I expect Trump will respond by insulting the Marine Corps and not lose a single voter.
Are you kidding? Marines love it when a person of higher rank insults them. His vote share will go up.
Will we ever see the breaking point of conservatives' support for Trump? Trump can kick them in the balls and thank him if he says "MAGA".
Trump can kick them in the balls
Are we absolutely sure he can raise his legs that far?
The person is laying down. Bam. Problem solved.
Trump can kick them in the balls and they'll straight face blame Biden.
"It's because of Biden that your testes hurt now, I didn't want to kick them. There should have been ball kicking from the beginning, you know it's a very, really very important thing for our nation's egg prices and wellbeing, and you know the liberal dictators and DEI enforcers, they said 'Why—' yes, I know, really, they said it, 'Why should we have to kick people in the gonads? Why don't we just give transgendered abortions to everyone who needs a ball kicking, on the taxpayer dollar,' and honest to God this is what they told me, honest to God. Can you believe it? They thought they would get away with it, it's unbelievable, it destroyed America, the lack of ball kicking, really, look it up, it's all there. So yes, maybe, it's going to hurt for a while, maybe a few weeks or years—it depends on, well, there's a lot of very good, very good reasons that really smart people have known for a while, but the Biden DEI squad didn't want to talk about it. And there will probably be other kinds of pain to come, maybe some worse than ball kicking, some small pains here and there, and you might be thinking 'How did it ever get this bad?' But it's all Biden, you can check the DOGE numbers if you don't believe me, and he brainwashed all of America, it's a disaster. But now we have a good ball kicking plan, the best plan really, and this is how America got great, and how we make America great again."
Did you take an actual Trump speech and replace the original topic with ball kicking? Because that was spot on.
Nope, just the product of too much time at the beginning of my day and an unfortunate familiarity with his variety of bullshit.
This speech stayed on topic for an entire seven sentences, Trump hasn't been this coherent since 2014.
Wow that's quite a convincing argument. Looking forward to ball-kicking for America.
Maybe all is simple: they don't actually care about Trump or Maga, they just love being kicked in the balls?
I'm not gonna kink shame. They can enjoy what they enjoy, but it's bullshit to force us to be a part of it.
My hope was we would see a slow shift after he was out of office like with Bush, but now I'm convinced he'll be the next Reagan. Decades from now we'll still be feeling the consequences while they talk about how he was the last great president who you could really trust.
He’s done worse and the military still votes for him. Tbf soldiers and anyone who is willing to die for their government is an idiot
Imagine a family member of yourself is currently fighting in a war, you’re being vocal about said war, but you’re actively ignoring said family member.
That looks pretty cruel to me.
Let's not forget that with this administration, the cruelty is the point. I thought the guy was shitty before, this just keeps reinforcing it.
It’s probably because he doesn’t care to dig into an issue any further than what fits the current narrative that he’s pushing, which should be a disqualifying trait for anyone holding an office this high.
I mean it's his cousin...he probably had to punch J.D. at some point in their lives to protect his sister from that weirdo^^
TIL J.D. Vance is related to a couch
Sisters Couch*
Next time activists see him and his kids they should ask him why he wants his cousin to die in Ukraine...
Idiots here are going to attack me but i'm gonna pointing it out anyway: "former US marine drawn to Ukraine by curiosity and a sense of adventure but also felt a strong urge to help" doesn't sound like a good preamble to me
I hope he's a genuine guy and didn't go there just to shoot at somebody and fulfill their military training like many others have done.
Death to the Trump administration.
If you watch the dynamic of the video, Vance was there to show he could do it on the big stage. Trump was the boss there watching and trying not to jump in until he felt Vance lost the thread.
That’s a great thing to do, as a boss, for matters of middling importance. Not so great when you’re both fucking morons and are risking a global conflict.
