And those first two may have only been warning shots as a cover and smoke screen for the one that might ultimately move JDV into the driver's seat. "Well, people have already been trying to assassinate him, so this definitely came from outside the house. No need to look here."

The techbandits have been "grooming" JDV to do what one hopes congress will not allow AI to do; that is the 2025 recasting of democracy into an electronics controlled dystopia. After all, Thiel, Musk, Zuck, and those of their ilk are unelectable. Does Vance have a Musk controlled Neuralink in his brain yet? (We longtime sci-fi fans won't rule anything out.)

Precisely: get the orange sadist-traitor elected, the 25th Amendment passed, get rid of the Orange One, and POOF! JD and Kevin Roberts will rule the U.S. It would be a nightmare beyond belief. I think that the o.s.-t. doesn't have a CLUE what is actually going on.

No, we won't, and if you add Le Carre, Clancy, Fleming, Drury, and Trevanian to the mix it gets even more interesting. TC will be writing a screenplay soon.
