    No way he gets anything done. He’d be a lame duck until the next election, and then he’d be history.

      Let’s hope so. The guy is way too cozy with the likes of Thiel and Musk and all that freakishness combined with way too much money that they represent.

      I mean, I’m not looking for more Curtis Yarvin or lame-brained insanity like The Sovereign Individual injected into my life or American institutions…but a “JD” “Vance” presidency just might bring it about.

      Taco can bully the Republicans with the power of the purse and threatening the funding of primaries against them if they don’t go along. Sure the base firebombing their families is a factor, too. But Musk and Thiel obviously have very deep pockets and could do similar bullying. Musk in particular also has his share of crazy stans and incels that could also probably be whipped up into threats of violence against non-compliant pubbies.
