At first glance, Vance and Kirk do look a little too familiar in the photos-why does he have his hands on her hips? Why does she have her hands in his hair? When paired with a quote from Erika Kirk that also circulated widely that day, about how she saw some similarities between her late husband and Vance ( "no one will ever replace Charlie, but ... "), it didn't look great for either party.
He's getting squeezed because the Groypers are on the one hand saying, Hey, listen, fat boy, we want America first. You want to run for president? We want to hear you say America first.' And on the other side, he's got his donors, and they're saying, They're horrible anti-Semites. You have to disavow them. You have to forcefully condemn them. Condemn Tucker. Condemn the Groypers,' Fuentes began, referring to his followers, who are widely known as Groypers.
Millions of Americans yearn for 7 November 2028, the scheduled date of the next presidential election. That's the day the Trump era effectively ends. Probably. That's the day the Democrats will atone for Kamala Harris's calamitous 2024 failure. Possibly. That's the day US democracy is reborn. Hopefully. Succession talk is tantalising Washington. Gavin Newsom, California's governor, has given the clearest sign yet that he'll run and glossing over past blunders, Harris reckons she deserves a second chance.
President Donald Trump theorized about an unstoppable ticket for the 2028 presidential election on Monday, naming Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio as potential running mates who could hang onto the White House. The president answered a slew of questions aboard Air Force One on his way to Tokyo, where he will meet with new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on the second leg of his Asia tour.
I think the little Manchurian candidate, JD Vance, wants to be president more than anything else, opined Psaki. I always wonder what's going on in the mind of his wife. Like, are you okay? Please blink four times, we'll-, come over here. We'll save you. I mean, he's scarier in certain ways, in some ways. And he's young, and ambitious, and agile in the sense that he is a chameleon who makes himself into whatever he thinks the audience wants to hear from him.
The White House joined Bluesky on Friday evening, and less than 48 hours later, it has been blocked by more than 92,000 users, according to VQV, an app that tracks Bluesky stats. Vance has racked up 166,000 blocks since joining the platform in June. That means at this rate, the White House will leapfrog the vice president for the infamous, or venerable, depending on who you ask, position of being the most-blocked account on Bluesky.
At South Park Elementary, PC Principal the PC standing for Power Christian ever since his politically motivated conversion at the start of last season attempts to put a stop to his students' obsession with the 6-7 TikTok meme, not because it is insufferable or disruptive, but because he considers it some satanic numerology shit. Rather than seeking help from the school's new guidance counsellor, Jesus Christ, he turns to the world's top expert on the antichrist: billionaire Peter Thiel.
you know what? He did it. And A, he deserves some credit for it, the longtime Democratic strategist said. He added, I don't have any problem with saying they did something which, as of now, other people failed to do. Carville called the peace deal an undeniable accomplishment and urged people to celebrate even a temporary pause to the war.
The definition of insanity is to do the same thing again and again expecting a different result. The reason we're here is because the president actually charted a different course with a different team. He vested a lot of authority in Steve Witkoff in particular, and that's why we're here. It's because you did something different, and I think it's important to recognize that.
If that's how we're doing it, JD, then we here at The Late Show also enjoy humor, the host declared. He proceeded to roll a heavily censored AI animation of Vance humping a sofa while wearing a sombrero in callback to an internet hoax that falsely claimed Vance once wrote about such an encounter in his memoir. The rumor, long debunked, was recycled through online memes during the 2024 campaign.
It sure looked like 25th Amendment day in the White House today, where Donald Trump was not publicly visible, and the vice president of the United States took to the microphone on day one of the government shutdown to basically assure the country, I guess, that he's in charge. And very specifically and deliberately to draw attention to Donald Trump's public insanity by actively seeking out an opportunity to talk publicly about Donald Trump's manifestations of outright insanity.
The political leadership of their party has got it into their heads that the only way to be compassionate is to be compassionate to illegal aliens, rather than American citizens, Vance said.
Is it helpful to post pictures of Leader Jeffries in a sombrero if you're trying to have good faith talks with him? asked the reporter Oh, I think it's funny! The president's joking, and we're having a good time. You can negotiate in good faith while also poking a little bit of fun at some of the absurdities of the Democrats' positions and even, you know, poking some fun at the absurdity of the Democrats themselves, replied Vance.
One Trump adviser who insisted that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are both at their wits' end with Israel, told Axios that Netanyahu would be to blame for enabling Hamas and doing nothing for the Palestinians who have so many humanitarian needs, if he didn't accept the terms of Trump's proposed deal. Another member of the administration remarked that Everyone and I mean everyone is exasperated with Bibi. And yet another complained about Netanyahu's recent war of words with Tucker Carlson.
This is now the fifth or sixth time he's posted a political take contradicted by facts from his own law enforcement agencies. Favreau's post included a suggested community note, citing an NBC News report, regarding Vance's comments that read, According to an ICE spokesperson, the three individuals shot were ICE detainees, leaving two individuals dead and one injured. No law enforcement were injured in this shooting, according to law enforcement and news reports out of Dallas, Texas.
Kamala Harris watched mortified as her running mate, Tim Walz, fell into JD Vance's trap in last year's vice-presidential debate and fumbled a crucial answer, she writes in a campaign memoir. The former Democratic presidential nominee also admits that Walz had not been her first choice for vice-president in her book 107 Days, obtained by the Guardian ahead of its publication next week. Harris writes that her first choice would have been the then transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg, a close friend of hers who is gay.
So, obviously, look, we wanna help people, Vance responded. We wanna help our fellow citizens. And I know that Wisconsin has some serious problems. I have not talked to the president of the United States. I'm not even sure that he's aware yet that the governor has issued that disaster declaration. But I will take it to Washington, D.C., and make sure we respond to it properly. Thank you, Sir.
