    Everyone is jumping to infidelity, but it’s pretty clear they’re just trying replace Kirk with Vance as the leader of TPUSA.

        They’re trying (vainly) to craft Vance into the next maga messiah for when Trump dies.

          No way that mealy mouthed couch fucker comes close to Trump. I have never understood the Cheeto Banditos appeal but to deny it exists to a large population is ludicrous.

            His appeal is a crass businessman who tells it like it is, just another low class white asshole except he was born lucky and cheated his way to the top. American Joe wants to have a beer with Trump. They believe he’s bold enough to shake it up and fix the economy.

            Vance doesn’t have it at all. He’s there because he’s younger than Biden. Zero charisma in comparison.

              Vance is VP because he is no threat whatsoever to Trump. He’s no threat because he has no ability, intelligence, or charisma, and he’s already bent the knee.

              You’ve gotten it all wrong. That’s the plausible deniability lie.

              The truth is they’d rather be hurt to see marginalized people hurt worse than see improvements to everyone quality of life.

          When trump dies, the Republican party dies

          Remember, these are all vultures that will step on one another to get on top without hesitation, see the OP post image.

          When trump dies, it’ll be “fuck the laws, I will take power now” for a lot of types, like that Himmler wannabe whose name I forgot

          Trump is popular because, whole being a narcissistic anti social asshole with psychopathic tendencies, he has a certain charisma that appeals heavily to the maga base. Make cruel jokes about vulnerable people and such, that kind of thing. He does it quite well, credit where credit is due.

          Vance would become president but he is about as charismatic as a closed umbrella and maga won’t support him further than they can throw him. With so many sociopaths around him eyeing for power, it will turn into a struggle where I fully suspect blood will flow until wiser mouths will call for elections which I highly highly doubt will end Ina Republican win at this point

          Democrats are also about as popular as dog owner who doesn’t pick up after his pet (yes, fuck all of you) because they’re basically Republicans without a spine, so who knows. Maybe maybe, maybe it’s finally time for the types like mamdani, maybe we’ll even see a Sanders Presidency.

          I won’t call for Trump’s death, I don’t want anyone to murder him, I don’t want the Cheeto to become a martyr. I can tell his heart miscle that it’s okay. You’ve been fighting the fat onslaught for decades, you can let go. It’s okay. Let go, rest. The world will thank you from the bottom of their hearts.

            Maybe we’ll see a Sanders presidency.

            Why would you even want that? There was a time I did, a couple cycles ago. The man is 84 years old. We can do better than a president with one foot in the grave.

            (I say, not optimistically)

        Unfortunately it does represent a significant amount of political power. Trump partially credited TPUSA for his win. With Kirk dead, the whole thing could likely (hopefully) fall apart.

        It’s not a no name organization, it’s got significant following among the Republican base.

        Vance SHOULDN’T be moonlighting on TPUSA while he’s supposed to be working for America, but he has no scruples to prevent him from doing so.

        He’ll use it in his attempt to follow up Trump’s presidency.

    Christians use 2 Corinthians 2:14 as an excuse for divorce “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with idols?” To divorce and remarry is biblically considered adultery; but Erika is a widow, and if Usha won’t convert JD gets a free pass on divorce, and Christians will just excuse it as the righteous thing for JD to do.

      “what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever?”

      The same they would share with a believer, because that’s what Jesus told them to do.

      Christians like these should just pop all of the bible in clingo to get all their truth. But I guess it would just result unsatisfiable.

      Btw, instead of this mental gymnastics, Catholic Christians just write to the Pope (or rather the holy see) to ask pretty please if he can declare their marriage was never real.

    What’s the party of family values saying about this?

    To paint a clearer picture, remember when Biden stepped down and Kamala took over his candidacy? You know, the thing that’s already had a precedent set and are the rules for our democracy?

    Member how Conservatives have cried and removeded and moaned about Kamala apparently being ‘annointed’ undemocratically?

    Let me ask again: what is the party of family values saying about this? Because it sure as fuck seems like blatant hypocrisy to me. Again.

      I’m to the far left of Bernie Sanders and I “removeded and moaned” about being denied a primary and you should too.

      I dont see how this is equivalent at all to someone taking away my basic rights. Im not saying this isn’t weird because it definitely is but it was the democrats who stood on my neck in these two situations.

        Look, hypocrisy is hypocrisy — you get to be angry about it because your anger is justified. I doubt you were pushing ideas like ‘marriage belongs between a man and a woman’ ‘there are two genders’ etc etc.

        They do not, especially when they are blatantly hypocritical like this.

    I’m sorry, is this actually really happening now? I know it’s a bit of an internet meme, people are joking about it, but I haven’t seen anything about it in the real world beyond then, this.

    So is there really something going on there?

    Man it must suck being a Republican. Anytime a better option comes by you get replaced or walked over, no matter what you are, loyal voter or, in this case wife.

      republicans need a constant fix, otherwise they would start to question what they are believing in. thats why propaganda is constantly shoveled to them.

      Jerry: Describe it.

      George: There was … hairplay.

    I fucking hate this. Please, she lost her husband, she is probably grieving. She’s inadequate right now. Why are you picking on her?

    There are no conventional ways to grieve, nor are there ways to identify whether the person is inadequate or insincere.


    Fuck Charlie Kirk. Hope he won’t find peace in the other world.
