    There is a bit of a backstory here. The Trump anointed candidate in a deep red district is running against incumbent Bob Good, who is a straight up, hard core election denier (who supported Ron DeSantis in the primaries before switching back to Trump). Things are so bad for Bob Good that he is campaigned hard in the blue parts of his district. And now the challenger John McGuire is also going blue and taking the Bleached Blonde, Bad-Built, Butch with him. It ends as expected.

    The wealthy elite and guys like Trump don't care. They don't care about pushing more into poverty, more kids born into poverty, and millions more without affordable healthcare. The more money they can make, the greedier they become.

    The sad part is those MAGA dumbasses living in poverty, or barely above the poverty level think they do.

    I think the front runners are Cotton and Vance, but don't sleep on Carson, that dude is ready to do the king`s bidding and he is "polite" when he spews his daily lies, Carson would be as quiet as a mouse and would do everything his king told him to do

    Trump loyalists only support police when it fits their agenda. Nothing speaks scumbags louder than a bunch of disgusting GOP Representatives booing, hissing, yell "traitors", to Capitol police officers being honored for defending the Capitol on Jan 6th.

    I think the guy with a combo of the loudest mouth, the most on board repeating Trump's lies, praising him the most, the one who is willing to help him plot, deceive, and commit themselves to it, legal or not, the one in favor of unlimited terms for President, immunity for the President, in favor of Dictatorship/Authoritarian led government, and the one all in on retribution and persecution of anyone who dares to question his actions will be his pick. It's all about what You can do for me, and not what you can do for anyone else.

    My bet is Doug Burgum .. because who the eff is Burgum.

    ETA:
    The most entertaining pick would be BoBo ... just for the off chance that she refers to Trump publicly as "Big Daddy".

    Yep there will be no political strategy on this one unless he maybe picks Tim Scott (which I doubt... I bet he thinks he's too "weak"). Trump is simply going to pick a VP that he trusts to do his bidding, and is clearly a fascist.

    Which is going to be indicative of his campaign as it ramps up. There will be the campaign that Trump runs (which will be openly fascist & corrupt), and then there's the fictitious one that the oligarch owned media, and politically savvy, but motivated for power Trump supporters will tell you Trump is running.

    I'm guessing if Trump is allowed to speak for himself, and make the decisions he wants to make, then he'll be running the most fascist political campaign we've ever seen since Hitler... and that's not a comparison I use lightly.

    However the issue is most people won't see it, and will just believe that it's something else entirely based on what they hear in short snippets on the local news, other propaganda outlets, in their church groups, and through friends. Many people will vote for him based on hearing none of his actual campaign, and believe the lie that they are just voting for "A businessman who will be good for the economy."

    Look at the people he is considering. Trump will never EVER pick someone he views could take his place after 4 years. He will never EVER pick someone he views as smarter than he is. Well I am not sure he believes anyone is smarter than he is.

    A failure to feel any guilt or shame about one’s misdeeds is considered the mark of a psychopath (if the lack of guilt or shame pervades all or most aspects of his life).

    He isn't a one time, one innocent mistake kind of guy. He commits crimes over and over and over again. He is incapable of admitting wrongdoing, incapable of telling the truth, and nobody or nothing can change that about him.

    Trump has denied wrongdoing in all four of the criminal cases he is facing, and has cast himself as the victim of a politically motivated justice system as he seeks to reclaim to the White House in November.

    Trump has vehemently denied the dozens of sexual assault accusations stemming back decades. He never admits guilt or shame for anything he does, no matter who he attacks, and no matter how vulgar, cruel, or inhumane the attacks are.

    Trump has conned, lied, cheated, and stolen his way through life, with nothing but admiration for himself. He will never change. He will keep breaking the law, and keep hurting others until he is finally put in prison or a mental institution. This man is the most psycho criminal candidate for President I've ever seen in my lifetime.

    Of course they did. One is black and the other is Dominican. Probably secret ANTIFA FBI Agents dressed like cops trying to stop Patriotic Americans from peacefully expressing their displeasure in the fake election results and not letting these Patriotic Americans beat the other ANTIFA FBI Agents dressed like cops.

    Incredibly simple solution, quit having kids with someone that isn't tied to you. If daddy government isn't there to hand out a check every month for rent and another for food, someone might be a bit more selective in who they choose to sleep with. Allow people to suffer the consequences of their own choices.

    the former criminal, now a GOP lawmaker, made this blatant . ignorant lie, that black families were better off under the Jim Crow era


    however, house minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries, would have none of these lies and called him out



    "It has come to my attention that a so-called leader has made the factually inaccurate statement that Black folks were better off during Jim Crow," the highest-ranking House Democrat said Wednesday.

    "We were not better off when people could be systematically lynched without consequence," Jeffries added. "How dare you make such an ignorant observation. You better check yourself before you wreck yourself."​
