I still think, if he gets in legally, that after project 2025 is in full gear he’ll either resign or just be president in name only, PINO.
All his charges will be gone and 5 Supreme Court justices will be in charge by him.

Not if the Democrats win one or both houses of Congress (they get to approve a new VP). Trump might very well hang on to Vance just to keep from handing Dems a win. He’s petty like that.

Trump can just use the DoJ to pursue Vance and not appeal to Congress at all, according to SCOTUS, should Trump decide to be rid of him.

It’s not an appeal to Congress. A US president has to have a VP, there’s no way round it. If Trump dumps Vance, whoever he picks to replace him has to be approved by a majority of both Houses. 25th Amendment.

Hadn't thought of that, thanks for the short hairs.
Vance looks a lot more secure given that whomever his replacement would be would likely be much less radical and therefore unacceptable to Trump.

JD Vance may be a gift to the Democrats.
Now we have to wait to see who Harris picks. Hopefully someone who can bring in moderates and swing states.

Trump Tells Christians They Won’t Have to Vote in Future: ‘We’ll Have It Fixed’
At the Florida summit, hosted by conservative group Turning Point Action, Trump promised that if he wins in November, he would “once again appoint rock-solid conservative judges who will protect religious liberty.”
After repeating his usual unfounded claims about mail-in voting, Trump launched into an appeal directed at Christian voters. “Christians, get out and vote!” yelled Trump. “Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years. You know what? It’ll be fixed! It’ll be fine! You won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians. I love you, Christians!” He added, “You gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

It still surprises me how many otherwise well-intentioned people in this field still support Trump.

Of course, this is Florida.

That sounds like threat to the USA!
Biden should do something to eliminate this threat!

Does not sound suspicious at all.
People who have tiniest shred of decency should stop supporting him after hearing this. Though I suppose anyone decent already didn't.
