Hmm…
This is a direct admission that Trump is gonna die soon
Fingers crossed! JD will not be as batshit. He wants to keep the job and not get bounced from the top spot next election.
JD will not be as batshit.
Considering his connections to Peter Thiel I’m not so sure about that. But what matters is that he won’t be able to wield the cult of personality that has formed around Trump the way Trump can.
Exactly.
JD is scary due to the thiel connection.
He’s very unlikable though imo. He doesn’t have the charisma trump has (not genuine charisma, but like an arrogant bullying charisma that MAGA is attracted to). Hopefully this alone would work against him.
He basically radiates the Jeb Bush please clap awkwardness at all times.
Some people, mostly jokingly, think that the timeline where Jeb Bush got elected president is the best timeline. JD Vance’s would be the worst.
To be fair, though, Trump is deeply unlikable for many people. I’ve had almost a physical reaction to hearing him speak or seeing him since his debates against Hillary. He’s always seemed gross and slimy to me.
In other words, just because you and I see JD as unlikable doesn’t mean that MAGA will also find him unlikable. In fact, Vance’s approval rating among republicans is 89% favorable while among democrats it is 3% favorable as of the beginning of August.
Yeah well he also doesn’t have the full responsibility of this admins actions either.
Once he’s the lightning rod for this unpopular crap he’ll have nowhere to hide.
This, this, this! Trump attracts people in a unique way, the same way that Hitler attracted people. Vance doesn’t have that charisma. His ascension would fracture the party. There’s folks who are willing to buck him, not Trump. It is the best shot we have at normalcy.
I hope you are right, but I don’t know MAGA won’t latch onto a new cult of personality just as easily. The right wing info bubble is a well oiled consent machine and they know how to push the right cultural buttons. Vance is better spoken and has gained a lot of MAGA love under Trump. I worry if Trump dies before he erodes his support too far, it will solidify MAGA under a better equipped leader.
I see people keep saying this but why does it even matter anymore? They already have the power, they already tested camps, they already have troops deployed, he can do what he wants and still control the narrative like they are now
He’s still batshit, just in a better-tailored suit.
The good news is the MAGA crowd don’t have fanatical loyalty to him.
What?
JD and his wife were groomed to be the Republican version of the Clinton’s…
They were literally set up by the “Tiger Mom” who’s an ivy league law professor, then the wife was given SC clerkships.
They are 1000x more dangerous than trump, in no small part because they won’t be as blatant.
I don’t discount that argument, but my hope/expectation is without the base and therefore without undying tacit support from congress, the threat posed by Vance isn’t as much as a live Trump.
A puppet cannot have qualities such as being more or less batshit.
Do not mistake the intelligence of the puppeteer as belonging to the homunculus itself.
JD is Peter Thiel’s errand boy and Thiel wants to collapse of nation states and social programs. His goal is corporate network states with the rich living completely removed from regulations on their power in any way. JD Vance may not be as erratic but he is just as dangerous.
Ahahahahaha! You guys are fukt. JD is a bigger puppet than Strumpf. And a whole lot less likeable if that’s at all possible?!
One last grift: on his deathbed, Trump received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahāda
Fuckin lol
Imagining the Christian nationalists losing their mind; that would be iconic.
Eh. Trump isn’t a christian by their definition now. He could find Krishna on his deathbed and they’ll still make pilgrimages to his grave, expecting him to rise up as their saviour.
They don’t care about his beliefs or actions. All that matters is their own fear, anger, and hate. That’s all this has really been about. Not ideals, not standards, and certainly not reality.
Trump isn’t a christian by their definition now.
Yes he is. He doesn’t go to church. He doesn’t know what’s in the bible. He’s self-centred, greedy, and hateful to those who are different. He’s exactly like the Christians that worship him.
Right, most of them are like that.
He’s objectively a christian, but not by their idealised definition. They can’t see they’re also all of those things, because they’ve perverted the meanings of right and wrong, ‘good’ and ‘evil’, and what morality is.
I don’t think they’d give a shit at this point.
Whatever he does must be right and he must be obeyed; he is now their God. They’ll come up with some explanation for why it was clever or something.
J.D. Vance isn’t ready to run a Wendy’s.
He is ready to run a couch store. Not to be left alone in one, though.
“Sir, this is a country…”
Wishing Mr. Vance a speedy transition to power. Preferably like, tonight.
Wishing for the rest of the world he has a speedy transition right back out of power. Preferably like, very slightly later, also tonight.
