CURRENT EVENTS - JANUARY 2026

Vance is also the only person in the executive branch Trump can't fire; you would think he would look at the polling and the last elections and start putting some distance between him and the orange human boil knowing that Trump can't dispose of him.

He wants to be POTUS someday and he knows that while Trump can't fire him, he can certainly tank his election chances going forward.

Vance has a tightrope to walk between courting MAGA as Trump's heir apparent while not ruining his chances with the greater electorate.

I am no rocket surgeon, but I'd say he's not really doing a bang up job with the latter. thank fuck.

I wouldn’t think so either, but unfortunately, as the 2024 election showed, the memories of many of those among the greater electorate are very, very short.

Rubio was, at least. Sounds like he is the driver of the freeze-out.

Put distance between himself and Trump? Then Trump bashes Vance and MAGA retaliates against Vance.

In other words we're going to steal more money from the working class.

Vance needs trump to die in office.

Vance needs trump to die in office.

Vance's best chance was an incel with bad aim. I don't think he will get get closer to the presidency than the chance that would have given him prior to the election.

Term limits won't do anything but further empower dark money/PACs/billionaires/think tanks/political strategists.

If you limit how long someone can stay in a role, then the background players who don't have term limits only become even more important and the elected office holders become nothing more than puppets to those other, more permanent, players.

Fair. Term limits and no CU then
