    I’m from his kind of people. White, male, raised on Rush Limbaugh on AM radio in the truck, everywhere, all the time.

    Fortunately for me, I was more curious about the world and fundamentally kind to other people than the vast majority of those I grew up around.

    … But this is what will happen, they’ll ‘rehabilitate’ JD so well that they’ll look at you like you’re crazy if you think that was even a thing that happened.

        Yep.

        Dumb idiot fundamentalist white racists continue to be dumb idiot fundamentalist white racists.

        They are not very hard to please, because their brains operate on 100 unspoken and unexamined double standards… you just need to not trigger any of their massive ‘icks’, and their brains will default to allying with you, GodFearing White Christian Man, because they are taught to conform and do magical thinking to justify their actions.

        They have no moral problem doing horrible things for God. They’ll tell you the terrible things are terrible, but they’re less terrible than a world that doesn’t have Republican Jesus in charge.

        They don’t actually believe in democracy, they never have, they just pretend they do, when either they need to, or thats a useful rhetorical angle in an argument.

    Dude became a millionaire from this presidency.

    I don’t think it matters. He’s done what he came to do, and now he’s set for life.

      He’s probably been a millionaire ever since the first time he responded to Peter Thiel’s 2am “u up?”

      If being set for life was enough, I don’t think we would ever be in this mess.

      It is never enough for materialists.

          I had to look it up because I was curious. He’s apparently estimated to be in the 10+ million territory, so not exactly a centimillionaire (yet - just wait until the grift really gets going I guess, but it’s not guaranteed that Donvict cuts him on the billions he and his family are making).

          Thiel, on the other hand, is not a millionaire, but a billionaire. Estimated to be worth 27.5 billion.

          If you were saying he wasn’t a VC but a pet of a VC, Vance used to be a VC. Obviously not at the level of Thiel…

    He’d be doing okay if he just remembered to say “thank you” that one time, but he didn’t. He knows which time. Now most people on both sides think he’s a sneaky, sleaze who doesn’t know which side of the fence to stand on. When you have no principles, good or bad, you’re nobody.
