    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.

        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.

        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.

      As if Republicans care. Cults don’t care about reality, and they won’t care that it’s obvious Vance stands for nothing.

      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).”

    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.

        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.

    This is your friendly reminder that Donald Trump needed a new VP because he sent a rabid mob to hang his last one.

    He was voted most likely to be hanged or assassinated by his own party his senior year. What a shoe in!
