I have a hunch that Vance is going to be treated as little more than a gofer and whipping boy for Dear Leader. Trump didn't seem to care for Pence from the beginning, and I doubt that he'll treat Vance much better, no matter how much Vance brown noses him and kisses his ass. Of course if Trump dies in his second term then Vance will become POTUS, which may be what he's hoping for.
Well, rumor has it that he watches porn and he and his son have an app on their cellphones that allows them to monitor each other's porn use, so yes he may be the perfect Evangelical politician.
In fairness, the media has spent months sanewashing Trump, and they don't even like him.
No way Trump lets a guy who’s so much younger, smarter, more articulate, and most likely a bit more ethically and morally inclined than he get a minute more camera time than necessary.
I wouldn't count on the ethically and morally thing a bit.
Who is Vance--Yea-Like where did he go
Yes he did. You are correct.
I understand, but the bar is quite low.
I've been saying for years that he is the worst since Taney ...He was tilling the soil in preparation for this crisis years before Trump came on the scene
It is a fascinating - and frightening - question. Knowing what everyone knows about Trump and how he tried to prevent his eviction from the White House in January 2021, if things don't look good for the GOP in the 2026 midterm elections, does anyone really doubt that he and Elon and some others would try to use their power to influence or even cancel the elections in some way? The answer is of course they would - there are no restraints on presidential power now, as long as the president claims they're doing something as a part of "national business." If the shit hits the fan and the economy takes a real hit in some way and the Democrats are looking good in 2026, then it's hard to believe that Trump & Company won't use every bit of their power and total control of all three branches of the federal government to keep the Democrats from winning control of even one House of Congress.

As sources say Trump could deport undocumented Chinese first, Asian American groups rush to prep #TurdReichRedux https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/trump-deportations-chinese-nationals-campaign-promise-rcna180212 via @nbcnewsbsky.app
“… Sources close to the Trump campaign said the focus on Chinese nationals was part of a larger transition team plan to potentially end two Biden administration immigration programs and make those who have entered the country but not yet received asylum eligible for deportation. Trump has repeatedly suggested that “military-age” men from China have been preparing to form an army against the United States. …”
Yes, I've been saying that too. But the claim is probably more accurate -- or at least was, before this summer -- as the worst since the Court's modern era (which started sometime around 1900-1910 depending on the classification system). There were a lot of bad justices in the Gilded Age. We don't often hear about their opinions, as they have largely been mooted by events, overruled by statute, or have been gradually overturned over the years by their impracticality. But there were some absolute doozies.
Yes, the best time for a civil war is when you control the drones.
If by under control, do you mean an illegal immigration policy that was voided by the federal courts? Do you mean the policies that allowed the most entrants into the country in two decades, unaffected by the pandemic realities that caused the surge in 2021? What exactly do you mean by "under control"? Separating young children from their families for no reason at all?
It's a contradiction in that they have no principles when it comes to personal choice vs. government overreach.
Precisely.
