    …and the same people who call the Democratic Party “chaotic” for replacing Biden with Kamala will have no problem shifting gears to adore whatever wretched troll they scrounge up to replace Vance.

    It’s clear Trump picked Vance to counter Harris, so if she’s no longer the VP side of the ticket, Vance is literally pointless. Ohio was going to vote Trump regardless, Vance doesn’t bring any added votes that way.

    He needs to wait and see who Harris picks as V.P. though.

          Yep, pretty much every time we’ve assumed the rules are black and white, trump finds and exploits the grey. He’s pretty skilled there, in a slimeball sort of way.

    So, now that JD has provided contacts to the Silicon Valley billionaires and proven to be an iron ball on Trumps feet, he can be replaced?

    I wonder how much dirty laundry he culd wash from all the stuff he has already seen inside the campaign…

    Hey, with all this talk of unity and how the Democrats should be picking a Republican to run on some kind of centrist wet-dream ticket, how about the “liberal media” starts beating the drum for donnie to kick JD off the ticket and add someone like AOC to the ticket?

    You know: for “unity”. For the tone - the Republicans should be utterly capitulating to the Democratic Party.

    Why does no one in the corporate media ever suggest it is the Republican Party that should cave to the leftist majority in this country, but instead, the reverse is something that comes up. All. The. Time.

    Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies that can’t complete a coherent sentence is scared. He’s looking really bad, the dementia is really getting to him. He picked a VP that he forgot was openly talking shit about him and loves fucking couches. He needs to just drop out, it’s embarrassing.

      I’m with you except for the fucking couches part. It was a joke someone on Twitter said that had no basis in reality (AP fact checked), and repeating it, knowing its not true, is the behavior of a bully.

      Call him a fascist because that’s what he is, not some made up insult with no basis in reality.

            They’re just mad because it’s possible he put his hot meat in a love seat. You never know, people have definitely done crazier shit.

            Trump likely had lots of Epstein Island frequent flyer punch cards. Wish there was more documentation on the atrocities he likely committed there.

            It would make sexing a sofa seem so silly.

        I’ve yet to see him deny being a couch fucker and the AP retracted their correction when someone pointed out that they can’t prove he never fucked a couch. If this bullying causes him to leave the campaign, then it’s working as intended. Along with being a couch fucker, JD Vance is, like all Republicans, a spineless weasel obsessed with acquiring power any way he can.

        Is calling Vance a couch fucker any worse than Republicans alleging that Harris slept her way to the top?

          still the behavior of a bully. Might work in the short term but in the long term everyone hates the bully regardless if it the ends seem to justify the means.

          No, it’s the same thing. Accusing people of things you know they didn’t do is the sign of an asshole. We should be better than that.

            Here’s the thing, though: I don’t know he didn’t, at some point in his life, stroke himself off using a particularly soft and giving piece of furniture. Teenage boys are weird and horny. Until he addresses the issue himself, we can’t say he isn’t a couch fucker.

            Why should we be better than that? How does that win elections?

            We should be better than that? We keep doing that. We keep taking it on the chin and taking the high road. The high road got us Dementia Don. I’m fine with throwing some of their shit right back at them. Does it make me an asshole? Honestly, I don’t care. I’m over the republikkklowns, and I’m ready for our country to progress again. Fuck that couch fucker and the elephant he rode in on. Fuck the Russians that are out spewing bullshit propaganda along with the assets they have that have managed to get elected. While I’m at it, FUCK anyone voting for them. You’re a piece of shit if you do, there is no argument, no defense.

        I’m actually fine with bullying fascists though. It’s not like theyre gonna take your civility as an example to follow, and if this bullying also messes up their plans then even better.

        Bullying fascists is already being civil tbh, its still far nicer than what they deserve

          Then harass him for things he’s actually done! There are plenty of them. You weaken your argument against him by ignoring the valid criticisms and making up ridiculous ones.

          “Don’t they have any real criticism?!”

          Yes, we do! We have lots! Let’s use it.

            I get what you’re saying but I’ve had quite enough of the high road. You realize as much as i that it doesn’t work. Not everything has to be a goldarn calculation. I can destroy their argument and then their ego. With any tool i care to use. If somehow a schoolyard rumor is the fuckin trick to crack their will to ruin my democracy ill use it, watch their lil faces twist, and ill sleep super sound at night.

              So while I am amused by the whole gag, I would say it’s less about the “high” road and more about the fact that the “low” road may not work. Fox News was low-roading all over Obama, making up crap and trying to make a deal out of nothing. It never really impacted Obama’s popularity, as anyone vaguely on the fence saw it and said “ok, this is stupid, if that’s all Fox News can come up with, then I guess there’s nothing to find”.

      No, that’d almost certainly be a tactical mistake since it’d lend enough credibility to the claim to get those cases to the Supreme Court and then they’d just rule in favor of Trump in all circumstances… it’d be hard to overrule the court in a situation like that with a deadline for picking an executive and the Supreme Court has shown it’s now gloves off crazy mode… no more “we’re independent jurists”.

        Plus any legal cases of you can’t change your nominee from Biden, weaken a lot if Dump switches his VP. Of course any case against not letting them switch out Biden is already dead in the water if heard by a rational non corrupt court… So nevermind actually
