    This guy would be our next president, taking the republican party in the succession, if not for his voice. Hard to give a good hitler speech with that impediment, probably a deal breaker with the base. Vance is not going to get it in whichever case. He was chosen because he’s an unlikable cunt so the president wouldn’t be shunted aside for him so quick.

      If RFK Jr runs for president, I’d start to feel okay about history repeating itself.

        Sadly he might be the “best” of the cabinet. Which is to say he is less of a piece of shit than the rest, despite being a massive cynical piece of shit. All the real stuff he talks about, he’s just playing people. Toxic dyes and additives, pesticides, etc. He doesn’t care about any of it, he is just furthering his own interests. The thought that anyone would care about the greater good fills these types of people with scorn, and disbelief. They think everyone else is a selfish piece of shit too, working for selfish goals.

      There’s no shortage of unlikable cunts in the GQP. I have this pet theory that he was chosen specifically because of his fake name. Short, punchy, strong: Vance. Just like Pence.

      Seriously, the fascists are all about projecting an image of strength and power.

        Somehow half the voting population likes these cunts though. Or more accurately dislikes the democrats more than them. No shortage indeed. In fact I would hypothesis that all of their leaders are cunts with only rare exceptions that prove the rule. And those are soon purged after they are outed.

      Vance was paired with his wife by the literal “Tiger Mom” who became their professor at Yale…

      They were meant to be the Republican version of the Clinton’s before Trump showed up and brought white supremacy back into the mainstream.

      They were meant to be the first “woke” Republican generation, and that’s why it so easy for Vance to seem like he’s dropping his wife, it was always a political marriage. They’re both pieces of shit who have spent their whole lives preparing to destroy our country, and neither love or probably even like the other.
