So they can harass and arrest any brown people and trans looking people who dare travel by plane. And Trump supporters will continue to bend over backwards to deny it's happening
Please. Just. Fucking. Die.
People say this, and it definitely feels good to say, but what exactly do you think will happen if he dies?
Wishful thinking, a messy internal power struggle as Vance is not the cult of personality. Things do not improve but the wild tactless nonsense stops for a brief moment as we await the midterms.
GOP will regress on, as ever
I get a good laugh. And Vance becomes president, and because he has all the charisma of a generic can of tomato soup, MAGA officially collapses on itself, and then we get free entertainment watching a bunch of red-hatted apes fling shit at each other.
I imagine those red hats will be about as popular as W stickers were c. 2008. Even now, you sometimes see stories where someone is burning their ~~Nazi uniform~~ John Barron gear.
I bet there will be a sudden influx of "independents", too.
Vance becomes President, the Epstein Files are completely forgotten, a few more bombs are dropped in Iran before the war exits the media completely, lots of "It's time to move on" from the Dems, various Trumpers try to become a successor.
Trump said it himself the other day. I'm paraphrasing a little bit because I don't feel like finding the exact quote, but when talking about Republicans that don't support this war against Iran he said something like "They're not maga, I am."
Historically speaking the cult of personality disappears once the leader dies. Nobody likes Vance and nobody is afraid of him. Yes, he's going to be bad, but not nearly as bad as what we have.
Vance is coherent and entirely Thiel's little bitch piggy. If he ends up getting the same amount of mindless knob slobbing Trump gets, I think it'll much worse. Hopefully since nobody likes him he won't be able to do the damage Thiel wants him to do
The only reason why Trump allowed Vance to be his VP is that Trump doesn't view Vance as a threat. Because he isn't.
At least not to Trump. Vance can and will do a fuckload of damage, but he's far too easy to mock, even for moderate Republicans.
Party at my place

The only thing that interests me about Trump is the coroner's report. It'll be the only thing concerning him based in fact.
No, they’ll probably come out with a coroners report that says he died fighting off 1,000 illegal immigrants from Somalia, led by Ilhan Omar. That’ll be accompanied by some shitty AI picture of Trump with rippling abs, wielding two rifles and a prominent cock bulge. When in reality, he’ll have died on the toilet, choking on a Big Mac he was eating while taking a shit.
So truly destroy the flight industry then.
Cool.
I wonder if the billionaire CEOs of the major air companies are begging him to not.
I am sure they are weighing whether it’s cheaper to continue to let the government run it, or to go back to simply privatizing airport security again and paying for it themselves.
Do the MAGA rubes ever wonder when we're ever going to achieve great again status?
Right after they finishing focusing on their, “no new foreign wars” campaign promise.
Were some liberals shot and some brown people deported in the worst way possible?
That's more than enough for the worst of them to jerk off to, so they think it's "great" already.
It already is great again... for the rich.
Do it, you coward fuck! Do it! I want to see the first international crisis when those assholes shoot a vip from another country just because they felt like it.
If it'll get the international community to act against this madness, hurrah
Trump just posted a follow-up:
The Radical Left Democrats have hurt so many people with their vicious and uncaring ways. What they have done to the Department of Homeland Security, our fantastic TSA Officers, and, most importantly, the great people of our Country, is an absolute disgrace. If the Democrats do not allow for Just and Proper Security at our Airports, and elsewhere throughout our Country, ICE will do the job far better than ever done before! The Fascist Democrats will never protect America, but the Republicans will. Just like the Radical Left allowed millions of Criminals to pour into our Country through their ridiculous and dangerous Open Border Policy, the Republicans closed it all down, and we now have the Strongest Border in American History. Likewise, I look forward to moving ICE in on Monday, and have already told them to, “GET READY.” NO MORE WAITING, NO MORE GAMES! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Well on the plus side, they are so bogged down with infighting they forgot about us. Praise be to God!
"The Fascist Democrats" has got to be the clearest, most absolutely textbook example of projection I've seen yet.
22,000 ICE agents 55,000 TSA agents yeah let's see how this goes. Fucking idiot...
"Well, guess we have to hire 33,000 more ICE agents!"
They've been trying to hire more agents for awhile now. Funny thing is the contract is so shit they seem to have maxed out, also the reputation hit and risk of public humiliation is probably a notable downside.
Maybe they'll manhandle a few rich fucks that happen to be brown and Congress will suddenly care.
Because that’ll definitely speed up airports. Fucking dumbass.
