Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Ok I'm interested. He was picked July 15, 3 weeks, 21 days ago. That's 1.9 Scaramuccis as of today. If he's replaced tomorrow Aug 6, that's 2 Scaramuccis on the dot.
Ohio needs the names Aug 7.
Cap’n! Tha Mooch scale was ne’er intended for campaignin’! I dunnae how much longer she’ll hold!
But what happens in Ohio if Trump/Vance is the name on the ballot, but Vance has since been replaced by Rubio? Is the vote just torn up and tossed? If a VP candidate dies in a bizarre boating accident in October is it just... over?

Are you suggesting that JD Vance may have an "accident" where he ends up sleeping with the dolphins?
If I know dolphins, if he ends up sleeping with them, they'll treat his body like he'd treat a couch
Oh yeah there's problems with that. The electoral college also elects the VP. It is not just an appointment. But if it's soon enough you know Ohio will just decide to honor it's post dated extension trap they tried to catch the Democrats in.
Oh we might elect Dr Harris purely out of spite for dropping an Ohioan
