47 a an elected public servant, have a obligation to report on their activities to the American people. This includes being subjected to rigorous questioning - and listening to dissenting views. This is what Democracy looks like. No dictators.
JD Vance doesn't understand the assignment.

The correct phrase is "yes, dummy.
You're telling me this Nazi went to Yale? OK, we know he didn't go there by merit. But rather by connection that is Peter Thiel. Aka child grooming. Vance is an owned man. He doesn't know what it's like to be free.
The punishment is only a question of geography. Being persona non grata from the Briefing Room and Air Force One, or in a prison cell. The message is the clear, dangerously very clear, fall in line or pay the price.
Elon Musk Says Team Behind CBS's '60 Minutes' Deserves 'A Long Prison Sentence'
"60 Minutes are the biggest liars in the world!" the world's richest man wrote on his social media platform.
I'll never understand how people looked at the choice between two leaders who lead with kindness and compassion versus two jackass men who troll for sport and said, 'TROLLS!'.
Vance is a disgrace that shouldn’t be. Humble beginnings, USMC, on to impeccable education. He should be an example but isn’t. As a said in another thread. Wealth has a potent amnestic effect, he seems to have forgotten his beginnings as well as his humanity.
Foul, unfaithful. These fascists are slapping us around, abusing, and molesting us in front of the world.
Every proud American should be rising up against this!
Agreed. He already took grief from maga when they ‘discovered’ he has a brown wife & kids. It’s gonna be hard for her without a change back to normalcy cuz one of Project 2025 tenets is no divorce.
They defined Jan 6 as a loving event wherein a couple of over-excited tourists threw some bottles. Then they redefined the convicted as "hostages". Then the electorate bought it. And they are still buying everything. How to fight a cult?
Do they REALLY think they can convince those of us with FUNCTIONING BRAINS we DIDN'T see what we DID SEE!? That BRAINWASHING may work on IDIOTS but NOT ALL of us are IDIOTS! It's sad that we have SO MANY GULLIBLE MORONS In this Country!
Indeed. More Americans need to convince their GOP representatives that continuing to support Trump will end their political careers because they will be voted out during the next election. It's the best way to save our country. but will they do it?
They DON'T CARE since Musk can just RIG it for them like he DID for Trump or there may NOT even be ANY MORE elections! Sure the Dems are filing lawsuits to challenge his actions but we CAN'T TRUST the justice system as we don't know if another Trump loyalist judge like Cannon could get the case!
Sure, there are bad Trump-appointed judges, but the plaintiff decides where the lawsuit gets filed and can select districts where there are a majority of good judges.
Absolutely not. GOP will not do a damn thing. For them, all of this is excellent. They believe all this crap will benefit them. As for GOP voters, they all think this is the best adm of all times. We need to stop expecting reason, sense, or normalcy from republicans.
The GOP finally showed that they have spines today after Trump claimed that Ukraine started the war with Russia. They are not yet completely hopeless, but pretty darn close.
For normal people. For them, I will say they are extremely proud of it. Probably had the picture framed and hung on their walls, and/or painted it on the side of their Tesla Cybertrucks.
Prove to me that Trump was actually shot. Check out his right ear and it doesn’t even have a scar. And what happened to the investigations? Not one word.
In any case, it scratched it. I had worse scratches while cutting apples in the kitchen., but oh so manly Orange is so tough because he stood up after that scratch.
Were Biden or Harris getting scratched in the year and publishing photos, oh republicans would be piling. "Just a scratch! Scratch!"
They can try to change history, they can change what is written, burn photos & destroy recordings but, the truth is known to everyone alive on Jan 6 - whether they approved of it or not. We all saw it. People died. None of them will outlive what they said or did on that terrible day.
You love to see how some people act when they are at the top.. I hope people don’t forget his time in glory.. one thing for sure, all things that go up at some point must come down..
That's how they choose to present it as an infringement on *their* free speech and right to assemble. They take everything and turn it right around- It's their ploy. I say stop perpetrating and then playing victim, IT WON'T WORK.
I haven’t watched the View in years and appreciate their thoughtfulness. While the NYT still has great investigative journalism, I think they’ve conditioned me to expect very stupid media takes.
Like a dead clock, Trump is right twice a day. Monkeys typing Shakespeare and such.
Vance, Voight, Musk et al are worse than Trump in the long term. Trump is old, fat and intensely stupid. He will pass. His disciples, which own him, are far more dangerous.
I prefer the term 'investors'. So, we are clear on both sides. Trump doesn't actually trust them, and they don't trust him. But Trump is for sale, as always. I am familiar with Mob terms. This is disorganized crime.
Boss Hogg keeps hand picking them and giving them permission to be their worst selves: rude, racist, selfish hypocrites. He seems to bring out the worst in people, a sign of a true sociopath.
I was in the Marines at a different time than that shit bird but I wish there was a way I could have been his Seargent. I would have either fixed that little tick turd piece of shit once and for all or broken him beyond all hope of repair or recognition.
Vance is currently sitting with a 40% approval rating. I hope he keeps it up with these whiney tweets. He'll be out of the 2028 primaries before they even start.
JD Vance will take the number 1 spot for the dumbest “dummy” ever to illegally sit as an American Vice President. Just infuriating. When do we start impeachment proceedings?
