Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

I'm willing to bet Vance doesn't get the blind worship that Trump gets from his followers.
It's a cult of personality, and Vance has all the charisma and personality of a couch.
And Trump has the personality of a sleezy used car salesman but apparently a lot of people are into that
Right, and Vance absolutely can not emulate it.
Poor man's idea of a rich man. Idiot's idea of a businessman. Weak man's idea of a strong man.
Couch is his preference, not his personality. I'd describe it more as toad-like.
That's a roundabout way to tell him to go fuck himself.
He might unite the country in hating him.
Dude George W Bush was their guy two elections in a row.
There people are mindless lampreys just looking to latch onto anything that promises to hurt brown people.
Nobody was flying George Bush flags on their pickup trucks though. He didn't have the same cult of personality.
Nah, I remember seeing many “W” flags on bro dozers. It’s the same awful people.
They're like geese, they'll follow anything that waddles in front of them.
I think its too late to hope on that point, maybe if they all fall to infighting between the tech bro, christian nationalist, and groyper factions they'll tear themselves apart but he would have to be removed very soon for the country to be salvaged into anything resembling the one we knew growing up
Also Vance is going to live long enough to face consequences.
JD can get removed after Trump as well. Same goes for porno Mike... And for anyone that goes against humanity.
When one of them go, they're all going to go. The whole shithouse will go up in flames.
That's the correct approach. Keep calling out the obvious dementia, the guy's barely a vegetable. Just look at the recent speech with the generals , the orange turd is unrecognisable, he barely moves.
Also mentioning that you are concerned about his health can help to prevent people from immediately going up in arms by appealing to their empathy (no matter how twisted it is in their heads).
And then what? Vance taking power is not what you'd want, I believe
Couch fucking loser is better than the Cult leader.
Cults fall apart once their cunt leader dies.
Not always, but usually. We can hope!

That microphone placement is hilarious. Every single time, it's in front of his mouth. He must not have had a mini stroke in a while though, it looks pretty good.
Full speeches: Trump, Hegseth address military leaders at rare meeting in Quantico
That microphone placement is hilarious. Every single time, it’s in front of his mouth.
It's learned behavior. It's how he speaks into Putin's microphone.
But yeah, he has been sounding increasingly mush-mouthed lately.
He shouldn't be removed for dementia, he should be removed for treason and prosecuted as such. Along with all his goons.
Need more to join him in being patriots and standing up to fascist tyranny
The short version is that they find the president no longer fit to carry out his duties as president
The only way Trump is going out is if we the people force him out. I’m open to other suggestions but a general strike is the only way I can see that is realistic.
The only way he's going out is with a bullet or a massive stroke/ heart attack
Come on, just a few more big Macs...

Pritzker/Trump UFC match when?
Remove this president from office. I'm tired of all the rest of the suits on the hill pretending this guy is serious. He is a Mistake.
Sorry, Trump can't fight on this occasion on account of the bonespurs.
I know lots of tankies like to jump in and help the qons out by claiming Russia was a "hoax" when it comes to Taco.
But let's look at the outcomes - if you were one of our enemies, including Russia, you would be beside yourself in how much damage Taco is doing to this country.
It's pretty obvious that Russia owns Trump, but the legitimate evidence of Russian links gathered by Mueller only landed on members of his staff. Even that was soured by suspect evidence (servers in Trump tower, Steele dossier, wikileaks sources, fusion GPS meeting Natalia Veselnitskaya).
he's copying tactics of Vladimir Putin
Fuck Putin, but he didn't order the army into cities... Unless we count wars, like literally war conflicts, not the made up shit about antifa occupied Los Angeles.
That's because putin has already established control, meanwhile, trump is a wannabe dictator that still can't get 100% support yet, so he is desperate to project power.
Look up the 2011-2013 Russia protests. He used the police, not the army, and used them to raid and arrest his opposition.

Impeachment is a lower hurdle and more appropriate. But it's no more likely than the 25th being invoked.
I remember in like 2014 people were saying that Putin had syphallis or dementia or whatever and "wouldn't last long" in power
… so the assumption is that Vance will be better?
25th or 2nd.
