Trump was just the means to an end anyway. Peter Thiel, Heritage Foundation and the Tech bro oligarchs won’t need him soon. He’s their rodeo clown.

Exactly what I’ve been saying for months. T being used. Wonder if he knows it or is too wrapped up being king, thinking he’s untouchable.

It’s hard to guess. On one hand, he’s too stupid to figure it out. On the other hand, he’d have no qualms about making a deal with the devil himself, if it meant he could sit his fat ass in the W.H. for the duration.

constitution says that if a VP can still serve 2 full terms as POTUS after finishing his predecessor's term if it's for <2 years, if they wanted JD to have a shot at 10 years in power...

Trump better watch his back on day 731+

They wish. Trump is the cult leader. He’s the only one who has any chance of holding the maga base together. Trump hasn’t consolidated enough power yet. I don’t think they can promote JD until the opposition from dem governors and the courts can be removed.

He was always a useful idiot. In his first term, it was McConnell & Ryan using him for judges and tax cuts, and Miller & Bannon for everything else. This time it’s Miller and the Project 25 people. He’s happy to sign whatever they put in front of him as long as they keep saying nice things to him.

His boss isn’t going to like this🤣🤣

”Mr. President, some people say they are storing up jugs of their own urine because they are afraid they just won’t have enough to dump on your grave once you die. What do you say to that?”

I snort-laughed at this.

If Tr*mp asks congress to remove him, JD will be gone tomorrow... they'll make up a crime.

Hell of a way to update the Trolley Problem...

It’s going to be a Royale Rumble for control after that ding dong dies. Seriously, Stephen Miller will be getting in JD’s face right off the bat with Kegbreath right behind him.

When was the last time we saw him golf? Last several appearances have been sitting behind a desk.

The rats are baring their teeth.

Trump: Who? Oh JD, he's a terrible Governor who has no control over Chicago

Or resign

It will not compute. 🫥

Are we at the part where Trump decides to remove Vance’s Secret Service protection?

Trump: “some people are saying I should fire JD. I dunno. That’s what some people are saying. I’ll consider it maybe”

Who do you think ordered the assassination attempt on the loser president?

Many reasons why I want him to die but I know a lot of Republicans do not like Vance so that could be a little better.

Nobody likes him. He is not a MAGA princeling; he has no base & he certainly doesn't have The Base. He's a fully-owned subsidiary of Musk & Thiel, & while Trumpublican elites may be impressed by the $$ & its influence, alas there are no Vancepublicans.

My money was on Trump not lasting a year.

The old man ain't gonna like that.

*dies*

I wait with baited breath.

Peter Frankenfurter is about to throw the switch.

Also, RFK Jr. doesn't want you to have any vaccines this fall. Is this some sort of conspiracy?

Karoline Leavitt, waving her crucifix necklace.

I think JD, Miller, and Petey are in league with Satan to knock him off his throne. Does he have a food taster, y'think?

A Vice President can’t be fired by the president. He’s elected, same as the president. He can be impeached, but I doubt trump will encourage that process to the congress, because he’s guilty of so much more. That would be exposed. You may be stuck with him.

Will be interesting how Thiel and Murdoch will keep their low IQ JDV puppet under control for their agenda and not ending in the same ditch as with Felon47 who will be out of the equation very soon. One thing for sure: Messiah effect = poof 💨

The thing is JD. is not low IQ; he is just awful, slimy and dumb.

If donald trump knew how to use a gun that would be the time

🇺🇸 The truth mainstream media won’t tell you → I share it every day here 👉 t.me/+hpHbgt5ipgV...

Yes: Over my dead body!

Seems likely that Trump has a terminal medical condition given that J.D. Vance is talking about it publicly.

Fingers crossed.

Interesting, this statement can be used to undermine the regime. Expound upon "I'm ready to take over ... as soon as you die." You must instill distrust within the enemy, the Bstrd Trump/Miller regime. Any means justifies the desired end!

