even if Rs outwardly don’t like Vance, he’s likely a more reasonable negotiator and if they’re all aligned behind P2025 it may not matter who’s at the helm. In some ways a less flashy Vance might be preferred.

… (I’m also just a causal observer / not an expert in any of this so just rambling fwiw)

That’s fair. But I do think that Trump has done the dirty work for whoever comes next in that coalition. It’s going to be much easier for future MAGAs to do awful things and fly under the radar with it, at least until we can put back some neutral oversight / inspectors general / career folks etc.

I think a JD Vance presidency would concern me more than Trump considering he’s likely much more competent in executing P2025, under Thiels control, and likely would get more done. The mess of incompetency with Trump and his minions could be somewhat helpful in comparison… 🤷‍♂️

wtf is Nate Silver smoking? I used to have some modicum of respect for his insight… is this sign of a brain tumor or something? 😂

Someone should do this with all the banned DEI words.

Of course, you could always use one of Dejoys a private carriers for guaranteed delivery dates… doesn’t the private sector do a better job anyway despite the exorbitant pricing? 😤

But but but… didn’t he find Jesus and TP USA? We mustn’t defame a “man of god” 🤮

We are moving into “failed state” territory with a crazy lunatic fascist leader a la Russia very quickly.

This is how I see him in my head as a hockey player.

(Obviously ai… maybe the only acceptable use is to mock these assholes? 🤷‍♂️ )

Quite literally, he will possibly be injected with little robots. 🤣

Ahhh… someone’s been watching too much Heated Rivalry. He heard “hockey” and could barely container his … excitement

…it really makes me wonder what‘s being used as leverage to strong arm them into supporting the admin… or are these judges just naturally this ideologically hell bent on letting Trump do whatever the fuck he wants? Do you see this going up to SCOTUS eventually or will Boasberg have to drop it?

In my head this is playing out as a bunch of spoiled kids running to their daddy to get them out of trouble every time the teacher attempts to give them detention. I don’t understand how a judge wouldn’t see it in everyone’s interest to find out what happened…

Holy shit that’s incredible! CONGRATS! For every huge concern there are starting to be these trickles of wins and that def give me a lot of hope we can course correct. I saw some other states are going to put it to a vote?

So glad Trump can just call his buddy Vlad to ask him to back off. 🙄

The arrogance of his statement should be enough to stop this sale from happening.

He’s like the cartoon version of a greedy pig, except the cartoon version would try a little harder to be less overt about it.
