Huh? If you were referring to the "plan" bodolza mentioned, that's not necessary.
If you meant, in general, the VP on the ticket doesn't matter... McCain would probably tell you that's not true.

Palin didn't sink McCain's bid for president. The 2008 crash did.

He and his cronies have gutted everything that can work against him. If he is alive by next election he will probably declare any loss he has as null and void. He will not leave.

Oh, I guess you haven't heard -- they already have a plan to get around the Constitution permanently. Vance (or some other chump) will run with Trump as VP with the specific intention of stepping down after elected, and we get another Trump term. They can basically do this indefinately. No work arounds or changes to existing laws required.

I’m aware of that trick. Like I said he only leaves office feet first or in cuffs. And if you think this regime cares about the constitution I have 223+ illegally, forcefully deported people who can prove that they can and will ignore the constitution and Supreme Court. -See Abrego Garcia for example.

edit: Tact beat me to it.

Even if you wanted to bend yourself into spaghetti and say the 22nd Amendment doesn't say that's illegal, which nearly all experts say it does, there’s another constitutional safeguard in the 12th Amendment, which states that “no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of president shall be eligible to that of vice-president of the United States.”

Americans never vote for VP. Although with Trump, that might be different.

This isn't related to the free fileing tax companies are required to offer.

How is it not? Those companies don't want this service offered because if they offer you their free service it gives them a chance to sell you something. If you go to the IRS website they never get that chance. So is it a direct connection? No. But that's why those tax prep companies are spending lobbyist money on this. Can't make money off people who never touch your site/office.

It doesn't end there. Yes, it's an opportunity to confuse you into buying services, or simply upsell you on ones you don't need.
But they also monetize your data. Their privacy agreement allows them to use your data for insights, which likely they sell. Yes, they say they do not sell your data, including your SSN, and that's true. No one is selling that JeffD is earning XYZ. But they are likely selling that people that work at [JeffD's place of employement] and live in [JeffD's zip code] typically make XYZ. There's a LOT of value to that.

You are assuming he ever leaves office willingly. Which there is high doubt.

He and his cronies have gutted everything that can work against him. If he is alive by next election he will probably declare any loss he has as null and void. He will not leave.

This regime ends in 3 ways, and no other.

1, he, for whatever the cause, dies in office. -Vance has zero clout or cult of personality, the rest of his cronies have the public appeal of moldy bread, so theory it should shatter the entire thing.

2. he destroys the US so badly it shatters into states. Which then shatters into factional civil war.

3. he is arrested and removed from office in cuffs. The preferred method. But it would take a military coup to do it. As he owns so many government agencies. So not likely at all.

Trump administration plans to end IRS

This is basically the headline as it should be. Rich people don't pay taxes, they use their money to make more money (which they take from those with less money, e.g. by using a psychotic president and his tariff madness). Warren Buffett said the great conflict of the 21rst century will be superrich vs. everybody else and the superrich will win it. And except very few idealistic backbenchers noone in politics dares to do something about this - yes, this includes all of the famous Dems and Reps. They don't want to bite the hand that feeds them and are willing to offer all of us to the superrich.

And nothing and noone will ever stop them.

It's okay, this is just step one in getting rid of taxes entirely. That's why DOGE is taking an axe to everything.
