After listening to that aged old buzzard and his VERY low energy rant the other day, gotta think there's no way Vance is waiting 3.75 years to replace that decrepit old duffer at the top. I bet the back room whispers have already started, and it will not be a surprise to find Melania behind it all.

Democrats, with few exceptions, have been absolutely pathetic in their lack of a response to the 🍊 felon. Schumer has to go, like yesterday.

So true. So obviously, blatantly true.

If there is just one good thing that this trump monster may leave the world it will probably be that he's making it so easy for future historians to agree on exactly who and what caused the collapse of the great American Empire.The architects of Project 2025 have been plotting the demise for years.

Well said Professor Snyder.
I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

Almost like these animals are following the fascist playback and ticking off each item on the list.
From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.