Kids raised by addicts often become people pleasers. This guy has a select few people he wants to please, and he doesn’t care what anyone else thinks, including his wife and kids.
Oh, I think you got me on that one. Haven’t thought of that jerk in a very long time. I guess I’ll need to make a list. Also a convicted felon I believe, (after he resigned) similar, but not as bad as the orange shitbag.
Russia jails people for dissenting views 🤦♀️ Europe prosecutes people for hate speech and incitement to violence. Funnily enough, so does the US in some jurisdictions where it's still legal to be civilised.
If he was a civilian, this would be “not a role model” territory.
As a government official with the power to abolish teaching history, cut funding for education … & oh yes, dismantle the Dept of Education … we are well past the “bad role model” critique.
Someone tell him that this imbecilic display of misunderstood masculinity only impresses likewise weak-character ones.
Tell him to dismiss his security detail of muscle men for 5 minutes and say this to the face of us real people, and let's see how long his bully face can sustain it.
Yep. Cuz im trying to impress bitter old cat turd collectors.😊sorry! I will try harder.😊
maga sucks! I wish i could punch em in their face!!
I dont know if i have a real penis or a make believe one!!
Is that better? Am i an honorary dim now?
Oh no. Liberal women approach. Its funny to watch their tranformation from talking batshit crazy, to purring and grabbing shit to hold on. They seem to enjoy. But then i have to escort them out. Cuz the crazy always comes back with u dims😊
These people have absolutely zero class or intelligence. How sad that the people leading our country have the vocabulary of kindergartners. What an embarrassment.
There are countries run by autocratic leaders who (a) have class and intelligence, and (b) don’t actively undermine public health and safety. We’re 0 for 2 so far.
Both are a violation of the First amendment. Allowing one to happen puts us on the slippery slope to the latter happening. But I'm sure our VP is smart enough to know this and not say the quiet part out loud.
Putting aside for one moment that he’s simply wrong, doesn’t that undercut the entire argument being made by the social media free speech absolutists? If anything short of imprisonment isn’t a threat to free speech, what are they so upset about?
Anything short of imprisonment isn’t a threat to “woke” speech. Even the mildest disagreement with Nazi theocrats is a frontal assault on the First Amendment. See? Perfectly consistent.
It’s real tough to stand up & call someone a “dummy” when you are protected by the SS (abb. international). I’ll bet he wouldn’t dare say that without protection. He’s a little punk ass, that thinks he can bully others now. I can’t wait until he gets his just desserts. I hope they taste like shit.
Actually dumb ass!!! For keeping reporters out of the Press Briefing room that you are retaliating against for saying the Gulf of Mexico is a threat to free speech! It means you don’t want to be questioned or challenged!
He's been acting like this for quite a while. He figures if he puts everybody down it makes him look smarter. I remember him trying to talk down to Margaret Brennan saying " now Margaret, come on Margaret" over and over.
Meanwhile this rude, fake and utterly self serving screwball is what they look up to as having good virtues and as an example. Vance has no sense of decorum, boundaries or class.
Vance- Tells Americans Our Constitutional—Free Speech And Freedom Of The Press— Isn’t Welcome At White House Briefings Bc. Trump And His Administration Can’t Handle Questions That Critique Their Actions! Like Putin’s Russia -ONLY FASCIST PROPAGANDA REPORTERS And PRE-SOLICITED QUESTIONS ARE ALLOWED!
Yeah, a great rol model of who not to admire or aspire to emulate.
NO MAGA is a good role model for our kids. They spread hate, animosity & fear bc they are WEAK.
Wrong, both examples infringe upon a journalists first amendment rights. Jailing someone for expressing dissenting views violates 1A if the person’s speech was infringed in a public space, like say the WH briefing room🤨
Refusing journalist access to press room also violates 1A by denying access🤷🏻♂️
I mean, Yale Law is pass/fail for 1st years. Almost like they assume everyone there is brilliant and just waiting their turn in the corridors of power.
I’d be happy for any Yale Law grads out there to call me out in this point. I’m not holding my breath. I have enough self
-awareness to not expect these folks to see posts from little old hoi polloi me on Bluesky.
I'm curious if journalists wish they would have doubled down on exposing the truth about Project 2025, the dangers of a Trump/Vance administration, and all of the heinous people behind it all. 🤔
Well its the best the methbilly part of Ohio could produce, just be glad he talks and doesn’t grunt, although less talking would be preferable if he’s gonna act this childish.
My child is a grown up now ! Thank God !
But I often wonder how parents explain this presidency to their kids ?
Just the promotion of criminality & criminals alone ?
And so many, many other awful, mean & evil ass things !
That is Authoritarian 101 as you are removing witnesses to the truth of their actions behind close doors as well as crushing those that have the opposite point of view from the tyrant
From the party that cried about their free speech rights when social media platforms did things like ban accounts for violating TOSs and allow fact checks to blatant lies.
Presidents/VPs have a history of spending life post-WH being overpaid to speak at colleges.... nobody will pay a nickel for either one of these two.... that brings me joy. Vance will be given a free sub card for speaking at Ohio's last Quiznos.
Let VP Vance know what you think of his arrogant dismissive response about locking the Associated Press out of press briefings @ https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/.
He was obviously a mediocre student at Yale but he must have failed Con Law.
The VP of the US responding to a journalist. What a great role model for our kids.

