Of course they’ll screw up the TA-50 requirments for the soldiers sent there. They’ll be dressed for Hawai’i and wondering how it got so damn cold in a land called Green.

Dream on! They’ll just do it. Logic be damned!

Yet they’ve been preaching how they’re the party of all of family, etc. Quee Gertrude hit the nail on the head. They protest too much.

Dollars to donuts you’re thinking and praying the same things I am.

With him in charge, yeah, it’d still be a shit-show, but it’d likely be a shit-show with lots more infighting and pushback, which might be a bit less successful at ruining lives and destroying democracy.

Remember how the loyal Nazis in 1945 fell in line to adore Karl Dönitz after Dolph blew his brains out? Me neither. That’s because they didn’t. This would be no different. Whatever hold Firxt Felon47 has on the cult will not transfer to Vance. And the Roberts court, as packed as it is, owes him nothing.

Got mittens? Why, yes, I do. But I don’t need to wear them now. The weather over here is rather nice, if a bit windy.
