Vance taking over really means
Peter Thiel will run the country.
As much as one would celebrate Trump leaving office, walking or wheeled out, a Thiel controlled Vance will not be any better.

I support this post 
💩
Because they see themselves as far above the rabble. That would be the rest of us.
This man who will now be running the CDC (no medical background or public health expertise whatsoever) helped Peter Thiel develop his idea of floating island states where the rich geniuses would live and frolic and pull strings from afar.
The whole thing is some dark dystopian fantasy they wish to inflict on the world.
I've seen the movie.

Why America’s new crypto regime makes other countries nervous
The U.S. is potentially providing a powerful vehicle for tax evasion and other illegal activity worldwide.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Dollar-backed stablecoins — cryptocurrencies convertible one to one with dollars — are potentially the most important application of blockchain technology to date. This special class of cryptocurrency, which at present accounts for less than 10 percent of the $4 trillion crypto market, was the focus of the bill that is already law. To be fair, the act incorporated many good ideas, such as requiring that stablecoins be (almost) fully backed by safe, highly liquid assets, including Treasury bills and federally insured bank deposits.
Critics have pointed to the risks that, despite the precautions, there will still be runs on some stablecoins and that fraud will be rampant, particularly among the smaller players. These are serious concerns. The biggest one, however, which has thus far received only fleeting attention, is that the new law does too little to make stablecoin transactions as easy to audit as debit and credit card transactions are. Once out the door, stablecoins are tokens on a blockchain just like bitcoin and can change hands almost as anonymously as paper currency.
Yes, in principle, everything on the blockchain is public information, but crypto wallets can be held pseudonymously; you don’t have to reveal who you really are. On top of that, one can hold scores of wallets, and dollar stablecoin wallets can be issued outside the U.S. by unregulated entities, in addition to being traded abroad on lightly regulated exchanges. Sure, government sleuths can often find clues that help them figure out the true owner of a crypto wallet. They will certainly bear the necessary cost in the case of a major terrorism incident. This is hardly feasible on a routine basis, however. If crypto was that easy to trace, its appeal might collapse.

Trump is toast. The Crypto Troika are taking over.
They have no significant power outside of Trump. Without him, they'll be running for the exits, with a reconstituted DoJ in hot pursuit. It isn't going to be pleasant for them. 
Cash in while they can, boys, for tomorrow they're back to hawking crypto crap on shitty google ads. The ones who escape jail time anyway.
He does not have the charisma of Trump. Really, he has no charisma at all. An empty suit. No more ability to lead a loyal cult following than DeSantis. Thiel hitched his wagon to the wrong horse. So much for his smarts. Or maybe it was the only horse available. The Repuke stable is full of nothing but old nags. Dems on the other hand. We've got some contenders. 
You are spot-on regarding Thiel. The guy thinks he's THE NAZI for the 21st Century.
In the following, Ruth Ben-Ghiat shared what "Veteran Supporting Democracy" wrote:
Peter Thiel silently steps in.
Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.
Enter Peter Thiel, the billionaire founder of Palantir and close ally of Musk. Thiel and his company are now central to Trump’s newest plan: building a massive government-run database on every American.
Here’s what’s happening:
- Trump signed an executive order in March forcing government agencies to share data.
- Palantir, a company with deep ties to the far-right and known for building surveillance tools, has been tapped to lead the effort.
- DOGE has now been granted access to the U.S. Treasury Department.
- Palantir has already received over $113 million in government funds since Trump returned to office, and just secured a new $795 million contract with the Department of Defense. (Follow the money and see where it goes)
Palantir’s software is already being used inside the Department of Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, and more. The company is now in talks with the IRS and Social Security Administration to expand further. This means personal data, from tax returns to medical records, could soon be compiled in one place, under one administration, with little oversight.
This push began under Musk’s leadership at DOGE. Now it’s Thiel’s turn. And make no mistake, this is about power. With a centralized, government-controlled data system, Trump gains new tools to target critics, intimidate dissenters, and go after immigrants.
They want you to think the threat is gone. But it’s growing, and it’s being handed to people who have no business controlling our lives.
Stay informed. Stay loud. This isn’t over. Stop the billionaire takeover! “

Good people at NPS. Truly good people. And they're not afraid of billionaires juggling power saws.
Would you rather die by burning to death or being stabbed to death ?
That’s a legit both sideser.
I wouldn’t be able to pick between Trump and Vance. Which cancer would you like today? We have multiple myeloma and pancreatic cancer..
But strategically I guess Vance is better. Actually yeah, I can’t see him getting away with entirely destroying the US constitution as fast.
