Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

why is this news, that's his fucking job.

Vance is going to be hoping that the orange cyst holds on for a bit longer. Isn't the rule that if he serves more than two years of a term it counts as his first term, so he could (theoretically) only serve one more term?

I realise that minor trivialities like term limits are usually of little concern to them, but he doesn't seem to command the same absolute loyalty as the pustulent one, and so is more likely to be shoved aside.

Vance isn't going to win an election so it's a moot point.

MAGA will not survive without Trump. Can't wait for that to happen.

Doesn't matter he's already got ~~Hitler's~~ Trump's playbook...

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 days ago (2 children)

On the plus side, many fascists have tried to use Hitler’s playbook and it hasn’t worked, because one needs the perfect combination of narcissism, shamelessness, idiocy, and perverted charisma to make it work, and that’s exceedingly rare. Vance has very little of that. He’s a bog-standard fascist, and cannot carry a movement.
