@GottaLaff It is my admittedly irrational hope that these two full-on malignant narcissists take each other out in a huge blaze of glory. It doesn’t matter how, just pleaselet it happen! And yes, I know that would leave us with #Vance but I’m beginning to think there isn’t much there there either.
”JD Vance, the vice president, is a wholly owned Peter Thiel project that has been 15 years in the making. He first met Thiel when a student and he owes his entire career, first in finance and then politics, to him.”

"We want someone like #JoeRogan but who cares about #science, #progress, & #democratic values."
OK so nothing like Joe Rogan?
Peter #Thiel: Man unterschätze ihn niemals. Er ist ein Meister-Schachspieler, der strategisch und langfristig denkt. Eine seiner berühmtesten Handlungen - die Zerstörung der Medienseite Gawker, war über Jahre geplant. JD #Vance, der Vizepräsident, ist ein hundertprozentiges Peter Thiel-Projekt, das seit 15 Jahren in Arbeit ist. Er lernte Thiel zum ersten Mal als Student kennen und er verdankt ihm seine gesamte Karriere, zuerst im Finanzwesen und dann in der Politik.

"#Vance showed some mind-numbing ignorance in a recent attempt to downplay reports that his administration has caused...an exodus of expertise leaving the United States’ scientific fields — by suspending research grants and targeting student visa programs."

" a warrantless #wiretap was used on a former aide as part of the probe to find the source of internal leaks, The Guardian reported Tuesday.

“Det har gått drygt två månader sedan…Trumps överfall på…Zelenskyj. … Det hade inte spelat någon roll om Zelenskyj strukit Trump medhårs…och varit älskvärd mot presidentens pitbull JD Vance. Trump och hans hejdukar var ändå ute efter att skada och förnedra. Samma oanständiga behandling har nu…Ramaphosa fått genomlida… Ett…möte mellan två statschefer övergick i ett överfall, som helt klart var planerat.”

‘But #Greenland’s Mineral Resources Minister Naaja Nathanielsen said that despite the American rhetoric, there has been no actual investment from them. She said the deal shows that business negotiations with Europe were progressing more quickly.’
#Trump and #Vance believe they can effortlessly change geopolitics with publicity stunts and pouncing on foreign leaders at press conferences. But the real world doesn’t respond to impatient, greedy and cheap behaviour.
#Communism is normal and you can talk to your friends about it.
Don’t let #McCarthyism from 100 years ago scare you into silence. People’s minds can be changed. Just don’t like, do stupid shit.

Agreed, but I'm not sure #Trump sees it that way. Neither will his spawn, #DonJr.
#Vance's smart move now is to invoke the 25th Amendment and get himself installed as President. TBH, with Trump's mental state and obvious unsuitability for the presidency, I'm a little surprised it's not happened already.
"a radical challenge, of mercy, of compassion that, given Leo’s youth, could last a decade or more, carried out under a name chosen to honor its previous holder, Leo XII, who in his encyclical of the first Gilded Age, 1891’s Rerum Novarum, famously spoke of the eternal duty of the rich to the poor, of capital to labor, and of the machine to the spirit."
