  • Just remember that Trump dying would set off an internal power struggle. Nobody likes or give a shit who or what Vance supports, so he would have precisely fuck-all a far as pull in down ballot elections. For whatever reason, the base will slobber over every word trump blurts out so any dissent is crippling in a Republican, that would disappear and every Republican worth the title of ‘politician’ would take advantage of a Vance leadership as a once in a lifetime opportunity out-Trump the competition, but without the centralizing firehose of bullshit trump has been able to use to distract from issues as they come up. Right now trump is able to distract from almost literally any topic by being a force to deal with immediately as he sets other fires to deal with. Vance will have the position, butwon’t have that talent and by virtue of their position no other GOP personality will have the power.

    Basically don’t stop looking forward to a least bad outcome like natural causes.


  • Well, no one has ever said no to him and ‘really’ meant it, or could withstand the frivolous lawsuits he brought against them. All the other times didn’t really happen. One imagines anything that doesn’t match his own warped sense of reality fades very quickly in his mind. The parts of the story where he isn’t the big strong guy are quickly rewritten by the people surrounding him, and they never print out headlines or pictures to remind him about that sort of thing.



  • That is sad in both directions. You’d think coming to and realizing you are a pathetic piece of shit should be some kind of punishment, but then you realize he would probably still get his sadistic pleasure out of remembering all the bodies he stepped on to get to where he is now.

    Really that’s the whole story, in that the world he lives in genuinely rewards greed and disgusting behavior, it’s just that most people have some sense or realization of the shame it involves to get there, and he’s just not equipped with the self reflection it takes for that shame to do anything.




  • It’s only half joking, and this wouldn’t be assumed at the administration but in demonstrating the loopholes in the laws that already exist. Too many people see Republicans doing it and letting them get away with it and look the other way. The idea would be to do things that are disliked but legal, and would make Republicans look weak if they ignore it when the enemy does it.

    I think the left needs to play the game we at once point half jokingly accused trump of. Start committing acts so obviously outside of the intent of the law, but safely within the letter of the law, that the right takes advantage of it and sues our changes the law to tighten the loopholes. Fire people for being Christian, forbid a newspaper from reporting a negative story, publicly accept insider information and bread about how much money you made by knowing when to buy and sell, openly accept a bribe by starting a fake crypto, and cashing out right after a foreign company buys it for a million per coin and then dumps it. Make people understand openly how many hidden rules are free and open for the rich and political and shut them down.







  • Another way to look at it is like having to use Windows because that’s what they use at your job. There’s a problem but because most people are oblivious or don’t care, the momentum is difficult to escape. You may find it easy to say ‘quit you job then’ to fully show your disapproval but not everyone has that luxury.

    I do hope everyone that is stuck using it mentions in every commission or interaction that they are available on different sites as well though.

    Anyone still using it or of convenience though should quit immediately.
