Seriously, how anyone could want old Hillbilly Vance as President is crazy.

One can only hope it will take the entire republican party with it. For now, I'm content that it's giving the likes of Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, Seth Myers, and Jimmy Kimmel lots of fodder! I'm enjoying their roasting...

I believe we haven’t seen the worst of it. It will be much worse with JD Vance. He’s not as popular, but he is smarter. It would be great if all the MAGA’s leave the Republicans and join independents or democrats. And it will interesting to see what the Supreme Court will do since they have been bowing to trump. I think we’re in for a rocky, horrible ride.

P.S. still looking to see if anyone in Canada would adopt me!

Trump changes the scandal by creating another scandal, and on and on, he is a fraudster! Vance is a snake, a weasel, simply can't trust him. Trump’s Odious New Demand of the Civil Service: Loyalty Oaths. Musk is an historically dangerous oligarch, a serial criminal, and he and his entire DOGE crew should be prosecuted for their illegal and destructive dismantling of the US government and theft of our private data. His vaporizing of USAID will lead to the death of millions of the poorest people on Earth, and there can be no redemption for Musk for any of this, ever. His unprecedented undermining of American hard and soft power - and now a sitting American President - cannot be flushed down the memory hole no matter how many flacks he hires and politicians he buys.

Oh, come on. This is just another distraction. Trump will just pay him off and they'll make nice to each other again. What REALLY ought to happen is the Senate NOW DEMAND all unredacted records and files of Trumps alleged involvement with Epstein. They might actually find something in there to impeach him.

I'd love to see Musk's downfall but Shady Vance is a P2025 true believer and as such a bigger threat than FF. I also suspect the maga faithful would then unleash a wave of violence, which will give Vance the excuse for martial law. The broligarch takeover would be complete. I don't see any good end for this.

So I guess that this sorry episode in the Trump Administration will go down in history as Elongate . . .

Vance as POTUS would be a whole lot worse than trump. I saw on X Leon is a naturalized citizen. They said Leon not Elon. So maybe he's naturalized under a different name? Epstein files have been released in redacted form. People in OSINT have shown documentation of flight logs as well as redacted roledex or phone logs a long time ago. They also have had numerous threads on Epstein & Lex Wagner. Under age sex trafficking was a cover for money laundering. Epstein had many passports & was Mossad agent.
