    Wow, that’s crazy a VP candidate for one of the two parties is actually saying this.

    Respect.

        There’s a joke here somewhere, but you get a visit from the secret service if you say it…

            Tim Walz will become president if Kamala is elected and later dies.

            Given that she is relatively young and apparently healthy, and the US has a gun situation… the most likely cause of death would be a shooting.

            Joking about killing a president gets you a serious talking to by the secret service.

        It’s pretty obvious they won’t go anywhere near it while in office. But even just saying it is a step in the right direction.

            If the only thing you want is everything right now, you’re going to be very disappointed your entire life.

                  We all see the same threads and are free to comment. That’s how federation works. If you say something remarkably stupid your comment might end up in The Dunk Tank, and then yeah, you will get a lot of people coming over to make fun of you. I’m afraid in this case your comments just aren’t that remarkable. I’m just responding to you as a browse the thread.

                  My question still stands though. How many times are you going to believe the shit falling out of these ghouls’ mouths? Will you ever stop believing, or will your credulity never faulter, even as your quality of life plummets to protect the political status quo?

        VP doesn’t really have any power to enact things like that so yeah
