Very strange for him. No couchs to fuck there, then why go? Also wonder just how tight security will be?

WARREN, Vt. — Here in the Mad River Valley, where the Trump administration is about as popular as a rainstorm on the slopes at Sugarbush, news that Vice President JD Vance was coming for a ski weekend was greeted with surprise more than derision.

Not that there isn’t plenty of derision. Activists have planned protests in Warren and neighboring Waitsfield. Local social media sites are chockful of bitter recriminations, saying Vance is not welcome here because of the administration’s policies against DEI and the mass firings at various federal agencies, among other reasons.

But for many locals, the idea of Vance coming to the state that not only rejected the Trump/Vance ticket by the widest margin, but to an especially liberal part of the state where the administration is wildly unpopular, doesn’t add up.

      He was quite an asshole but one thing I know about him that most probably don’t is that he became mayor of Palm Springs to change the zoning laws so he could have a higher wall around his house. They liked him OK as mayor but holy shit, that’s PETTY.

        Clint Eastwood ran for mayor of Carmel CA in 1986 on a pledge to modernize civic codes and administration, the popular face of which was overturning a ban on selling ice cream cones.
