Tue Sep 16, 2025, 11:30 AM

at the accelerated rate they are going, even the mid-term is in question............

Voters, especially MAGAot voters should have woken up when Trump was saying: "vote for me, just this one last time, and you will never need to vote again"............WTF did they think he meant by that statement?????????????? MAGAot voting in 2024 was just extra insurance, I truly believe that the voting results in the Swing states was hacked and manipulated by Elon......Trump even publicly stated that Elon had helped with getting the votes because Musk knows a great deal about computers.......

The fact that Trump & Republicans are now throwing Elon and MAGAot voters under the bus, further proves they are no longer needed and will be thrown under the bus. Just like he has done with everyone his entire life, the minute they have outgrown their usefulness.....

Everyone surrounding him has to constantly verbally worship him and build him up.....like his cabinet the last time they met with him.....I got nauseated at hearing each one of them, around the entire table, first telling him how wonderful he was, and praising what a great leader he is......
Each cabinet member trying to out do the praise of the cabinet member(s) before them......I was shocked that all of them didn't get on their knees and open their mouths wide..........

Every time people point away from the problem and to the next election it only gets worse.

Elections are not going to change much— money will.

The reich is focusing on stopping and criminalizing left organizations because money goes to places like ActBlue that help people vote against them.

Votes have to happen at the 🏧 not the ballot box.

I know, it doesn’t make sense. But he’s probably the most effective cult leader since Hitler. Vance (or anyone else, for that matter) doesn’t have it.

I think he's just saying what he's expected to. I think he's a chameleon and changes color with whoever's in charge. When he's in charge he'll be a little more "white bread" and boring. Which is not to say he won't be bad---I think he will---but he has no charisma and will not be able to rally MAGAor get away with the egregious kind of crap the orange slime does.

The only good part would be he probably wouldn't have the retribution list that Trump has. However, Vance is a protege of Peter Thiel. Theil would wind up being the guy pulling all of Vance's puppet strings.

A small cartel of billionaires and conglomerates dominates the U.S. media landscape. Through a history of mergers and acquisitions, they’ve concentrated their control over much of what Americans see, read and hear.

that if something happens to trump and Vance gets put in the presidency, the 2025 crowd will get him to appoint who they want as VP.
Maybe Steven Miller, then the Republican controlled House, would impeach Vance in the morning and in the afternoon the Republican controlled senate would find him guilty.......

At this point, I don't think there is ANY corrupt skulduggery that the Republicans directing things from the shadows, won't do......

He is not the mastermind, nor the controller, behind all this. He is the face of the cult. Thiel, and his disciple, Vance, Miller and a batch of sleazier people, including Putin, some of whom remain in the background, are pulling the strings.

For 24 years HWBush and Cheney/Rumsfeld ran rough shod over the country and our beloved Democracy setting up this coup de gras......
Those in the Shadows directing this shit show are getting more brazen in their actions with every day that passes........

AND, we ain't seen nothing yet, in my opinion...........

I laugh at all the Republican Politicians and those surrounding Trump, scrambling around, biting, kicking, trying to claw themselves into the top 1%, before the hammer falls..........

His health is better. Plus, while Trump is enslaved to his own psychological issues and narcissism, Vance is enslaved to those of the Tech Bros. Vance is harder to manipulate.
