Trump VP pick

[newfie]

Yep, seems to be a theme with Trump‘s VP picks. He’s always the alpha.

agreed. trump and pence were the ultimate odd couple.

with vance i think trump may actually be trying to elevate the republican party. He gave Haley a voice. desantis and vance are strong contenders. cruz if he wants it though i would love to see him get a supreme court slot if one comes up. showcased a lot of the young up and comers. they say maga but its not pure maga anymore. Sean O'brien kind of gave the party a come to jesus hey you can have union support if you don't write us off speech. Haley with her dont forget about the Rino's speech. the muslim woman . hope they don't go full tilt on the reaching out but its interesting . Not a total inclusion but a hey we'll listen to others kind of convention.

Actually, she talked pretty eloquently, although I don’t think I could ever trust a guy who let his wife turn him into a vegan

I've seen men do worse things for pusillanimous.

Maybe the MAGA folks have been hoping for more of a pro wrestler type since Trump's VP might be a natural successor to take over the movement at some point.

Dana White

His personality is much better leveraged via the UFC. He can do far more for Trump there than he could as Trump’s VP relative to what other folks could do as Trump’s VP.

She’s polling better in swing states so it’d be something.

I don't know how. She has a vocabulary of about 300 words.

I don't know how.

Lying pollsters.

Watching Byron Donalds on Bill Maher’s show. I like him more than JD Vance. Would’ve made a great VP pick if he weren’t from Florida.

Would J.D. Vance Join a UAW Picket Line Outside a Tesla Factory?

If you believe that, I got this bridge I need to unload.

speaking of Elon;
"He has openly endorsed antisemitic tropes, called for the prosecution of the respected immunologist Anthony Fauci (evidently buying into the right-wing fantasy that Fauci helped create the COVID-19 pandemic), and associated himself with a grotesquely ugly conspiracy theory about the assault on the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

He reversed policies at X, formerly Twitter, designed to block hate speech, including racist and antisemitic tweets. That has turned the platform into a hive of repulsive partisan commentary.

(Musk blames an imaginary advertisers’ “boycott” for the user decline at X, though the repulsive atmosphere of the platform since his acquisition probably has done more to drive users and advertisers away.)

Musk again put his acrid personal worldview vividly on display with his announcement Tuesday that he would move two of his private companies, Hawthorne-based SpaceX and San Francisco-based X, to Texas."

Well established that Fauci gave money to the Wuhan lab for gain of function research and tried to cover it up.

Those policies at Twitter/X? Musk exposed through the company's own documentation that they were working with the government to shut down any criticism/dissent of Biden administration policies.

Musk can't move his companies to where he thinks they'd be best served?

You think 'X' is bad, you should swing over and sample Imgur.

And the move to Texas can only be described as intelligent and cost-effective.
