Trump served his purpose. He got the Big Beautiful giveaway to billionaires through Congress by using bribery and extortion.

I think the plan by Thiel and Vance's handler's was always to usher Trump out of the way after he completed his usefulness to them. I imagine that Putin and others have plenty on dirt on Vance (it's pretty easy to guess what it might be; he's led a life full of u-turns and new identities to fit the moment).

I fear Vance even more than I fear Trump. Vance is young, energetic, calculating and completely sociopathic.

Our only hope is that MAGA will reject him and the Republicans, giving us a majority in both houses of Congress. I think that outcome is remote but it's literally our only hope.
