      Waiting for a confession of “I was for it before I was against it” for 2028.

      Vance is politically screwed. He hitched his wagon to Trump’s rising star and now he’s stuck in the middle of a river with dysentry and a broken wheel.

        That’s what he gets for being Yarvin and Thiel’s plaything.

        No he’s not. They have the memory of a goldfish. All he has to do is sit back, let fockz nooz blame Dems for everything over the next 2 years and he’ll coast through the primaries

          Yup. The base are utterly clueless and the “independents” are often just as clueless.

          I bet anything they don’t know about his Thiel/Curtis Yarvin connections. Or how he endorsed the book The Unhumans, FFS.

          And I bet few have read The Nerd Reich or have read - or at least read about - The Sovereign Individual…

    No…the reason you lost is because you’re literally a dick head on ever…single…issue that the working people care about.

    It’s as though MAGA and Trump loyalists make a fucking spreadsheet, cross reference it with current events and the opinion of the working class, and then mathematically determine the exact opposite and most infuriating take on it, and then disseminate that out to their social media influencer army.

    Get fucked, Vance.

    So when does Trump flee to Tel Aviv and leave this bumbling couch-fucker in charge? God, that would be hilarious.

      He’s a national security risk. I suspect that other parts of the government will make sure he is strongly-encouraged, in a cell if needed, to stay.

    Just trying to distance himself from the most unpopular part of the current admin so his presidential campaign isn’t a total joke.

    Spoiler: it will be a total joke.

    The reason you lost is Trump. And the GOP being a bunch of Nazis.

      Clearly that wasn’t a problem for most voters when they reelected him. Vance is a douche but he’s right, gas prices were probably the biggest reason even Republican voters voted for Democrats this time around.
