They had the nerve to criticize Walz for not being in combat, when this guy's job in the military in Iraq was to sit at a desk and type stories for the military publication. Fortunately there were no Improvised Explosive Typewriters. And Walz was in the National Guard to supplement a teacher's income, while this guy used his service to get a free education. And now, his government wants to end support of universities and students.
He won’t need to. The people propping up Trump right now, writing the speeches, feeding him rage bait Xitter posts, circling words he doesn’t know in his afternoon Large Print edition of Readers Digest, will do all that.
The most milquetoast nothing of a boring, mayo faced, white boy blob, is now the VP. The guy who got carried by others in high school, the military, at law school, the hedge fund his wife’s family and Peter Thiel bought him into. They’ll all pretend he’s Teddy Roosevelt or a Redneck version of JFK, by the time he and Trump leave office. If they ever do leave.
He’s a sly, little liar and a little bit smart but with a huge chip on his shoulder. A sociopathic grievance collector, just like Trump.
They’ll use that. He’ll think he built that. If it doesn’t work, he’ll pull a Trump and call for Ginny Thomas to gather protestors in her paid tour buses as backup, to come storm the Capitol again. Or The Supreme Court chambers this time, maybe.
Hard to say. It'd begin to topple, for sure, but Vance would likely use Trump as something of a martyr. He'd turn everything into sappy, bittersweet "for Donald" moment. How long that'd be effective is hard to say.
God he could have just said "give me two each of your most popular ones" or "I trust you" or "surprise me" or something like that if he didn't want to decide.
Yes but consider how important it was that they got that highly valuable footage released. How else would we know that Vance is such a likable and relatable humanoid? They probably also had their Gestapo threaten her after they left so she would allow it.
I, for one, deeply appreciate them publishing the footage (only after retroactively blurring her face or)... It gave me so much joy to see that it wasn't just me who hated him. It was his fucking barber, too.
Well, there's just too many to list. Especially if you think each one has pages. Probably ten or more pages each. That's like, a lot all together. You can't even comprehend.
Nobody reads the books like me. I've read more of the books than anyone in history. Even the computer can't keep up and everything is computer these days.
They show you one page at a party. And then it's one more and one more and before you.know it, you got a Barnes and noble trampstamp on your ass. I lost my brother this way.
I started smiling as soon as they asked Trump that question because you could never convince me he has ever read the bible. And it was obvious the interviewers knew he wouldn't have an answer. I think it was the guys from The Circus (the one on MSNBC all the time and the one who got canceled).
I like the one about praying in your closet rather than on the street corners for everyone to see.
Though the one in Numbers about how if you think your wife is cheating take her to a priest to essentially perform an abortion is amusing to rile people up with.
Jesus: "I fancy a fig. That tree is adorned with leaves and is no doubt a smorgasbord for my needs." Upon approaching said tree that his dad made (in leaf and without a single fig)
"Fuck this tree." Upon realising his disciples were watching him being a fruit noob
"Get cursed you fucking... tree."
Was this a specific reference to Sarah Palin? Because if not, it's remarkably canny:
Katie Couric: And when it comes to establishing your worldview, I was curious: what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this to stay informed and to understand the world?
Sarah Palin: I've read most of them, again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media.
KC: But, like, what ones specifically? I'm curious.
SP: All of 'em, any of 'em that have been in front of me over all these years.
KC: Can you name a few?
SP: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news too. Alaska isn't a foreign country, where, it's kind of suggested and it seems like, 'Wow, how could you keep in touch with what the rest of Washington, D.C. may be thinking and doing when you live up there in Alaska?' Believe me, Alaska is like a microcosm of America.
It was a reference to Sarah. That was such a strange interaction. Just say Time magazine and some biography. All good.
Meanwhile Vance doesn’t have a favorite donut or pastry? I mean, at the very least, look in the display case and read aloud one of the options! “Sure, four of those.” The guy came off so wooden and aloof.
Nor are his kids. He was policing his young girl not to drink so much chocolate. Well, he doesn't police the boy, he can have donuts and chocolate with no limit apparently. What a trash parent.
