Since the Trump campaign seems to think so highly about the role of the Vice President, their power and their influence, I thought that this was an important reminder.

    Say what you like about him, and his values - but atleast Pence has some values. Has principles he follows in life. Unlike Orange Man, who I think we can actually say IS BAD.

    P.S Although perhaps not as bad as Vance, who went from unknown employee at Peter Thiel’s company and was whisked into the Senate, then put infront of Trump as a VP candidate… All on Thiel’s dime/funding/connections.

    He’s Thiel’s candidate, and Thiel is following the philosophy of the neo-monarchist Curtis Yarvin, a Silicon Valley guru who like his followers (people like Thiel and Marc Andresseen) wants to see the end of democracy in the US. Replaced with billionaire Royals running “network cities”.

    That’s the money behind Vance, and behind the attacks on US democracy.

    Jeez you try to get a guy lynched and suddenly he won’t endorse you to be president? What is this world coming to?

    What’s with Trump and 5-letter-last-name VP running mates ending in ‘NCE’? Is it logical that the next one would have a last name beginning with a consonant, then a vowel, and then N-C-E?

    My guess for his next running mate is going to be someone named Jeremy Bince

    LOL I don’t even remember who Trump’s VP was.

    edit: oh yeah, Pence - who finally grew a pair after Bonespurs exhorted an unruly crowd to go get him.

    The more experience people have with him, the less likely they are to recommend him.

    This guy has one star on yelp across the board.
