So what happened to JD Vance?

[Norbert]

Ever since the trump/musk bromance he seems to be less relevant as time goes on? Has he even visited Mar-a-Lardo lately

[dalton99a]

1. He's shopping for a sofa for his new digs

[KarenS]

3. ...

[Bo Zarts]

8. A sexional sofa?

[debm55]

43. No a love seat. He wore the other one down and is looking for another.

[Dem4life1234]

2. I wonder if orange lard will punish him?

We know the orange nutjob is vindictive.

Oh and didn't the weirdo use to be a never Trumper?

After what he did to Pence, what idiot would even consider working under him? He's young and dumb and easy to control.

[brush]

10. Agreed. Vance has been overshadowed by Musk. Even Jr. trump is making public possible...

policy changes like limiting what news media outlets will have access.

Vance has to sense all this, which is why he's probably studying the 25 Amendment thoroughly as the VP is the one who has to move to invoke it if the president is no longer capable of fulfilling his responsibilities...and with the mentally declining trump that seems almost imminent.

[cloudbase]

17. Trump is loading his cabinet with loyalists,

and they'll never authorize Vance to take exit 25.

[brush]

18. trump is old and fading...you never know. If he's incapacitated...

will they be able to hide it forever? Some of these cabinet picks, like Gaetz, make no sense.

[drmeow]

34. Does it have to go through the cabinet?

Can it be Congress? I don't know anything about the process at all.

[cloudbase]

40. Initially, yes, by the VP and a majority of the cabinet.

If the sitting president disputes his/her removal, it gets a bit more complicated as it then goes through congress.

[drmeow]

41. What about this

"or of such other body as Congress may by law provide" - does that give any wiggle room for Vance to try to get it through without the Cabinet?

[cloudbase]

49. I'm not aware of Congress having to date providing any alternate body.

I suppose they could, though, but they'd have to do it prior to the initial invocation of the 25th.

[Polybius]

21. Vance in a lot of things, but dumb isn't one of them

He got elected VP, and there's an excellent chance that he'll be President if Trump's mind goes too far gone over the next few years. Vance is crazy like a fox, and is as slick as they come. He knows exactly what he's doing.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

29. Enjoy your stay.. . . . nt

[peregrinus]

4. Keep an eye on him

He no doubt is up to no good. My guess is he is networking behind the scenes to obtain power so that he can slip into the Oval in 4 years or when Trump dies.

[Dem4life1234]

11. I don't trust him

He is very scheming.

[JI7]

5. Trump took his place and Elon Musk took Trump's place

[patricia92243]

9. Elon just thinks he has taken Trump's place. The bromance won't last till

the inauguration.

[justhanginon]

24. Musk is graciously letting Trump remain as co-president! Probably just for the time being.

[Raven123]

6. He is working behind the scene on Project 2025

[Nigrum Cattus]

20. Bingo

2025 Catholic theocratic garbage. That's why they want to get rid of the Dept. of Ed.

[StarryNite]

48. Yup, getting ready to take Dump's place.

[patricia92243]

7. Did Trump ever pay attention to his former VP, except to have him hanged.

I don't think Trump will share the limelight with any VP - or Elon.

Was Vance at the Thanksgiving Dinner at Mar.

[Metaphorical]

12. Trump cheating with/on Elon

The fallout - Trump gets tired of Elon, tells him to get lost, and Elon spills the beans about how Trump so mysteriously won.

That brings up an interesting question - what if it is proven that a president-elect cheated and actually lost the election? There's nothing, AFAIK, in the Constitution that addresses that situation.

[BComplex]

31. Trump has helped us find out that the constitution failed to address a LOT of situations!!

I was hoping Kamala Harris and Tim Walz were going to be able to address those kinds of things...by first getting the supreme court back to respectability.

[NameAlreadyTaken]

54. "What Constitution?" "What laws?" - Trump

[milestogo]

13. He's been relegated to the kitchen.

[Norbert]

14. I thought he might be jealous of Vance

After all Vance initiated the biggest lie of the campaign "They're eating the dogs ... they're eating the cats ... they're eating people's pets"

trump doesn't like to be outdone, especially with what he does best.

[Celerity]

15. The Kiffness - Eating the Cats ft. Donald Trump (Debate Remix)

[Dale in Laurel MD]

16. Accprding to the picture he sent out,

he's transitioned.

[Think. Again.]

51. I saw that, I'm very happy and proud for him!

[Hekate]

19. I'm sure he's busy-busy implementing Project 2025 and deconstructing the federal government

I wouldn’t trust Shady JD as far as I could throw him, nor would I trust him out of our sight.

[Vinca]

22. He's now in charge of responding to the pressing of the Diet Coke button.

[Diamond_Dog]

23. You can be sure he's up to something nefarious, we just haven't heard about it yet.

[kimbutgar]

26. I was looking at the Temu site and they had an ornament of orange Hitler and muskrat with their arms around

Each other wearing red ties. And I thought shouldn’t it be jd sofa lover instead of muskrat?

[CloudWatcher]

27. He's been off taking Russian lessons n/t

[Mike Nelson]

30. Hollywood slang is...

.... "he's/she's under the knife," usually whispered. It means having some kind of cosmetic surgery. After the healing, they appear looking freshened up. Normally, it wouldn't apply to a Republican politician... but Vance? Maybe?

[drmeow]

35. He's already got

tattooed eyeliner!

[bif]

32. We're not going to hear or see anything from him for 4 years.

The Orange Turd can ever be upstaged. So he'll be out of the picture until Dementia Donnie dies or he's no longer able to function "normally."

[keithbvadu2]

33. Is he out looking for a proper white wife? He had to apologized for her not being white. The children are 'her' childre

Is he out looking for a proper white wife? He had to apologized to his white supremacists for her not being white. The children are 'her' children.

[Aristus]

36. A man can be a Senator, and run a big committee/

A man can be a Governor, or mayor of a city/
A man can be a diplomat and deal with world affairs/
But when a man’s Vice President, let’s face it: no one cares

38. Are you enjoying your stay here at DU?

[Martin Eden]

39. He's waiting in the wings

For Trump to stroke out.

[Xavier Breath]

42. ...

[debm55]

46. HHAHHAHAHAHAH. That is funny.

[JanMichael]

44. Probably getting some more elective surgeries.

[Blue_Tires]

45. Since Donnie made Kamala's mixed ancestry such a big issue

JD is trying to figure out if his kids are white or Indian, and whether or not they'll have a place in the new order...

[Dem4life1234]

52. He's the one

He's the one who chose to marry some Indian chick.

He can't blame anyone but himself.

[LudwigPastorius]

47. It's Black Friday weekend.

He's probably sowing his wild oats before settling into the job.

50. JD issues statement after Ohio loss to Michigan

... "“I know it sucks to lose ..." ...

https://www.cleveland.com/osu/2024/12/vice-president-elect-jd-vance-issues-statement-for-ohio-state-football-seniors-after-michigan-loss.html

[Think. Again.]

53. He "knows it sucks to lose"?

Did someone give hm the actual vote counts instead of the "revised" edition?

[yellowdogintexas]

55. Anyone else thinking that if he were a natural born American Musk would be the VP ?

He was only a Big Financial Supporter until suddenly he is #45's sidekick.

It's enough to make me think

[doc03]

56. He is couch surfing. nt

[Skittles]

57. busy working on Project 2025

and preparing to take over as needed............