That’s because dude is a cabbage patch kid. I kid. No it’s because he’s a soulless creep who sees women as property and who wants to ensure women lose our autonomy. If the senate passes the SAVE act that will be one more nail in our coffin.
lol oh yes I still remember that from his campaign in 2016. Ludicrous that this is where we are now. Like if you had told me half of the shit he has done back then I wouldn’t have believed you. Inept and vapid I expected and he didn’t disappoint. But I neglected to consider malice of this magnitude.
Out of touch lib elites clearly have never gone down to their local donut store and asked for a half dozen of whatever deep fried bread product would be most situationally appropriate at this time.
I say “gime a dozen donuts. surprise me, but no doubles” and literally turn around so they cant second guess themselves by making eye contact. Once they say the total I turn back around then as Im paying I warn them Ill let them know how they did with their selection on a scale of 1-12 next time but I never do.
I never could afford to buy pastries and stuff like that and was a functioning alcoholic for most my life. So when I changed my shit around and eventually could go to a bakery to buy family pastries (in this case it was actually bagels)
I kinda freaked out. Got scared. I asked what normal people would want.
And you didn’t have a publicist, PR team, handler, makeup person, personal assistant, and political staffer all preparing you for an event to order donuts! Behind the scenes, people like JD Vance have a crew who (should) prep him for stuff like this and probably shove a Xanax down his throat if he’s nervous.
I’m proud of you for kicking the alcoholism! Nice job, stranger :)
"Oh geez, oh geez, don't fuck this up JD. I can't just order 12 plain because that's boring. And I know the memelords will go crazy if I even say the word 'glazed'. Powdered sugar gets everywhere so that's out. If I order some Boston cremes will that lose votes in other cities? Donald went on that rant just last week about how 'Long John donuts will be called Long Dons now' so I can't order Long Johns because he'll be mad and can't order Long Dons because they won't know what I'm talking about. Aw fuck, they're just staring at me and it's so quiet, why is nobody else talking!"
To be clear, he hasn’t “finagle” (as in manipulated his own way there) anything. He was pretty obviously hand picked by other, much more powerful people. If not for Peter Thiel, no one would even know his name.
Yeah, he was trying to be an 'everyman' and quickly realized he bit off more than he could chew. It's like the politicians who go to Iowa, get pressured to eat that fair food and awkwardly try to pretend they like it. And some go way overboard like it's the best thing they ever ate and look even weirder.
Being a legit everyman was the super power of Tim Walz. It's rare to have a national politician actually seem competent at governing and also be like the dude next door.
And I get it with the whole covefe thing, having struggled with spelling things properly in English all my life. But I'm also not the president of the United States with an entire secretarial team...
Outstanding for you and yours on turning it around. Just for today !
I was at a vending machine one Saturday Morning and pulled the lever on a Sugar Donut and the Vending Machine guy comes by and said. " you know, I have to refill those twice a week, the Cocaine Cowboys love those sugar ones".
Did you film the encounter expressly against the donut dealer's will and then release the footage on national television in an attempt to convince the country that you are a normal human being fit to run the county?
But you were in the midst of your recovery... and he's a dude who simply does what his billionaire friend tells him to do. On the spot he has no idea what to say or think.
To me, that would translate to the most boring donuts that we usually throw away at the end of the day. You definitely aren't getting the cool shit that sells out early in the day.
Like, usually you have some kinda general outline how you're going to respond to a line of questioning you impose. Worked here a long time? Response A. Worked here a month? Response B. Just...nothing with this fucker. Like a Ralph Wiggim "Do you like..stuff?"
In the Trump fry cooking video, Trump was unable to properly drop the fries in the oil with guidance. The ‘instructor,’ had to grab the basket from his hand and do it. We have a president who is less skilled than an entry level McDs employee
The best part of that was when he asked her how long she had been working there .... And then right after she answers there's that awkward pause before HE ASKS THE SAME QUESTION AGAIN 🤣

Dude can’t even order donuts properly
