JDivian Vance, vice president of the United States, is a man of great ambition. He is also a man of great unpopularity. These things generally cancel each other out in the life of a politician. But Vance’s impression of his own importance is so solid that this rule no longer applies. And it appears that he may have found his own conservative Sanhedrin, one willing to pay the 30 pieces of silver it would take to sell out the boss, in the wilds of Montana. From the Associated Press:
Vice President JD Vance on Tuesday made a brief trip to Montana, where he spoke to media mogul Rupert Murdoch; his son Lachlan Murdoch, the head of Fox News and News Corp.; and a group of other Fox News executives, according to two people familiar with the trip. Vance met with the group at the Murdoch family ranch in southwest Montana near Dillon, according to the people. They confirmed the visit to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about it. It’s not clear why the vice president addressed the group or what they spoke about.
Fuck…, this is kinda starting to seem a lot like a standard Thiel style coup. Especially combined with the Trump health reports. On the one hand Vance doesn’t have the popularity to maintain a voter base, but on the other, if he replaces Trump as president he is going to waste no time getting rid of the last remaining scraps of democracy.
It seems a bit early for him to do this, but he has to kill his papa sooner or later.
It’s more likely that Murdoch reached out to Trump telling him the article was being made, Trump sent Vance to go demand it wasn’t, and Vance/Murdoch didn’t have a way to stop it or didn’t come to an agreement. After all Trump knew about the article before it was published and said he told him not to publish it but said “Murdoch didn’t have the ability” to stop it before it came out.
Reasonable guess but still amusing how this looks.
Every Sith eventually betrays his master
the rule of two
“I am sorry, papa. It is time for ze spotlighten to shift to mine self.”
That would be a diabolical way to shift the MAGAts to his side. Just spin the story as him saving them from the one who betrayed them.
Since this immediately followed that picture, for a second I thought you meant they were going to dress up Vance as a child. You know, since so many Republicans are pedophiles.
Because that would be diabolical.
It’s the most consistent play in Russian politics. Since Lennin anyways.
geopolitics, firehood of falsehood, conspiracies all traces back to russia.
To be fair, I’m not sure anybody expected orange julius to live long enough to even be a candidate this time around, let alone survive an entire term. Dude seriously does not take care of himself
You know how this works, he has to kill him even if he’s dead.
