He went from picking a guy who was there for mass appeal, especially for evangelicals, to a guy who he joked was a suck-up at a campaign rally. Seems like loyalty above all else is what Trump sees in Vance.

Which is what he -should- be picking for if he actually wants to do what he claims. He will need loyal people in power if he is to actually do damage to the deep state. Ironically, the attempted assassination made that a lot more possible as it means he can ignore a lot of the electoral needs.

Does this mean Trump will become America's first Caesar or does that honor go to his chosen son Baron

I wonder if clown world is cyclical? Like history could be cyclical. Did the 70s seem like clown world to sane people at the time?

Or is the arc of the universe long, but it bends toward clownery?

Honestly I’m gonna go with the idea that “sane” politics is actually an exception. I’m sure what we’re seeing now is small potatoes compared to the most wild things have ever been.

Why do people keep forgetting that, despite being at odds with the Democrat establishment, Gabbard is basically a Bernie Bro?
The only part of her platform that differs significantly from the Bernster is that she cares more about vets.

Well, she’s also been on tour for a few years about the corruption of the democrat party.

At the end of the day I don’t give much of a fuck about a percentage point this way or that on a tax rate and/or what kind of social services people can ring out of it.. the problem is corruption.

Rule of Law is a fucking joke, the government is growing for only the purposes of having nepotism-ready kickback no-show jobs, and to expand oppression. We have a crisis regarding the competency of our administrators.

The other two kids have Scottish and Latin name's, and only one has a more traditional Indian name. And the kid is 4 years old which would predate him even knowing Ramaswamy exists by 2 years.

Not that it necessarily matters but Vivek said they knew each other in law school so it's possible the kid is named after him.

I'm glad Vivek was not picked as a VP. I hope he doesn't feed any suspicious activity into Vance to get into the Trump administration.

Neither? Not out of the realm of possibility but frankly... the Deep State -needs- to be damaged. The federal level administration has become a monstrous beast gorging itself on the flesh of the voter. Entire sections, the majority even, exist soley to propagate themselves and serve no other true purpose or whose purposes have atrophied to such an extent that they easily could be combined to cut down on the sheer, overwhelming bloat.

That's without even getting in to how congress has systematically abdicated the majority of its responsibilities, or how the various three letter agencies have gone so far and beyond their actual mandate as to become hostile domestic entities. If he does nothing else but take a sledgehammer to this beast then he has done the entire -world- a favour.
