and even if it happened... do they know Vance would get the presidency still? it's not like a immediate election is called after.
Even if Vance is down too, I think it goes to the Senate pro tempore (Charles E. Grassley), then the Speaker of the house, and then his cabinet. so regardless, you will have a republican until 2028, bare minimum.

The Speaker of the House is next in line behind the VP.

Yeah they always forget that part

He also was fine with North Korea building a nuclear reactor as long as they promised not to weaponize it..

He also caused the Pacific rim collapse by convincing the Japanese to devalue their yen. A lot of shit was bought out for peanuts by Clinton corpo buddies, I think.

Plus, martyring Trump(or any in his camp tbf but mainly him or Vance) will likely cause the tepid, middle of the pack types to strongly move right and support any retaliatory actions

It would be a massive own goal cause Vance looks like the type that would get the most bloodthirsty AG he could find.

Not even for himself but to protect his young children.

People forget that Caesar was assassinated not because he was some tyrant, but because he tried to give the common people's councils more power and was becoming insanely popular amongst said people. He was a decent statesman, a decent general, and a surprisingly decent philosopher and learned man (literally invented the modern calendar), effectively one of the few people that fit Plato's philosopher-king standard since Alexander. The senators, effectively ran by an oligarchy of gossipy catty teenage girls petty kings, didn't like that, especially since before he was a relative nobody amongst the aristocracy, with little gold or political power to throw about before his success as a general. So then they crown him because he won a civil war they started, then killed him, then also immediately knew they fucked up after killing him and had to prevent another civil war by basically invoking divine right to rule and crowning Octavius...who then took the name Caesar.

tl;dr senators are retarded no matter what era.

None of this stuff happened.

speak English or prepare to be fined faggot.

I hope it plays out like this.

I want Vance to be elected President in 2028 so bad.

Everyone praising Clinton as some kind of pragmatic Democrat didn't live through the era. That rat bastard sold us out to the EU and China every chance he got, and turned the diplomatic opportunity of a millennium, the dissolution of the USSR, into nothing more than a cash grab for himself and his buddies. He was a piece of shit, through and through, and is fondly remembered solely because falling interest rates and the dot-com boom fueled a period of economic good times.

So much this. He also gave us Madeline (Half)bright, who would later say that the death of half a million Iraqi children was an acceptable price to pay for what America was doing to Iraq (and that was before the post-9-11 Iraq War).

And to give some truth to the "Uniparty" meme, Clinton gave us NAFTA, the same uneven, job-stealing trade deal that Bush 41 was going to give us. (May God bless Ross Perot for speaking out against that and for, FWIW, making Clinton a plurality vote only president).

Christ but these people are so fickle.

They were simping for AoC/Walz 2028 less than 24 hours ago because they are doing some speaking tour or something and now they've already moved onto this rando.

Zero actual principles.

They basically operate like a hivemind, except delayed enough that it can lead to funny results.
Ever since Biden getting yeeted and replaced with Kamala, it's been obvious most support is dictated from on high, and then distributed to the masses with the expectation of absolute loyalty to the new chosen one.

You had people like Harry Sisson screaming, "I would never support the dethroning of Joe Biden. He's my only candidate" to "yaaas Kamala slay" within not even 12 hours.
Their principles are "I will do everything necessary and support whatever reprobate is dictated so long as my team keeps control." It's lunacy.

If its that easy, well, allow me to plant myself in thier office and do a little trolling from the inside

Rassie emerges from his post election hibernation period to break down the destruction of the Democrat Party for us. I can't help but notice the glee in his voice as he reads out the polling numbers for the Dems as they self-immolate.

best quote " wow, it seems that Democrat voters hate the Democrat Party"

It's nothing we didn't already know but it's nice to have actual numbers to back up what we are seeing.

I hate how the government "invested" itself into higher education through predatory loans with these institutions willingly allowing these providers to prey on misinformed students. I hate colleges bloating themselves with useless degrees that undervalue the aspect of education itself. Dishonorable mention to Trump for not following through on existing payment plans FOR student loans prior to his presidency.

I see why our education ranking in the US ranks very low compared to the rest of the world. We're not educating anybody anymore, just brainwashing students.

Schools don’t wanna actually teach kids anything useful anymore. Instead of finance we have to teach about ART and MUSIC and LITERATURE. My god, this is what happens when education is designed for women. What a bunch of fucking children.

My teacher went into explicit detail about a Nazi experiment where they put glass into jewmens dicks and then brought out a hot naked jewess to make their weniers hard which would break the glass in their dicks.

I heard exactly the same torture story, but it was NKVD instead of Nazis. Probably another urban legend.
