      Can’t you picture him and Stephen PeeWee Himmler Miller browsing the Google images together, looking for ideas for his Frankenbattleship?

      “Oooh, look at that one. Wicked cool, right? I want something like that, but with bigger guns. And more of’em. And lots of real gold. All those other assholes got yachts, but I got a Trump-class battleship!”

        Nah, 1.0 was only better because he spent the whole time figuring out wtf to do. He didn’t even know he had to hire his own cabinet. 2.0 is the result of those four years of realizing the power and protection of the position, and another four of teams of knowledgeable people working hard to make sure this term would be the last they’d ever need.

          Vance doesn’t need Trump’s cult, he doesn’t need to win any elections. He’s the chosen figurehead for the Catholic neo-feudalists that are using Trump to take over, and is already in place to succeed.

            I don’t think they need to “win” any elections at all anymore. It won’t matter who the repugs put up as a candidate, they will win. If a democrat wins in 2028 and there is a peaceful transition of power, I will never again claim any even borderline conspiratorial shit in my life, and so I swear.

        And do they also have late stage syphilis? Why is nobody talking about that one, it’s obvious. The patchy hair loss, the blemishes, the cognitive decline, the bizarre thick facial makeup. You know why the French covered their faces and hands with that thick white lead based paint back in the 1700s and wore wigs? Because of syphilis.

        It fits the timeline perfectly if you consider how he was living in the 80’s-90’s, and how obviously he would never go have it checked out because he’s a narcissistic piece of dumb shit.

        (It also tangentially explains Trump’s bizarre emotional affiliation with the late great Alphonse Capone)

          That just goes to show how bad the US is at electing leaders. Just terrible, even when good options do exist, to the point that I still don’t fully believe Mamdani is the New York Mayor.

                  I don’t take anything for granted in North America. We just elected the most obviously corrupt person to be mayor of Montréal and even the total left/right votes between the four major parties skewed significantly right because we’re stupid as hell.

          No, likely a leftist. There’s two people who hate Biden, the MAGAts and leftists. Biden did some good things but so did Trump, broken clock metaphor. Biden also slow walked us into this by not persecuting Trump for sedition like he should have. It makes the “paid opposition” argument much harder to dismiss of the neo-liberal dems.

            Biden doesnt control the DOJ. He doesnt decide how and when someone should be persecuted. Trump does this and its wrong. The list of good things Biden did is very long, with trump its maybe one or two things if that while the list for bad stuff is huge. There is no comparison.

            1. He’s still alive.

            2. He’s better than Trump.

            3. Trump is the one who told you he hid the cancer diagnosis.

            4. Harris was VP and would have became the president if he died.

            All of these are facts and would have lead to a better present than now so what the fuck are you on about?

    More people are working right now in the United States than at any other time in our history.

    The same can be said year on year every single year (except 2020) due to population and economic growth.

    What he doesn’t say is that the divergence between the average wage and the cost of living has never been greater. So, while more people are available to work, they are earning less per hour in bread and bricks than they were 5, 10, 15, 20 (etc.) years ago.
