you got any links?

it really is weird though that i can't think of anyone off the top of my head that discusses US politics that can do something like this. i mean it doesn't even seem difficult to 1: know how big the US debt is, and 2: have a general definition of facism. and then ask the person for details. same thing with that shapiro interview. dude loving called andrew neil a liberal and _then_ got up and walked away. (because he's scared of liberals?)

this would be dangerous if pete buttigieg had any charisma or was funny.

I live in Seoul, and tonight I walked past two Korean women in Gangnam Station holding American flags and Stop the Steal signs.

They smiled at me and I eyerolled hard and just walked away.

What the hell so they hope to accomplish here? Why even give a poo poo?

There were a ton of Trump supporters turning out at the Park Geun Hye rallies as well, when she got impeached and removed for turning over the country to a shamanic priestess, a gigolo and a KPop music video director.
i was in seoul the day after park geun-hye resigned and they still had the protest march that saturday. i did see a whole bunch of older koreans with signs that apparently supported her, even without reading the hangul they gave off boomer vibes. didn't see any american flag waving or trump supporters though.

quote:

Incumbent Vice President Mike Pence's political career is going to be ruined because of Donald Trump's overwhelming love for the presidency.

President Trump has already poured water on Pence's political ambitions. Trump's strong attraction to the White House is responsible for Pence's downfall.




There have long been rumours that Vice President Mike Pence may seek a Republican nomination in the 2024 presidential election. Trump is ignoring Mike Pence's political hopes.

In the meantime, he has started paving the way for becoming a presidential candidate in 2024. He has already taken special initiative to work towards that goal. In this situation, it is normal for Pence to be disappointed.

CNN reported, A few days after the US election, Mike Pence called a close friend of his. They talked for about 30 minutes. Pence's friend said Pence had called to discuss the situation and its impact on the Republican Party.

He expressed optimism about the success of Donald Trump's efforts to reduce the number of ballots but had doubts about the preparation of various cases on the allegation of fraud.

Whatever he is, Mike Pence has been very cautious since the election. He continues to maintain a balance.

Speaking after the election, Pence refrained from fully supporting Trump's bogus demands. Rather he repeatedly spoke of every valid vote count.

And when Donald Trump hired himself to discover and propagate the fraud and conspiracy theories behind his election defeat, Mike Pence toured the region to campaign for the Republican candidates in Georgia's Senate elections to restore public confidence on the COVID-19 vaccine and the administration.

Seven Republican leaders close to Mike Pence told CNN that Mike Pence is still dedicated to Donald Trump.

He has been hoping for a long time that he will be the next Republican presidential candidate after Trump. He kept a bird's eye view of 2024. But now Donald Trump is standing in the way of his hope.

Trump has said he is not going anywhere. He wants another term in the White House. He has now brought the issue of elections in 2024 to the fore.

He has also started raising funds for this purpose since the election. The problem is, as long as Trump is in the running, Pence has no hope.

Pence has not yet announced a clear plan for what he will do after the deadline, CNN reported. He didn't even decide where to stay. Mike Pence and his wife, Karen Pence, have been living in government housing since moving to the Indianapolis governor's residence in 2013.

Now that his vice presidency has expired, he is looking for a permanent home to live in permanently.

His relatives think Pence will return to Indiana. However, the vice president's office could not be reached for comment.

Pence has been in government for 20 years. He has served six terms as a member of the US House of Representatives. He has been the Governor of Indiana for four years.

Then another four years as vice president. His friends say Pence needs to focus on income. If he does not earn, he will not work.

"He has to work," a senior Republican who knows Mike Pence told CNN.

Former Pence spokesman John Thomson, however, suggests some alternatives. "He has some options," he told CNN. Most former U.S. presidents and vice presidents have written books. Pence can also earn money by doing so.

Apart from this, you can also earn money by giving speeches. He can try both. Many of the former presidents and vice presidents of the United States Democrats and Republicans are doing this.

He can also contribute as an experienced adviser to the Republican Party. Whatever Trump's decision, Pence can certainly play a role.
"Over the next two years, he can continue his political and economic activities by lecturing around the country, engaging in various activities of the Republican Party, attending various meetings of Republican candidates in the midterm elections, raising funds for them or supporting them," said Thomson. Then either he will consider whether he will contest in the next election. '

However, the top leadership of the Republican Party has considered Pence as the presidential candidate in the next election.

Mike Pence is one of the few important potential leaders invited to attend next month's Republican National Committee meeting.

Pence is seen as one of the most important Republican candidates in the 2024 election. Other leaders in the Trump administration include Nikki Haley and Mike Pompeo. Among the senators are Tom Cotton and
According to political analysts, Pence's political future may look bleak now, but things will change over time.

Many feel that what Trump is telling now about another round of presidential elections will change over time. As time goes on, the interest of Trump will ebb.

With the reaction of the people of the United States under the new administration, Trump could take a lot out of the scene. At this point, Mike Pence will come to the front again in silence.

How do you collect on this though? Even when Biden is sitting in the white house on jan 21, your acquaintance is going to support the shadow presidency out of mar-a-lago.

Well, any normal and sane person would have settled up already, but he set the terms as "whoever is inaugurated on January 20th". I think he'll probably pay up even if he still believes Trump is his god-king, but I've already donated the $100 to the dog rescue I was going to make him contribute to, so best case he gives them another $100, so it's not really much of a 'loss' for him other than the actual admission of the loss on the wager.

I read something that made a lot of sense to me when I had previously been baffled by it. Basically its about how so many Americans can be so pro Russia at this point and support them, the person explained it as the following:

You got a pro white nation, that is anti gay and has a leadership that does whatever it wants. It kills opposition members and when reporters try to challenge Putin or cover a story they are killed. Everyone knows who did it and that's the point, to create fear. Men are the ones who decide everything, thanks to changes in the law you can beat up a woman and not be charged for it, their rights are not as important nor are they as protected. Russia is in essence, the Republicans dream paradise.

It's definitely what the trumpers want.

This is kinda dumb. It's ignoring the fact that Pence was in charge of the Coronavirus response and hosed it up so bad over 400,000 deaths will be on his hands. There is no way you can even contemplate trying to staying in politics once he's out. He'll have to find a Republican business owner to grift off of who feels sorry for him. His political career ended with Trump.

Considering how Republicans and their supporters don't seem to care about the crazy number of dead so far It's hard to say that it will have any real impact on him. They're not even pretending to care so far. No it's all about the election.

But we do know what day at what hour that will change.

Republicans won't even admit to those people dying of covid, they'll give zero fucks about holding him accountable. If anything kills his political career it'll be the fact that he's boring.

On Trump and the virus:

Several people told the Post that Trump has "given up" on the pandemic and that he didn't expect to go on for as long as it has.

Paul A. Offit, a member of the FDA's vaccine advisory council, said: "He's a salesman, but this is something he can't sell. So he just gave up. He gave up on trying to sell people something that was unsellable."

Olivia Troye, a former Pence adviser who resigned in the summer told the Post: "I would love to say that I'm shocked, but I'm not. People are still dying every day...To see a sitting president directly refuse to help during a crisis is just flabbergasting to me."
