"blank checks" is a very specific choice of phrase. not "no more money" or "no more weapons". don't trust it.

Good catch! He also knows he'll never be President. He's been a politician most of his life, and was most recently rewarded with a cushy post as Ambassador to Japan under Biden; hasn't done anything under Trump, obvs. His current "presidential run" is code for "I want another cushy job in the next Democratic administration", and "no black checks" means "I'm flexible to bend whichever way you want the policy to run".

Another retirement age candidate. It's really time for the boomers to just fuck off already in politics.

This guy could be in his 30s and I'd still vote for Vance. The country won't survive another Democrat this tied to Wall Street.

I don't trust this guy one bit, especially about Israel. He's just the flip side of MAGA.

This guy is a piece of shit. But I'll take it as a sign that the dumb fuckers leading the DNC might be realizing supporting Israel is unpopular and a losing strategy.