Just a quick reminder that the next person in the line to become president after the Vice President and the President are no longer able to perform the job is the Speaker of the House.
I thereby direct you to take a look at who the Speaker of the House is currently.
It’s shit heads all the way down.
It is very unlikely to ever get to the speaker. Everyone in the line doesn’t move up one. If trump dies, vance becomes president but Johnson doesn’t suddenly ascend to vp. Vance selects a new vp that I believe needs senate confirmation.
Not really. Trump and Vance would have to both die at essentially the same time for the role to be given to the speaker. In any other situation, Vance would become president and then nominate a new VP.
A new vice president has to be confirmed by the Senate. That takes time.
The cure is the same regardless of how many Nazis step up to fill the role of their fallen accomplices.
It’s always turtles all the way down.
Had me going in the first half, not gonna lie.
As evidenced by the damp cushions, Vance doesn’t do pulling-out.
Corpses generally don’t.
That would make Mike Johnson next in line
Might have to reload if this keeps up.
That’s what spare magazines are for :)
I am curious how many simultaneous heart attacks would have to happen before we get to somebody sane
Every day I pray for a certain notebook to land in the grass in front of me.
The notebook rules do imply either oblivion or eternal servitude though (And an afterlife to lose suddenly seems much more likely if you’re finding magic killer notebooks) Gotta trick someone else into writing down the names for you.

Small price to pay. The real downside if such a thing exists is someone with worse intentions could use it.
It doesn’t look good. United States presidential line of succession - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_line_of_succession
Anyone remember the show Designated Survivor?
He means “I’m ready to do whatever Peter Thiel tells me instead of Chump”
LOL that fat fuck Vance has zero charisma, therefore will not be POTUS. Americans want a celebrity.
“The president is in incredibly good health,” Vance insisted to USA Today. “He’s got incredible energy.”
And these assholes wanted to “investigate” the Democrats for saying this kind of thing about Biden? At least I’ve seen Biden ride a bike. Having a golf cart shuttle you around on a course ain’t anything.
I’d love to see mr. “incredible energy” try to ride a bike right now, LOL.
I would not be surprised at all if Trump never learned how to ride a bike or swim.
I was a poor kid. Never learned to swim. Had a bike until it broke, but was so long ago that I’ve never owned a bike helmet.
I think Trump had more money.
I try not to be judgemental about such things. Everyone has different circumstances in life that might have prevented them from learning those skills. My fiancee, now in her 30’s, has never owned a bicycle and was never taught. She had a poor upbringing and so the funds were never there for her to be able to learn.
But man, I sure do wonder about the people whose parents did have the financial means for bike riding and swim lessons. Either the parents didn’t show any interest in teaching their kid how to do it, or the kid was not interested in leaning. Either way, it’s not really a good reflection on either the parents or the kid.
But if he doesn’t use a golf cart to taverse the golf course, he will drain his battery out quicker.
Hypocrisy to them is a virtue.
Bro I’ve been looking EVERYWHERE to see if Trump has been seen today. Best I came up with was a zoomed in picture of his face at the golf course. It has so many pixels it barely resembles him and his face is swollen as hell and his nose doesn’t even look normal.
Please Jesus let this be the weekend we get some good news !!!
JD Vance fucked my couch
RELEASE THE COUCH FILES!
No shit, that is literally the job of the vice president
He’s saying he’s ready. He’s not explaining how government works.
That was the goal from the start.
I’ve said from the beginning that one way or another he’d be out right after the midterms (so Vance could have 2 full terms after taking over this one), but maybe il Douche isn’t gonna be able to make it that long. The main thing Vance et. al. have to make sure of is that everything happens in a way that the base will accept as legit and won’t interpret as a coup or conspiracy against Daddy.
Does he know that being the current US President needs to suck Putin’s dick? Does he understand that?
I mean we saw him at the meeting with Zelenskyy. He’s got callouses on his knees already.
I’ve no doubt he can fit Putin’s dick in there along with Peter Thiel’s.
I mean, yeah, probably the thing he’s best at
He can’t wait, got his technique down and all.
First executive order: marriage between a person and a piece of furniture now legal
Prima nocta, but for couches
Back to the kids’ table you little joker.
Don’t subject them to this monster
He’s just gonna fuck 'em anyway
The couches.
The couches, right?
Right?
Yeah, those too
MAGA will not survive without Trump. Can’t wait for that to happen.
JD bout to do to Trump what he did to the Pope
