Comment on Henry Kissinger died.

  I think he’ll snuff it soon - or more likely, he’ll become so blatantly deranged that he’ll be impeached because he just has to be. And I think it’ll happen before the end of his term, assuming he doesn’t get impeached by the dems after the midterm elections.

  The immediate danger if that happens is Vance, who’s 10 times more dangerous than Trump, because unlike Trump, he has a working brain, and is lying in the shadows.

    I doubt the republicans would allow him to be removed from office if they can stop it. They would just create a buffer around him and run things themselves.

    Vance doesn’t have the cult of personality that Trump does.

      That doesn’t matter: Chávez was the charismatic revolutionary, Maduro is his unloved but definitely authoritarian successor.

      Trump is the charismatic “leader” who got the whole shitshow going, and Vance is ideally placed to entrench the dictatorship, because he won’t need any charisma to do that.

      Although on a personal note, I really fail to see what sort of charisma this crooked crass New York slick his fans can possibly find in him. I really don’t.

        He says all the terrible shit that they want to say, but society hasn’t allowed them to (because basic human decency).

        You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers rednecks. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons.

        Dave Chappelle has some great material on that.
