Summary
JD Vance called for the rehiring of Marko Elez, a 25-year-old DOGE staffer who resigned after The Wall Street Journal exposed his racist and eugenicist tweets.
Elon Musk polled users on X about reinstating Elez, with 78% supporting his return.
Vance, while disagreeing with Elez’s posts, opposed “rewarding journalists who try to destroy people.”
Elez had access to the U.S. Treasury’s payment system before resigning.
Can I buy some kind of financial instrument that invests in precisely the opposite shit JD Vance does because the opposite of JD Vance is smart as fuck.
I’m thinking of investing in “JD Vance killed Donald Trump” merch, not because he did, but considering Donald’s age and arteries, if Trump dies of natural causes in office, I’ll be able to ride that conspiracy into my own retirement.
How about President Musk merch?
it is 2026, much of North America is desert. Machines mine what little is left unspent and undefiled. Upon this horizon we can be seen riding giant sandworms of conservative bullshit nonsense, our hooks of satire set sure on yet another raid on Bigot Town.
In this future winning is a state of mind, something beyond a matter of deducing likelihoods of success in particular acts of resistance, it is rather more like getting a high score in tony hawk pro skater.
Lol a while back I heard of an anti Kramer index, so anti jdv might be a thing
prays to flying spaghetti monster oh please my noodly lord make this dream come true
The United States vice president had sex with couches. What a time to be alive.
So government decisions are now being made on polls on X? WTAF??
Lmao, yes. Haven’t you been paying attention? Elmo is president. The naz…. I mean Roman saluters are running the show
“We shouldn’t reward journalists who try to destroy people. Ever,” said Vance, referring to the fact that The Wall Street Journal on Thursday exposed Elez’s connection to an X account that made the inflammatory tweets.
Destroy people by simply pointing out what those people said lol.
And what they said RECENTLY too. They were not dredging up tweets from 40 years ago. If memory serves these tweets were within the year.
To be fair it’s hard to have old social media posts when you’re still drinking milk.
The guy said normalize Indian hate (among other terrible things) and Vance’s wife is Indian. His soul is long sold
These idiots all think they’re immune. They might last longer than the rest of us, but in the end they’ll wind up crushed just the same. Too bad if it gets that far there’ll be no one left to feel the schadenfreude.
[Joke about Vance sleeping on the couch.]
*With
Vance would kill his entire family for power.
^^^and ^^^mascara
He’d kill for a nice Loveseat.
Also never marry outside your race!
In the same breath, they refer to him as a kid making a mistake, to appeal to us. We’ve all been in somewhat similar situations, making mistakes as kids. And then seconds later, he’s a highly trained professional who is well-equipped to manage poring through Treasury docs and deciding where funding is sent or ceased.
What is he? Is he a kid or is he an adult? Be consistent. Fuck everything about this.
This guy has to be seriously compromised. They found him literally fucking an underage couch or something.
ROFL!
The couch was underaged?
I have to take a moment to say- I love when people go the extra mile to push what would have been a funny comment into a much better and hysterically funny one.
It’s like in the show Community, when Pierce got injured, instead of saying: “Call an ambulance!” he said, “Call all the ambulances!”
Maybe it’s just me, but I notice that stuff and always wonder how in the hell the writers thought to add that extra bit in?
Well done!
Elon Musk polled users on X about reinstating Elez, with 78% supporting his return.
I know why Musk does this - manufacturing the appearance of consent and perpetuating his “vox pupuli” delusion - but at this point, it’s so transparent that his followers are sycophantic blue-checks and bots that it’s insulting to even pretend this matters any more than a Russian election.
Unrelated other point: love it how Vance sees he’s fully reduced to an afterthought, so of course to try to increase his standing with Trump he tries to out-shameless the rest. At this point all of the GOP are like colorful birds putting on mating dances for Trump, competing who can be the most craven and subservient, hoping he picks them.
JD Vance:
Surveying the bots.
78% of bots approve his return.
Seems legit
Hey, Assistant to the vice president Vance, you shouldn’t be giving advice.
Of course Vance would.
“Journalists shouldn’t destroy people, that’s our job. We make sure only the right people get destroyed, though, so it’s all good”
I’m generally against holding people to the stupid shit they said as teenagers but the stuff he was saying goes a little beyond typical edgy stupid teenager crap. “I would never marry outside me ethnicity” isn’t a even fringe trying to be funny by being racist type of comment. That’s just someone who is racist through and through. Probably raised by racists as well. Typically kids don’t just fall outta the sky being that racist to begin with. That’s a learned behavior.
Can you imagine marrying JD Vance? It is the functional equivalent of locking your sex life into that pain box Paul Atreides had to stick his hand into, but for the rest of your life (or mercifully, maybe JD’s if you get lucky but still vomits in mouth eww).
…no I cannot imagine marrying JD Vance. Mostly because I’m a straight guy. Maybe the tax breaks would be nice tho who knows. I could get on his swanky government healthcare plan.
You don’t have to try to imagine sleeping with JD, just try to imagine staring deep into his eyes as you said “I do” and not drowning in the emptiness of knowing you are marrying the human equivalent of a racist, sexist fax machine that makes fun of kids for telling people their preferred pronouns.
I think in some ways it would be like having a whiny little pet rock.
The stupid shit was also said only three months ago.
Yeah I didn’t dig very hard for how long ago he said it but I don’t think it would matter how long ago he said it unless he was like 7 and daddy was tweeting for his kid or something lol
“Back when you were a teenager” implies some time has passed and you might have grown. Leniency in judgement could also be applied if you’re still a teenager, but then you also shouldn’t be in charge of anything important because we know you don’t think too good. Also, consequences for their actions is how teenagers learn to not keep doing that. Firing racist teenagers for being racist is good.
Also also, this guy is in his mid 20s.
Yeah really shortens how long ago he could have said it.
Also these kids are still in their stupid teenager phase, as proven by being little Nazis sucking up to to Elon Musk.
I hope im alive when the next Wolfenstein comes out! Kill american nazis!
America died with a whimper! Definitely not as strong as the Ukraine!
FYI, “the Ukraine” was the label Russians (and Risk) used for the region. It’s just Ukraine now.
Merci
America died with a whimper!
Do you get royalties every time you say this or something? You’ve had an account for ~3 days and you’ve already used variations of that phrase at least 8 times. I’m not attacking the sentiment, it just feels forced and isn’t a particularly witty comment worthy of that much repetition.
Definitely no royalties! Just stating the obvious. I thought there would be more of a bang, but nope. You dont have to like it. I dont agree with everything I read online, but that is the great thing about our current lives is that we have the ability to disagree. I just hope it stays that way
Don’t make Vance cry, his mascara will run
