I have to wonder if she was gunning for the Trump VP slot, got told she wasn't in consideration and decided she was going to just be the most infuriating person you've ever met as a way to drive up her national profile to run for President in 2028. She's stupid enough to think that would work.

When do Presidential candidates typically pick a VP running mate? :laffo: at Trump not having one, cause it feels super weird watching across the pond that he doesn't have one yet.

LOL Make Ukraine Great Again

When you're right you are right

:lol: I was just reading this article yesterday about how republicans were expecting a backlash for the Ukraine vote but it never materialized: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/30/us/politics/republicans-ukraine-aid-vote.html

One of the things mentioned is that opposition to supporting Ukraine seems to be far more intense from certain lawmakers than from the grassroots. Wonder why that could be.

Usually not until the party convention in late summer or at least the runup to it. We're months off from where it would normally happen.

It’s because VP in trump world is the ultimate gift from Trump to one of his loyalists so he’s going to dangle it for as long as humanly possible before announcing anything. It has nothing to do with how effective the person would be in the role.

I wonder if he even has to, since the constitution has a chain of successors outlined beyond the VP. I expect that there’s a requirement for it, but honestly so much in American politics have been outed as existing through pinky promises and assumptions that it wouldn’t surprise me if the VP slot turned out to be not mandatory.

It is possible that the result would be Harris or her replacement if there is one becoming the VP for Tmurp. At this point some very funny things are possible

this is an odd case because one would expect trump, the GOP incumbent, to have the same VP he had in his last failed race where Biden beat the brakes off him

that became impossible once trump set the feral hogs after Pence to murder him on Jan 6th LMAO

I'm almost certain he's tugging his toadstool over the idea of getting to have Apprentice episodes all over again with people vying for his VP pick. It's the exact kind of nakedly petty dumb bullshit manipulation a narcissist would do to get their fix.

I believe Vance’s joy in life is bullying Republican voters in a way that pleasures them, and also doing what Russia would like. I could even believe he does it out of love for what Russia stands for, not for pay.

You want him to stop it. That is different than the reality of US foreign policy over the past 75 years.

Even if the US openly objected and stopped supplying bombs, Israel is more than capable and produces its own weapons and wiping out the Palestinians is, at this point, a key goal of the Israeli government.

No amount of US opposition is going to stop that, at best it would make them hesitate, but its a good reason to make it such a blunder for the Israeli government that they basically gut future relations with the United States.
