Did Vance even say thank you ?

[-] maxthemummer@lemmus.org 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Said please and thank you.

[-] ElChinchilla@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Probably more like "glrrrrrblgherr" as trumps shit covered balls smacked his chin

[-] ghosthacked@feddit.uk 25 points 2 days ago

Just Dance Vance is going to learn a hard lesson about why trying to chameleon in and ingratiate yourself with a narcissistic cult leader doesn't end on a good note.

JD should be looking at Mike Pence to understand his future. Trump will let his mob drag you to the gallows if you try to step out from under his shadow.

Trump has no intention of leaving in 2029. He isn't building that ballroom and golf course for the next guy. We're going to have to drag him out of the White House in shackles, if he's lucky.

[-] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

You mean if WE'RE lucky. That's usually not the way this shit goes down.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago

👆

When you make rules that say you can’t be prosecuted for what you do in office (fuck the SCoTUS trash that allowed that) there is every incentive to not leave office so you can keep doing illegal shit with no consequences.

cholesterol is gonna save democracy.

[-] ElChinchilla@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Cholesterol needs to get on it.

Big PR opportunity for heart disease.

[-] Randelung@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Then the smart thing would be to keep up appearances and endorse away.

Oh, I hear it. smart.

[-] artyom@piefed.social 158 points 3 days ago

Yeah I mean Trump wants to run in 2028, why would he endorse someone else?

[-] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Things are being set up for Junior.

[-] green_goglin@thelemmy.club 28 points 2 days ago

He also decided that an appropriate career move would be getting embarrassed daily as the whipping boy of a dimensia-addled pedophile.

[-] CedricWhaley@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

Kind of have to wonder if he was betting on trump dying midway through the term.

A couch is more acceptable than small children though. Yet here we are...

[-] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 7 points 2 days ago

Grabbed them by the pillows!

[-] nullspace@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago

To be fair, I don't blame him.

[-] irgendjemand@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

Republicans and Democrats agree on one thing.... Fuck J.D. Vance

it's funny to me that people are pretending like he's not just going to run again. He wants to be a dictator just like his favorite people, pootin and kim jong un. And all his stupid mouth breathing knuckle dragging supporters will just line up with whatever dumb bullshit excuse is fed to them "but presidents are only limited to two consecutive terms!" "but FDR!" "but he's a war-time president!"

There is no level of duplicitous stupidity these traitors won't stoop to.

[-] mkwt@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

You probably already know this, but at the time when FDR ran for and won 4 terms, the two term rule was just a customary practice. It wasn't written into the constitution.

After FDR died, Americans wrote up the two term rule as the 22nd amendment, and adopted it into the constitution.

[-] AngryRedHerring@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

And then there are the people who actually think he's going to run, when what he's probably going to try to do is declare himself Perma president

Can we FUCKING FINISH THIS ELECTION FIRST BEFORE WE TALK ABOUT 2028?

[-] NekoKoneko@lemmy.world 40 points 2 days ago

Oh man, no, 2026 is already in the bag for Democrats, we got the House and Senate - no need to even vote anymore, just take it easy and enjoy the 2028 race!

He has no intention of transferring power peacefully to anyone.

JD sold whatever soul he possessed for power, but he remains a terminal loser.

Of course he’s not gonna endorse cuz he’s gonna run in 2028…

[-] dan1101@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

He could run in 2028, but many states would not put him on their ballots.

[-] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Not if Congress "suspends" the Constitution and declares him chancellor.

"JD" "Vance", who called donnie "America's Hitler"?

[-] Objection@lemmy.ml 21 points 2 days ago

It should be illegal to endorse a candidate for president before the midterms. Or to ask someone to. What an absolute non-story.

How long do you want the election season to be? Two fucking years isn't enough? Mexico gets it done in 90 days.

[-] Heikki2@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Has Jeffery Dahmer Vance tried bribing him?

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 20 points 2 days ago

That may actually be good for Vance...

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago
