2) conduct behind-the-scenes work
3) support the President

The job is pretty much set up to be invisible a large majority of the time. The Secretary of State and the House Speaker are far more visible than the VP is, esp in the news cycle.
Of course, but it's good to know who the guy is

Sometimes there's the bonus 4) generate great memes. The Obama/Biden era gave us a lot of hilarious ones.

It's just absolutely mind boggling and hilarious how Trump, in desperation, is now reaching out so-to-speak to BIDEN of all people for help. Literally like a small child at all times now.

Dude is just flailing. It's hard to even believe someone could have gotten so completely out of touch with how a normal person thinks.

According to the state of California, even N95’s are not fine enough to prevent smells.

Which is why fitted respirators have separate organic cartridges.

But what do they know hehe

I did fit testing for asbestos abatement before, there is almost nothing over the counter that prevents it. A sock over your mouth would do about the same, but then again you’re wearing a mask everywhere you go then.
I welcome you to join me in emergency the next time someone shits themselves. The N95 ABSOLUTELY negates the smell in 95% of cases. There has only ever been one patient we've endured where even the N95 wasn't enough to keep the smell out and that was an EXTREME case.

lol trump is now spouting the "Trudeau is Castros son" shit in his latest interview. The people that listen to this shit are perfect for the "we need to increase education funding" arguments.

He also introduced a bill mandating tampons be available for free in schools, so the weirdos have taken to calling him "Tampon Tim"

And how is Donald handling this polling news? Let's check his social media

Listen to your resident politics fanatic.

It was all about Biden, he was a terrible candidate to run for a second term, and was wildly unpopular with voters, carrying an absolutely abysmal approval rating. I absolutely hated his team's messaging "he was the only person to beat Trump!"

The stupidest argument I ever heard. Ya let's go grab Usain Bolt off the couch and throw him into the 100m today because "he's the only one to carry the WR".

Fuck outta here.

Fuck it's so weird how these C-list urban artists/influencers and random child YouTube streamers are bending ass over to pompom for Trump.

It's like the guy bought a cheap Groupon deal for these idiots.

What happened to integrity in this world?

I hate this timeline.

Weird isn't Trump telling everyone that BLM and ANTIFA were the ones burning cities down and libs were allowing crime to run rampant?

https://globalnews.ca/news/10685609/...avel-advisory/

Seems like the UK is burning because of right wing extremists, not libs... and thanks to failed Conservative government movements the last 10 years+

I honestly can't remember a time where there's been a safety related travel advisor issued by the Canadian Government since the IRA was last active.

RFK Jr is there to gather support from the Trump hating Republicans that might consider Harris as the only other option, then bow out of the election, endorsing Trump in an attempt to send them back over.

I hate to say it, cause I love gambling on dumb shit, but considering the implications it should absolutely not be allowed.
Considering the public sway that some of these influencers, pop stars, and public figures have, with them putting effort into swaying public opinion to make money off of bets it's crazy immoral and really fucks with democracy.
I mean, I know this is what goes on with lobbyists, but the CEO of BP isn't gonna get 500000 of his followers on YouTube to listen to incoherent rambling about why trump is the best option so he can win 3 million on playnow.com
This is the problem with politics in general now. People are treating it like a sport or some sort of entertainment as opposed to wanting what's best. It's about winning, not about success for your country.

Interesting. -possible that the Iranians hacked into Trump's campaign?



Former President Donald Trump’s campaign said Saturday in a statement that it had been hacked.

Politico reported earlier Saturday that it had received emails from an anonymous account with documents from inside Trump’s campaign operation.

“These documents were obtained illegally from foreign sources hostile to the United States, intended to interfere with the 2024 election and sow chaos throughout our Democratic process,” Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement to CNN.

Cheung pointed to a recent report published by Microsoft that said Iranian operatives had ramped up their attempts to influence and monitor the US presidential election by creating fake news outlets targeting liberal and conservative voters and by trying to hack an unnamed presidential campaign.

“On Friday, a new report from Microsoft found that Iranian hackers broke into the account of a ‘high ranking official’ on the U.S. presidential campaign in June 2024, which coincides with the close timing of President Trump’s selection of a Vice Presidential nominee. This comes after recent reports of an Iranian plot to assassinate President Trump around the same time as the Butler, PA tragedy,” Cheung said, referring to the attempted assassination of Trump at a rally last month.

Cheung said, “The Iranians know that President Trump will stop their reign of terror just like he did in his first four years in the White House. Any media or news outlet reprinting documents or internal communications are doing the bidding of America’s enemies and doing exactly what they want.”

Another CNN article:

https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/09/polit...irc_end_recirc

Expert Elections in Tehran, Iran on May 10, 2024. Fatemeh Bahrami/Anadolu/Getty Images/File
CNN

Iranian operatives have ramped up their attempts to influence and monitor the US presidential election by creating fake news outlets targeting liberal and conservative voters and by trying to hack an unnamed presidential campaign, Microsoft said in research published late Thursday.


One of the phony news sites allegedly created by Iranian operatives called former President Donald Trump an “opioid-pilled elephant in the MAGA china shop” and a “raving mad litigiosaur,” Microsoft researchers said
