    You assume Trump is anything more than the Heritage Foundation’s hand puppet. They’ll switch hands to Vance once Trump stops being useful, and he’s actually worse because he knows he’s a puppet and is still doing it willingly.

      Two things.

      First, do you think the Heritage Foundation is crazy enough to want a war?

      Second, Vance isn’t Trump. He hasn’t got what it takes to get the MAGats in line.

        1. If they can use it to invoke martial law, and then restructure things as they wish - absolutely. Few things are as profitable as war for those who can afford to sit back and watch, anyway.

        2. He doesn’t need to - they’re already there, and committed. Never mind HF is obviously intent upon leaving little left of the structure that allowed the US to even vaguely claim itself to be a democracy, so people liking Vance at that point is irrelevant.

        They walked around holding cups of Vance cum. I don’t know why people think he can’t get them in line. These are people that crave subjugation.
