had a falling out
Boy that's the most sanewashed way saying 'whipped up a mob that wanted to hang him' I think I've ever seen. Kudos, I guess?

MODERATORS
It was a mild disagreement related to vertebra and the application of rope.
The crowd was literally chanting "hang Mike Pence". Kudos to him for not going along with Trumps plan of overthrowing the election.
Yet still I can't help but wonder whether he was secretly hoping for Trump to lose the 3rd election and the Republican party returning to its old ways somehow. Why? Because he's been suspiciously silent ever since when he had the cachet and moral standing to be one of his greatest detractors (from the Republican side).
Just want to say Fuck Mike Pence. He has no room to say shit and again fuck this guy.
Oh fuck off. No more redemption stories. No one should fall for this shit. Especially from a low charisma shit head like Mike pence.
Mike Pence should suck a dildo while wearing baby diapers an minding his "Mother"
I imagine she likes it rough
Pence made that bed - he needs to lie in it now.
Well he did try to murder him
There is almost a zero chance Trump will run in 2028. He is old and that would be his third term. JD Vance is really the successor.
JD Vance is a charisma vacuum who is just plain weird. No chance the Republicans run him.
i heard he tried to have sex with a sofa or something
JD Vance fucked a couch, not a sofa.
I see! Thank you for clarifying. Poor couch 😓
Sofa king, a couch?
I think Trump going after birthright citizenship is him paving the way for Musk to run officially
We will see in 4 years
If he's alive, he'll run. I know it's unconstitutional. But he'll still run with some bs excuse for why he's still eligible.
He'll say he rightfully won in 2020 so this will be payback for that. And by 2028 everyone who disagrees with him publicly will be disappeared so his argument will be accepted. Personally I think he dies before the end of this term.

Prior to FDR, there was a convention -- but no legal restriction -- that Presidents would only serve two terms. This stemmed from some statement that Washington made -- he was getting really old, not far from dying and didn't really want to be President in the first place, but got repeatedly argued into it, as he was one figure that had widespread support across the country.
FDR broke that convention, served three-and-some terms and died in office.
After that, Republicans passed the Twenty-second Amendment prohibiting Presidents from serving more than two terms.
Today, you can only do two full terms. If you succeed an existing president -- like, you're Vice President and the President dies in office, you can do part of that, can't recall what portion is permissible. So Trump is out after this term.
pokes around
Yeah, can be any partial amount of their term, isn't like "over 50% of their term" counts as a term.
Honestly with all the stuff going on right now with laws and the constitution being violated on the federal level the real question is who would enforce that he can't run again? Sure some blue states might take him off the ballot but he probably wasn't going to win those ones anyways. He has both the supreme Court and Congress on his side right now and if he still has that in four years I could easily see him running again with no one to really stop him.
the constitution being violated on the federal level
What ways do you feel that the Consitution is being violated on the federal level that the courts have disregarded?
Sure the courts are doing a good job at pushing back for now but all it will take is some of these cases going to the supreme court for that to change. Both Trump and Vance have already openly said that they shouldn't have to follow judges' orders and seem to be building a case for openly defying the judiciary that's justified in the eyes of their supporters. And this is all within the first month of him being in office, it's only gonna get worse from here and by the time the next election comes around who knows what the situation will look like but I can easily see a future where he runs for election again and no one is left to stop him other than attempts by blue states.
Nobody went to prison for stealing classified documents and selling them. Nobody went to prison for accepting foreign bribes to a political campaign. Nobody went to prison for extorting Ukraine for campaign funds.
…I could go on all day, the list of federal crimes Trump has committed is truly endless.
So it wouldn't even be unconstitutional if someone kept running for vice president and have the presidents resign immediately after being sworn in?
Isnt this Trump 3.0?
