When wargaming... you always ask "what if" questions...

What if they woke Hitler at the first word of D-Day invasion.

What if Lee took the high ground at Gettysburg on Day 1?

What if Charles Martel lost the Battle of Tours in 732 to the Umayyad Caliphate giving a permanent Muslim footprint in Europe?

And what the fuck was Trump thinking with the JD Vance choice?

Ok. I can answer it, somewhat. Vance was the pick of Thiel and Musk and the key to the 9 figure pro Trump SUPER PAC...

But before Vance... I said right here that Trump should pick Tulsi Gabbard, a millennial at just 43yo, she meets Trumps standard of "hotness", former Dem, veteran, well spoken and had a fight with VP Harris in the 2020 debate.

Like I said... humanity and the world were lucky that Hitler slept through D-Day... and we're lucky that Trump picked Vance who's become a Palin-level joke.

Luckily for us he's more afraid of a woman with power then pretty much anything.

But thanks to Joe's impeccable timing, trump got totally blindsided. He had no idea he would be facing Kamala when he picked Vance, so now he must either carry him to term, or look like a total fool to dump him now and admit he fucked up.

They are sex objects, to put it politely.

There is a not particularly hidden homoerotic theme to fascism, but it is generally repressed and re-expressed with hyper-masculine posturing, homophobic bigotry, and misogyny.

He could bring on Haley, but I don't know if his ego would allow it. Too much compromise. Just convince him that Vance is hot or something.
