Headline says that the kids and Vance are amongst the principles for the transition team.

Oh God President Trump you are making this hard. You are the *sole* hope to not have Kamala Harris as President.

And now you got Vance along with Wally and The Beaver on transition.

Hint: Don Jr swayed you to Vance. Vance did squat for your ticket and is giving Harris a bit of help and SO they are both on the transition team.

Why? Why? Please sir. Why?


I think each night for 30 minutes, I'll go to bed pretending David Palmer from 24 or Jed Bartlett from West Wing is President. I seriously think I need that respite now, and especially if we keep giving the election to Harris.

Vice President Harris - WTF? Biden gives you the nomination and some days, Trump is giving you the Presidency. Were you Christ, Gandhi, or MLK in the previous life?

You might want to consider the possibility - just perhaps - that he might not be a person who deserves your support.

He might instead might be the sort of person who fills a job not by picking the person who's most qualified to do it, but instead by giving it to his kids or the most toadying loyalist in his sphere.

I mean, just sayin'. If you see him doing things you don't think a good leader would do, sometimes the simplest ex[planation is the right one....

Good post, valid points.

Yes, I call out my own side, or even a candidate I'm voting for. Whether their sons aren't qualified for transition teams, whether their sons lobbied for foreign corporations and interests, or whether the candidate was a joke in 2020 and had great advantages- and was polling #5 in her California and squandered her lead and fundraising advantages and dropped out in 5 weeks and now, did squat to get the nomination.


As someone from the Right , who openly in polarized times, voted for BIDEN in 2020 and wanted to vote for Biden in 2024, I am hardly beholden to Trump.

This time, my support for Trump is merely disdain for Harris, no different than people who used to cry "Anybody But Bush".

I've seen tons of things I didn't like hence voted Biden and to this day am slightly emotional in my stomach about him being forced to relinquish what was rightfully his. Heck was just watching his debate with Ryan and man it was great not just when Biden was giving the boy a country whipping, but the sincerity and graciousness when Biden shook his hand afterwards.

The worst part for me - I think I can just blackout, just float, just be a passive victim if she's President. The worst part is that it prevents Beshear from running in 2028 as I've voiced high hopes for him for 2 years now.

He was one of the few grown ups I had faith in to properly govern as big things confront the country soon.

If Harris wins it *better* be with Democratic control of Congress and the Senate. I want something out of this.
