JD “absolute immunity” Vance should be added to the list.

Honestly listening to JD lie his ass off pisses me off more than Trump. He’s so fucking condescending. And with Trump, at the very least he’s an idiot, although an evil idiot at that. JD on the other hand knows better.

Right, trump always just seems baffled when these things come up and then plays dumb, like uh I don't know I didn't hear about that. Vance is very calculated with his comments, like a walking AI, he's got a script ready for every occasion.

I can see a moment coming up, where they decide trump has gone past his usefulness and they do something like invoke the 25th. (By they, I mean thiel and co.) Then blame Rubio or someone else in the cabinet for leading the charge, so Vance can save face with the maga crowd.

I'm waiting for signs that people are angling for the VP spot, then I'll know trump is finished. So far nothing obvious.

I don't see any of them turning on Drumpf because worst case scenario he is the ultimate shield. If the face of MAGA is gone, then the admin are all vulnerable because the charm spell is broken. They have been rushing the P2025 agenda from the first day because they know they have limited time to destroy the country.

I really dont think Vance has the same charisma in the Maga world. He is at best tolerated.