Let's ask Jake Tapper what are they hiding about trump's health.

“Concealer” by JT available 06/26/26.

Vance won’t truly be ready to be President until he releases his own $Vance shit coin.

Buh bye

“Not if I shoot him on 5th Ave first”

"We are all dying every day. But I will be the best dyer ever. No one's seen a dyer like me. Amazing, dying."

He's already directing Trump (via Miller, or with Miller). If Vance takes Trump's seat, nothing will change in the "administration's" direction, but they'll definitely lose their grip on Congress.

I do suspect that Congress will remember all the powers they have once Vance is POTUS

It might wake up a lot of the maga dummies as well. Or not.

Seems like they're trying to put everything in place so it doesn't matter who is in power once he goes.

I think there’s two differentials: Vance doesn’t have the deranged fans that he can point at individuals to harass and threaten them. Also I suspect the power struggles will be intense regardless of who is POTUS

And on the cult. Vance is NOT a TV star.

i will venmo any reporter who asks this one hundred dollars

So will I - that's $300 smackaroos so far

My Venmo is broken but come on up to the house and I'll get you so wasted you'll think you live here.

😂

Same.

I'm in for $100 for the initial question and $100 first follow up.

I’ll make three.

🙋🏻Four hundred.

count me in

Six.

Seven

Eight.

Yeap.

I’ll put in the chip bag for you all.

Nine.

10!!!

One thousand U.S. dollars & it’s a matching grant: if a 2nd reporter follows up on topic to force it, instead of chasing a rabbit, they also get a payment.

I think you just crowd funded your own Journalism grant!

I heard him say 'HIGH FIVE'

Cushions knows the 🍊💩 isn't going to make it 4 years. Hence the vacations & ridiculous sycophancy. He's biding his time. Vote Blue, folks.

The “heavyweights” in the cabinet (Vought, Noem, Hegseth, Bondi, Rubio, Lutnick, RFK?) and Mike Johnson will be plotting to dispense with Vance and seize power themselves. Grassley is not a contender even tho he’s in the line of succession. Stephen Miller will be lurking.

They’ll toss the Line of Succession as it currently exists. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_...

TBH I suspect the plan is to, upon Trump's death, impeach Vance for murder, regardless of the facts.

This has never happened before has it? Or has it? I recall the eagerness of Haig but…

I was in college when that happened and we spent a lot of time declaring ourselves In Charge for no reason, usually while drunk

that was crazy tbh alexander

I am just watching The Americans for the first time and they covered that time in an episode. I had forgotten about it.

Haig you mean? Yeah.

I was but a (politically aware) child at the time and thought folks did Haig dirty! He didn’t mean it LIKE THAT!

VPs are occasionally put on the spot when there's a health scare -- when Ike had a heart attack I think Nixon got these -- but usually they wave them off a little more gracefully.

Edith Wilson whistles nonchalantly and walks away.

Hitler and von Hindenburg?

I don’t know that one

Kind of a diff situation since Hitler was already chancellor, but von Hindenburg was president of Germany at the time and his death essentially cleared the way for the dictatorship. vH was in his late 80s at the time.

But Hitler and his allies were like chomping at the BIT for that man to expire after they finished exploiting him.

Ah ok

bsky.app/profile/carl...

Perhaps a return trip to Greenland?

is it just me thinking it, or wasn't this always the republicans' plan? take advantage of trump's popularity to take the election then install JD Vance as president as soon as an explainable opportunity arises.

Yep. They are the most cynical, dishonest, venal bunch to ever be in our govt. After Nixon & his bunch that’s saying something.

I’m starting to think my 11/5 date might be too late, I think I’m going to buy a few earlier dates for better coverage in the pool

I would be honored if this happened on my wedding anniversary

9/11 🤞

I used to feel bad for saying stuff like this, but seriously. The sooner the better.

9/11 would be convenient though - already have the inside job memes ready to go

It’s like the movie 🎥 clue who will off him first

When Vance orders a new couch for the Oval Office you know a death announcement is imminent.

