Trump 2024 — The second term

[HKFaninCarmel]

That said, I think the primary role Pence took on is chief underminer.

Explain.

Trump was beaten in the press for four years. Couldn’t get out of his own way. Debated like an idiot.

Pence stood firm. Stayed loyal to Trump. Debated wonderfully. Didn’t feed the controversy.

What am I missing?

Pence is a neocon putz. That’s what you’re missing.

He was a damned good bootlicker too

Ok, so nothing at all. Got it.

Not nothing. He's Pence, the underminer!

Why do you like chamber-o-commerce neocons? First white knighting for Nikki, now this? C'mon man.

Stalled for now.

 

[KLB]

Did he sign reauthorizations for that while he was President?

Except, something LG said that I think is true, if Trump came out against something that is AF or does something for his own benefit which is also not AF, many ardent Trumpers would just say "WINNING".

Not sure what AF is?

Not sure what AF is?

I thought we all understood it to be America-first.

I'm behind the times....

I thought we all understood it to be America-first.

There is a competing meaning, as in 'hungry AF'

There is a competing meaning, as in 'hungry AF'

I know, and I've tried to limit my "AF" use because of the confusion. But we've talked about it enough I hope people understand the contextual meaning.

Do we need to go down this road again? Need I remind you that DeSantis gave a very AF take on Ukraine, to the effect it was a border dispute and not existential to America, and then when he almost immediately caved under pressure and 'clarified' his position a day or two later the DeSantis fanbois were unable to acknowledge the fact. If it is a sin, Trump supporters are not alone in exhibiting it, if it indicates cult-like behavior the there is a DeSantis cult of personality out there

Fanboi post to tell me how I'm wrong about wRon in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

DeSantis who?

 

[BugI02]

I think he makes holsters or something

Personally, I think it’s crazy to root for ANY politician. These people could care less about you and your personal interests. All they care about is staying in power and will do and say anything to do it.

If they could care less, why don’t they?
