The cover photo they used makes it look like he haasaged 10 years in the last few weeks. Stumbling from embarassing screw up to screw up on the world stage when most people are already against you will really wreck your youthful demeanor.
Good. He deserves this shit.
Public speaking is hard, even for people who aren’t massively awkward lickspittle cretins.
How dare you make excuses for this asshole!
lickspittle
I’m so glad this term is coming back into modern usage. It showed up twice in one episode of HOTD (and a few others) and I was happy to hear it.
Also, how tf has JDV been a politician for this long without the ability to be likeable and/or know his audience for a public speaking event? Holy shit.
If it matters, I didn’t hear it recently at all, and it’s not a word I use often - it’s just that when I went deep into my lexicon for the best word for him, that’s what I came up with. Maybe the lickspittles are the ones bringing it back.
That opening music was really cringy

bro the dem crowd boos in a way that it sounds like the candidates are being booed, i think we should probably just stick with the weird allegations to be honest.
Someone pointed it out on a slightly different issue the other day, but we already know how Trump treats workers, because he was president for 4 years. Voters haven’t forgotten that.
I mean, some of us haven’t, but most voters have the memory span of a goldfish.
Fuckin savage caption writing.
[clapping] would have been sufficient but they really wanted to let the hearing impaired feel the awkwardness of the moment.He’s beating Jeb! but not in any realistic fashion.
Do you mean JD Vance as in, “JD Vance, the fake hillbilly yokel?”
Stolen Squalor.
Hahaha
There really needs to be a chefs kiss emoji
Let’s go Apple!
(Edit: yes, I know Lemmy hates Apple, but they’ve been the only one of the five companies - the others are Samsung, Google, Meta, and Microsoft - on the UNICODE board overseeing emojis that have actually bothered to make any new emoji for the past 15 years.)
stop, I need to convince myself that emoji are still new.
Lmao, shit no. They’re not even remotely American, either. They were a big deal in Japan in, like, the 90s while we primitives were still using emoticons like simpletons ;)
And even they, with their kanji, could write superior emoticons thusly ツ
I’m no weeb, but give some credit to Apple for dragging us turds into the 21st century and keeping our texts fresh 😉👍
And Apple gave us the rainbow flag emoji, my personal fav 🏳️🌈 to celebrate marriage quality in the United States.
Thank you.
To the moon with this coment, LOL.
Sadly I didn’t think of it, but I’m determined to spread it around because it’s so frigging brilliant.
Some folk’ll never fuck a couch,
But then again some folk’ll.
Like JD the fake hillbilly yokel
Walking out on to speak to a bunch of Boston firefighters with some weird ass jingoist country bullshit playing: immediate boo
You’re JD “Couchfucker” Vance: immediate boo
Your boss a few days before took a shit on the national gravesite of war dead by politicizing the ultimate sacrifice they made: immediate boo.
What a weird group of assholes.
The appropriate intro music when speaking to ANY crowd in Boston is “Shippin’ Up to Boston” by the Dropkick Murphys
I’m a sailor pig!
I always thought he said sailor peg.
You are correct, I’ve fixed it.
Either way doesn’t make any sense 😂
Yeah it doesn’t really does it. To be fair though he did lose his leg so that probably makes it a bit tougher to stay coherent.
Oh yeah top sail and whatnot. This pirate is in need of some rum.
No way in hell they’ll let a political party use their music. Especially not Vance’s party
It’s not like that’s stopped them from using licensed music before…
No but can trump afford another lawsuit?
They should have just done that!
Oooooh, sorry. You’re way too weird, and they won’t let you.
Lay off Vance, everyone! The risk of actually showing how stupid and robotic this guy is is that he might get replaced on the VP candidate slot. He’s a terrible choice that’s driving people away, but if he gets replaced literally a bowl of soup would be a better choice.
What I don’t get as an outsider - this guy (like other equally weird persons as for example Mrs. Palin) is in a rather high political position.
How in the world are these people elected? Is it only about being in the preferred party or were their opponents even more incompetent?
…so you’re suggesting some kind of “replacement theory”… Go on…those dumb dumbs would hate if the meaning of that phrase got flipped. lol
But what if we get the Mooch? How can you deny us the possibility of the Mooch?
Yes, but RFK may or may not be. And at this point trump might put the wrong RFK on his ticket and get the brain worm guy instead of the dead politician.
The more I think about it, the more I expect RFK will replace him.
