So… they swap out the couchfucking weirdo for the brain-worm weirdo.
this is gonna go so well!
Slurp that fetid whale juice!
All hail the hypno-choad.
As long as we don’t discuss donnie, it might be a sort of valid strategy.
Or so I start to think.
THE WEIRDO EXCHANGE PROGRAM
ACT NOW
😭😭😭
Trump dies on the second day in office, then the newly minted President Kennedy butchers a bald eagle on the Oval Office desk, cooks it in an air fryer perched on the railing of the window, then tosses it in buffalo sauce and eats it before blowing the brain worms to kingdom come with an original flintlock from the time of Thomas Jefferson that was sitting on one of the shelves.
I’m fine with this. Honestly. Beats having President Trump again, and you know it does.
If Dems take the House and make someone besides Nancy Pelosi the Speaker then this isn’t a bad outcome
Hakeem “More Hand Movements than an Air Force Ground Crew” Jeffries is the name you seek.
I’m not even sure I oppose this timeline
this comment is extra special.
Better than the shit Vance has planned.
(I have no idea what rfk has planned.)
You can’t switch candidates like that! That’s a coup!
At least it is according to this weird douchebag who told me he was totally trustworthy
Removed by mod
They are truly sending their best.
ironically, RFK Jr has never had an elected office. So he’s every ounce as incompetent as Trump. Not that Vance is any more competent.
The couch fucking weirdo is tanking the numbers! Quick! Go find the guy with the brain worm!
Ex brain worm
Damn, that worm has better judgement than Cheryl Hines.
Does the GOP have problems finding normal people to run?
Yeah, I guess they would.
You cAnT jUsT CHanGe CanDiDAtes
No one knows anything about RFK
Who voted for him
Etc etc
RFK vs Walz would be a truly insane debate.
“how many roadkill raccoons have YOU fit into a roadkill deer? Huh, Mr Waltz?!?”
My opponent has never chainsawed off the head of a dead whale for personal whale anatomy experiments. Do you really want someone without that valuable experience as second in line for the presidency?
Griffin hails from the centrist wing of the GOP. Every day, she said, Trump gives people like her “more and more permission to not vote for Republicans” as he surrounds himself with people like RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard and J.D. Vance, who on the fundamentals, “we just don’t agree on, whether it’s support for Ukraine, not having tariffs on imports, wanting to pass border security deals.”
“So I think he’s really doubling down to what is a minority within a minority of the GOP,” Griffin added.
I really hope this is true.
more and more permission to not vote for Republicans
Someone needs to tell these women that they don’t need permission from men anymore in order to vote the way they want.
Any true “centrist” GOP person would have stayed away from Trump 8 years ago.
In America people who identify themselves as “centrist” usually have no strong opinions on anything. They might also be what we might call a traditional republican suddenly realizing they’re surrounded by fascists.
Yes but also no. There are many people who don’t have strong political opinions. Sometimes they’re misidentified as centrists. But there are people who have strongly held political positions that fall in the center of the political spectrum. Then, of course, there is center-left and center-right. They’re still politically engaged, but don’t have much patience for the policy proposals put forward by the far left and far right.
Honestly, that sounds like both sides foolishness with extra steps. How can you be politically engaged and still think there’s a middle ground between “kill all minorities” and “don’t do that”?
Except the gray alien is Reagan.
No, Reagan was evil, not neutral.
As in 2016, he’s not appealing to the centrists. He’s letting the Dems do that. Dems go center, he picks up the anti-war and anti-government side of the Dems looking for a molotov cocktail to throw at the military industrial complex. Gabbard and RFK are an attempt to ruse enough of the left that is fed up with big government and big military. Trump in 2016 won because he was a molotov cocktail while Hillary took the center. In 2020, the primaries presented a progressive alternative that excited the base. 2024, the Dems have decided to revive Hilary’s strategy of camping the center, folding to the military industrial complex, and disenfranchising their base; likewise Trump is playing the anti-establishment dove. Trump won in 2016 like that. Maybe fewer people will be tricked this time after seeing what happened last time he was in office? Or that’s just wishful thinking.
It doesn’t matter if he scares off the center. In spite of the strong start, I see Kamala lining up to lose this election by copying Hilary’s strategy of collecting the center and establishment. It gives me the jitters. Dems need to run on a progressive path forward, not joyful ignorance while they stoke the fires of war. They need a platform that excites enough voters for downballot races. They need to stand up to the problems in our systems of governing that Trump is offering to burn down which might accelerate some sort of change before we die of ecosystem collapse. Clock is ticking, and the voters may decide we need a kick in the ass if the Dems decide to cozy up to the military like in 1968.
