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!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

he dead
J.D. Vance isn't ready to run a Wendy's.
He is ready to run a couch store. Not to be left alone in one, though.
"Sir, this is a country...."
Or even a Desktop cleanup.
LOL that fat fuck Vance has zero charisma, therefore will not be POTUS. Americans want a celebrity.
Thats why he had to put himself next in line, because he could never win himself. Hes gonna do Trump like he did the Pope
Wishing Mr. Vance a speedy transition to power. Preferably like, tonight.
Wishing for the rest of the world he has a speedy transition right back out of power. Preferably like, very slightly later, also tonight.
Just a quick reminder that the next person in the line to become president after the Vice President and the President are no longer able to perform the job is the Speaker of the House.
I thereby direct you to take a look at who the Speaker of the House is currently.
It's shit heads all the way down.
It is very unlikely to ever get to the speaker. Everyone in the line doesn't move up one. If trump dies, vance becomes president but Johnson doesn't suddenly ascend to vp. Vance selects a new vp that I believe needs senate confirmation.
Not really. Trump and Vance would have to both die at essentially the same time for the role to be given to the speaker. In any other situation, Vance would become president and then nominate a new VP.
A new vice president has to be confirmed by the Senate. That takes time.
The cure is the same regardless of how many Nazis step up to fill the role of their fallen accomplices.

Does he know that being the current US President needs to suck Putin's dick? Does he understand that?
I've no doubt he can fit Putin's dick in there along with Peter Thiel's.
He can't wait, got his technique down and all.
I mean we saw him at the meeting with Zelenskyy. He's got callouses on his knees already.
I mean, yeah, probably the thing he's best at
it's his turn 🙏
I mean, that's his job, right? Like, his one definite real job? He's "ready"? I should fucking hope so.
He certainly doesn't seem to be doing anything else useful...and I'm glad of that. A competent Vance would be far worse than what America has now.
I can't wait to see South Park having to put their version of Vance into the Oval Office.
This is a direct admission that Trump is gonna die soon
Evil people always last longer than you think. I'm not sure whether Trump is actually evil or the evil is a byproduct of extreme narcissism combined with staggering stupidity.
I heard a theory the other day that the thing that makes Trump Trump is that he speaks on a fourth grade level because he's just that dumb. He politically engages people who are too ignorant and disinterested in politics to do more than check Trump's name and ignore other Republican candidates. I saw it here in my own state where was something like an 800k vote discrepancy between Trump and conservative Supreme Court candidates. It's why districts that Trump won by double digits flip hard for Dems in special election's and non-presidential elections.
What that means is, when Trump dies, the Republican Party is pretty much fucked if they haven't achieved full on fascism by then. I'm not smart enough to know whether that theory is correct, but I really want it to be.
Evil is the absence of empathy, they are all most definitely evil.

Hint here could go one of two ways. First is that Trump's health is fully expected to fail soon. The second is that Peter Thiel would see Vance as being less of a problem to control, and would tell Vance to pull the trigger on the 25th amendment regardless of Trump's actual health.
That said, this article is a bit overblown. Vance was asked about the President's health, and gave a pretty standard line any VP would say in the same position.
First is that Trump’s health is fully expected to fail soon.
nah he dead bro

“The president is in incredibly good health,” Vance insisted to USA Today. “He’s got incredible energy.”
And these assholes wanted to "investigate" the Democrats for saying this kind of thing about Biden? At least I've seen Biden ride a bike. Having a golf cart shuttle you around on a course ain't anything.
I'd love to see mr. "incredible energy" try to ride a bike right now, LOL.
