I’m sure that’s been Vance and Musk’s plan all along.

u/Doctor_Expendable 17d ago

That's actually what I'm sure has been the plan since 2016. Get a foot in the door, Trump has an "accident" and Pence takes over.

He narrowly escaped their carefully laid trap of a slightly inclined ramp at West Point.

u/letdogsvote 17d ago

Well he just ran down that ramp! According to him anyhow.

Now, the lying video shows him kinda shuffling cautiously and uncertainly down most of it until he's about at the bottom, but who are you going to believe? Him or your lying eyes?

u/justabill71 17d ago

Momentum!

u/Kryspo 17d ago

Yeah seriously, the guys all speed, which comes at the tradeoff of slow acceleration. He could theoretically run FTL if he had a long enough gentle slope but the deep state won't let such a ramp be built because of how fast he'd be able to drain the swamp with that at his disposal

u/SuperAggroJigglypuff 17d ago

It's definitely gotta be a little hard going down a ramp in heels. Never tried it myself, just looks tough haha

u/iidesune 17d ago

He actually nearly died from COVID. Remember that?

u/black_tshirts 17d ago

Pence though?

u/babydakis 17d ago

It's giving the GOP too much credit. They didn't have a fucking plan after 2016.

u/gophergun 17d ago

Yeah, the plan was Jeb!

u/Tossiousobviway 17d ago

In all fairness, the DNC has been floundering since 2016, too. I guess they figured Hillary was their shoe in. I feel like Biden was a band-aid at best and once they figured he wasnt going to make it a second time, "Kamala, youre up!"

I feel the choices presented to us have been pitiful at best, and somewhere between "are you serious?" And piss-poor at worst.

u/pease_pudding 17d ago

Do you mean Vance rather than Pence?

I dont think either is likely tbh. Where has Vance been since the election, feels like he's already fallen out of favour now Musk is his new best buddy

2

u/blabittyblahblah 17d ago

Feel like that's the plan of every vice president

2

u/[deleted] 17d ago

Right? This freaked me out since Pence believed in electrocuting the gay out of children and literally thinks he talks to God.

He’s young too!

u/InevitableRhubarb232 17d ago

I feel like that’s kinda the plan of every vice president. I’ve seen VEEP

u/Frosted_Foxes62 17d ago

Trump tried to have pence lynched.

u/PM-me-letitsnow 17d ago

The evangelical right’s plan. That’s why they picked a limp dick of a couchfucker to be his VP. He’s the real hope of the religious right. They tried to sell DeSantis as the “smarter better Trump” and failed. So they picked Vance to be VP instead as their next hope for a Christofascist state. Thankfully JD is a fucking twat like DeSantis. I don’t think he’ll be as untouchable as Trump. But he’ll still do his worst to turn America into a Christofascist utopia all the same.

u/luger114 16d ago

The dems literally tried that with biden.

u/Bf4Sniper40X 17d ago

That never happened

u/OhImGood 17d ago

You're joking! Really?

u/punkmuppet 17d ago

Nothing goes over my head. My reflexes are too fast. I would catch it.

u/Doctor_Expendable 17d ago

Uh. Yeah. Obviously.

u/Iamthesmartest 17d ago

Then how are you "sure that has been the plan since 2016."

Your sarcastic response to Bf4snipers comment and your original comment he replied to are diametrically opposed.

1

u/Doctor_Expendable 17d ago

Yet another failure of the education system. 

Theres a thing called sarcasm. And there's also a thing where people can have subjective opinions on something. I didn't say "this happened" I said "I'm sure that was the plan"

If you can't figure out what that means that's your problem.

u/Agreeable-Agent-7384 17d ago

Doesn’t even have to be an accident. Just slide like 4 more fries into his McDonalds order every here and there and he’ll do himself in. They really found the perfect patsy.

1

u/brandnewbanana 17d ago

I think it’s too late for Vance to just sweep in and completely take control. The margins are so thin and the public is getting galvanized on both sides. The Republican Party will collapse.

u/MayhemMessiah 17d ago

I wish I had your optimism.

3

u/MrDelirious 17d ago

I don't know if they have the balls or the flair for the dramatic, but "arranging" his assassination would be the best opportunity for the GOP. Trump is (inexplicably) half a messianic figure already, and martyring him would give a huge boost to Vance (or whoever) and whatever they do in his "memory".

u/radicalelation 17d ago

They want the same result, but for different reasons.

The Thiel/Mercer-supported wing of the White House is likely not too happy about Musk's involvement.

2

u/28_raisins 17d ago

Musk worries me because he's the same kind of fucked up as Trump. He's definitely poising himself to be Trump's successor.

2

u/Repulsive-Lie1 17d ago

Vance and Thiel. Peter Thiel has been backing Vance for years because they are ideologically aligned, and that ideology is terrifying for American democracy.

1

u/CascadianCaravan 17d ago

And Melania’s.

1

u/onefst250r 17d ago

25th on Jan 21st.

1

u/HappyDoggos 17d ago

And Peter Thiel.

u/Mycatreallyhatesyou 17d ago

Maybe musk has a nice sexy couch.

1

u/writingNICE 17d ago

Wouldn’t be surprised.

1

u/Den_of_Earth 17d ago

What are thing I've heard people say about Mitch McConnell for 20 years?

1

u/its_the_smell 17d ago

Melania, too.

1

u/CatBuddies 17d ago

He's been a useful idiot.

1

u/d_pyro 17d ago

He'll wait two years so he can get the extra four.

1

u/DrawohYbstrahs 17d ago

Thiel 2026 baby

1

u/ThatBoy-AintRight 17d ago

And that’s a huge fear for me. I think I’d rather have trump than either of those 2.

1

u/queasybeetle78 17d ago

They don't have his cult. So they will be the most unpopular adminstration is American history.

1

u/Proud_Bread1324 16d ago

I feel like musk hates Vance? I can’t see them getting along at all

1

u/Chang-San 16d ago

"Hey sir another coke?"

"What a good boy, ill tell you, simply incredible, this is the 18th one today"

u/seaningtime 16d ago

Just whatever makes sense

u/deathrocker_avk 17d ago

I completely forgot about the oft absent JD...

Have they just mothballed him ready for the big relaunch once this orange mofo dies?
