a meal ticket... the wealth boom of Trump and his family. Now all they need is the right candidate to smooth the message into the American mindset. Someone who can sing that the reason your pockets are empty is because theirs are overflowing.
The trouble for the Dems is finding that person, I only see lightweights as nominees.

There is a propblem wih ou reasoning. The media used tp say Trump is not a billionare and how he bancrupted some of his ventures.
Nw h is suddenly worth $20 billion - how did thqa happen?
Did he copy Obama and Biden stealing from the taxpayers and people in the USA?
Problem is that the Dems are also major investors and corrupt as well. No where near as bad as Trump, but that just leaves them as less corrupt than Trump.
Nancy Pelosi has been an inside trader for ages. She was responsible for reviewing Google's monopoly and attempts to break them up. Just days before making the announcement, she purchased lots of Google stock.

How much money has Trump stolen from the USA taxpayers?
"The trouble for the Dems is finding that person, I only see lightweights as nominees."
Gavin Newscome is a tool..not to mention AOC and Mandami...
.I think Stephen A and Fetterman are two of the few sane voices...hope they can steer the Dems out of the doldrums...the Dems are a mess...the US needs strong and decisive opposition...

lol do you think Denise cares how corrupt the Democratic Party is?
You guys clearly still don't understand her mindset. And you don't by now then you never will.

I’ll say this politely: you really need to mature. Besides being childish, you come across as entitled, attention-seeking, and nauseating. Get a grip—it’s just an inconsequential message board.
Okay, Denise, tell us about instances of corruption within the Democrats Party that you care, or know, about.
I note that you've never mentioned Pelosi's amazing trading record. You were also pretty hush about all the corruption in Minnesota and California...run by Democrats.
You transparent joker.
Trump’s portfolio isn’t down 20%?
Hilarious...Luv it.
Why's he such an avid supporter of the far-right ... ek vra jou net so naaice ?
@bobbok What far right?...maybe it looks far right because the vantage point is too far left.

JD Vance
Why does JD Vance keep saying loony things?

Given how impetuous Donald Trump is, his vice-president, JD Vance, strikes some Americans as a more stable alternative. A good bet, some of the Maga faithful believe, as the 2028 Republican nominee for president, and the eventual occupant of the Oval Office.
Every bit as rightwing as Trump but more serious and predictable – that seems to be Vance’s pitch to the public. And he clearly wants to be president; he’s as ambitious as they come.
Why, then, does he keep saying such loony things?
In recent weeks alone, the Catholic convert has suggested that Pope Leo – the head of the Catholic church, after all – should be careful when discussing theology.
Vance also has declared that the Watergate scandal and its cover-up were no big deal, and that it’s absurd that these (clearly corrupt) acts should have brought down President Nixon.
He even described as “troubling” the Vatican’s welcoming views on immigration. Vance went so far as to say such tolerance – echoed in lawn signs that say, for example, “no person is illegal” – run against core Catholic beliefs. The well-known Jesuit priest Father James Martin SJ pushed back hard, noting Jesus’s clear message of caring for strangers and saying Vance had it all wrong.
Add this to Vance’s scorn, during the 2024 presidential campaign, for single women as “childless cat ladies”. (He has since disavowed those comments.)
Or recall his spreading the ugly lie that Haitian-Americans were stealing and eating pets in Springfield, Ohio.
What exactly is all this craziness intended to accomplish? Why would a guy who wants to be president make a practice of unnecessarily insulting huge swaths of the electorate and going up against a hugely popular American-born pope?
Strange as it seems, his outrageous comments – presented as if they are the product of a thoughtful, serious person – are no accident.
Vance is sending a clear message to Trump’s dedicated base that he’s just as good at stirring up hate and grievance as the man they elected twice as president. Better at it than the more moderate Marco Rubio, the secretary of state who is his most likely competitor for the 2028 Republican nomination.
In essence, he’s saying something like this: I might have written serious books and have a law degree from Yale but don’t worry, I hate the same people you do. And governmental malfeasance doesn’t rattle me.
As former labor secretary Robert Reich wrote recently, “Vance resembles Trump in every way – he lies effortlessly, he’s utterly without principle, and he’s intent on gaining power – except that he’s smarter and more ruthless than Trump.” Thus, a more dangerous demagogue.
So far, most American citizens are not buying Vance’s act. His popularity, which started off the latest Trump term in positive territory, now is “underwater”. As CNN’s Harry Enten put it recently, he’s a historically unpopular vice-president.
Enten blamed this partly on Vance’s forays into international affairs, as when he campaigned for Hungary’s Viktor Orbán this past spring. (Orbán lost his re-election bid as prime minister.)
More recently, as the US waged its ill-advised war with Iran, Vance has been dispatched to represent the White House.
All of this when most Americans prefer the administration to focus on domestic issues.
Amid all this, Vance’s attention-getting utterances about Catholic teachings or Richard Nixon’s renaissance have a desperate quality.
Scratch their surface and you see exactly what he’s trying to do: stand up strong for intolerance and corruption.
It doesn’t seem like a winning message, especially when paired with record-setting unpopularity.
But it may make him the obvious successor to Trump. And that, after all, is exactly what JD Vance is angling for.
Absolutely bollocks...I can't take this kind of noise seriously, and I'm surprised you do.
**Nancy Pelosi has been an inside trader for ages. She was responsible for reviewing Google's monopoly and attempts to break them up. Just days before making the announcement, she purchased lots of Google stock.**bold
Nancy Pelosi’s estimated net worth ranges between $249 million and $287 million. Her family's wealth is primarily generated by investments in high-performing technology stocks, private business ventures, and real estate managed alongside her husband, Paul Pelosi.
Trump's made more in one year compared to the Pelosi.
Trump's portfolio is doing well because of his business friendly policies...will be difficult to prove that he makes policy to favour his business interests...his bulk was made from crypto...which he was forced into by the Dems trying to de-bank him...boy did it backfire...
