“Lapdog vice-president.”

A seething op-ed from JD Vance’s hometown paper, the Ohio Capital Journal, is not impressed by his first few weeks in a “nondescript role as an appendage in the Trump-Musk administration."

His role is to babysit Elon's kids

Does he also leave little surprises inside even though he was just let out??

A vile pathetic weakling who deserves our ridicule and scorn.

From Ohio Capital Journal: "Vance, the shameless election denier in service to an authoritarian regime lawlessly dismantling a democratic republic, had the towering audacity and historical blindness to lecture his European audience on democracy, downplay threats from Russia and China..."

"... and publicly court a far-right German party (AfD) that many Germans consider the heirs of Nazi ideas and that sanitizes the Holocaust."

The Washington Post proudly displayed the slogan “Democracy Dies in Darkness”. Now its maga bootlicker has repeatedly sold out journalistic integrity turning its lights off on democracy. We must support journalists and journalism like this. True members of the Fourth Estate.

I think they are overstaffed in the executive branch. This guy needs to send the American people his 5 bullet points.
What does he actually do ?

“The gelding of JD Vance’s political career”… A phrase that induces great pleasure 🤔😊

Too funny. He's also a poster boy for eye-liner.

Is he really using eyeliner, or is that like the couch-fucking thing? I had an English teacher in high school who had such kickass long, dark, lush eyelashes that one might think he was applying both eyeliner & mascara to achieve the look, but no. He just had amazing eyelashes.

jvortizla.bsky.social•1 day ago

depends on how old and uncleaned the couch is, I guess... As for his eyelashes, this was a sudden change in the past few months...

aliphaire.bsky.social•1 day ago

Ah, that explains it then.

Ohio made that Nazi pedophile

Great article it lays bare the incompetence of the Hillbilly VP. Vance does not deserve this position, he is a total hypocrite marrying a Indian girl to help him to understand the social etiquette and than slamming the immigrants 🫥🥵

The only way he has a political future is be killing democracy by coup. Trump could have had road kill as a running mate and still won. Vance is terminally unlikable.

I loved the editorial. It reflected my deeply seated ire that he proceeded to lecture our allies and claim things about masculinity, attempting to move us backward hundreds of years. A real man has no issue with showing kindness, empathy, or gentleness which are human traits of the best of us.

thesnowkeeper.bsky.social•1 day ago

Oh yeah he exists. I honestly forgot about him.

acheronunbound.bsky.social•1 day ago

Appendage? He hardly qualifies as a skin tag.

adamrodger.bsky.social•1 day ago

Chill out, folks; what, do you want him actually *doing* shit? The more of these wackos sit things out, the better.

goldentornado.bsky.social•1 day ago

Suck on that love letter from your friends & neighbors, (J)ust (D)umb Vance & then stick it up your arse!

enragedapostate.bsky.social•1 day ago

Vance is an overgrown college student. He was chosen to stand at attention at the wall and to be seen and not heard.

He actually behaves like an adolescent who is proud of being a student body president.

He hasn't impressed anyone with his knowledge of the law. WTF is going on at Yale?

If a gimp suit was a person.

markstatman.bsky.social•1 day ago

Calling him an appendage definitely gets at what a tool he is. So does calling him a dick.

thomasjay.bsky.social•1 day ago

He's always been a gutless tool.

sunny9002.bsky.social•1 day ago

That tracks because he was pretty useless as a Ohio senator too.

kitboller2000.bsky.social•1 day ago

He is 100% a Nazi. He spoke in Munich about everything except the actual issue. He advised Germans to vote for the Nazi party and told Romanians that they need to elect a Nazi president.