I don’t know why you’re being down voted this is a legit concern
While I agree with you, it shouldn’t be forgotten that Hilary still had the popular vote. I think the Dem.s will still win due to Harris not being as hated as Hilary, likely better campaigning than Hilary, Trump being an abysmally bad candidate (just in terms of general political competency, regardless of his beliefs/positions; I think them winning will continue people not taking that point seriously enough), and Harris actually being able to bring out black (and, I would wager, Indian) voters.
I don’t think that black people were necessarily excited about Hilary but they absolutely are about Harris. I think they can likely win like this; it won’t be a landslide but it’ll be O. K.
I agree with what you think they ought to be doing (I was to push the Overton window leftward and going back to the center after it’s been pushed so much leftward over the last 8 years is both frustrating and bad policy) but I think Kamala has a bunch more shoring up than Hilary did. I also think it’s going to convince Dem.s that this is the way to win; if Kamala continues to govern from the center rather than like her voting record in the Senate, I think we get the same rush to neoliberalism Clinton ushered in. But I’m hoping otherwise.
Why didn’t he go with DeSantis?
Trump wants a pretty nonentity.
Pence looked like a 1960s TV version of a Vice President. Vance looked like someone the rural MAGoos would like.
DeSantis might actually [accidentally] tell Trump the truth…
he did. JD Vance is one of those ironic punishments Olympians gave to people that pissed them off. someone with as much ability to come off as human, let alone normal, as desantis, if not less.
Because Desantis challenged him in the primary. It’s as simple and petty as that.
Wasn’t Vance officially chosen by the delegates at the RNC? Can Trump actually pick someone else now? What would the party have to do to change their nomination after the convention-hold an emergency meeting and revote?
At this point there’s no way to do it legally. Ballots are already being printed. But legality’s not an issue for Trump and his personal fan club.
I think Vance could step down, then Trump would have no running mate, I think? And a VP would be appointed by Congress if he wins? Idk.
It would be peak Trump to announce a VP change without checking if it was actually possible 🍿🍿
Technically,
The president and vice president are chosen by the electoral college in separate votes.
Though, for some time, it’s always been the winning candidate’s selected running mate… there is no requirement there. The electors could pick Mittens the back flipping poodle for VP if they wanted.
Fun fact, the VP was originally supposed to be whoever got second place in the presidential election…until they figured out that the candidates might hate each other and that relationship isn’t so great for a president and their VP.
The RNC can just change its rules.
Or simply not follow them like history has shown
Epstein buddies teaming up?
That’s my bet as of this last weekend, tbh.
Trump’s kinda obviously having serious buyers remorse over Vance and how he’s basically fucking kryptonite to the vast majority of women. And I’m sure he thinks including the Kennedy name on his ticket will give him a big boost. And now that he’s pulling both RFK and Tulsi closer in to the campaign, I’m really thinking it’s only a matter of time.
You know Donald would cream himself if he could make signs that said Trump and Kennedy.
Dementia Don and Brain Worm Bob. Name a more iconic duo.
That is a good one! Made me laugh :D
Ra. The Kennedy name. No one has given a shit about the Kennedys in so long. Hell, I forgot they existed until that group of smooth-brained dipshits started wearing red hats and quoting The Enquirer and Weekly World News stories as gospel and insisting the one that sadly died in plane crash 25 years ago was raising from the dead.

I think theyre kinda interesting in a Chris chan or Onision kinds way, its such a dumpster fire that I want to watch it while eating popcorn.
He might eat back a few sub percentage points of his geriatric base.
Oh, I know. All I’m saying is that I believe that’s his “logic”, such as it is.
Bill Burr had a bit about Schwarzenegger marrying a Kennedy, basically marrying into royalty. The whole thing that the guy immigrated, became a movie star, got rich, married into royalty, became governor, how the fuck did that happen.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is unironically living the American dream. Plus he sees right through the Magats and can tell theyre fascists, which is based.
Yeah that was something talking about his father and the Nazis. Really ties it up.
Trump choosing his VP:
Give me the hillbilly.
I said the real hillbilly.
Perfection.
Honestly thought he was going to pick himself as running mate. It’s the only person he’d never blame for losing.
You’d be wrong. Nothing is ever his fault. It’s impossible to him.
