But in their infinite wisdom, they decided former presidents and presidential candidates were a sacred cow and we cannot hold someone accountable for their crimes of they might become president, we must put them in a position to ruin everything

    God, we were truly robbed of one of history’s greatest power vacuums. That shit would’ve made the Death of Stalin look like a church picnic. It starts with Vance saying he should be the obvious front-runner because he was totally the pick for VP, you just gotta trust him guys, he doesn’t have anything in writing because it was a secret handshake deal but he was totally gonna be the VP, ask anyone, and it ends with Ron DeSantis burying Mike Pence in cement while Nikki Haley soaks the convention center in gasoline.

      And then, the “reward” we would have gotten would have been someone competent in charge of all this horrifying stuff.

      You want terror? It would already be packed up by now. The Democrats would be an illegal party, I think, and the paramilitary would already be semi controlling a lot of the streets, instead of doing such a good job at pissing people off and looking like the bad guys as they are doing now. It is still very very dangerous. But we are very lucky that Trump is in charge of it all.

        None of that happens without a charismatic cult leader. They cannot replace Trump and I’d image they’re shitting bricks behind the scenes. LOL, can you imagine the backstabbing and power grabs going on as Trump dives further and further into dementia and heart failure?!

        I’d laugh, but I’m afraid they have a succession plan, a plan that might work.

          Yeah, but so maybe it goes dormant for another 5-10 years and people forget. And then, when middle-aged Stephen Miller comes out like Pink Floyd when he shaved all his hair, all with big plans and fire in his eyes… maybe he’s running against Gavin Newsom who’s kind of a POS anyway and nothing the left can get excited about, maybe he wins, and maybe then he gets to work. And he’s got energy, he’s not old or stupid.

          I think it’s better that it’s Trump. It’s still awful, but I really think it’s better this way. I don’t think people will forget this once it passes, or get distracted.
