The thing about watching a JD Vance speech is that everyone knows he’s a little pig man. Everyone knows he exists to squeal for Trump‘s amusement. No one respects him and he clearly doesn’t respect himself.

The minimum demand should be another election, one where Musk & his buddies are surveiled. Trump or Vance, they both will dance to the same tune.

brandonbird.bsky.social•14 days ago

Removing Trump doesn't solve every problem, but it would solve a number of them!

eyeswidecurious.bsky.social•14 days ago

You think maybe this thread should be moved over to Signal?

lonnietoft.bsky.social•14 days ago

Agreed. President Vance is the first step out of this hell. Even MAGA knows he’s a slimy opportunist and hate him more for having a brown wife and children. The cult dies when Trump dies.

elsiejay.bsky.social•14 days ago

He doesn’t have command of the cult like Trump does. His ideas are just as dangerous, but nobody is afraid of his “followers.”

churchillsarrow.bsky.social•14 days ago

VP Thiel will be a dangerous option.

ctrltxquilting.bsky.social•14 days ago

How much worse can it get with Vance? He doesn’t have the control over the party that Trump does.

melaniemac73.bsky.social•14 days ago

And a guy who fucked a couch

davidbburke.bsky.social•14 days ago

You mean "again"?

alexqgb.bsky.social•14 days ago

It’s also a lot scarier to be a jerk when the person who handpicked you just got run out of town on a rail.

holmskjell.bsky.social•14 days ago

If Congress can find the balls to actually turf the former guy, they can turf Vance, too.

chanticleer.com•14 days ago

If Vance doesn't get the message, we impeach and remove him too. You don't get just one Impeachment Chit every four years.

hahnyock.bsky.social•14 days ago

There’s no heir apparent in that cult. It’ll be a Lord of the Flies scene when he croaks.

ryanfrishkorn.com•14 days ago

It doesn't matter anyway. One after the other. Vance wants to violate the Constitution also? Fine. We'll go down the line and throw out the lot. You don't quit the fight against a hydra just because it has more than one head.

metaomicsnerd.bsky.social•14 days ago

why not both

greysamongstus.bsky.social•14 days ago

Russia doesn't own Vance, and neither does Musk. If Cheetah Man collapses from a McDonald's induced stroke, that would be the end of the only person Vance is beholden to.

azraelnewtype.bsky.social•14 days ago

Thiel owns Vance.

bippity.bsky.social•14 days ago

They really shouldn’t have signed onto a 70+ yo demigod.

ceindeed.bsky.social•14 days ago

This is truly a case of cutting off the head of the snake.
Whenever Trump is gone, this nonsense is reduced by half, at minimum.
Vance, Johnson, Rubio, DeSantis, whoever… they have zero appeal.
They are all just Trump hangers on.
Trump is the greatest conman in U.S. history.

jscram3254.bsky.social•14 days ago

Impeach them both, nobody listens to new President Mike Johnson and the smaller Republican majority in the House shrinks and tears itself apart.

dell-adams.bsky.social•14 days ago

If there's an impeachment, Hakeem Jeffries is already Speaker

jscram3254.bsky.social•14 days ago

That’s fair.

deadcarl.bsky.social•14 days ago

If Vance does the same things Trump does, he must also be removed.

parisien.gay•14 days ago

And this will continue until someone upholds the constitution and liberal democracy

vibr84me.bsky.social•14 days ago

You need to remove them all - it's time to get off your collective asses - do a full on country strike - no work - nadda. March up to the state and fed and remove them all. Call a new fair election with the majority vote not the stupid bullshit from the 1800's

kozmikkylekelly.bsky.social•14 days ago

Yeah, one on the hand he's arguably worse in that he's genuinely conservative, on the other... Well, like you said, no one likes him. I think I can better ride out a Vance term.

adrianelizabeth.bsky.social•14 days ago

Vance is the Reek of the Trump Administration.

finagle-a-hegel.bsky.social•14 days ago

When we say a guy like that has no juice, we don't just mean among the electorate. He has no authority anyone recognizes even as president; all the goons around him will set up various vizier group chats to undermine him and pursue their own projects

heidiotoo.bsky.social•14 days ago

The daily faceplants would be so comical that maybe even the republicans would remember they were born with fully intact spines.

cfaller96.bsky.social•14 days ago

IMO it’s the minimum demand to head off war with Canada. I wish I was joking.

genie4ss.bsky.social•14 days ago

I'm hoping for the full bingo card

the1quiet1.bsky.social•14 days ago

Last summer when I asked my friend who lives in Ohio who jd was he replied that he was “a snively first term senator”

sleepyzane.bsky.social•14 days ago

Also like yes then remove Vance too it’s simply a matter of time. If you can remove the pres you can remove someone who used to be veep. That’s doing the work that needs to be done. It would never stop at trump anyway.

sazeracla.bsky.social•14 days ago

The couchfucking mascara panda? Fuck that asshole.

bishopwhitewind.bsky.social•14 days ago

My 3-year-old daughter could take Vance. Think we'd be all right taking off that trash as well.

anniverse.bsky.social•14 days ago

Exactly, remove Trump and the cult fractures

mikepalmedo.bsky.social•14 days ago

Vance can't support the cult of personality.

dramaticowl.bsky.social•14 days ago

This too

lucywelshie.bsky.social•14 days ago

Or the wife.

kevincarson1.bsky.social•13 days ago

And the bare fact of Trump's removal will further weaken Vance in the eyes of the military, and the other institutions he relies on to consolidate power, as well as undermining his aura of power in the eyes of the public.

mullinshere.bsky.social•14 days ago

Vance wants it very badly. Having so compromised themselves with Trump, I'm not sure the party will revert to an independence Vance takes over. I'm not arguing against impeachment, but don't assume: they've all prostituted themselves. Vance would have the codes, definitely without the temperament.

mullinshere.bsky.social•14 days ago

*any independence

I so want an edit button.

suzpor.bsky.social•14 days ago

In some ways, Vance is like the Felon (e.g., eye liner use), but worse in others (has ability to spew Nazi party lines by memory while 47 has no actual memory). Both are genuine creepers, though.

closereading.bsky.social•14 days ago

The fear is in/about the context/content of the expression of Vance’s character.

He’s an educated and articulate fool, who will do/say anything for *his* “community”. But a liar has a community of one - which will do/say anything, for power, creating dangerous conditions for everyone else.

erbeckman.bsky.social•14 days ago

Having come to power in such a manor might have a sobering effect on the VP, too

steelphoenix78.bsky.social•14 days ago

Not to mention that the way I see it, given the choice between two assholes to have control of our nuclear arsenal, we'd be better off if it was the asshole who *doesn't* have frontotemporal dementia.

gmhird.bsky.social•14 days ago

You need to add Bondi, Patel, Hegseth and RFK Jr. to really reduce the nightmare.

scrivto.bsky.social•13 days ago

it isn't vance one fears. its the super rich dipshits behind him in the shadows and the not so shadows. thiel, sacks, musk again, andreeson, et al. silicon valley rich boys who want to rule the world from their yachts...

This requires as a consequence, the exchange of leadership to democrats.

lraff1.bsky.social•14 days ago

This.
