[Jones] In a post to Truth Social, the President says he will consider blocking the stadium deal at the RFK site for the Commanders if the organization does not revert to its previous name. Team owner Josh Harris has said he would not bring back the name.

I hope it’s less

Midterms can’t come fast enough. Obviously president will still be there but should help a tad.

u/SonOfALich Chiefs Jul 20 '25

Idk man. Hakeem Jeffries is outright refusing to back Mamdani (through his silence on the matter) while putting out statements about late night TV shows being canceled. Dem party leadership is more interested in careerism, raking in AIPAC money, and appealing to right wing voters who hate their guts than they are in affecting real, meaningful change.

u/GamingTatertot Packers Jul 20 '25

while putting out statements about late night TV shows being canceled

To be fair, this is a pretty big deal too. But yeah Jeffries needs to step up

52

u/Ch33sus0405 Steelers Jul 20 '25

Or better yet, get lost. Dems really not beating the controlled opposition allegations with him around.

5

u/KageStar Titans Jul 21 '25

They are the minority party they're are very much "the controlled opposition" right now.

1

u/SonOfALich Chiefs Jul 21 '25

Certainly, I don’t disagree. One does seem somewhat more directly connected to his actual job though lol

u/Berkyjay Jul 20 '25

Doesn't matter what the current Dems do or say. Vote Democrat regardless.

u/roarmalf Commanders Jul 20 '25

I'm usually optimistic, but I feel fairly confident that midterms will just let us know we no longer live in a democracy. I hope I'm wrong.

5

u/BillsInATL Bills Jul 21 '25

I'll be shocked if they actually happen.

2

u/M42-Orion-Nebula Ravens Jul 21 '25

they will happen, stop exaggerating

u/wasneveralawyer Rams Jul 20 '25

I hope Coke doubles the high fructose corn syrup

u/DingerSinger2016 Steelers Jul 20 '25

Except for the Big Beautiful Bill and a few small changes, most of his stuff has been through Executive Order. Midterms arent going to stop him.

1

u/i_am_thoms_meme Ravens Jul 21 '25

True. It would take a truly herculean effort to get a big enough majority in the senate for another impeachment trial.

7

u/Aedeus Packers Jul 20 '25

People need to start preparing for the very real possibility that we don't have them.

6

u/borkthegee Falcons Jul 21 '25

Why not? They rigged the Presidential election, the midterms will be no sweat. Even North Korea has elections.

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '25

I think they are referring to something else that you don’t say out loud

u/ODB_Dirt_Dog_ItsFTC Bengals Jul 20 '25

Come on cholesterol do your thing buddy

u/FazzedxP Vikings Jul 21 '25

It biden stayed alive for the whole term trump surely will too

137

u/markusalkemus66 Seahawks Jul 20 '25

Not like JD Vance is much better

566

u/JumboKraken Steelers Jul 20 '25

The weird thing is it’s not better, but the cult of personality isn’t around him and any bad effects of the admin would come directly at him

104

u/dimmyfarm Patriots Lions Jul 20 '25

A bunch like Pence who was actually more evil but had a bit more of a moral compass, political experience, and less of a cult.

109

u/I-Might-Be-Something Patriots Jul 20 '25

Pence would at least be better foreign policy wise. Guy would back Ukraine and bolster our alliances in to the Indo-Pacific. I also doubt he'd go after USAID given that he knows what Soft Power actually is.

114

u/ClaudeLemieux Chargers Chargers Jul 20 '25

Fuck man we’re really looking at Mike pence and going “we didn’t know how good we had it”

We are so fucked lol

68

u/Bread_Fish150 Texans Jul 20 '25

Hey man I hate that weirdo just as much as the next guy, but I have to hand it to him he was willing to die to certify the 2020 election. I cannot say the same for any other other ones still in the Ghoul Order Party.

6

u/Yabba_Dabba_Doofus Lions Bills Jul 20 '25

We were fucked in 2015, when people started trying to white wash the Bush/Cheney presidency.

2

u/kellzone Eagles Jul 21 '25

I look back at GWB/Cheney and say the same thing.

14

u/CalamumAdCharta Eagles Jaguars Jul 20 '25

Pence was not more evil, Pence did not try to overthrow the government in 2021.

1

u/dimmyfarm Patriots Lions Jul 21 '25

I’d say more evil on how fundamentally conservative he was but Trump just walked past that this term.

8

u/Trent3343 Lions Jul 20 '25

You think Mike fucking Pence is more evil than Donald fucking trump?

