I really don't buy that Vance is in charge of that personally, his handlers will tap him on the shoulder, but when. Are they going to let tmuprhp literally stroke out on stage before they act though, how far can they let it go before the charade falls to peices ? Not gonna be pretty.
But with Trump loading the cabinet with ultraloyalists who have no constituency other than Trump, what are the chances of getting a majority of them to sign on even if Trump crashes and burns? A Musk shadow presidency is more likely.
Did these people break the law? Yes or no? Was there concrete evidence they did so? Were they convicted guilty by a judge and jury? Then they were treated fairly. How does this blatant disregard of truth serve Trump, Vance et al? Infuriating.
IMHO Vance is breaking the news for Trump. They don’t need redneck T2 diabetes MAGA when they have billionaire crypto bro MAGA. Besides there is enough hate to get rid of the brown ppl both don’t like. The bros will import new brown ppl & then old school MAGA will figure it out while picking veggies
Can’t wait to hear Vance’s definition of violence. Overly ambitious Capitol Hill cops? FBI agents who had to shoot a protester? I think I’ll wait for this to play out before I give Vance any credit for logical thinking.
I don’t think he’s going to freeze him out. I think he’s going to resign the office for some made up health reason and Vance will be president. The truth is, Trump doesn’t give a crap about this country and is just looking to line his pockets.
You are absolutely right. He’ll use him like he did Pence. This dysfunction is going to be interesting to watch. Vance is more devious than Pence and will be up to something if Trump does.
JP Mandel is positioning himself for the next impeachment after the Dems gain control of the House & Senate in the midterms; or the 25th Amendment, after Don orders his generals to take Ottawa with boots on the ground…..
They also know that anyone who did engage in violence who’s prematurely released and then commits additional crimes will be featured in Democratic ads just as Bush did to Dukakis in 1988 with Willie Horton.
Vance is just following the P25cartel's orders
He'll be carrying out his puppet master's nefarious plans without the clown's chaos with weeks (more likely days) after Jan20
Trump will be sidelined asap; they'll probably keep him close by to be trotted out when/if his cult gets restless
JD is either going to have to 25th him or ask Master Putin to take him out of he wants the presidency. I agree with Liz Cheney, Trump is not leaving the White House unless it's feet first.
The minute JD Vance does an " in depth" interview ( whatever that means today, on Fox news) Trump will start denigrating him in various ways! It's only a matter of time.
Stumpy the Great Orange Skidmark is an old man. Look at how much Biden has deteriorated in the past four years, and then imagine how Trump's gonna be. Granted, Trump doesn't have to deal with the stress of working hard or caring what happens to people, but senescence is still a thing.
You're absolutely right, I am sure the MAGAt GOP will see the error of their ways and go back to acting constitutionally because Stumpy is going senile.
Trump is doing everything he can to distract the population from what the 2025 Project plans to do. Vance is not helping Trump by giving an interpretation of these rants. Vance et al are counting on Trump collapsing, so that Vance can step in as president.
There won’t be any more elections, remember? Trump promised if we just voted for him this one time, we would never have to vote again. I believe everything Trump says when it comes to preserving his ability to grift on a massive scale while enjoying full presidential immunity. #goodjobamerica
Tromp said ALL who were convicted for their 2021-01-06 behavior would be pardoned. That's > 900 people, some of whom were very violent. If Vance thinks some subset of those 900 were too violent to be released then he seems to be at odds with Tromp. I don't think Tromp will tolerate that.
Start? I am sure that he’s already been told to stay at the kids table more than once. I can hear him reciting, “I am strong, I am no Mike Pence.” But he’ll be near the top of the “dumped” list of sycophants. Seems nobody pays attention to the Tyrant-in-Chief’s MO. Almost makes me sympathetic.
@jenrubin.bsky.social Do you think that Vance might be floating a trial balloon for Trump to check public/MAGA reaction? It would be unusual for Vance to assert himself like this & it seems possible Trump had him say this. Also of note, the only people in hail for J6 are violent criminals.
I don' think so Jen, JD is positioning himself for the transition to the big chair. Trump is going to wake up and find his ownself dead. What do you do with a useful idiot that is no longer useful? Martyr them; this is Cheetolini's fate.
"Vance damn it, I send you out on Sunday to do one thing, to make me look good, not to start making your own sh*t up to cover your a**. Remember, I started a f*cking insurrection and everyone wound up kissing up to me. ME! Mistake to let you out. Nothing but funerals for you from here on."
The last guy in Vance's position had a scaffold built to hang him outside of The Capitol. The rabble came within yards of Pence before he was swept away.
If Vance is saying that some J6ers shouldn’t be pardoned (& they shouldn’t, obviously), not only is this going to cause a wider schism in maga, but specifically Bannon, for whom really is the main propagandist for the maga base

But if the orange felon goes far enough off the rails, something will have to give
And, there's huge SV money that wants Vance in place so they can use him as the puppet he is
This power grab has to be stopped, somehow.
I think Vance will be telling us these were just innocent citizens touring the Capitol building on the "Day of Love"
The guy has been nearly invisible since Elon Musk walked on the scene .
If Vance was asked a follow up question then he’d lie and say none of the rioters were violent or even armed.
And where does inciting violence fall?

Today, that is a very dangerous assumption.
It's not how fascists operate. There WILL be an attempt to circumvent the Constitution, I promise you that.
His last week in office, right before Trump released the hounds…
$ for the truth. Make it free cause we all deserve that.
