@the cac mamba What were saying about him not running in 2028?

Only death will keep him from running. Unfortunately for everyone, both his parents lived long lives.

The Cuomo brothers prostituting themselves to the right after they got “cancelled” by democrats was the easiest thing to predict

 

[PoorAndDangerous]

I wonder why the media uses them as the symbol of black American thought

its disgusting. I also keep seeing media saying that trump got a huge amount of black voters on his side by becoming a felon

 

[Reality Check]

According to CNN the Trump VP list has shortened to JD Vance, Doug Burgum, Marco Rubio.

-Don Jr wants JD Vance
-Rupert Murdock wants Burgum
-Sean Hannity wants Rubio

I think it's Burgum. JD has only been a Senator for a year and a half. Trump doesn't respect Rubio.

Burgum is a business guy. Trump likes that about him because he sees himself as a business guy too. Plus he can give Trump money for legal fees.

Of those 3, Burgum would be the pick. Rubio can't be the VP pick due to him living in Florida (he'd have to resign his senate seat and move out of state or Trump would have to move his address out of Florida) and Vance is too inexperienced. Burgum is probably more appeasing to the non-lunatics.

Part of the presentation included a secret plan to throw the party’s nomination of Donald Trump for president into chaos.

The instructions did not come from “Never Trumpers” hoping to stop the party from nominating a felon when delegates gather in Milwaukee next month. They instead came from avowed “America First” believers hatching a challenge from the far right — a plot to release the delegates from their pledge to support Trump, according to people present and briefed on the meeting, slides from the presentation and private messages obtained by The Washington Post....

...The exact purpose of the maneuver was not clear — and left some delegates puzzled and alarmed. People familiar with the meeting, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations, said perhaps the intent was to block an undesirable running mate. Most of the dozen GOP officials or activists interviewed by The Post even ventured that the aim may have been to substitute former national security adviser Michael Flynn for Trump if the former president is sentenced to prison time. Among some on the far right, suspicions have intensified that the former president has surrounded himself with too many advisers beholden to the “deep state.”

Whatever the goal, the Trump campaign rushed to head off the stunt and replace the delegates. One campaign staffer involved in the cleanup described it to at least two Republicans as an “existential threat” to Trump’s nomination next month, two people familiar with conversations told The Post. To another Republican, the staffer described the scenario discussed by the Arizona delegates, however unlikely, as being “the only process that would prevent Trump from being the nominee.”...

...The group, the We the People AZ Alliance, has raised nearly $1 million, according to state campaign finance records. The group is closely aligned with Senate candidate Kari Lake (R) and is funded largely by entities linked to prominent election deniers such as Flynn and Patrick Byrne, a former Overstock.com executive who is no longer affiliated with the company.

On Tuesday, Byrne wrote in a post on X that Trump, based on some of his endorsements, “is still surrounded by DEEP STATE nobodies” who tell the former president to choose a vice president that won’t overshadow him. “In two weeks Trump is going to be either in jail or under house arrest,” Byrne wrote. “His VP needs to be a General.” The post tagged Flynn’s social media profile.

So now Trump has to worry about the lunatic fringe of the movement that he created because they think he's part of the Deep State.

Black culture has been distilled down to drug dealers, rappers and barbers, which unironically is the same group.
