Trump Will Fire JD Vance

@LeopoldBloom Trump was a big fat albatross tied around himself from the day the left went after him. Trump has been loyal and did not fire himself. Loyalty is a big thing with Trump.

@LeopoldBloom


And of course they had to freeze out that Jewish guy from Pennsylvania... he wouldn't sit well with the Hamas wing of the party. 🙄

@BohemianBabe Cat lady responds in a letter to the NY Times.

To the Editor:
JD Vance, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, said in 2021, “We’re effectively run, in this country, via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.”

I would say this to Mr. Vance:

I was a childless cat lady: three cats, no kids.

I thought fertility was a given. There was no medical reason I couldn’t have children. Yet it did not happen. Three cats. A great career. No kids.

I was, in effect at 38, a “childless cat lady.”

I pursued fertility treatments. Treatments that many Republicans want to ban.

I had painful tests, surgeries, running to the lab—five vials of blood drawn every day at 6 a.m.—then rushing to work for a minimum 12-hour day.

Childless cat lady lawyer. Meow.

I had one fabulous child at 38 with I.V.F. She was a triplet, but I lost my daughter’s siblings.

I was pregnant three other times. I lost two other babies at four months. I needed a D and C: same procedure as an abortion. If I didn’t have the surgery, I would have died.

Another lifesaving procedure that Republicans seek to criminalize.

So, Mr. Vance: I embrace “childless cat lady.” I was one, yet I was at all times a highly effective litigator in a large and dynamic practice. I did not sit at home and bemoan my childless state.

The letter came from Melville, New York.

@ElwoodBlues It's so perfect that the party that wants to ban IVF has a veep nominee who will stop couples from having children, then shame them for not being able to. Meanwhile, Tim Walz has a daughter because of IVF. It's like we're in a movie here. The good guys and the bad guys are so clearly defined.

@LeopoldBloom I'm not so sure. It happened in 1972 under different circumstances. But Trump could ask him to resign or drop out (same as being fired). I don't believe a person can be forced to be on the ticket if he doesn't want to.

@LeopoldBloom Remember, only the DemoNAZI party puts in nominees who never got a single vote.
The Republican Party is above that sort of thing.

@Reason10 I guess that would be the NAZI way however the Demo nominee got over 99% of the vote.

Of course you probably don't understand how the parties nominate their candidates.

@Reason10 Says
Does the name Gerald Ford not ring a bell??

@Reason10 I get it. You thought Traitor Tot would beat Biden in a cakewalk. Now he could lose and you're terrified.

It's hilarious how the only people complaining about how Harris was nominated would never have voted for Biden. The fact is that Biden was never the nominee. The nominee was chosen at the convention after Biden dropped out. Of course, since you people support slavery, it's not surprising that you think Biden should be forced to run for president even if he doesn't want to.

@LeopoldBloom

You have it exactly backwards, Leo.

Biden was forced NOT to run, even though he didn't want NOT to run. 🤭

[media=https://youtu.be/ANl1LEAOSGE]

"I'm not going anywhere," Biden said, meaning he wasn't going to quit the race.

You even parroted his line, Leo, while you still thought it was the approved line. 🤭🤭🤭

@sree251 Sure, for children maybe. Foul language is not out of bounds for adults. Don't use it if you don't want to. Your prerogative. I don't care for name calling but I'm a big boy, I can take it.

@MoveAlong
Using foul language in a serious conversation is akin to coming on stage at a seminar without without pants and underwear. Decorum, man. This is not a truck stop.

@sree251
I did this three times this week.

@BohemianBabe
What do you want me to say? We are proud of our crazies in America?

@Thinkerbell Nobody forced Biden out. He wasn't removed by a 25th Amendment action. He made the decision to drop out because it was obvious that he would lose to Trump.

I'm not convinced that this wasn't planned even before the debate. The transition from Biden to Harris was too smooth to have been arranged in just a few days. It wasn't just getting Whitmer, Newsom, Shapiro, etc. on board. She had to take over Biden's entire campaign apparatus. Same with picking Walz. The official story built up the drama - would it be him, Shapiro, Mark Kelly, Pete Buttigieg? Either these people are logistical geniuses or they were working on this a lot longer than it appeared.

@LeopoldBloom Let's get back to Vance for a moment. Here's JD in his bullet proof box with his armed guards around him yesterday, telling Americans that school shootings are just a fact of life. SAD!!


Yes, dozens of your children will be needlessly killed in school this year, but that's sacrifice the GQP is willing to make to keep the support of the gun lobby.

@ElwoodBlues If Trump wins, he will immediately be removed via the 25th amendment so this guy can be installed. Imagine Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and the Heritage Foundation running the country.

@LeopoldBloom


Biden "made the decision" because big donors were dropping him, and important Democrats were putting pressure on him to drop out, Leo, so I guess "it depends on what 'the meaning of 'forced' is," to slightly paraphrase a former president. 🙄

"Isolated, frustrated and angry, [Biden] felt betrayed by allies who turned on him in his hour of need."

"Mad as he was — and still is — Biden came grudgingly to accept that he could not sustain his campaign with poll numbers slipping, donors fleeing and party luminaries pushing him to exit. He may have been slower than other Democratic insiders to make that calculation, but he fully understood it by Saturday night."

Really? "They" somehow knew he would botch the debate as badly as he did?
But how could "they" know that, Leo?
You and Ellie and other party-line Democrats were insisting that there was "nothing wrong with Biden,
except for a lifelong stutter." 🙄🙄

And even after the debate, Leo, you insisted that the content of what Biden said was better than Trump's content, it was just that Biden's delivery was bad that night. 🙄🙄🙄

And this "planning" that you so recently came to suspect, Leo, would have been all for naught if Biden had held his own during the debate, or at least hadn't lost it quite so disastrously. 🙄🙄🙄🙄


Nah...neither of the above.
Democrats are famous for toeing the latest party line, whatever it may be, with the exception of the far-left wing, but they of course love the idea of a Kamala presidency, so no problem.
Newsom, Whitman, Buttigieg, etc all knew that they had better keep quiet and go along with Kamala; it would be racist to do otherwise.


Yet another conspiracy theory, Leo?
Tsk, tsk... 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

@Thinkerbell
If that's being forced, then whenever someone makes a decision because social pressure is a factor, they were forced. You could also say Biden was forced to run for president in the first place.

This is the cult-mentality of the Right. You can't acknowledge when someone outside of the cult does something honorable. I don't like Biden either, he funded a genocide. But I'll give him massive credit for dropping out for the good of America.
