Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

But also, this feels like it’s pure theater
is this some "clever" ploy to get vance to either come out and say trump isn't too much of a deranged fucking psycho lunatic to serve, or that he is? what would either outcome accomplish?
if, by some incomprehensible batshit fuckery in the spacetime continuum (which, admittedly, we are in the middle of) vance agrees, who the fuck thinks having vance on your side is some kind of flex?
The Vice President is the one that needs to enact the 25th amendment (along with members of the cabinet). Its not so much of wanting Vance, but wanting the Vice President. If the Vice President was a ham sandwich, I'd be looking for the sandwich's vote to enact the 25th amendment.
Trump's redeeming feature is his charisma, apparently - personally never seen it. But he's also mad. Vance is so unlikeable, so I think this is seen as an easy way to destroy MAGA.
The power behind the crown needs to be cut out first though - i.e. Stephen Miller and the Heritage Foundation. Nothing will change without taking care of this festering carbuncle.
I think it's more of a move to either link Trump and Vance or introduce some division if he doesn't agree.
The Democrats would never! How dare you! They hold the record for the longest filibuster speech AND the longest government shutdown during this presidency. Look at all they have accomplished...
