Be Prepared for JD Vance

Odds are good he will take advantage of the transitional moment and move fast. He was right there to fill in for Kirk. Before the rush, before the price gouging, you want to be ready.
There are some essentials you will need to survive in the USA after the Vance take over.

3. Krasnov has never been good but it looks like he really is spiraling now

The moment they can't parade Krasnov out and expect him to put a few words in a row they are going to have to decide between hiding him while putting words in his texts, or putting JD on the throne.

The deciding factor may be his ability to get up and sit while signing a document. They have probably already bypassed this before. Since he had an issue with the legitimacy of some of Biden's signatures, the odds are real good that strange things are going on in the White House relating to signatures on bills.

17. Fair enough. Your point is more general rather than related to a specific current news item

Not sure he could keep everyone lockstep - especially other GOP pols as they sense blood in the water

I think that was the point of Trump's people choosing him

Not sure that's enough to keep all Trump's supporters from splitting into factions, and GOP pols swooping in to take advantage of that

Trump has likely left them a very broken party

Mission Accomplished.

I'd bet

but I expect all dollars to be DEMANDED to be returned to the treasury.

Why America’s new crypto regime makes other countries nervous

The U.S. is potentially providing a powerful vehicle for tax evasion and other illegal activity worldwide.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/07/31/crypto-tax-evasion-worldwide/
https://archive.is/marck

Has the United States decided to be the Switzerland of crypto? The laudable aim of the Trump administration’s landmark cryptocurrency legislation, eloquently exposited by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, is to bring some much-needed regulatory clarity to the wild west of digital finance. However, by proffering an official stamp of approval, the U.S. is potentially providing a powerful vehicle for facilitating tax evasion and all manner of illegal activity worldwide.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Dollar-backed stablecoins — cryptocurrencies convertible one to one with dollars — are potentially the most important application of blockchain technology to date. This special class of cryptocurrency, which at present accounts for less than 10 percent of the $4 trillion crypto market, was the focus of the bill that is already law. To be fair, the act incorporated many good ideas, such as requiring that stablecoins be (almost) fully backed by safe, highly liquid assets, including Treasury bills and federally insured bank deposits.

Critics have pointed to the risks that, despite the precautions, there will still be runs on some stablecoins and that fraud will be rampant, particularly among the smaller players. These are serious concerns. The biggest one, however, which has thus far received only fleeting attention, is that the new law does too little to make stablecoin transactions as easy to audit as debit and credit card transactions are. Once out the door, stablecoins are tokens on a blockchain just like bitcoin and can change hands almost as anonymously as paper currency.

Yes, in principle, everything on the blockchain is public information, but crypto wallets can be held pseudonymously; you don’t have to reveal who you really are. On top of that, one can hold scores of wallets, and dollar stablecoin wallets can be issued outside the U.S. by unregulated entities, in addition to being traded abroad on lightly regulated exchanges. Sure, government sleuths can often find clues that help them figure out the true owner of a crypto wallet. They will certainly bear the necessary cost in the case of a major terrorism incident. This is hardly feasible on a routine basis, however. If crypto was that easy to trace, its appeal might collapse.

13. Trump would have to die in office for the scenario to unfold.

We aren't that lucky. He's going to be alive when his term ends. He will be a hot mess, of course, but alive, and still in control of the moron MAGA masses. There's 0.0 chance Trump (or the Trump family) gives up power and anoints JD his successor. What is more likely is that Trump will cancel the GOP primaries and name one of his sons as his successor, most likely Junior. The GOP rank and file will go along with it because they will still fear Trump's influence with MAGA idiots nationwide. JD will be compensated with an offer he can't refuse. People like Trump don't give up power until they are dead. They always fight to keep it at all costs. That's how I see the MAGA endgame.