And it'll be one of those snazzy La-z Boy couches with built in massage.

Funny, because a poster here today posted, Where is trump?

I will watch this on PPV.

Something is up. This after trump told Fox News that he’s been told “he’s not doing well” and worried about not getting into heaven.

I still believe that Trump will not anoint Vance as his successor.

I'm in for $100

🎶Pop! Goes the bloodvessel.

"He hasn't yet".

uhm… no one would be able to hear its reply cuz of all the cheering & clapping about its upcoming demise. “”Mr. President, JD Vance says he’s ready to take over for you as soon as you die. Any comment?””

"He specified your falling from a great height or undergoing defenestration. Are you planning to avoid White House roofs and windows for the time being?"

''talk to the hand''

"Vote for Democrats, better yet, donate to Democrats. Show your disdain for the make America ghastly again GOP."

“Who’s JD Vance? I don’t remember having a son with that name.”

I feel certain that Donny thinks that JD means Junior Donald.

"Not dead yet" - Monty Python

It’s not just Vance eager for him to fall off the perch!

That's why Dumbass Donald is up all night texting on Truth Social. He doesn't dare go to sleep with J.D. skulking around or maybe the Secret Service has turned on him. I wonder if he has a food taster...hmmmm maybe paranoia is setting in with the dementia....who can you trust, Don😱

You're not allowed to talk about the kings death

It is harder to imagine a worse President than Trump but a Vance Presidency would be horrible

"And your sons, daughter, son-in-law...aaah, they'll hafta go..."

The White House Staff better start applying Scotch Guardbon every sofa in the complex or there's going to be some stains

You think JD KushinPush is gonna WAIT for Dumald to stop breathing?… With the 25thAmend sitting RIGHT THERE?… Vance is waiting for Dumald to start speaking in tongues/drooling into his Cheerios. THEN JD’ll drop the hammer on Dumalds mushy lil’ brain.

It sure looks & sounds like he's been told he's got something fatal, & word's gotten out in DC. He acts like it. & the circling sharks are acting like it.

I have shared before that I make it a strict personal ethic to not celebrate, welcome, invite, or cheer at death, no matter whose death is under discussion. If these present musings manifest into that reality, I shall endure the most difficult test of that ethic I anticipate occurring in my life.

Maybe you will find this useful. Thinkers fancier than you or I have contemplated this dilemma. 😉 Imprecatory prayer, wishing harm/death/curses on another person is not ok. Deprecatory prayer, asking God to deliver us from some evil, in whatever way God deems best, is ok. & thus, I have my path. 😇

Though I am an atheist, there are certainly non-supernatural analogues to prayer!

😆 Oh, this totally fits for a non-religious approach. I just think it's great fun contemplating that religious scholars in the past have not only wished someone [you know], but wrestled with it enough to have *terms of art* for *how* to ethically wish someone [you know]. 😆😆😆

And it's not just that One Special Boy. All of 'em are awful. Grrrrrr.....

Not celebrating, welcoming, inviting or cheering death is an honorable ethic. However, the end of the suffering (and death!) the Orange Menace has caused millions will be worthy of celebrating. I believe in karma so I believe he will get the eternity he deserves.

😉 Read down...

I...meanwhile and researching brass bands...

my neighbor's daughter owns a food truck and if it's in the budget...

Is...is Trump gonna lose his shit on Vance and fire him? Could it be possible that we're gonna get a President Kid Rock?

Wait for Section 4 to be enacted that Allows the Vice President and a majority of the principal officers of the executive departments (or another body established by Congress) to declare the President unable to discharge the powers and duties of their office.

Or, worse, Laura Loomer.

First female president and first Jewish president? Bonus!

Did you ever pass a Constitution test in high school? The president cannot fire the vice president!!

You are good at social media.

VP can’t be fired. not sure if that’s a good or bad thing in this case

Wanna bet?

Send him on a "mission" in Syria and order his protection to stay home. Problem solved.

