I want to know Vance’s stance in regard to Billionaire Peter Thiel backing him? @LSL
Vance is smart and has a great story. Pity it’s all wasted on that bearded twerp.
What are you talking about? There’s as much chance of him getting replaced as there was of Trump not getting nominated.
I’ve heard chatter today about Vance being dropped. Supposedly Trump doesn’t like him.
The news shows said that he’s got the lowest approval ratings since 1980.
No one likes him, but he picked him. I suppose he would like to get back in the news feed, but unlike Biden’s move, this will make his campaign look ridiculous. (if it’s even really being considered).
Amen. I hope we stop short with these “premonitions” before it becomes “Let’s all get ready to welcome President Harris, because she’s got this”… in September.
Well that’s a lot of confidence in the opposite direction.
I see not just the left regarding the pick as toxic but also the fascist right. No one likes this dickhead, and signs point to Trump having buyer’s remorse as well.
Trump is mercurial and hates rules. If he decides that Vance is public enemy number one as of tomorrow then Vance will be gone. Beats what happened to the previous one.
Behold, the representative for California’s 56th 
congressional district.
AIUI, AP pulled the story because it’s impossible to confirm that JD Vance has never fucked a couch, just that he didn’t write about doing so in his book.
With all due respect to both of you, Donald Trump considers himself beyond looking ridiculous (parodied in Succession by Shiv proclaiming “we don’t get embarrassed), in some twisted understanding of the Nietzschean Ubermensch.
J.D Vance may find himself dumped for not fulfilling Trump’s magical thinking expectation that he will deliver the white working class, just as Omarosa was somehow expected to deliver Black America to Trump, while all us lesser mortals went “huh? How’s that supposed to work?” And just like Hitler in the bunker blaming the Germans, Trump will cry “I believed in you, but you didn’t believe in yourself, so you deserve this!”
For the avoidance of doubt, “Rep. Jack Kimble” is a parody account (if you look at his bio he lists himself as “co-sponsor of Poe’s Law”). The real comedy is all the reactions from people who haven’t noticed.
(If you like that sort of thing, I also recommend Rosie Holt and Sir Michael Take as British equivalents. Holt in particular is disturbingly good at this.)
Is he hot?
JD “Loveseat” Vance is going to be campaigning in Arizona. They’re probably trying to excite Republicans in the state before Kelly (possibly) gets picked.
Yet again, this sounds like the wrong political instinct.*
*The campaigning, not Kelly.
Ben Meiselas comes right out and says he thinks JD Vance will be fired soon.
Vance is sucking all of the O2 out of the Orange Revenant’s hyperbaric chamber and is a daily source of embarrassment for the campaign. Do you think that Trump can stand losing all of the attention and having all of the transferred attention be negative? I have my doubts about that!
Read a comment that Trump and Vance are if “Truck Nutz were a presidential ticket”, and I wanted to brighten your Friday morning for the perfect line to drop in FB discussions.
You’re welcome.
This couch-fucking story, false though it is, represents the sort of chaotic force that the denizens of the internet can be.
It’s utterly absurd, and yet it is going to be the thing that tars Vance’s public persona for the rest of his life.
And it’s funny as hell.
Ideally, Vance would be Trump’s “beard” towards the creepy parts of the Party. Don doesn’t really care about Project 2025. He’ll back it 100% to help himself, but Vance makes him seem Project-curious and therefore more palatable, the same way Pence did for evangelicals.
