JD Vance is so comically bad that it's kind of insane that anyone in the republican party agreed to let this guy run.
He wore a name tag that stated he was Peter Thiel's favorite blood boy.
It makes sense if you look at Vance the way they do - as a big sack full of cash. Trump is burning through campaign cash on court fees and lawyers so that was the whole decision
God what I'd give (ok... nothing) to see receipts from Thiel paying for Trump's shit. It's pennies for him anyway. He could drop a $1B and never notice. What an incredible society.
All the reporting points to Elon Musk, and his two kids convincing him to go for JD Vance while he was in shock from the attempted assassination. So I am dying at the thought he listened to his kids and now he is fucked.
What do Peter Thiel and Elon Musk love so much about him? I don't get the appeal to them.
They're fucking stupid and trump completely alienated himself from the (heavy fucking quotes) "reasonable Republicans" that he had around during the initial presidency
If it wasn't for Biden drop out he would still have a fucking chance too, that's how much of a joke the Dems have been. Idk what's happening anymore though. Here there be monsters, uncharted territory when the Dems start doing politics correctly. It's a bit frightening just from how foreign it feels
It was a wink wink nudge nudge to the outright Nazis that are sucking trump off currently and he fucked the hell up
There could scarcely be a worst gop vp pick to go with the whole “chuds are weirdos” thing lol
They're both weird, but different types of weird. Carson is strange weird like "wow, okay that's weird." While Vance is gross weird, more of a "ew, that's just weird."
Carson is the weird unc at the party who complains all the time. Vance is the unc who you tell your children to stay far away from and especially in secluded areas of the house.
Boebert or MTG could at least do the Palin-esque folksy charm thing to blunt the weird. Vance brings the “I’m not legally allowed to live within 500 meters of a school” vibe to the weird.
Boebert wins the horny vote for giving a handjob at the theater and having a restaurant themed around being served by women who can physically kill you
What are the odds that Trump will outright say that JD Vance sucks at one of his upcoming rallies?
Yeah He will 💯% throw him under the bus when he loses. And it's literally what's he's always done to everyone that worked under him.
100%. It's barely been a couple weeks and Trump has already started coping with questions about Vance saying things like "the VP pick doesn't matter, because you're voting for the president and not the VP".
I think that if Dems keep doing well in the polls, Trump might just straight up drop Vance from the ticket.
"the guy's a freak. he's gay and his dick is small. it's true folks, i've never even met the guy."
That's even better. They are the good ol' workingman's team. No long winning streaks, no world series ambitions. Just a honest ball club playing the game, winning some, losing some.
God forbid we have a Yankees or dodgers fan in the White House. That smacks of liberal coastal elite
This is a good, honest .500 baseball team. They play .500 ball goddammit. Salt of the earth, punch the clock, even win/loss ratio baseball. They lost a couple, guess what? They won a couple, too. But they never got too excited or let it go to their head. No long winning streaks there, no sir. That's hubris, which that blue collar, hard working everyman team didn't have. A few wins in a row, those guys, true to form, balanced it out with a couple a losses. Yes sir, that's my 2023-2024 Twins. A good, honest .500 baseball team.
Speaking of midwestern baseball teams, one piece of schadenfreude I've been thinking about is if Obama is genuinely an actual fan of the White Sox, he's having a miserable year
“Heck of a year” can mean a good year, bad year… or anything in between.
Honestly wouldn’t be too surprised to learn that Vance quote was real
Lol. Kamala's VP pick, Tim Walz. He's the governor of Minnesota.
Ahhh I see, so that's Walz. I have seen people mention his name but had never seen the man before. Or maybe I have but he's just not that memorable.
