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.

At least you wont die of a temper tantrum global nuclear war.
Congrats, this "titanic" we're on will now sink just a teeny tiny bit slower... (talking about climate-change denialism) 🫠
I reckon Vance has the potential to be a lot more volatile and cruel than Trump. Trump's just a greedy, dumb arsehole that says whatever he thinks will make him a buck. Vance creeps me the fuck out, and his rich mates are no better.
Vance is smarter and more youthful than Trump. He's backed by technocrats. I find him insufferable. I hope his base does too should he ever get his hands on the presidency because he has the potential to be more dangerous than Trump.
People say this but I really question what your standards of hitting bottom is. I also wonder just how much you’re following the court cases Donald is losing and how much they are holding the gate. Or what exactly congressional purse strings are being held
Trump’s volatility is unpredictable and random because he is in decline. He has no loyalty. And he’s a giant blow hard
He doesn’t show up to meetings he himself said he’s in and loses focus.
the DOJ are facing losing their bar and bucking back at Donald now. Donald doesnt have to care cuz he’s circling the drain and trying to take everyone down with him.
And Mike Johnson and Steve miller are absolutely trying to take advantage of Donald’s dementia.
So please describe to me in detail how much worse Vance is going to be. Tell me your greatest fear and Vance’s strategy to punch through where a dementia riddled blow hard hasn’t been able to this past 4 months without facing the same risk of impeachment and/or held in contempt at every step.
I mean the Dude balked at Greenland calling it too cold and looked completely confused on what he was supposed to do there to ‘take it over’… no one answered their door.
And you’re scared of this guy?
Same way I'm scared of a toddler with a loaded gun. He might seem like a gormless twat now, but give him unfettered power, like Trump is setting him up for, and I reckon he'll go completely mental.
HE ‘S LITERALLY SENDING PEOPLE TO DEATH CAMPS. children are literally starving to death. Did you not notice because the skin sent to the death camps was brown with tats?
He’s been trying to reduce power of congress and take anyone off the streets regardless of citizenship to send to a gulag.
This has been happening all well before TACO.
You need to bring your standards up WAY higher than they are right now if this is all happening right under your nose and your just sitting there thinking he wasn’t already mental.
vance is also a lot younger
is he gonna want to live in a bunker for the rest of his like? zero sunlight, cramped af living space?
Dude is so uncharasmatic and useless and weird, if the US government went underdergound in a bunker, he'd get coup'ed by some general on the first night. he has no power if the country falls apart due to nukes.
If nuclear war happens. The "leaders" of the countries are no longer leaders, each bunker would just become an independent state with their commander as a warlord.
And then you've gotta deal with ghouls and deathclaws and suchlike. It's a bloody shambles!
I wouldn’t put it past any of them. They’re all psycho incompetent batshit crazy afaik
