US President Donald Trump says Russia has made a “pretty big concession” to end the war in Ukraine by stopping short of taking the “whole country.”

    The Republicans will be all too busy backstabbing each other for the foreseeable future in such a scenario. Trump is in the position he is in now because a majority of GOP voters have a stupid fucking cultish worship of him and nobody else. They tried pushing for other less erratic GOP candidates, but they had managed to brainwash their moronic voters so effectively that they are no longer capable of worshipping anyone else but Trump.

    As soon as he is gone, it is going to be a free-for-all among the Republicans, an absolute clusterfuck of a fight to become the next Trump and Vance is not going to be even remotely close to being a candidate for that. He is Trumps pick because he is a spineless vapid non-entity with even less brains than Trump himself. He will not be in a position to do much except getting betrayed by his own party for the rest of the term.

      Vance was Thiel’s pick. And, while he’s not a brilliant man, unlike Trump he is capable of stringing sentences together, even if they don’t mean much.

      All this is true, bit Vance is the vice president, if Trump goes, we’re stuck with him for the remainder of Trumps term.

        Well, that sort of depends on events, doesn’t it? And events don’t always play out predictably.
