"security concerns" is an interesting choice to say "he's f****** useless"

Worse than useless, anyone and anything he visits for actively dies. He'd likely permanently kill any chance of a resolution.

Don’t think that matters. Trump is itching to turn Iran to glass. btw Iran equals two and a half Texas. That will take a lot of ordnance

Oh please. Vance said exactly what Trump told him to say, nothing more and nothing less. Anyone who thinks Trump gave Vance any power to actually negotiate has not been paying attention.

Vance is also a threat to Trump’s power; Vance is lined up by Thiel / Opus Dei to be the first Alien AI Christianity Pope in a few years and Trump wants him close for that reason but not close enough that he usurps before Trump is off the throne.

It's both horrific and stunning that the current American government has fallen so far that this assemblage of random tin-foil-hat conspiracy-theory buzzwords actually mostly makes f****** sense.

our checks and balances were based on nothing but honor that people would do the right thing. If that was True this country would never have been founded as the king of England would have been reasonable and we would not have needed to revolt. the fact our government lasted this long before some one realized all you have to do is get 41% of congress to do nothing and you can get away with anything. couple this with cops fraught and got the right to not enforce the law if they just dont feel like it and you get what we have now.

The US was the first modern constitutional democracy. It's no surprise they made some mistakes, built a system with flaws that people wouldn't realise until later. The surprise was the hubris of Americans in thinking they had the perfect system for so long, despite all evidence to the contrary. Despite newer democracies copying the US system but fixing the glaring mistakes, Americans still wouldn't allow themselves to admit there's anything wrong with a democracy invented by people who lived centuries ago.

Funny thing is, not even the Founding Fathers thought they got everything right, yet somehow by the late 20th century the constitution became religious dogma.

sigmoid10 6 days ago +24
The whole thing was still somewhat reasonable until the conservative majority in the supreme court ruled that Trump has absolute criminal immunity. As long as he does anything through official presidential channels (be it signing orders, commanding the military or negotiating treaties), he can break any law as much as he wants and noone can touch him. The only way to ever get rid of him is the senate, which of course was already hard before he was made legally untouchable. Now it is borderline impossible unless the supreme court one day decides that the senate can impeach at will and not just for reasons lined out in the constitution.

Impeachment is what you should be hoping for. Removing him via the 25th is even harder to pull off.
8
MarshyHope 6 days ago +7
I disagree. Impeachment won't happen because Republican politicians only look out for themselves. They see no benefit in impeachment as it means the cult will turn against them. But Vance has a lot to gain by exercising the 25th as it means he's next in line and would become president.

sparrowtaco 6 days ago +4
> But Vance has a lot to gain by exercising the 25th as it means he's next in line and would become president. What makes you think the Republicans would vote in favor of the 25th instead of impeachment?

Enervata 6 days ago +27
As long as Trump makes it past 2 years as President it means Vance can take over without it counting as a Presidential term. That gives Vance 10 years to rule. So expect all kinds of AI shenanigans until January if the President’s health takes a turn.

Trump doesn't even want him on it after he's dead. Trump will burn the entire MAGA political structure and foundation to the ground as he lies in his death bed, thrashing from agony and ire. He would burn the world if he could. He does NOT want a successor on any level.

Trump already punted Vance to Pakistan while Trump stayed behind to attend some right wing rally. He jockeyed Vance to fight very publicly with the Pope full well knowing that the VP is "beholden" to the Pope as a Catholic an be humiliated as such.

No, Trump doesn’t want a deal. He wants capitulation which isn’t close to happening. There’s no world in which Trump agrees to the end of the Iran war.

It was the opposite earlier this week [when Erika Kirk withdrew from her own TPUSA event due to “security concerns”](https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/article/erika-kirk-withdraws-from-event-with-jd-vance-over-threats-us-vp-says/), while JD Vance was there. Too risky for Erika Kirk, but not the Vice President of the USA. [The Secret Service then denied there were any concerns](https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/atlanta/news/secret-service-no-credible-threats-turning-point-uga-rally-erika-kirk/) lol

Kirk didn't attend because she knew the event wasn't going to draw. And that's not just because of Vance. TPUSA is dying on the vine because Charlie was the draw.

Security concerns? Even when Trump himself says: ***"The world respects us right now more than they have ever respected us before."*** So why would JD Vance have security concerns if we're so well respected? Pakistan is a non-NATO ally, and as such should harbor no ill-intent. Unless the above quote isn't true. Hmm...

Remember in 2024 that Vance went to a donut place to order donuts to get some campaign footage and he was so awkward and weird that the Trump campaign genuinely wanted to replace him with RFK Jr. He lacks the social skills to order donuts without being awkward, but we think that he can negotiate peace with Iran?

Trump doesn't want Vance to make the deal and look good, but he is too chicken to go himself. He would rather his son-on-law do it. Keep it in the family. Trump started this "war" for no reason and now he can't lie his way out of it. We the people are paying a heavy price. Trump has added 40% to the national debt in less than two years. If he keeps it up he will double the deficit with nothing going to help the American family. Will a new ballroom help our children? Will an additional $75 Billion going to ICE help our children? Our grandchildren's grandchildren will still be paying on this debt for useless pet projects. Next he wants to spend millions or billions on Alcatraz. How ridiculous is that? I'm sure he will want to call it Trump Island. This has to stop. We can't afford any more debt.

He’s jealous. Vance gets props for speaking in full sentences sanely on the world stage. (At least it sounds sane after the gibberish we are used to hearing). Trump pulls him out and institutes a second blockade of the Strait. He is terrified Vance could get a deal. Either that or he doesn’t want Vance getting in the way of the money-men making “deals” to line rich pockets.