His stupidity AND arrogance is now on full display.
Is Peter Thiel getting what he paid for or . . .
It should not take an extensive grasp of history to know it is ugly to talk this way in Munich, Germany.
My husband's family is from Germany, JD made it CRYSTAL CLEAR the United States IS the enemy.
By his own definition, free speech has never been under threat for conservatives. He’s such a dimwit. Are you sure he went to Yale? How embarrassing for them. DEI admit.
Once a person assumes the office of Vice President of the United States, my hope would be that they not spend their afternoons on Twitter replying to tweets and ending them with "hope that helps."
My hope would be that they behave like a VP and not a college sophomore.
He wants power. Vance is one of those opportunists who thinks he can use Trump for his own ends. He made a Faustian bargain and I hope he burns in hell for it.
In his own words.. According to Vance, he received a generous financial aid package to the prestigious law school due to his disadvantaged economic background.
There is a lot out there from ppl who knew him bf his book, interesting stuff..
I'm ready for the local protest today here on the west coast in my tiny rural town. I might be the only one. #Resist #Tyranny #IQ47 #Protest #NoZeroSumGames
This was posted on FB today pertaining to my area. We are an agriculture/tourism area w/a high hispanic population that are depended upon to provide labor. I'm on the school board. 56% of are students are hispanic. Many are very worried. Tariffs will hurt our agriculture sector in many ways.
Ugh 😭
Maybe farmers can set up Co-ops and the community can build set up Co-op outlets to buy locally grown food? That way it's fresher & ppl can bypass corporations. There was a TV article that I saw about that being done in regional VIC Australia.
Seikatsu Club is a consumer cooperative in Japan that operates similarly to how you describe. They are hundreds of thousands of members strong and have cut out the middlemen, creating a sort of planned distribution of goods through online preordering and by delivery direct from farmers to consumers.
I do plan to continue to be active in this way. I was thinking I should maybe try to provide some info to folks. A 'pop-up' if you may, with information. It seems a lot of people are tuning out b/c they are tired and/or afraid. Some folks I've approached to help are concerned about retribution.
♥️ & 💯 to providing Elump info but also positive ideas like using Costco. Chip away. Think Greta Thunberg. Set an eg' by herself & slowly ppl joined her & school strikes became a 🌏 movement helping to change out Fed gov here in Aus as parents heard their kids + off the back of 2019/20 🔥 & floods.
I have tremendous respect for you. I keep trying to hype myself up to go to the one stop light in my town with a “stop trump/musk” or such sign, but thus far my cowardice has won out. I’m keeping my eye out for a protest even remotely in my area I could join to gain some confidence though.
My town has 2 stop lights!!! I started out at city hall then went to the main intersection. I know the hesitation. But I decided to 'feel the fear and do it anyway'. That helps with the confidence. I knew I would regret not going out. Here's a zen beluga whale photo I took - Hope it makes you smile

Who’s the dummy JD?
We are broken.
One should be able to expect at very least some maturity or couth from the VP of a country, and yet.
Trump can pay for his legal bills.
WRONG.
They are going after people who purposefully LIE.
What JD Vance isn't saying is that the Far Right uses LIES & PROPAGANDA to get & retain power & control.
Germany knows a thing or two about that.
Every proud American should be rising up against this!

It's a clown show.
Regarding American workers -
Musk & Vivek Ramaswamy: You’re all ‘lazy,’ ‘mediocre’ and ‘retarded’
Trump on vets -
"He's not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured."
"losers" and "suckers"
"Nobody wants to see that."
Those poor kids.

My issue is with him accepting help, gaining huge advantages from that help, then scorning others who need it.
Going to do it again?
If so maybe make dot point flyers/signs educating ppl specifically on how Elump's impacting your community.
So the "high 5" type ppl/you don't feel so alone perhaps you could create & invite them to a social media pg to discuss issues & build community?
Maybe farmers can set up Co-ops and the community can build set up Co-op outlets to buy locally grown food? That way it's fresher & ppl can bypass corporations. There was a TV article that I saw about that being done in regional VIC Australia.
