After the photo went viral, Travis Whitfill, an Assistant Professor Adjunct in Pediatrics at Yale School of Medicine, claimed he was the source of the photo., US News News - Times Now

      Everybody should calm it with the jokes for 6 weeks, then unleash all the pent up puns and jokes. 6 weeks before the election should be close enough to not switch veep pick anymore, even for Don the Con

      There’s a problem with that - Shady Vance was nominated at the RNC convention (unlike Biden who was not yet nominated by 2024 Democratic national convention). Getting rid of Shady will require approval from RNC - not a big deal since Eric’s wife and rest of MAGA lackeys runs RNC these days. Problem is they have to do it before the states publish their general election ballots. Last I heard, the deadline for that was approaching this week.

      I’m going for a trifecta: $50 says that…

      • JD Vance is fired by the end of August
      • Trump suffers a heart attack or stroke from the stress of bad ratings polling and dies shortly afterwards
      • Republican party, totally clueless as to what to do tries to put forward a Mike Johnson/JD Vance ticket after loads of completely idiotic infighting that will have everyone scratching their heads, saying, “WTF?”

      Bonus: Ron DeSantis and Marco Rubio will both be pissed beyond belief and still in complete denial that nobody really likes them.

      If something would happen along those lines, and I don’t think they will, i think he’ll just be forced to quit, not fired.

          By RNC rules, Vance would have to step down first. He can’t be replaced unilaterally (though trump could pressure him to do so or the like)

            Tbf, I could ENTIRELY see a circumstance where Trump “fires” him anyway, Vance doesn’t step down, Trump ignores this and proceeds to pick a new VP even though he technically can’t, and both Vance and new guy spend the remainder of the election desperately trying to get orange senpai to notice them.

        I mean, his previous administration was a constant revolving door, alluding that he made many mistakes

        Bruh, trump loves firing people, and his supporters love him firing people.

        There’s no blame on himself when trump fired someone, that’s who’s getting all the blame and usually why they’re being fired.

        Not how it works. The blame will go to staffers which will be demonized as liberal traitors who infiltrated the campaign to hamper his absolute path to victory in November.

        He is the hero who corrected the mistake and now puppy killer K. Noem is the right choice.

        he fired a lot of his own appointees wouldn’t those also be error admissions? Not to mention that he’ll happily gaslight news anchors etc.

        My guess is he picked Vance to secure financial support from silicon valley billionaires and he needs that money more than anything
