A VP candidate who has an extensive history of talking shit on video about the president he plans to serve. Excellent choice. /s
Interestingly, Vance once called Trump “America’s Hitler.”
And he picked the side with America’s Hitler, just to be clear about what he is.
And promised to help with the next coup.
Hillbilly Shitbag is cool being America’s Hermann Goering.
Are we incorrectly assuming he used “Hitler” as pejorative? I certainly think it is a bad thing, but he is a Repub so he could have meant it as praise.
Vance flipped from being a never-Trumper to being a Trump bootlicker when he figured out that he needed Trump’s support to get into a position to fulfill his side of Theil’s patronage.
Ohio, still managing to stay relevant in a bad way
My kids were right about Ohio being sus.
Once again reinforcing the negative connotation of “Ohio” in zoomer slang - e.g.:
Vance got dat skibidi Ohio rizz no cap on god
Vance is an opportunist who will say or do anything that he perceives will get him power and attention. So, he’s just like Trump.
I would pay a lot of money for someone to take a giant screen to Trump rallies and play clips of him talking shit.
Is there a go fund me for that?
As if Republicans care. Cults don’t care about reality, and they won’t care that it’s obvious Vance stands for nothing.
Biden campaign should buy those clips and turn them into commercials.
Just a reminder of who he is:
I guess it isn’t surprising a rapist chose a rape supporter.
Sure, but he’s said a number of things that I agree with, too:
“I’m a Never Trump guy,” Vance said in an interview with Charlie Rose in 2016. “I never liked him.” In February of that year, he reportedly privately wondered whether “Trump was America’s Hitler.”
A few months later, when the infamous Trump Access Hollywood tape came out, Vance warned, “Fellow Christians, everyone is watching us. When we apologize for this man, lord help us.” Throughout 2016 and 2017, Vance liked tweets critical of Trump, including that he committed “serial sexual assault” and was “one of USA’s most hated, villainous, douchey celebs.” In a set of since deleted tweets, Vance also criticized Trump’s response to the 2017 neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, writing, “There is no moral equivalence between the anti-racist protestors in Charlottesville and the killer (and his ilk).”
Christofascists before and after they realize the racists are their core voting block.
He argued “two wrongs don’t make a right”. So gross.
Good. Doubling down with a MAGA-MAGA ticket brings minimal value. Pretty sure he already had all the MAGAs anyway. Probably thinks he’s sure to win now and doesn’t need a boost anymore, but that remains to be seen.
Was actually a little worried about a Rubio pick. Similar to picking Pence last time, would’ve been throwing the non-MAGAs a small bone.
Almost feels like this is the first good news in weeks. Been a rough period.
Good news until it’s not. Doubt this guy would be as rational as Pence regarding overthrowing the vote (or in theoretical dystopian 2nd term, just deciding not to leave office)
Friendly reminder for everyone to get out and vote, and to drag all your registered friends along kicking and screaming ❤️
Yeah he has said if he was in Pence’s shoes, he would have accepted the fake electors, and says the election was stolen.
JD Vance went to Yale Law; of course he won’t choose something over power. I mean, Thomas and Alito both went there. Their alumni page on Wikipedia has a “Law and Government” section and includes several people we know went to Epstein Island. Anyone who comes out of Yale Law with a single principle got it somewhere else.
What a terrible choice. Like Vance brings basically nothing to the ticket. Actually gives me some hope.
It does bring in some things for democrats, like really obvious attack ad ideas. Just play JD Vance’s own comments about Trump, over and over again.
I’ll bet Tim Scott loving all the decisions he’s made in his life still.
JD Vance, from Vance Refrigeration?
It must be pretzel day.
Every day can be pretzel day
Why does he look like he should be wearing a Confederate uniform? Alternatively why does he look like he should be saying ugabooga?
Nailed it
He does have a bit of a Robert E. Lee thing going on, doesn’t he?
This is your friendly reminder that Donald Trump needed a new VP because he sent a rabid mob to hang his last one.
Not sure whether to denounce that mob, or wish them better luck next time.
Called it. They wanted Ultra MAGA.
Welcome to Hillbilly Hell.
so what was the final auction bid?
He was voted most likely to be hanged or assassinated by his own party his senior year. What a shoe in!
Sounds like Trump isn’t in charge around here 🤔
On a bright side, “Hang JD Vance” still got a nice ring to it
Enough people hate him this will hopefully sink their polls a bit.
