Unbelievably, the betting markets have Vance as the favourite followed by Newsom followed by Rubio.

Vance is the "voice of reason" vis a vis DJT and has been groomed for a looong time. Hes as good a chance as any, don't be surprised if he has to take over during this admin.

Vance is there because he's a yes man with no morals / principles ...a vile sexual predator yes, a leader,no.

Vance is the cnut that was telling Germans to vote for the new Nazi Party.
Meanwhile I see the US Ambassador to Ireland attended/supported a conservative/right wing/nazifascist think tank in Drogheda the other week.
Is that not unacceptable interference in a Country's internal politics?
Play the game and play it fairly
Play the game like Dermot Earley.

Yes. It absolutely isn't done.

Look-Up!

Can't understand some Americans' loyalty to Trump especially the tough no compromise USA USA military family type who have long histories of ancestors serving. If ever there was an embodiment of a stolen valour bullshitter, it's Captain Bone Spur himself.

Man held down and shot in the back several times by ICE agents. All witnesses reported has having been lifted and taken to an ICE detention centre.

It'll be slow until it's a big bang but hard to see the US heading towards anything but mass unrest.

Civil war would imply someone leading it and that isn't happening.

That video is horrendous. What is happening in the US at the minute? Granted I don't know the build up but how did they open fire there when he was pinned to the ground.
It's going to get rough over there.

Trump's plan is to keep ramping up his brownshirts, the people will eventually fight back and he'll have an excuse to declare an emergency, send in the military and replace the state governments with his own puppets. Oh and cancel the midterms.

There are already organised hits being attempted against ICE so I would imagine the escalation ladder will be climbed until it gets really scary.

The guy shot dead was US citizen with gun permit I see.

"White" is a pretty broadly defined census category in the US these days.

Wasn't you justifying the previous murder by ICE. Citizen was holding a camera... held down by 5 of your heroes and murdered. Sooner ICE is taken on the better. Is like the British Army when they murdered civilians here in the early 70s... Bloody Sunday, Ardoyne, Coalisland, Pomeroy, Benburb...
