He should pick Mike Pence again lol

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He would probably accept too 🤣

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He would have to ask mother first

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

At this point I'm thinking "mother" is like "mother" from Psycho...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Always has been

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I agree. I really want to see those fuckin dipshits actually try to hang him with that dipshit noose lol I guess I never looked closely at it what the fuck did they do to it

It genuinely amazes me how these people fall right in line at a moments notice, given Trump’s history of being a horrible leader. Not just politically either; why do companies and lawyers continue to want to do business with a guy who is infamous for not paying his bills or egregiously suing people. None of his behavior is new or unknown. He’s been doing this long before he ran for president.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 month ago (2 children)

He's not just a horrible leader, he's thrown every single person who's ever been involved with him under the bus. They all somehow think they'll be the first one in history who doesn't get tossed like fucking morons.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

That is such a better way to put it. Thank you.

The average Trump supporter would never, ever be allowed through the front door at Mar-A-Lago. Hell, Trump wouldn't spit on most of them if they were on fire.

“You see the fat idiot yet? I told him he looked thinner and he subsidized coal. Didn’t even have to offer the briefcase this time.”

Manipulating the stupid and greedy is easy. They’re making money hand over fist, everything else, consequences included, is in the ether.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

I think it's true what they say: the right falls in line, the left falls in love.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

I'm surprised he doesn't just pick a family member at this point.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

When I watched the Sopranos, I was always thinking I would never hang out with those dudes, because I know sooner or later I was gunna get whacked. Either you're going down with him, or you're going down for him.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Or if youre a woman, you're going down on him.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

It's going to be the Puppy Killing Cunt.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I say that so far he’s still looking for the bootlicker that will agree to do what Pence didn’t do. Absolute loyalty without regards to oneself. You only have to look at what Giuliani is going through to see how that works out!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I might still take the job. Even is we lost my name would get in the books for something. And I could say that is why I did it after the fact. And if we won, we'll I could step down on like day 2 or something... assuming he lived through day 1.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is literally what serial killers think

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't think serial killers often think about being the Republican vice president

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Well if they were more aspirational they'd probably be able to kill a whole lot more so they should consider it.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I've been morbidly curious to know what wretched shitbag he's gonna pick. He's spoiled for choice!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm half thinking Trump won't pick a running mate and simply try to run VP-less because he'd be afraid this VP would try to knock him off and take the Presidency.

The loyal GOP base would rush to support the decision that a VP isn't required even though we all know the Constitution requires one.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nah, he likes having a VP to kiss his ass and tell him he's the most awesomest person in the whole wide world. Mike Pence was such a lickspittle he'd make Smithers from the Simpsons blush. Of course, that never saves them in the end...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Sure, until the VP doesn't do his bidding, which Pence experienced on Jan 6th.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Yup, and sooner or later he'll hang them out to dry even if they do.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

J.D. Vance, who will then become president and have himself crowned King of America. If you think I'm joking, look the guy up.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is the most likely outcome. We live in the shit timeline.

Fuck you alternate asafum living the life in gay space communism.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Capitalism will end. It's proven more resilient than Marx thought, so it's taking its sweet time, but it is ending. I'd say there's a pretty good chance we go back to feudalism with King Vance, Duke Musk, and Baron Bezos, but it's not set in stone. I like to think we inherited a shit part of the progression.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I voted in that primary in Ohio, Vance is scary.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

What was their reason for actually trying to hang Mike Pence? I remember hearing people joke that Mike Pence was Trump's insurance against being shot because then Mike Pence would become president, who apparently was worse because apparently he supports electroshock therapy for gay people (which yeah, that's reprehensible if true), but somehow he ended up leaving office looking reasonable because of what Trump did?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

What was their reason for actually trying to hang Mike Pence?

In a procedural matter, he failed to announce a coup for Great Orange Leader. This is obviously treason.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

According to the Trump and the Mob, Pence was supposed to use his powers over the election certification to recognize the fake electors instead of the real ones from a few key states. And failing that, get everything tossed so Congress would vote on the next president.

Fwiw, they wouldn't have hanged him. He wouldn't have made it to the rope.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Oh, so that's what rope-a-dope means.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Donald Trump with VP illegal "official act" Donald Trump

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

There are plenty of folks who would do anything to be Veep.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

He is legit narcissistic enough to pick himself.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It'll be an "attractive woman" by trump standards.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

His daughter?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Even if he didn't try to have Pence killed, he doesn't need Pence at this point. He's got the evangelical voters now. I believe Rubio is out of Florida, so that won't work out for obvious reasons.

Meanwhile the other two have a bit too much spine and self-respect for themselves still. The orange ego maniac will be looking for someone that obeys him at every turn.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I realize that there isn't anyone he could pick that I'd feel comfortable with considering I don't feel comfortable about him at all but the thought of this still made me shudder a little.
