In Various News Media this Morning, I saw that Vance is INSISTING the DOJ Investigate

[MineralMan]

I saw headlines to the effect: "Vance Orders DOJ to Investigate Minnesota Leaders."

When I saw that, I had to laugh a little. Vance Can't Order Shit! He's not the President

But then, when I thought about it, I realized that the VP thinks he's going to be President soon. I think he knows that Trump is not long for the office, either through his early demise or a resignation. So J.D. Vance is trying on the power, it seems like. That is worrisome to some degree, although we all know that it's a likely enough possibility.

Just don't jump the gun, VP Couchhumper.

2. Action verbs indicate fascist media quotient

CBS — “demands”
AOL — “triggers”
MSN — “refers”
Yahoo — “recommends”
KRCG — “sends”
Pressreader.com — “presses”
Scripps — “urges“
Minneapolis Union-Buletin — “wants”
Me — “whinges” “fantasizes” “blubbers for”

3. If Satan should call Trump home before his term is over - not that I'd object -

what would Vladimir Futon do with his new power? Constitutionally, the VP has no power at all except to break ties in the Senate. So all of a sudden this puffed-up Temu potentate finds himself sitting at the Resolute desk all full of himself, and realizes that at last he can flex his flabby muscles. What does he do first now that he's The Man? My guess is that he fires the whole cabinet and replaces them with equally unqualified but superficially less freakish characters who will kiss his ass with the same enthusiasm as the Trump toadies kissed the orange one, but not as publicly. He will issue executive orders relating to immigration, the observance of Christianity and the status of women, since those seem to be his favorite obsessions. He will order the creation of a statue of Charlie Kirk to be placed at a prominent location in D.C. (maybe he'll remove the MLK statue to make room for it). He'll replace the gold splatters on the walls of the Oval Office with pictures of his smiling and subservient wife and charming children, since The Family à la Leave It To Beaver is something everyone should have or aspire to, since you're not a Real American otherwise. Or if you're black or brown (awkward, since his wife is of Indian descent and his children are at least beige). And it will all suck, but he won't get anywhere because nobody likes him and he has all the charm and charisma of a sticky sofa cushion, and the GOP cat fight will commence as soon as he starts selecting a VP.

4. Well, Trump Is Incompetent, but Has Bluster.

J.D. Vance is just incompetent and has nothing else to work with. He fails instantly at being President.

6. He tries to sound intelligent.

The thing is that intelligence and MAGA are direct opposites. You can't reason with them, so I figure his opinions, when expressed, will fall flat. T**** doesn't even try to explain himself. That's a plus for the intellectually stunted crowd. It's all about animal instinct.

7. He would be in over his head to

He's doesn't have dump's bluster and bullshit to rely on. Vance would be just as disaterous but he'd be quieter about it.

5. He was invested with some power as the "anti fraud czar"
