    Trump dies on the second day in office, then the newly minted President Kennedy butchers a bald eagle on the Oval Office desk, cooks it in an air fryer perched on the railing of the window, then tosses it in buffalo sauce and eats it before blowing the brain worms to kingdom come with an original flintlock from the time of Thomas Jefferson that was sitting on one of the shelves.

    Oh please do.

    I will fucking bet you he does it and the numbers drop after it happens. In fact I have this bet already, but I’ll make it again.

        after some dumb shit? Bruh idk. This election season so fucking off the rails.

        But I owe some one twenty bucks if the following doesn’t happen:

        Trump swaps out Vance as VP and the resulting polling is lower.

        If that does happen, I will much more than 20 bucks.

      Idk, I think I’d see trump numbers up after that. RFK jr is going appeal to the fringe libertarian…especially considering the orange turd’s health and age

        Bet? $20?

        Last person gave me 100 to one on the parlay that he both swaps out the VP nomination AND when that is done, his poll numbers go down.

        So if you believe what you said, my $20 is free money.

          All bets are off at this point imo, this shit has been going in what ever way the wind blows. Although, I would bet on a Kamala presidency 🤞if everyone votes

    Wasn’t Vance officially chosen by the delegates at the RNC? Can Trump actually pick someone else now? What would the party have to do to change their nomination after the convention-hold an emergency meeting and revote?

      At this point there’s no way to do it legally. Ballots are already being printed. But legality’s not an issue for Trump and his personal fan club.

      I think Vance could step down, then Trump would have no running mate, I think? And a VP would be appointed by Congress if he wins? Idk.

      Trump can do pretty much anything he wants. No one in the GOP has any power to stop him and the moon that supports him.

        Agree that they would happily bend any rules for trump, but the RNC already happened and they chose Vance as the VP candidate. How does the Republican Party change their rules now? They would need to have some sort of party vote I think. Emergency RNC 2.0?

    That’s my bet as of this last weekend, tbh.

    Trump’s kinda obviously having serious buyers remorse over Vance and how he’s basically fucking kryptonite to the vast majority of women. And I’m sure he thinks including the Kennedy name on his ticket will give him a big boost. And now that he’s pulling both RFK and Tulsi closer in to the campaign, I’m really thinking it’s only a matter of time.

      Ra. The Kennedy name. No one has given a shit about the Kennedys in so long. Hell, I forgot they existed until that group of smooth-brained dipshits started wearing red hats and quoting The Enquirer and Weekly World News stories as gospel and insisting the one that sadly died in plane crash 25 years ago was raising from the dead.

    [JD is replaced with Kennedy jr and they meet]

    “And how long have you been the VP candidate?”

    “It’s actually started a while ago when I was walking down the-”

    “Okay good.” [Turns to rotting bear corpse]

    “And how long have you been here?”

    [Bear corpse silence]

      Because Desantis challenged him in the primary. It’s as simple and petty as that.

      he did. JD Vance is one of those ironic punishments Olympians gave to people that pissed them off. someone with as much ability to come off as human, let alone normal, as desantis, if not less.