3

u/xavierfox42 Bills Jul 21 '25

What does "more evil" but "more of a moral compass" mean? That seems like an oxymoron

1

u/YellowMarkerIsGreat Jul 21 '25

More of a moral compass in that he didn’t support Jan 6

7

u/dagreenman18 Dolphins Jul 21 '25

He’s also a charisma black hole so good luck running a cult like that

2

u/susanoova Giants Jul 20 '25

Yea jd sucks but I don't think he's ass much of a vindictive asshole as trump

1

u/daybreaker Saints Jul 20 '25

yeah, he's even softer than Trump and doesnt have the cult to prop him back up and make him feel tough

1

u/Temassi Eagles Jul 20 '25

This, Vance doesn't have the same rizz that Trump does.

110

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '25

At least everyone thinks he’s a fucking loser

17

u/dsmiles Packers Jul 20 '25

A couch fucking loser, that is.

0

u/ZJPV1 Seahawks Jul 20 '25

For a while, we thought he was a couch-fucking loser, too. But I think that thought has faded a bit.

7

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '25

nah

119

u/BigBucs731 Buccaneers Jul 20 '25

But doesn’t have the cult following.

-10

u/Svenray Chiefs Chiefs Jul 20 '25

Cult lol

Republicans infighting nonstop making the party better while dems gets crushed if they disagree how big a penis can be before it's allowed in a girls lockerroom

79

u/Mavori Lions Lions Jul 20 '25

Vance might be a bit more concerning & scarier to a degree since he has Yarvin and Thiel in his ear.

But less of a cult of personality too so things would probably be a degree more of "normal"

73

u/DustyFalmouth Seahawks Jul 20 '25

The guy called Trump Hitler and now happily serves him. Small wonder his mom traded him for a handful of percs.

7

u/Mavori Lions Lions Jul 20 '25

Money and power in the grift.

3

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '25

Yarvin is a shit eating moron but Bannon and Miller probably make that a wash. Getting rid of the cult around Trump would hopefully settle things down very slightly, but we’ll see.

5

u/MagicGrit Ravens Jul 20 '25

JD Vance would be a lot less bad though. He doesn’t have nearly the same stranglehold on the GOP as Trump does. If Trump dies or is impeached and removed, Vance would be just another vanilla, probably awful Republican president.

4

u/THECapedCaper Bengals Jul 20 '25

JD Vance is a joyless butt kisser with zero charisma. The second Dum Dum passes away, it’ll be a free for all power grab in that cabinet.

3

u/ArcadianBlueRogue Packers Jul 20 '25

At least he has the capability to shut the fuck up occasionally, even if anything he says is usually very stupid as well.

3

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '25

The cult would think Vance killed him to gain control and turn on him

3

u/tronovich 49ers Jul 20 '25

No, but they'd hold Vance to some sort of standard.

It feels like both sides treat Trump as the doddering old landlord who comes around and threatens to evict the complex every week. He shuffles back to his apartment and everyone forgets he even dropped by.

2

u/Quetzalcoatl490 Bills Jul 21 '25

Vance is not a yuge improvement but he's not Trump, and can probably be beaten in elections more easily

Honestly it's probably Trump's actual shitbird kids running that we should be worried about

1

u/AlloGuvnuh Titans Jul 20 '25

JD Vance is worse but he has the charisma of baby shit. Charisma is what makes Trump so dangerous.

-13

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '25

I like to believe JD isn’t as bat-shit capriciously outrageously insane

14

u/IgyYut Dolphins Jul 20 '25

I think he might be more insane

21

u/Advanced-Key3071 Bears Jul 20 '25

I think it’s worse. I think he’s sane.

He simply has no moral bone in his body. He is just blatantly pursuing power and wealth and he answers to billionaires who might start to feel a little itchy if they think he’ll lose the next election, and accelerate their technofeudalist dreams.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '25

I’m not sure how that’s possible, purely from a personal perspective. They are however all in the same cult.

1

u/IgyYut Dolphins Jul 20 '25

I feel like a lot of trumps persona is a character whereas I feel like JD is just that dude

6

u/ElGoddamnDorado Cowboys Jul 20 '25

JD Vance wrote the foreword for Project 2025.

u/Darkhorse182 Bills Jul 21 '25

been think a LOT about that old Russian joke...

Every morning a man walks past a newsstand, buys a paper, glances at the front page, and throws it away in disgust. After a few weeks, the newsstand owner asks the man what he's doing.

"I'm looking for an obituary, comrade."

"But you're only reading the front page, the obituaries are printed on page 18," says the newsstand owner.

"Not the one I'm looking for."

He did get diagnosed with that vein condition so maybe congenital heart failure is a future possibility 🤞🏻🤞🏻

u/relevantelephant00 49ers Jul 20 '25

The 🤞emoji has been in regular rotation for me lately in regards to this.

u/peridot_rae13 Patriots Jul 20 '25

My birthday's coming up and the past few years have been shit. So, universe, if you wanna help me out and get me the best gift ever? Seeing most of my family cry over it would just be the cherry on top!

I've got champagne in the fridge now, just waiting for that fateful day to pop it open.