Hasn’t the filing deadline in most states already passed?
You get into the role of electors, who are supposed to submit the votes for who best represents the state’s choice or something like that. This was written back when it would take weeks to get to DC, so who knows what would be there.
Nah I think a replacement does worse. Not because the replacement would be worse, but it shows insane weakness/ stupidity/ inability to have a coherent strategy on the part of a Trump campaign. It shows that these guys don’t know what it takes to win an election; and giving your vote to a team that doesn’t know how to win an election is a wasted vote. Its the same as why Biden was struggling; losing charges compound interest because viability is a key component of whether or not people vote for you. If you aren’t perceived as viable because of your polling, it bites double.
This is my feeling as well. For Trump to replace Vance means Trump admitting he made a bad call. He makes horrible calls constantly, but I don’t see him admitting to a single one.
It also kinda nukes all their bitching about replacing Biden.
Biden was never officially nominated. Vance was. It’s a much bigger deal that shows weakness in the party.
Bruh, he fired like 129% of his cabinet and other higher-ups last time.
He wouldn’t admit it. He would find something to blame on Vance (probably wouldn’t be a strain) and then “You’re Fired!” and the red hats would chuckle and never miss a beat.
I wonder if Vance then makes the talk show circuit and turns anti-Trump while hyping his new tell-all book
That would be funny as hell, and well frankly probably exactly what would happen.
It might be time to swap JD for Bobby Brainworm.
You mean ole Whaley McChainsaw?
I think it’s important to note that if you only read headlines here, you might think there was overwhelming disapproval from the firefighters union. If you get your news from right wing rags, you don’t hear the boos, you only hear the cheers. I’d say it was pretty mixed listening to the video, in fact more cheers than jeers. Of course that’s all meaningless as we have been digitally editing crowd reactions for years now and news agencies cherry pick what they want you to hear.
The point is, go out and vote. Don’t you dare think this race is in the bag, it is a hell of a lot closer than articles like this would make you believe and the actual hatred for the right is WAY less than you might imagine.
What a chucklehead.
JD Vance puts mustard on his pizza pass it on
In his defense he thought it was lube
Oh, you want FDNY on your fuckin’ ass, too?
One of Trenton NJ’s specialty pies is a mustard pizza. You won’t believe me but they’re actually good.
fuckin’ jersey
Because when you think Pizza, you think Trenton.
Have you ever been to NJ? Literally the entire state is lousy with incredible local pizza joints. If you live in the state and order from a pizza chain, there is something wrong with you mentally.
And yeah, there is a type of tomato pie that is specific to Trenton, and it is known for it around the rest of the state (and PA, and perhaps NY). Google “Trenton Tomato Pie.”
Trenton is a shit city (NJ should do better for their capital city), but people often forget that it has an insanely rich history that goes back to the Revolutionary War. It’s more recent history (early 1900s) includes a ton of Italian immigrants.
That said, I love mustard and I love pizza, but they don’t go together. That’s a travesty.
The Golden Gate Bridge is held up by Trenton steel. The city definitely isn’t what it used to be but the food is still great
Yeah it’s a bummer. I don’t know if it’s a corruption problem, or what, but it’s unfortunate that NJ can’t/hasn’t/won’t fix the city up. It’s still their state capital.
I’m half tempted to put stone ground on some… especially crust
Bottoms up in Richmond VA has one called the State Fair: Spicy brown mustard, sausage, caramelized onions and roasted red peppers.
Years ago when I had it I remember it being surprisingly good.
Sounds good still weird though lol
It doesn’t sound good at all but I would absolutely try it. It just sounds too interesting.
Dude! You want to start World War III??
I bet he eats his wings with ranch, too
Bro what?
*miracle whip
J.D. Vance might be on a generational run for the worst VP pick of all time.
Remember when being unable to spell “potato” was enough to derail a political career?
Howard Dean says “yeeeaaaahhhhh!”
At least Gary Hart got some Monkey Business to torpedo his career.
We’re only 16 years off Palin, that’s impressive.
I mean, generations are only ~15ish years apart - so it tracks…
Vance’s team is already attempting to spin his dismal reception, lauding his bravery for stepping into hostile territory.
They can spin it all they want but he wasn’t in a gd firefight ffs.
And they’re firefighters. They lean conservative. Not as much as cops, but they still lean conservative. Yeah, it was a union, but so is the police union.
Proof that fire fighters lean conservative nationally? Because in my experience that’s very much not true.
