    I mean not if the thing happens. Vance is just as evil but the absurdity will decrease.

    Vance doesn't appear to have any beliefs beyond that power is good and he should have it.

    Minimal personality too, really.

    Fucking hell. You threw all that shade without a single ‘please’, let alone a “thank you”?

    Vance probably also will not be able to keep the cult together in the long run so that’s good

    If it's after midterms and Dems keep the house, then the GOP would lose a senate vote as long as House Dems don't approve a new VP

    Under the 25th amendment, when a VP takes the office of presidency, they appoint a successor to be VP who must be confirmed by a simple majority in both houses

    They embraced the simulacrum of gilded age America so hard they decided that corruption for the sake of corruption itself was more important than any of the outcomes it produced.

    Maybe we just think that because time makes things appear classy. Maybe in 100 years the Trump Epoque style will be seen as classic and refined.

    The rich are bored and richer than ever

    Back in the gilded age wealth had less to spend on market wise so the purchases they made were insane and exotic. I remember the Vanderbilts bought entire staircases and shit from random European monasteries that they liked and imported them and installed them into their mansions.

    Today entire industries service only wealthy people so it’s less esoteric and most of it is pointless. “Want a 25k phone that’s just a phone wrapped in pure gold and diamonds? Wanna 2k ice cream where the ice is shaved from the Himalayas and it’s sprinkled with edible gold flakes?”

    SS: We live in the stupidest timeline and multilateral meetings are now being rescheduled over cage fighting.

    France will delay this year’s Group of 7 summit to avoid a conflict with the mixed martial arts event planned at the White House on June 14, two officials with direct knowledge of G7 planning told Politico. Paris had previously announced that this year’s gathering of G7 leaders would take place from June 14 — which is both Flag Day in the US and President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday — to June 16 in Evian-les-Bains on the shores of Lake Geneva. But Trump in October announced that the White House would host a “big UFC fight” on June 14. Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO Dana White told CBS News Thursday that the logistics of the event have been finalized. White said the event will gather up to 5,000 people on the South Lawn of the White House.

    French President Emmanuel Macron’s office declined to confirm whether the change, which has now been made official on the G7’s website, is directly linked to the UFC event and said the new schedule is “the result of our consultations with G7 partners.” The US Embassy in Paris did not immediately respond to Politico’s request for comment. The possibility that the G7 summit could be postponed because of Trump’s birthday was first reported by local media LeMessager.
