They would just exercise the 25th amendment and put Vance in the seat. I'm not sure who's ass is in the chair is the worst-case scenario

Y'all know even if that were to happen, assuming the Biden administration even allows this, the military would storm in whatever holding cell hes in and break him out on January 20, then he'll invoke the insurrection act and order the arrest of NY state officials for treason.
Haha, hahahahaha, he could be in jail already for years and there's people thinking he'll go now? Hope is nice, but that's just a dream
Nothing in the Constitution prevents the President from holding the office from a jail cell.
I'm telling you, the premise of this should be a Michael Schur production.

I remember having dreams. You guys remember those? Fun times.
Nobody is going to put an elected present in jail. It’s game over.
I am convinced that if Kamala won Trump would have started an armed insurgency. Well, this would definitely about do it.
If Kamala won, he'd at most get a nice private prison that'd basically a rich people's fancy retirement home, with access to amenities like tweeting from his "truth" social so its basically not different than being not having a prison sentence at all. But most likely he'd not even get prison, but a house-arrest with very relaxed restriction, because the judicial system will make up some excuse saying its impractical to keep a former president in prison citing "safety concerns".
Interesting.
When a rich man is sentenced to prison, and then actually has to go to prison, it's called a "legal loophole".
My first thought was "So we call 'following the law' a loophole now?"
If the law meant a fucking thing, he would have been in prison decades ago.
WHY did it take this long to get around to it? So bizarre.
'The voters are going to reject him and then we don't have to go through all this messy business if prosecution."
It's the moral elevation of inaction for its own sake above action for any reason.

Fun to think about, but I can promise that Trump will never see consequences for his actions. Everything just miraculously slides right off of him.
LegalEagle on YouTube says it’s basically done. He will never see jail.
Yeah, he'll just get his 6/3 Supreme Court majority to rule that the president is also immune to state crimes like they already ruled for federal crime.
He'll just stay out of New York until his coronation
Every time there's talks about it I think about The fall of the house of Usher
Like a convcted felon president elect is going to give 2 shits about new york, or laws in general.
He'll get a judge to pause all this shit until later. A good lawyer knows the law, a great lawyer knows the judge.
A great Russian Mafia knows the judge's and prosecutor's kids 🔪
And where the nearest window is when they refuse the tea

JD Vance as president is an even more terrifying thought.
Beware the Monkey Paw
I don't know, is there a lot of couch in the white house, must take some time for him to introduce himself to all of them?
I see Vance as a half smart opportunist, not a full on Fascist.
I could be wrong.
I'm from Germany, so my exposure to US politics is limited (yet still way too much). So, I happened to watch/listen to the new york times podcast interview with vance about 1-2 weeks before the election. Mind you, before that I assumed he was an awkward idiot because all I knew about him was the doughnut thing, laughing at his own joke, and the couch thing. So I basically only tuned in to hear that weird ass man speak for once.
Apart from the shitty interviewer, I was shocked to find that he would charm me every couple of minutes. Saying people change their minds, people make mistakes, explaining where he is coming from, talking about his wife. This was not who I expected. And I had to remind myself a couple of times: this dude is up to no good. Listen to what he is not saying. Don't get sucked into this madness.
But damn he sounded so normal. So human. (Especially in contrast to the stuff I heard about him before.) And since then, I am honestly worried about this guy. I am definitely on the left spectrum politically speaking, and I still found some stuff relatable just by the way he talked. This scared me so much.
So I agree with you, I think he is an opportunist. And he actually knows what he is doing. I think he knows how to act and speak much better than the left US media tried to portray. They try to ridicule someone who is a very elaborate politician, and this can backfire so much, it's dangerous. Don't ridicule the devil in power. I believe if he wanted to, he could wrap a lot of people around his finger.
I agree. He has done a great job managing his career. We'll see what happens

icymi, JD Vance is a vassal of Peter Thiel.
Vance is a fucking monarchist.
Trump isn't smart either. He's just a figure head.
At the time Trump built his Tower, Jackie Kennedy was working to preserve Grand Central station in Manhattan. Trump had a golden opportunity to get in good with the most influential taste maker in the country, and blew it because he's a greedy idiot and a vulgarian.
Younger generally means more hopeful and ambitious, so it really depends how much Peter Thiel has his hooks in him.
Vance at least has a non-white wife and is still on his first marriage so probably less bitter.
As an aside I was looking up everyone involved with founding PayPal. What a collective bunch of shit stains they are.
Seriously if folks knew what would happen with most of em back in the 90s im pretty some of the real old Rednecks wouldve killed em. Im talking the remains of those who fought in the county and union wars BTW.
