    I’m going to take a guess and assume it’s about taking over DeSantis’s war chest and campaign ppl since trump’s broke and no real personnel as his are getting indicted.

        Trading for a shitty enough VP that Dems might actually be afraid to impeach him.

        Trump aught to be impeached for the emoluments after the first month, but if a full fledged fascist is set to take his spot…

    If douchebaggery were a harnessable fissile energy source, these two shitcunts in close proximity could power North America for a thousand generations.

        Are you quoting the TV edit? I remember the quote being “… circumcise a gnat, Bug.”

        Either way… hilarious movie.

            Hey… if you’re old enough to recall the movie well enough to quote it, you’re allowed to flub an obscure quote. I was asking more to check my memory more than anything else, lol.

            God damnit, John Candy was such a fucking gem. Departed too soon.

      Sort of. There’s some electoral college fuckery due to the 12th amendment. Votes for president and vice president are counted separately and electors can’t vote for two people from their own state.

      So let’s say I’m an elector. The year is 2000. Bush and Cheney are on the ticket, both with Texas residency. They won with 271 total electoral votes. However, me and the other Texas folks can only vote for one of them, knocking Cheney back 32 electoral votes. The House would then need to vote on who the VP would be.

      This almost happened. However, Cheney changed his residency and moved back to Wyoming and put his Texas house up for sale. So that didn’t come up.

      Most of the time it wouldn’t matter, but in a close race it could. But with the Republican house (unless more leave before then) I don’t think that’s much of a worry for them. More concerning is the rate at which Trump is farting himself awake at his trial.

        Trump getting elected and Harris ending up as his VP in a fluke would surely cause his cheeseburger stuffed heart to finally give out, resulting in the most hilarious outcome of the election imaginable.

          Sure thing! There’s a lot of confusion about it and if I can help alleviate it then I consider it a privilege to do so.

    Remember how the right crucified Biden for picking Harris after they sparred during the debates? I’m sure they’ll be first to criticize this…right?

      Did they? I remember it differently, I guess. Harris had a very pointed attack on Biden in one of the debates, and when he ended up picking her, I saw it as a sign of maturity and growth from his old-fashioned ways.

      Sparring during debates is one thing. Trump absolutely shat upon DeSantis for the better part of a year. I just don’t know how voters can forget “desanctimonious.”

    HAH! If they manage to get through a single photo op I’ll be surprised. These spewholes are so narcissistic and petty there isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell it will last for more than two minutes.
