    Vance also said he was “outraged at Trump’s rhetoric, and I worry most of all about how welcome Muslim citizens feel in their own country. And there have always been demagogues willing to exploit the people who believe crazy shit. What seems different to me is that the Republican party offers nothing that’s as attractive as the demagogue.”

    Exploit the people who believe crazy shit. Exactly what Vance is doing now that he’s sided with the demagogue.

    Vance is even worse than a narcissist. He knows better and chooses to be evil for his own self-interest. I get why Trump likes him. He understands a life being driven by self-interest. And he knows Vance will burn everything down to advance he and Trump’s interests.

      Vance was the liberal heartthrob until he went full MAGA so that he could become a senator.

        As a self-associated ‘liberal,’ I’d never once even heard of the guy before Trump picked him. That said, I’m not from his state, and it seems like literally everyone there hates him, so maybe the two are related.

        Either way, calling him a “heartthrob” might be embellishment.

      Conservatives in general. Utterly without fail, I’m immediately repelled, uncanny valley style, whenever I accidentally trip into a conversation with one. Pray tell, what are they conserving except “shit for myself”.

    This is how Trump flexes his power. He owns those who once stood against him. To the weak minded- that’s all it takes.

    I love all this shit talking of Vance’s the press keeps digging up. And there seems to be so much of it! I’d love to see a steady drop of this all the way to Election Day, just to dig at Trump.

      They had hoped it would demonstrate that fence-riding hardliners could be swayed to Trump’s side. All it did was show that one was willing to sell out and fake it for a chance at the high chair.

      With all the donor money passing hands to make Trump’s campaign happen, the VP choice might have been over his head. Vance seems more like a pick the Heritage Foundation (Project 2025) would’ve made imo.

      That tiny part of me that loves stupid conspiracies keeps saying they picked him because his name sounds like Pence and either Donnie liked a name he sort of recognized, or if he says “Pence” by accident they can play it off.

      Weird man who ejaculates into inanimate couches

      Which part of that is “morally reprehensible”?

        This is just a simple reading comprehension error.

        Vance “the couch fucker” is the one who called Trump morally reprehensible.

        However, nobody said that the weird man ejaculating into couches was morally reprehensible. But I will say it is very weird.

    I don’t think this guy understands morals - I think he was parroting that opinion. He seems to lack any genuine empathy.

    ROFL what an amateur; one the one hand it is sad that this slimy alt-right Silicon Valley can’t even do the bare minimum to deflect negative attention from former president Trump. On the otherhand, I’m ready for all the tea that will be spilt throughout this campaign! As this will hurt Trump in a big way and I truly want to see Kamala Harris win! Trump, that demagogue is deeply undeserving of holding a political office; his presidency, criminal acts, and his speech that incited the failed Jan 6 Insurrection are proof enough that felon needs to be put in a padded cell.

    What I’d really like to know is if JD Vance would do something unconstitutional for Trump. If he wouldn’t, and that could be the case since the man is just clearly an act, then you know what, he could be the best running mate for Trump because of how much he will eventually undermine him.

    But I sort of feel that he will eventually get replaced by someone far, far worse, probably someone like Tucker Carlson. They will also wait to do it closer to the election, and I think it’s why they might be projecting so much against Biden changing to Harris, they want to make the possibility impossible to oppose or at least make it so that it attracts controversy so that it is more difficult to make an issue of the many skeletons Tucker Carlson has in his closet. It’s clear that Tucker Carlson has been getting pampered for a position of power in the US for quite a while.
