He had kirk killed for nothing? oh the shame
Op: Barron Trump
Don Jr. is in second place!? That would be awesome if he got the nomination. He's such a coked up clown, the American public would never vote for... such a... you know what, never mind.
They would.
We said that about trump in 2016, don't wish for something, you might actually get it.
that was the joke

If he wants to ever be president, he needs to either invoke the 25th amendment or get on board with impeachment.
I dreamed that trump was impeached again and this time the Senate voted 50-50. Couch fucker was the tie-breaking vote, and he voted to convict, effectively electing himself president.
It's disheartening that this wasn't a good dream, but it was still too good to realistically hope for.
The House needs over 50% to impeach. The Senate needs 2/3 or 67 vote to convict so there wouldn't be a situation where a tiebreaker comes into play.
It is nice to dream though...
Yeah I’m sure the 67 vote restriction was for this very reason, so the VP couldn’t just elect himself.
Lmao I can't believe I forgot that. Glaring plothole in my dream.
A dream with poor fact checking? I guess otters can’t talk, and don’t all want to be my friend.
Impeachment will never happen. The guy in question is a convicted felon. What is impeachment going to do that it failed to do the other times he's been impeached?
JD Vance will be 10 times worse as president. We need him removed as well.
Vance’s lead over Trump Jr had plummeted
What! Seriously?
Those are what GOP is currently considering the best 2 options?
USA is a joke, and unfortunately a very bad one.
The last name trump on the ticket will trick a significant number of people into thinking they got their 3rd term wish.
I bet even Hillary could win over one of those two, not that I'm challenging her to try, I hope next if there even is an election, the Democrats will run with someone inspiring and progressive.
But who am I kidding, from the looks of it, the chances of that are near non existent.
Dude is awkward. Like, so fucking awkward that I’d feel bad for him if he wasn’t also a piece of shit. Really thought he was thinking of ditching his wife for Erica Kirk but that would be awful AND stupid.
He will dump his wife and Marry the blond white girl. Maga wont accept his current wife as first lady.
I strongly disagree. They love having someone around that they can point to and say, "see, we’re not racist."
It'd be so much more believable if she didn't get bombarded with racism by their side
I cannot imagine that being seen as the weird puppet of the even weirder puppetmaster Thiel is doing him any favors, either.
I mean, Thiel and his weird associations - the freaks writing The Sovereign Individual, Curtis Yarvin, and Elon himself....blech. I think about the only people getting excited about any of those freaks and their ideas for how WE should live OUR fucking lives would be either the most idiotic of incel morons and centimillionaires and billionaires.
The Democratic Party needs to bring back calling these people weird again. I mean, all the time, too. Orchestrated. Like they started to do for like a minute before someone clearly had them dial it back.
Because these people are fucking weird. Sure, the right tries to constantly cast anyone to the left of Rush Limbaugh as some blue-haired trans person with face piercings and by that coding, way outside the mainstream. But anyone that is a billionaire is by definition someone that is wildly out of step with the everyday person. People like Mikey Johnson that have some weird porn pact with their son are deeply weird. People that follow the likes of Curtis Yarvin telling the elites that we need to get over things like democracy are extremely weird freaks, and people should point and laugh at this kind of thing.
But definitely point it out all the time...don't pretend any of this shit is the least bit respectable.
south park is the only entity attacking the right people with the right kind of satire. bless those gents, we don't deserve them.
Calling them weird? No they need to be tried for sedition and racketeering and be fined the sum of their wealth to fix the damage they’ve done to our country.
We still think there's gonna be an election?
My hopes were very low a few months ago, but right now, the tides are turning and I think his time may have come. If the entire party isn't with him in lockstep, his efforts to remain as king will not succeed.
Dictator. FTFW.

oh deer gods it is still 2025
Lol my SO asked me how many years does trump have left?
Haven't been more than 1 yet...
Trump is a cold, gold painted toilet, JD is one of the turds floating in it.
How well is JD Kirk polling?
JD is nothing but a Peter Thiel puppet.
There is no universe where that guy was going to be Trump's successor. Nobody likes him, he's only there now because Peter Thiel believe he will allow him to replace humanity with robots or something.
He's only there because he's the only guy that WOULD run with him
Not surprising, nobody likes this prick
He'll be lucky to get prison time instead of a firing squad.
But his pole is raising for that new line of sofas.
Wait his lead over who??? That coke fueled failson is in the running??
Jebus, this is the stupidest country that has ever existed.

I'm not super familiar with pooling sample sizes. Is 439 a big enough sample to draw conclusions from? Is it a group of people that spreads decently across a specific demographic that historically produces meaningful results?
I have such a hard time understanding political polling. Anyone know of a good way to get up to speed? Doesn't have to be quick

It'll be JD Kirk once him and Erika get married and pump out 5 kids.
She’s already 8 weeks pregnant and Charlie was shot 10 weeks ago. 🤔
Edit: fact checked myself and I was taken in by a rumor. There’s no confirmation, although I also can’t find a denial from Erika Kirk or her reps.
