Or they could get an actor of the same caliber as Christopher Reeve, who completely sold the idea of Clark not being immediately recognizable as Superman.

They’re talking about opening car doors for her.

They’re probably trying to take control of the party back from Trump. They did push back against him during his first term, but fell flat on their faces and started losing viewers to Newsmax. Now they’re trying to back it with data. They’ve spent the last few decades training their viewers to ignore data, though, so we’ll see how that goes.

At least denazification worked on Henry Ford. Someone showed him footage of the death camps and being confronted with the reality of it gave him a stroke that almost killed him, and which contributed to the cerebral hemorrhage that did kill him.

Fox learned during his first term that if they push too hard their viewers just go to Newsmax instead.

Zelensky hasn’t put on a suit since the war started. He also has been maintaining a short beard and keeping his hair slightly mussed. It’s a powerful image for the men and women fighting for Ukraine’s freedom, showing that their president is right there with them where a suit and tie would make him look more like Farquaad.

So do a single camera and air it live.

Yeah, a not-insignificant portion of Trump’s voters are people who have been shafted by the system and are desperate for change, any change. Two out of three times, Trump was the candidate offering change. That he’s destroying stuff is, to them, secondary at best because they think their lives can’t get much worse anyway.

Sounds like the shit NK says about the Kims.

As VP, Vance would be on Air Force Two as a precaution.

My parents tried to teach me how to use a manual transmission, but I simply could not get the timing down no matter how much I practiced.

The old cars were also designed in such a way that you had to understand how the thing was constructed and functioned in order to make it work. Nowadays, I only barely understand how shifting gears works mechanically and drive an automatic. Modern cars do much of the work for you, much like modern computers.

Not an organic one. He has more human-like bodies available. He even dated Michiko Arasaka with one.

When was the duet? Because Kid Rock used to be significantly further left than he is now.

The amazing thing is it’s not even the first time they’ve leveraged a movement for votes and then lost control of it. A century ago, the Republican Party was just the corporatocracy party. This doesn’t get you votes and they were getting annihilated by the Democrats, so they used the Southern Strategy to get the racist vote. They didn’t actually care one way or the other, but it got them votes. Then the racists started getting elected as Republicans and the corpocrats lost control of the party for a while. Then they did it with evangelicals and had the same problem. Now they’ve done it with fascists.

At this point I’d say we’re deep into the ‘enemy of my enemy’ area. Focus on the one actively ruining things, then deal with the rest later. The trap we’d need to avoid is continuing to treat people like Bannon as allies once Trump and Musk have been dealt with, an issue that happens a lot with this kind of situation.

They’re pretty bitter when you’re young, but your taste buds usually become less sensitive to it as you age.

The Praetorian Guard killed some emperors, but that isn’t an official duty of the Secret Service. Of course, it wasn’t an official duty of the Praetorian Guard either.

So he can be the guy who saved America. If he keeps his head down and looks like the sane one while Trump and Musk go full Nazi and he removes them from power, he’ll have an insanely high approval rating, even if he doesn’t roll back anything they did. He’d probably win the 2028 election in a landslide, and since he’d have served just under half of Trump’s term he’d be eligible for re-election in 2032.

My money is on Vance removing Trump via the 25th amendment in spring of 2027, then firing Musk.
