Potus ???

How is he a puppet? Who is pulling the strings? He seems to do as he pleases, when he pleases.

You can criticise him, with good reason in many cases, but he is not a puppet of mysterious forces.

Of course Vance is in line to be the next Potus! he’s the  VP, and a popular one at that.
Thats not some conspiracy, it’s common sense.

You can only serve two terms so there’s zero chance of Trump going for three.

The Democrats are nowhere, and have been discredited for the way they propped up a clearly failing Biden, lots of Yanks haven’t forgiven them for that.

Short of something really dramatic JD is a shoo-in for 2028.

 

It has been fairly clear this time around that -given the same security knowledge Biden had, and he had before- his view of the world and the US is at odds with what is happening in reality. Things like recently the 'crime wave' in Washington where a week later the National Guard were litter picking are a good example of reality not matching what is in his head. Someone else is passing on a world view to him.

 

It is also well known that he never actually reads any briefs in the first place... the world outside the Whitehouse isn't given in bare facts, but is narrated by whose turn it is to translate facts to him.

 

The forces behind him arn't mysterious and shadows, Vance is a big force in persuading him and behind Vance are the likes of Thiel. Makes sense though that Vance shapes the current administration if he is tipped to lead the next.

 

You're right though, not a mysterious conspiracy but in plain sight that he is being manipulated from behind. I've often referred to the 'emperors new clothes'.. which is what I see happening.

The Epstein thing (is it 12 weeks since Musk called him a nonce?), or his dementia will see him off. It's been well planned. MAGA wouldn't have voted for JD Vance. Now that the "Tech Bro's" are in charge, they can press on with their AI driven, surveillance state.

Conspiracy theories on here make the Covid thread seem tame in comparison. 
Gunshot wound, ballistic and medical experts on an arb forum. Who would have thought it. Not one of which I’d imagine has ever had the chance to hear the buzz or crack of a bullet pass by at close range. In case anyone doesnt realise the vascular supply to the head “ and ears” does tend to result in a lot of blood from even a small wound., Maybe show the pic of the ketchup bottle to the kids and widow of the guy killed in the audience.

I had a stumpgrinder tooth fly past my head at high velocity. 

Maybe stop wanking over Trump.

Not sure the Epstein thing will kill him off, if the voters were to be persuaded that he was conspiring with Maxwell to keep Epsteins crimes away from the courts they would have been persuaded by now. Not to say that moving on with Trumps many other failings makes him innocent, politically there is little more to be gained I think. Would need a video of Trump in the act as it were.

 

I think the game plan now is to make Vance electable, spend the next 3 years working on that.

I think that Trump is finished. They don't need to make Vance electable, he'll become president by default.

I do think that there is a slim chance that the power grab will be stopped by the likes of California, but it's too soon to tell.

Strange how the hand wringers came out about “ assault rifles” when a persons who’s mental illness and delusional behaviour was actively encouraged committed violent acts but were virtually cheering when the target was the current president of the USA 

A couple of things, "the left" what does that mean?

You mention "assault rifles" or "semi automatic guns" as per screen grab, the assault rifles are unlawful here in the UK and legally OK in the USA (generalisation) so is that a question for the USA arbs who visit here or a question on guns in general.

I've owned several semi automatic "guns" (shotguns) and handled/used many sa rifles which were to all intents "assault" rifles so as far as I recall you are supposed to have been a pongo I would have thought that you would have seen that?

Again a generalisation, I have. 

Second part is not really correct as I have clipped ears of deer with. 22 cf and larger and apart from a splash the holes seem to bleed little after the hit, certainly less than DJT did but I wasn't there, but if I was I would suggest I could have an interesting,  or one of a kind, mount on the wall in the lounge.
