    Given the quality of this timeline I expect something superficially exciting will happen, and then President Vance will call for a time of unification and healing, and of respect for the separation of powers. After ending the war he disbands ICE and starts rolling back some of the most bigoted trump shit while keeping his “race: political” wife front and center. He does all that opportunistic shit to build his wholesome public image, and it works with many people who barely pay attention or just want things to look normal.

    And then in the background the transfer of wealth continues to accelerate in the wrong direction while the surveillance state grows unchecked and the Supreme Court helps it along as planned.

      Vance isn’t clever enough to manage that level of subterfuge.

      But he is slimy enough to try.

    Either he’s dead and he did NOT write this or he’s completely lost his mind.

      I pray he doesn’t. I pray he suffers a debilitating stroke, that he wastes away in a chair, refusing to step down or stop taking press conferences. I pray he suffers tremors, and delirium, slurred and broken speech, visibly decaying.

      I want his followers to see him as the pathetic husk that he is. I want him to live decades in that chair, I want him to have endless trials in that chair. Death is the easy way out.

          Charlie Kirk is absolutely still talked about by the right, and it absolutely has undertones of martyrdom.

          It’s not about justice, it’s about breaking the spell. It’s about destroying the ridiculous, yet widespread, picture of him as a charismatic strongman. If he just dies, his devotees can hold onto that image, and carry the enthusiasm to the next one. If he withers away pathetically over years, the magic of the movement leaks away, and the cult may awkwardly wither with him.

          But more importantly, the people behind him pulling the strings will be able to get away with much worse if obedient JD fills his seat. The saving grace of Trump’s incompetence is his tendency to screw up the plan given by his puppeteers. His buffoonery is currently the most effective factor in slowing Project 2025.

            Some, such as his grifter wife, are pushing that narrative hard, but mainly he’s just not being discussed as much. For many others on the right, his znti-zionism runs against their desired narrative (even if it was coming from antisemitism rather than from basic human decency).

              I think the consequences of Trump dying are worse than the consequences of him living. As I said, the next in line would likely make fewer mistakes in implementing terrible policy. His administration has control for the next 2+ years either way, he does more damage to their platform through his incompetence than his replacement would.

      Not so fun but interesting fact. The folks peddling this thing also desecrated human corpses, can’t remember if this is one of them or if this one just used animal remains. If it’s just the animal it’s neet if not then it’s from a pillaged native site.

      There’s way too much hidden plumbing for that. I wouldn’t trust that the piss is actually staying at the grave. It should just be a gravel pit with PVC pipe that goes straight down into the ground, with a funnel on the end for people to piss into. Could even have two different height funnels (one near the ground for the squatters, and one raised a few feet for the standers) so it is fully inclusive. Anything more elaborate would be a waste of taxpayer money.

    I had guessed by Christmas. He looks terrible. Cankles like that happen when your heart and/or kidneys are in failure. He also acts like a man with stroke defecits. In addition to all the signs of Alzheimer’s, which, unlike dementia, is an additional physical degradation of the brain that can kill you.

    If he’s on dialysis, skipping dialysis can easily kill you. Potassium alone can do it. Skip, potassium rises, maybe to 6+, heart attack. The meds that remove that fluid and reduce the size of cankles rely on the kidneys and can damage the kidneys.

    Even so. Do not believe for a single second that any of this improves under President Theil, er, Vance.

      Exactly.

      As weird as it is to say, Trumps unpredictability, irrationality, and penchant for reacting without thinking, have probably mitigated more damage than its caused.

      When you get Vance in there, Who is capable of self control, who has the pressure of the money masters on him to do X… I think things would genuinely get much worse under him. Especially since he’d also be struggling to reign in control of the cult of trump and direct them usefully… Possibly by declaring that liberals were responsible for Trumps death, and inciting extreme violence as a result to distract from his own weakness.

        I do think it will improve under vance. He is far more likely to listen to advisors. And far less likely to start a war to distract from him being in the Epstien files.

          Van would be wholly submissive to his masters. The same masters that try to control trump, but often fail due to Trumps own inbuilt idiocy.

            I think JD is still likely to be puppeted by a consortium of evil, but he may also be beholden to a smaller subset of evil masters than DT. Not sure if that’s a good thing or not

              Eh. They can’t tell Trump what to do, only nudge and manipulate. Trump has to think it’s his idea.

              Vance will do as he’s told.

              Trump can be replaced immediately by any hack TV personality. That Hercules guy, for example…

              Or anyone with solid name recognition, like Bezos. It’s a really big deal for the stupid, and the stupid are most of the registered voters, after all.

      What it does is fragment their base. Hopefully beyond repair. Vance is not well liked by literally anyone right now. Only the billionaire class.

      Trumps base thinks vance is a poser.

      He will try to do some evil theil shit, but he will have little to no support.

          He’s way smarter though, at least rhetorically to the median electorate as a psychopath anyway. We all thought the same of Trump back in 2015 too.

          When the billionaires make their pivot, and you can tell they’re already setting up the chess pieces for a post-Trump era, watch how suddenly they promote Vance or some other shithead

            Smarter than Trump isn’t exactly a high bar. Without the threat of the redhats behind him, he’ll be toothless. If just billionaire backing was enough the republicans would have been god emperors of the earth forty years ago.

              I think red hats will follow whatever bait billionaires dangle in front of them. It only takes a little meeting among the puppeteers to decide whom to start promoting, and then they’ll all fall in line like good little pawns. They fall for it every single time, this much I know. If they can fall for Bush Jr., for Trump, then the next person will be no different. In fact, they’ll just go, “You guys said Trump was a clown with the bronzer! Look how refined and sophisticated JD Vance is! He’s even a pretty good debater and just speaks facts that you don’t like!”

        Sure but think of lives that may be saved from him stopping from causing or continuing more wars. Neither thing is good and neither compare to each other. Just takes this from taking time for justice to a matter of urgency.

        And I’ve been a previous victim of sexual assault, it pains me to realize that the victims won’t be given the light they deserve. It pisses me off that he’s never going to see the result of it. Putting an urgent stop to death requires this guy needs to be stopped. Now. Less lives lost the better. Given the complete lack of remorse of the party that empowered the creep I can only see death as the only way he’s going to be stopped. Cuz No one is going to step up.

        I’d hope the victims should still get some compensation. I hope it comes in the form of yoinking any inheritance trump’s spawn were hoping to recieve and that his victims recieve it instead.
