Perhaps unpopular hot take: the kid who took the shot at Trump is more like Jack Ruby than Lee Harvey Oswald.

As soon as we learned that Crooks was a registered Republican it was clear that the assassination attempt was going to be a two-day story.

Trump sporting that maxipad on his newly pierced ear like a champ

I’m not sure a maxipad on his ear is the vibe he thinks it is

The legal max a person can donate to a candidate is $3300. But, when billionaires like Elon Musk exploit our broken campaign finance laws to donate $45 million a month to a candidate, we’re no longer a democracy and it’s no longer an election — it’s an oligarchy and an auction.

Here’s the letter to which Radley alludes demanding investigation of a journalist for an op-ed. Trump never had much of a mask, if any, but a Vance pick is a mask-off moment, in the sense that it’s saying “you’re goddamned right we want fascism.” www.vance.senate.gov/wp-content/u...
Trump’s VP pick … — demanded the DOJ open a criminal investigation of a journalist for “insurrection” over an op-ed critical of Trump — spouted replacement theory garbage — called for criminal prosecutions of other Trump critics — blamed Biden for Trump shooting — called for Biden’s prosecution

A fun fact about JD Vance is that he's openly backed purging anyone who disagrees with him from the government, comparing it to "de-Nazification," and illegally defying court orders to do so.

it's not that he's changed his mind about trump, really. it's more that he's changed his mind about hitler.
I get that he’s taken it all back, including when he said he feared Trump would be America’s Hitler, but I guess my position is… I have never gone to work for someone I’ve ever in any point in my life compared directly to Adolf Hitler… and it’s a fair question… www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

A man who fakes his wealth paired with a man who fakes his poverty. Sounds about white.

Can only imagine what fucknut will be chosen to replace Vance in the senate.

Vance will have none of the moral and ethical hangups that encumbered Pence. Cannot believe I just typed that. Trump is an empty vessel, Vance is his chamber pot.

This’ll never make me a regular on msnbc, but people should be ashamed to admit they support Trump. He is a hideously bad person proposing to enact a vast expansion of cruelty and human suffering. The erosion and collapse of social sanctions for supporting someone so indecent is a big problem.
*sigh* Time to find a new sticker manufacturer.

Transformed from empty vessel to … Trump’s chamber pot. Dizzying indeed.
