He weedwhacks in shorts and sandles.
I saw the bastard press the spatula down on burgers he was grilling.
Unelectable
And I thought him masturbating dolphins after dosing both the dolphin and himself with LSD was weird enough.
This guy has no backbone and just shills culture war trash while sucking his handlers dick at every corner...
This dude has no character
So many modern Boomer conservatives still cling to the mythology of the JFK era and the national labor movements that made America great in the wake of WW2. Reagan and Bush and Trump knew how to pander to these folks and to scapegoat minorities and immigrants as the cause of the country's decline.
Vance doesn't have any of that. He's entirely a product of the 21st century without any roots to speak of. He hates his mom for needing oxy to get through the day. He hates his home town for failing to pull itself up by its own bootstraps, like the armies of government contractors at Yale and Langley and Silicon Valley. And he hates poor white people for not embodying the mystical traits of superhuman races in his favorite pulp fantasy novels. All of that is naked on his face when he tries to talk to anyone over 30.
He's not like us. He spends too much time on the computer and now he's a fucking weirdo.
the national labor movements that made America great in the wake of WW2
Ah yes, the wake of WWII. When America was on top and producing everything, because all of our competitors had the ever-loving shit bombed out of them. Also they needed to buy stuff too.
Hey, I'm a weirdo that spends too much time on his computer and I don't do any of that!
They all do. I don’t see any different outcome if it was DeathSantis or Vivek or Token Tim Scott instead of JD.
These all people have one thing common among them - they all lack backbones and have absolutely no convictions beyond enriching themselves. Not one of them have even an appearance of a coherent policy that works for / is in best interest of anyone but themselves
On July 31, Trump dismissed suggestions that JD Vance was a bad choice, telling the National Association of Black Journalists that vice presidential picks have "virtually no impact" on elections.
Then why are Republicans bothering to attack Tim Walz?
Republicans are synonymous with hypocrisy.
To play devil's advocate in defense of the Vance pick, I don't think Trump needs any assistance in courting boomers. He's managed to appeal to the generation's racist tendencies and "I got mine" attitudes to great success. Vance is to try and attract the young dudebro vote with a discount Andrew Tate. So far he seems like the incel messiah, so maybe it's even working, but obv in all normal circles being such a giant incel is weird af.
He’s not an incel. He “loves” his wife despite her race!
Her tradwife scores were so high that she beat all other ~~couches~~ competitors even after losing points for her inferior bloodline.
Yeah, but did Trump really need any help locking up that vote? It's not like they were going to flock over to Democrats anytime soon. He's just doubling down on demographics that were already going for him anyways. He needed a stable Pence figure that could convince "on the fence" voters that there was still going to be an adult in the room, or just somebody who is anti-Israel or supports Palestine, that probably would've caused the most chaos among Democrats. They'd disagree on everything else, but hey, this person is against genocide in Israel, let's vote for them.
Millennial here, we don’t like him either. I’m really concerned for the couches my children will have to grow up with.
certainly no more reaching between the cushions for change.
Why is he so puffy? He always looks like he is wearing one of those silicon masks.
Too much drankin’
As a guy who’s puffy from too much drinkin’ I can confirm that it looks like too much drinkin
Those Silicon Valley Michelin Star restaurants aren’t going to visit themselves. Someone’s got to keep those sommeliers employed.
Are boomers the ones that had plastic foils over their couches?
I think when JD uses one, it's called a sophylactic.
It keeps the couch from getting… sticky.
"But Recliner babe, I'm allergic to sophylastic ..."
That was more a thing of the Boomers parent's, the Greatest Generation. At least in the PNW of the US. Fads happened in waves before the internet, so YMMV.
They lived through the Depression when they couldn't afford a new couch, so they learned to protect the one they had
Can confirm. My grandma had a sealed couch that would protect it from stains and the like. Scum like Vance would slide right off.
That doesn't make sense - how else do you get little couches if the momma couch can't be fucked?
But yes, you are correct about that, but I try to PSA that its not the great financial & economical depression that caused such behaviour - that behaviour is the default, the normal, what humans always did.
Its only the extreme profit driven consumerism that followed that that indoctrinated us into the 'buy new completely discard the old, dont think about it, it was always like this, since the dawn of time' ... a price generations are now beginning to pay.
They just foresaw Vance's arrival, and were trying to protect the virtue of their innocent couches from him.
Can I request he stop coming to Michigan? This week marks the 3rd time since becoming Trump's choice. We don't want him here.
Someone should suggest he campaign in Miami. I hear he loves the Dolphins.
Trump would never allow a strong male to roam his pasture. Of course he chose a limp towel to be his running mate. Vance is basically his mini me.
What is a con man without the confidence?
The couch cleanliness demographic
Don't let's ignore the searing hatred us gen xers have for this living example of retrograde evolution.
What am embarrassment to Yale. His classmates must be mortified.
What am embarrassment to Yale.
Nah. He's very standard Ivy League material.
Is this... is this a problem for President Drink Bleach?
Probably because at least some boomers were educated enough (in their schools as well as hearing it straight from their parents) about the dangers of fascism.
