Link 1; Trump admits in an interview aired on CNN in 1999, that he believes the economy is stronger under democratic leadership.

Link 2; Trump says although he despises the concept of abortion, he values choice, and supports the movement to give women the power of choice. [TPM, 1999]

Link 3; Trump says in an interview he identifies more as Democrat than a Republican.

26 years later, he is the head of the opposition. He told the truth about his morals when his incentive to control the country didn’t exist. If you think this man cares about you for even a second, it is completely delusional. The only thing Trump has ever expressed care for is his own well-being. Supporting Trump only plays further into his power-hungry game for global attention.

I think something's about to happen. The uniparty may be about to pull the 25th on biden, and we may have a new president by the end of the weekend. Why? Easy;

Several stories out in the last couple weeks about bidens "diminished capacity"

Potus and VPotus rushed back to the swamp last night. biden from Delaware, and harris from California.

Installing harris now can serve two purposes; screw President Trump (and a lot of non-authorized vendors) out of the on-going branding of "47" *i.e. Trump as the 47th President. And more importantly, allowing harris to push thru a last-minute pardon for biden, and other co-conspirators, at about 11:45am on 1/20/25

Even worse, this could be the next step in delaying/preventing President Trump's inauguration, getting us deeper in to WW111, or even declaring martial law.

Somehow, the (US Government) drone story may be involved.

Buckle-up kids.

Did you watch the pbs documentary on the vice presidents yet and what did you think? And what vp that never became president do you think would have been best qualified to be president?

Yes, I was very much looking forward to PBS American Experience's "The American Vice President," and watched it as soon as it was released. I'm basically the target audience for documentaries like that, so I always appreciate and enjoy them. I will say that I thought that there were a lot of missed opportunities in it, however. I was really hoping that there would be some short biographical pieces on the various Vice Presidents, particularly many of the earlier VPs that nobody knows anything about. There are some really fascinating stories that could have been told about them, so I was a little bummed we didn't get that.

For the most part, the episode focused on the idea of the Vice Presidency as opposed to individual Vice Presidents. And it spent a lot of time on succession and the 25th Amendment. Now, that is no surprise -- that's basically the reason the Vice President exists in the first place. But at times it felt more like a documentary on continuity of government than the Vice Presidency, and I just wish there would have been more time spent on the personalities who have served in the position over the past 235 years.

As for the second part of your question, I'm going to do what the documentary largely did and answer based on the Vice Presidents since World War II. Once the nuclear age was upon us, the Vice Presidency became a more important role for those continuity of government reasons, and the quality and experience of most Vice Presidential candidates has improved during that time because it was more necessary to choose a running mate who was capable of actually taking over as President than balancing the ticket regionally or ideologically.

Since World War II, I think the Vice President who was best equipped to become President but never did was obviously Al Gore. I have always been shocked that Gore never made another run for the White House after 2000, but I also imagine that it must be an absolutely soul-crushing experience to run for President, seemingly win (and definitely win the popular vote), only to have the Presidency awarded to your opponent by a party-line decision of the United States Supreme Court.

Another post-World War II VP who never became President in his own right but probably would have been good in the job was Nelson Rockefeller. Because of the circumstances and brevity of his time as Vice President, Rockefeller is often forgotten about, but he was considered a real contender for the Presidency on numerous occasions before he was appointed to fill the Vice Presidential vacancy created when Gerald Ford succeeded Richard Nixon in the White House after Nixon resigned. Rockefeller won four elections as Governor of New York, all by comfortable margins, and he never achieved his Presidential goal because the timing was just never right for him. His best bet as a Presidential candidate should have been 1964 or 1968, but after JFK's assassination, few Republicans wanted to run against LBJ less than a year later (and with good reason, LBJ's popular vote landslide was huge). And by the time the 1968 election rolled around it became clear that Richard Nixon had spent his years in political exile following his humiliating loss in the 1962 California Gubernatorial race building a powerful campaign machine that helped sweep him into office. But when it comes to experience, few VPs were better qualified than Vice President Rockefeller.

If you haven't seen "The American Vice President" from PBS's American Experience, I would definitely recommend checking it out. You can watch it (and many of American Experience's other excellent documentaries) on the PBS website. It's also currently available to watch for free via the PBS feed on YouTube.

Trump destroying America because white people refuse to stop voting for racism.

So fucking depressing that white people could’ve cut the shit at any fucking time and they choose to vote for racism and chaos instead of Democracy and peace.

Donald Trump is a bully. First the border, then Ukraine, then Canada, then China. Why?

It’s simple; Trump’s behavior can be very predictable when you look at the authoritarian dictator handbook.

Trump is looking for a fight, as any middle school bully would. Only to a much larger scale, Trump is looking for a nation-wide crisis.

With something credible enough to pass as a national security crisis, he can pass a motion to declare martial law. The war between Iran and Israel is likely going to play into his next game.

Trump Weird News - Invoking 25th Amendment

[toshootforthestars]

[victusinveritas]

From ABC:

While answering questions at the end of his Cabinet meeting Wednesday, Pres. Trump seemed to acknowledge the real impacts his trade war with China could have on Americans.

"Maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls. You know, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more than they would normally," Trump said.

Trump has previously said that there would be disruptions, but for the first time, he acknowledged that many Americans might have to do with less as a result of the tariff standoff.

Can we please invoke the 25th Amendment and get this senile dementia-addled puppet out of the White House? Kamala is too stupid to sign these things. She would ask word salad questions for long enough that the Trump Administration would begin.

Have you seen his recent dementia-rage filled news conferences? This guy isn't all there. Why is he signing laws and regulations? He wouldn't even be allowed to sign legal documents at the DMV unassisted.

Time to call literally EVERYONE. Anyone in Congressional leadership should be called. Even if they don't represent you directly. Just make sure that you state that you are calling them because of their leadership position. For example: "Senator John Thune, I am calling because you are the Senate Majority leader and I am sure that you value and love the Constitution as much as I do. The president's posts on Truth Social and on the official White House social media pages declaring himself King are a direct threat to the Constitution. Please use the power placed in your hands as a co-equal branch of government and remove him from office. If necessary, please reach out to Vice President Vance and ask for the 25th Amendment to be implemented. Thank you so much for your time. I know you will stand up for the Founding Principles of America." I am not his constituent, but I was able to reach his DC office and they took my comment and said they would pass it on. I profusely thanked her and apologized for bothering her for matters outside of South Dakota, but reiterated that I was calling because he's the Senate Majority Leader and has more legislative obligations to the country than just to his state. Senator John Thune Senate Majority Leader DC Office: 202-224-2321 Aberdeen: 605-225-8823 Sioux Falls: 605-334-9596 Rapid City: 605-348-7551 Speaker Mike Johnson Speaker of the House DC Office: 202-225-2777 Bossier City: 318-840-0309 DeRidder: 337-226-6385 Northwestern State University: 337-423-423

Rep Hakeem Jeffries House Minority Leader DC Office: 202-225-5936 Central Brooklyn: 718-237-2211 South Brooklyn: 718-373-0033
