why not Jared his one son(in law) he always wanted?

I was assuming Ivanka would talk Jared out of it, you know considering how dodgy his own finances are and how that went for trump.

She's already had one fortune ruined by a relative going into politics, probably really doesn't want another.

Yeah that seems very low ever for a lackluster campaign. Is he telling people to donate somewhere else at his speeches?

Also just checked the gofundme, it's at almost $806K after four days.

All money he'll never see, lol.

I'd be willing to guess that easily 50% of the funds will inevitably be traced to crime/money laundering and 95% of "6.8K people just donated".

Serious talk: I think she and her husband will stay far the gently caress away from Donald J Trump in the future.

She married into money, and I think even Jared can see that the Trump name is quickly decaying and becoming toxic.

It'll be Tim Scott because he's a useful black guy and didn't fight him at all the way De Santis and Haley did.

He's a malleable stooge and doesn't have the same desparate/crazy stink about him most of the other contenders have.

It's going to be some evangelical that no one has ever heard of before like Mike Johnson or Amy Coney Barrett that has been quietly lurking behind the scenes for years forging alliances with the most awful people on the planet but has very little personal record until you do a shitload of digging and find some really loving weird stuff but no smoking gun.

So basically a lower profile Mike Pence who hasn't given a bunch of people HIV yet but is waiting for their moment to shine. So basically whoever Leonard Leo tells him to nominate because Trump doesn't give two shits. This is highly dependent on how easily Leo is able to squirm out of the SCOTUS immunity ruling.

If he weren't running for Senate, I'd guess Jim Justice. If Trump asked him to, I imagine he'd drop out to be his VP pick. He's got star power (owns a dog) and the sleeper bluedog vote locked in (pushed the covid vaccine) while appealing to traditional republican values (under investigation for corruption).

If any of this is as bad as the reporting makes it sound, this feels catastrophic. The PACs supporting grungo are juggling money between themselves to put out fires and taking in basically nothing. Anything that does come in, and as much of the stockpile as they can snatch up, gets shoveled directly into the flames of Trump's debts. Lmao.

Honestly this is not a bad idea. The bar is so low that this beats out anything proposed (or lack thereof) by either party.

His VP pick will have a max of 2 syllables in their last name, preferably one, because anything more will be interpreted by big brain as taking up too much space on the marquee as it were. I believe in my heart he is that basic and petty.

What if I have a medical emergency in the middle of the night and don't have access to enough chickens to call for an ambulance?

She is dumber than a 4 year old. I guarantee if you asked a 4 year old if they think it'd be a better idea if we switched to a system where, every time they get a tummy ache, they have to run around outside and catch enough chickens first before we see the doctor, they would tell you you're a loving moron immediately.

I pointed this out earlier that in order to win the presidency you need money lots of money like hundreds of millions of dollars worth of money for advertising for grassroot campaigns which are highly effective, for basically everything you need to not only be successful but to improve the down ballot.

Trump doesn't have that The Republicans don't have that Biden will be able to outspend them easily on everything and it should be enough couple that with the fact that Trump will not be on the campaign trail because he's going to be spending every single month in a courthouse and the fact that he is doing nothing to persuade independent voters which he desperately needs and I just don't see a possible path for him.

I know a lot of people who are just sick and tired of Trump including a couple who voted for him in 2020 I don't think this is going to be his year.

But for the LOLs this might be the best year ever.

Use your head. You don't have to deliver the chickens the moment you receive care. They'll bill you for the equivalent of five chickens, and you can send them a promissory chicken note of some kind, perhaps physical tokens that could themselves symbolize or stand in for the value of one chicken.
