Wow--Vance is so much worse than we thought! Every time he opens his mouth, he makes things both more clear and certainly worse. Keep it up, fuzzball!!

Trump and Vance *are* warmongers. They just prefer domestic to foreign wars.

No matter what else happens on Nov. 5th, we MUST permanently END Shady's public role. No matter how, no matter what lies it requires, no matter how much eyeliner and lame' it takes, we have to end him as a public figure forever. If 100,000 of us have to move to Ohio and vote him out, that's what we have to do. He is DANGEROUS. Far more dangerous than the felon, because he's younger, smarter, and not yet convicted of any felonies (that we know of).

Their signaling is klaxon-horn loud.

Thankfully the police and other security is ready for them this time.

"[W]hy Pence chose not to join Trump’s coup four years ago: It’s not that Pence actually concluded he didn’t have the power to do so, it’s because he was a RINO warmonkey who hated Trump all along!"

AKA, "Trump knows 'the best people'."

Are we sure this is the same party that always banging on about The Ten Commandments? With its "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor" and β€œThou shalt have no other gods before me?”

Weird.

Like any xian actually follows the commandments....it's a toxic creed only concerned with power and hegemony.

Not to worry, coup-ing will be an official duty of the new PAB regime.

Why would they do that? Because they are ashamed? Because they are guilty?

If you're ever feeling down, please remember this -

When trump loses someone other than trump is gonna be held responsible by MAGA traitors. Front and center is gonna be the couch fucker.*

And I, for one, cannot wait.

* Can you prove he's NOT a couch fucker? Were you there every single time he could have been fucking a couch??

This is bc MAGAts are chronically the dumbest person in the room.

They resent this fact and resent the smart people who correct them very bitterly.

They SO VERY DESPERATELY want to be absolutely, unequivocally, unquestionably correct so they can rub the faces of the people who usually correct them / clean up their messes have to acknowledge their superior intellect and being-rightness.

This is PAB's entire MO. He resents everything - his father, who never really gave him a significant role in the family business, the fact that he was a low-IQ shit student with dyslexia who never understood schoolwork, the fact that he does not, in fact, know as much about everything as he thinks he does. It absolutely tracks Dunning-Kruger behavior - he is almost always wrong when he opens his mouth, and he resents when people correct him.

Were it not for his money and the persona his grandstanding constructed via a toadying celebrity-hungry New York press, he'd be nothing but a laughable idiot. Unfortunately, he's tapped into the chronically resentful Dunning-Kruger vote, and his assurances to them that their wrongheaded bullshit is not only correct but moral excites them on a visceral level. Those Dunning-Kruger hordes would follow him into hell if it meant that the smart people who correct their errors have to defer to the DK crowd, while the DK crowd crows about it.

Defunding and devaluing education led to this. Really. There are huge chunks of this country that see zero value in education, and it shows....

I'm more or less convinced that's the only reason he's still on the ticket: convenient scapegoat.

I hope that Jumpin' Divan doesn't think that just because I hate PAB that it means that I'm an old guard Republican.

So Vance is just admitting casually that he doesn't respect centuries of precedent or tradition, nor does he understand the law as every Constitutional scholar in America worth their salt understands it.

His shabby Yale Law education is looking more and more like "being babysat by his mommy substitute, the disgraced Amy Chua."

I think both Yale and Harvard should be taking back some diplomas. Maybe they've always produced assholes like Vance, but the last 9 years has seen A LOT of fucking insane and/or stupid graduates from those two universities.

It's amazing to me that "jdvance" is just o-n-e tiny letter away from "advance". In fact, Goog and other autocorrect features (including these non-comments, try it!) will assume you mean "advance", as in "moving forward", as in "progressing."

Hard nerp.

But then, "trump" is just two letters away from "dump", as in, "just took one and wow I feel great now."

"Congress in 2022 changed the Electoral Count Act to make absolutely clear the the vice president’s role is purely ceremonial, to head off at least that route for future election-certification fuckery."

And JD is just impotently and irrelevantly yapping.
