    Under fire…

    Republicans mock veterans every day and veterans and others who put stupid bumper stickers on their cars still vote for Republicans in droves.

    None of this matters to then because he’s got the hard R.

          Very few people who are on fire live long. Wishing someone on fire or dead is something he does daily. I have no urge to be anything like him.

    Vance knows better. His pre-VP quotes and his education show as much. Vance is a special kind of evil. He traded his conscience for power.

    He’s also not Trump. The cultists won’t follow him to the same depths of depravity.

      It’s nice that you think that, Vance has zero charisma. Without Peter Thiel, Vance would still be a nobody in Ohio with a different name, but still fucking couches.

      Vance might be next in line if Trump dies, but that’s literally the only way for him to sit in the big chair.

      He’s just as disposable to Trump as Pence was, and Trump who is jealous of power, has actually put in effort to keep anyone from being named heir apparent, because that would mean sharing even a scrap of power.

      No, Trump will keep pitting his followers against each other until he dies, at which point he doesn’t care if the world ends.

      It’s the reason his kids aren’t involved in the administration this time around. If Trump is unwilling to share power with his own children, what chance does a spineless sack like Vance have?

          Literally all of them.

          He’s married to an Indian Hindu woman. MAGA isn’t okay with that.

          They constantly call him a race mixer. And worse.

        We’re all probably already on watchlists and the owner is running a botnet for reasons.

        I really didn’t care about being a part of that person’s bonnet either, assuming their stated reasoning, for my own reasons; but if you’re going to be on the watchlists and get locked up or killed, there are worthy protests about, if you are near any.

      Which is fine, archive.org is better since the people running it aren’t running a botnet.

      It also has the way back machine that is also better.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
