Its amazing to see how fast and far the democratic party managed an absolute loss around into a nearly absolute win. Same for Trump and co conspirators, about a mo th ago they were on for an absolute win and now he’s continuously cutting the tree branch he’s sitting on…

Just do not be mistaken though. I fully expect Harris to win with a land slide but that matters not. Various states WILL sabotage the election z refuse to respect the democratic votes from the people, and just send Republicans as winners for that state. Trump too will try another coup, and I think it’s not unfair to expect that coup to be bigger and more violent than the January 6 coup. Come to think of it, it’s insane that trump still hasn’t been convicted for that one.

Vote like your life depends on it. When you’ve solved that problem, then you get to dealing with Donnie’s second go at an attempted coup. One thing at a time.

Absolutely

Of course he will try.

One of the differences this time is that he doesn’t have the power to delay the deployment of defensive resources.

And nobody is dismissing it as impotent bluster this time.

Buddahriffic ,

The problem is how do you handle house representatives that refuse to do their job in good faith? The rules say that the president is determined a certain way, what do you do when those rules are used to defy the will of the people? They’ve already caused presidents who have lost the popular vote.

The defensive resources will come into play after that question is answered and it’s impossible at this point to tell which side will benefit from them.

I just hope that there aren’t many people that oppose Trump on principle but ultimately think that if the rules say “hand over the country to the fascists”, that’s the right thing to do.

phoenixz ,

Yeah but what he does have now is a shit loaf of people who now have the jobs of the people who stopped falsifying election results on the state level last time. Most of then either moved on or relented under the pressure of threats. John Oliver had a nice piece about it some two years back

SwingingTheLamp ,

It’s gratifying to see President Biden quoted in an interview saying that he doesn’t think that The Biggest Loser will concede peacefully. It may be his job to order a former President detained for national security reasons, probably at Guantanamo Bay, so he’s inaccessible to the insurgent mob trying to free him.

So the party with a history of inciting vigilante violence storms a VPs airplane and isn’t shot dead by secret service.

Is there an issue with the secret service actually doing their job, or do they just give Republicans a pass?

awesome_lowlander ,

Why would the secret service be guarding an empty plane?

Microw ,

To prevent things like bombs being planted?

Cypher ,

TBF its the same SS that thought a shooter on a rooftop overlooking a candidate was no issue

DragonTypeWyvern ,

I mean, I’d have slacked off too

awesome_lowlander ,

Isn’t that what regular security is for?

skvlp ,

Secret Service is regular security for a vice president.

awesome_lowlander ,

I suppose as a non American my idea of what the secret service actually is / does may be a little skewed by Hollywood

captainlezbian ,

It’s basically government security for the president and vice president as well as all former ones because we have a long history of shooting our presidents. They also investigate counterfeiting which was their original job, they just happened to be formed shortly before the first successful presidential assassination

wanderer ,

The secret service exists to prevent counterfeiting US money, as a side job they also protect a few people in government.

n0m4n ,

Vance is bombing big time.

kent_eh ,

To prevent weirdos from wandering in and jerking off on the furniture?

Draedron ,

To prevent JD from fucking any couches in there?

_bcron ,

They probably view Vance less as a threat and more as an awkward and socially oblivious guy

Buddahriffic ,

If they were tasked with protecting a furniture outlet, on the other hand…

as a vp candidate from a major party, vance also gets secret service protection

ReCursing ,

So… secret service vs secret service shootout? Maybe it happened and it was so secret no-one knows about it!

HonkTonkWoman ,

My dad knows a guy who got shot. Totally. He works with him over at that place where the cheese is made. I mean beer. They make all the beer together and they’re good friends and I know him too. My dad can beat up your dad.

J.D. Vance is a U.S. Senator. The Secret Service killing him would be the opposite of doing their job…

What if they thought they smelled fentanyl or heard an acorn drop?

frezik ,

If they thought they smelled fentanyl, they would have a seizure and pass out. Fentanyl doesn’t affect cops the way it affects human beings.

Somethingcheezie ,

Killing and barring entrance are very different. Security clearances and need are big factors

He’s lying. He didn’t go on that plane to see her. The weirdo was going to take a look to see if her plane had any couches. He was feeling a little frisky.

He really wanted a seat in the Mile High club

Kimano ,

JD Vance is the only guy who can join the mile high club without leaving his seat.

ChowJeeBai ,

How do the secret service decide who to put to the ground if it had become tense? By rank?

DragonTypeWyvern ,

They definitely have a color chart, they’re cops too.

Somethingcheezie ,

Pretty sure sitting VP out ranks all but sitting president

OldWoodFrame ,

Whoever is being aggressive. If it’s just words they do nothing, if someone tries something physical they are stopped.

J.D. Vance Awkwardly Retreats After Weird Attempt to Storm Harris’ Empty Plane

Missed a golden opportunity to close the door and have the pilot fly them all to some backwater airport in Alaska, then see if they can find their own way back home.

qarbone ,

Is that…trafficking?

DokPsy ,

Apparently not if Republican officials do it. See: Abbott and the migrants he sent to Martha’s vineyard.

Crikeste ,

Nope! America ships immigrants all around the country just to fuck with them and nobody bats an eye.

Homeless people too!

Land of the free, home of the brave, baby. 😎🇺🇸🦅

HiddenLychee ,

Funded by conservatives and tax dollars too! They pick up illegal immigrants at the border and give them free plane tickets to large cities, then complain about how illegal immigrants are getting free rides into the country.

Sculptor9157 ,

They will easily be able to navigate based off of the Russian landmarks visible on the horizon.

AlpacaChariot ,

This plane needs a “No couches are left unattended in this vehicle” sticker.

Vance told a Philadelphia rally on Tuesday that he would “absolutely” want to debate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, if given the chance.

I hope you bring some lube because you’re gonna need it.

Zahille7 ,

I expect Walz to just be like: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/563db8f6-56f6-4dc6-9e73-4267e138ee6c.jpeg

Trained eye liner wearing monkey follows orders with absurd publicity stunts, showing exactly what sort of performative clown show you’d get if they’re elected, instead of actual policies and governance.
