I grew up on Transformers, Thundercats, GI Joe, Voltron, He-Man, Duck Tales, Inspector Gadget, The Smurfs, Dungeons & Dragons, and dozens more. They don’t all hold up the same 40 years later, but this was basically the last generation of free, over-the-air Saturday morning cartoons.

The cynic in me thinks Vance and the rest of the GOP are waiting until Jan 21, 2027, or shortly thereafter, to remove Trump.

That gives Vance a nearly two-year trial run, and the built-in incumbent advantage (as long as he can blame everything on Trump) in 2028. Being less than two years as replacement President also maintains his eligibility to run twice more.

If Vance takes over now, he can’t run in 2032 (assuming they do enough fuckery that he’s re-elected in 2028).
