Can that stupid fucker just die of a stroke? Please? Pretty please?
No not die, become paralyzed and live on for 20 years.
In jail.
Come on Mickey D’s, do your thing already
I'm buying extra fireworks this year to save for the day.
So Vance is in charge? How is that going to help?
I do wonder if Vance would stop the Iran war if Trump died.
He holds some pretty nasty views, but I don't think he's anywhere near as insane as Trump. There was an interview during Trump #1 where he actually disagreed with quite a bit of Trump's shit IIRC.
That doesn't mean that I think he'd be a good president or that he's a good human being. Just that he might be quite different than Trump. Probably continue or accelerate the ICE bullshit, but maybe stop the stupid ass war in Iran?
Same handlers — same puppet masters
The Iran War seems likely to be a result of Trump's fancy though, not a move chosen by Trump's puppeteers.
While Vance is a puppet of Thiel, this is not a zero sum game. Vance would probably do less damage than Trump.
It was chosen by Netanyahu, who has been pishing for it for a long time. Trump's people are just the first US administration stupid enough to agree to do it without realizing what he's getting them into.
Maybe, but that Mountain Dew mouthed couch fucking ozempic addict is another sadist nonetheless. #brandnewsentence
trump's handlers only care about 2 things, securing the reigns of power and gaming to stock/futures markets. every republican administration the last 50 years has started a war...
I don't know, war with Iran has been on the agenda for at least the last 20 years.
Everybody but Trump knew that Iran would close the strait of Hormuz. Which made it incredibly stupid to go to war with Iran. For reasons which are right now self evident, not that they were not evident before.
So no, nobody but a mentally declining idiot like Trump would have gone to war with Iran.
MAGA won't let Vance shit in their mouths. That's how.
MAGA dies with trump. It isn't a movement that moves without him. It's about him. It's not a brand. It's narcissism personified.
He even said so himself. "They're not MAGA, I am." -Donald J. Trump.
MAGA is dying anyway, and Vance is as well placed as anyone to be the face of the 'new' Republicans.
There are a handful queueing upto replace him though.
His funeral, whenever it happens, will be the most bizarre event. There will be people in mourning and people celebrating. I fear that many people will be injured and even killed on that day in US. In the rest of the world just people celebrating.
It’s either that that stain goes, or I go. I start to be seeing enough of this world.
What the Epstein List is he doing?
Ludicrous claims, rambling non-sequiturs, and outright lies; sounds like anyone who tuned in got exactly what they could have expected.
What do you mean no end in sight? He said 2 to 3 weeks 🤔
He also said 2 to 3 weeks 4 and a half weeks ago. So I’d say given the current trend, ‘no end in sight’ is probably a realistic evaluation.
When he says anything will happen in 2-3 weeks, he means the next news cycle in 2-3 weeks should distract you from his total failure to do what he said.
True, and that's the joke.
Thank you, finally somebody who gets me
Remember when he said his amazing new healthcare plan to replace the ACA was "coming soon"? That was 10 years ago.
Everything is 2-3 weeks away. 10 years from now, it will still be 2-3 weeks away.
Just like fusion
INFRASTRUCTURE WEEK, BAYBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
2 to 3 weeks is the extent of his long term memory, no end in sight just means longer than that for him.
The war is scheduled to end during infrastructure week, actually
The rise in gasoline prices due to the effects of the war in the Middle East is sparking increased interest among consumers in electrified vehicles, according to new data released this week by car shopping site CarGurus.com.
But that interest isn’t likely to pay the dividend of a sustained spike in sales of battery electric cars, trucks or SUVs if the war ends soon and gas prices recede.
"It's kind of described as kind of a sugar rush,” observed Kevin Roberts, director of economic and market intelligence for CarGurus, in an interview. “Consumers are highly interested in fuel efficient vehicles when gas prices are going up or at a certain elevated point. Historically, we've seen that as soon as gas prices start to come down, consumers tend to go back to what they like previously, which tends to be large, large SUVs and pickup trucks.”
That view echoes comments from Cox Automotive executive analyst Erin Keating who declared during a webcast March 25, “the one genie that often goes back in the bottle is gas prices. If tensions de-escalate tomorrow and gas stabilizes at, say, $2.80, the urgency to switch power trains fades quickly. This isn't a permanent shift in consumer preference, yet. It's a conditional response to conditions that may or may not persist.”
Meanwhile, in Washington:
Trump delivers jaw-dropping and slurred Iran address that offers no end in sight to unpopular war
I think that the real problem for Trump is going to be getting an AUMF from Congress, but if we assume that the conflict does manage to continue...
Wrong, this is the moment that will create a permanent market for EVs forever, and eventually replace internal combustion vehicles altogether.
Older people have known for a long time that you can never trust oil prices to stay stable, ANYTHING can drive them up, even just a regular holiday weekend. This is a wake up call to everyone else. This happens regularly, and if we recover from this one, it will just happen again in a few years, and a few years after that. It NEVER goes down, just up.
Gas prices are now rising to a point where EVs really make sense, and are going to offer peace of mind going forward.
But then what happens when electricity is captured by barrons similar to oil? Do we move onto solar-powered or wind-powered car batteries? Hydrogen? Cause those are the only natural fuel resources that have yet to be captured because, y'know, they're natural. Shillionaire oil tycoons can't monopolize the wind, the sun, or hydrogen.
Unless, that is, they continue to fuck up the planet to the point where those resources become scarce.
I can put solar panels on my roof to charge my car, and run my house. How is some Sociopathic Oligarch going to interfere with that?
Did you get a permit for that?
No? Well, I guess we'll have to tear it down.
Does that mean he’s going blind?
