Spoiler alert: the plan is to limp Trump into office, JD slaps him out with the 25th and then him a Peter Thiel measure the oval office for drapes.

They'll go 2 years 1 day with Trump so Vance can try for 9 years 364 days as president.

While an insightful suggestion, this presupposes that they won't figuratively or literally throw out the constitution before that point.

Fun anecdote: Edward Snowdon blocked me on twitter for asking him why his bff thiel (sbowden loves thiel) couldn't "rescue" him from his Russian home.

PS Brave browser is thiel's baby.

And an out of my ass educated speculation: thiel is (one part of) satoshi nakamoto.

sbowden loves thiel

Got a source for this?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

No, Snowdon. Which is actually just Donald Trump in winter.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 23 points 9 hours ago

Like they kept saying the Democrats were going to do.

Yet again, it's projection.

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 5 points 9 hours ago

Bingo! Then the tech bros carve out their personal kingdoms.

Dunno what a Peter Thiel is... but that does seem to be the plan, and it's probably why they chose someone who hates Trump over a Trump loyalist. The former is more likely to oust the guy, the latter would just say "Oh he's playing 5D Chess, don't worry, he'll own those libs."