How David got rid of Uriah.

Yes, I know.

As you know, Bob.

He can be impeached. Don’t think for one minute Trump wouldn’t try it.

More like VP Ivanka

God, please let this happen on camera.

Maybe J D stands for Just Die

EVERYONE needs to ask him that. Get him paranoid. And angry in THAT direction. THIS is how we got him to get rid of Bannon the first time around. THIS could start things unravelling for these evil moronic trolls.

possible answers: "I don't know anything about that" "He's a good guy, a GREAT guy, his wife is Indian, I am not happy with Modi's war"

I hope that question was couched appropriately.

Snap!

Cushion the blow

“And that, kids, is how a vice president ended up choosing between becoming ambassador to Nepal or chief lab rat in the health secretary’s personal lab.”

😂😆🤣

JD Vance:

Vance won't have dementia to claim as a root cause to fall back on when he continues to say or do something idiotic.

“He couched it in general terms.”

Melania, asking for a friend.

I'm in for a cool $50

In

“Mr. President, many people are saying that you were not rich or famous enough to go to Epstein Island. Any comment?”

These are the kind of rumors that need to start. However, I would tweak it and add Stephen Miller. Make it a great, nefarious story, and get it started on X. And keep it going.

I just found a new house for Stephen Miller.

"Biden just shit my pants."

Trump firing Vance would be an incredibly amusing development.

That would definitely put a wrench in the gears.

He absolutely cannot do that, constitutionally speaking. So yes, incredibly amusing, as he'd try anyway.

He also can't currently be President according to the 14th amendment but here we are.

And we sure as hell don’t want Johnson. Truly frightening to think that muppet is third in line

Apologies to Muppets and to the late Jim Henson

Yeah, we don't want anything to happen until Jeffries becomes Speaker.

Just picture the Johnson presidency

That would be amusing! Has a president ever replaced their VP?(Even after only after 6-7 months?) He DID say he can do anything he wants because he's president of the United States. 🙄🤮

I don't think they can. Vice Presidents are elected, unlike Cabinet secretaries, etc.

I'm sure you're right. That doesn't stop Trump though. 😂 He's quite a rebellious & tyrannical "above the law" leader. NO RULES BUT HIS RULES! I honestly don't think it will happen unless Trump feels he is being VERY disloyal. Basically, it was a joke. 😋

Likely true. But there hasn’t stopped him from firing a bunch of other people he has no Constitutional right to fire either.

Trump would say he has the power. It's seems almost like everything he's done is unconstitutional.

I want Vance to stay where he is. Have you seen that guy talk? No way in hell he can get the GOP aligned on anything.

but but "he can't do that" !!

He can’t fire JD, but he can let him do nothing except preside over the Senate & in his spare time, inventory the DoD’s paper clips.

That is correct. Vance would have to be impeached for something to be removed. The VP is technically and elected official.

But would Vance resign if Trump told him to?

LOL I'd love to see Trump try to fire Vance, transforming Vance into the hero we all didn't want or need

You know something is wrong with Trump, these dipshits can not not telegraph every secret that have. 🥂

got about a dozen Trump NFTs to throw in

JD Vance has been plotting for this moment his entire life mentally with Peter Thiel and all the other billionaires spending their dark money to create his political career out of nothing. It is not talked enough about how JD Vance actually has no experience in the public service whatsoever

Earlier today I made a terrible sketch where I got to use the phrase, "Trump's moist, hollowed out, partially taxidermied corpse." bsky.app/profile/mani...

bsky.app/profile/carl...

Who will Vance pick for VP

Stephen The Goon Miller

They’re leaking this because they know trump is collapsing and they want to minimize the shock when he actually pulls an Elvis and JD Couch is the president of the divided states.

“On 25 April, Trump issued a telegram to Vance telling him that he had committed "high treason" and gave him the option of resigning all of his offices "for reasons of health", in exchange for his life. Vance subsequently resigned.”
