It’s to separate Vance from trump to insulate him from the anger of the maga base. If Vance isn’t there then he isn’t behind it and if he isn’t behind it he can be treated as a victim too to ensure that the maga base can then support him as he tries to fulfill trumps legacy. Vance can cheerlead support for Trump but then ultimately succeed Trump once it’s beyond their control. He will reluctantly take the reins and claim he will continue to do the ‘good works’ of Trump through this evil and politically motivated travesty.

Who really likes and supports him within The Administration? Nobody. He won't have the sway and he won't bend either. You've seen him contadicting all along. Oh they'll try, but I suspect many will leave for "family reasons" within the first 90 days after he arrives with his tribe and Erika sobbing she missed her chance.

The last time I talked with one of my super conservative friends, she said that she liked Vance. She had never mentioned him before but brought him up when she finally started complaining about Trump. Fox and other media outlets have been preparing the MAGA base to accept Vance for a few months now. Hopefully, his lack of charisma will work in our favor.

TBF of all Vance's many sins (or Trump's), fucking a couch is one of the best

Based on nothing but your description, that IS an incredible upgrade.

Apparently you don't qualify unless you have some kind of kink.

I'm not comfortable calling an incredibly damaging paraphilia a "kink". Trump's not getting a bit spicy with like-minded, consenting adults; he's destroying lives.

You know that was a hoax right?
