It would be irresponsible not to speculate on the odds that he's a Deep State plant, as some people(*) are saying.

(*)No, I'm not going to point to examples. It's enough to note that Some People are, as I understand these things.

Usha Vance told friends Trump appalled her. Now she’s working to elect him. The potential second lady found Trump’s actions on Jan. 6 “deeply disturbing,” a friend said. But ambition and devotion to her husband ultimately drove her to a place in the former president’s campaign.
In many ways, Usha Chilukuri Vance — born to prosperous Indian Hindu immigrants, raised in Southern California and employed, until she quit last week, at a San Francisco law firm known for its self-consciously progressive office culture — appears to represent the sort of cultural and economic elite whom Republicans often rail against. A self-described “Order Muppet” remembered for her circumspect manner and almost fanatically detailed scheduling habits, she is very different, temperamentally, from the freewheeling former president and his incendiary MAGA movement.

Though she worked for prominent conservative judges and voted in the 2022 Republican primary in Ohio when her husband was on the ballot, she has registered to vote as a Democrat at least twice, records show: as a teenager in San Diego in 2004 and as a law student in New Haven, Conn., in 2010. In the fall of 2014 she registered to vote in D.C. without a party affiliation, according to elections officials.

But the forces that propelled her to the convention have long been evident, those who know her say: extraordinary ambition and deep devotion to her husband.

Maybe they should try some policies that people like and want. Then they wouldn't have to cheat and lie.

Like so many of them: no ideology or devotion to ideas or others; their only drive is their own ambition and self-advancement. That's why they can switch "teams" on a dime - because they really don't care except getting themselves ahead.

Honestly this is such a weird way to respond to white supremacist attacks on your Indian American wife. Pathetic.

I wish I could find a YouTube of this to post. This is a tweet, but I'll also post a link to Chelsea Handler's Instagram account where this video also resides.

Saw that over the weekend, shared with two of my best friends elsewhere, and we've all been cackling about it. There's certain inside secondary joke elements for us, but even without those, it's hysterical.

I daresay futons are involved in a lot of inside jokes among families and friends.
