Ohio Man and Maybelline Model Plans His Next Moves:

JD’s 2028 plotting: Vance’s next moves

Vice President JD Vance plans to literally fly above MAGA’s rising civil war — campaigning coast to coast in the midterms and sticking close to President Trump, while building support for an expected presidential run in 2028.

Why it matters: Vance has to get ready for a national campaign. But he can’t look too eager, since President Trump isn’t one to share the spotlight.

Vance aides say he’s focused on next November’s midterms, not thinking about 2028. But talking with outside Vance allies and others familiar with his thinking, Axios stitched together the VP’s five-pronged plan for making 2026 pay off later:

This Won’t Fly in MAGAt World:

I think I’ve detected a flaw in the prediction that JD Vance will lead the Republican Party, but am double-checking my analysis to be sure. More soon.

Bannon World Turns Against JD Vance as MAGA Civil War Heats Up

It’s the holiday season and John Lennon may be on the radio, but the MAGA civil war that has dominated headlines over the back half of 2025 is far from over.

Indeed, the coalition put together by President Donald Trump is only continuing to fracture, as two of its most prominent principals — podcaster Steve Bannon and Vice President JD Vance — appear to be increasingly at odds.

While Bannon and Vance both hail from the Republican Party’s populist wing, Bannon World is accusing the VP of forming a fist inside of his velvet glove.

Comic Relief:

Trump 🔽 This is hysterical and sad at the same time.

Craven Assholes:

Just Like Trump Claiming COVID-19 would be Gone by Easter during in his Last Reign of Terror, this SHITHEAD Claim’s Trump’s Shitty Economy will be ‘ROARING’ by Easter!:

What is the actual plan for this? AI magically starts producing new industries that don’t exist in the next three months? The unemployed who have never done construction work start doing construction work? Nothing is pointing in this direction, except for elite spending on tennis seats and gambling.

This Shithead Makes a Similar Claim:

Rep. Andy Biggs: "I would suspect that probably in about four months you'll see something really dramatic happen and the prices will come down … things are going better than most people would realize, but Americans feel things."
