It's so nakedly transparent. I honestly hope all politicians are this bad at hiding their naked lust for power. At least that way you know you can't believe anything they say. No false hopes.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
They've been doing that since 2015.
Soft lips and wide cheeks.
The operating principle of JD Vance’s life in politics seems to be as follows: How can I serve every powerful person while appealing to literally no normal person? There is no boot he won’t lick, no special interest he won’t kowtow to, no family member he won’t throw under the bus, in order to advance…
Making him the ideal GOP candidate for President. Trump was never going to get a third term, mostly because it's illegal, but the GOP doesn't want him, either. He'll have served his purpose after the mid-terms, then he'll be out one way or the other, mark my words.
This guy would never win a single primary. That's why the Thiel faction probably paid a LOT of money to install him as VP
Trump is so old and unhealthy that it wouldn't be surprising if he just keeled over and died of natural causes at any point.
It's pretty obvious that Trump believes that he's going to live for a long time and that he'll remain in control as president or whatever for all of that time. You don't build a ballroom if you think you'll be out in three years.
Vance is like a vulture, circling around waiting for Trump to die so he can swoop in. His best case scenario is that Trump becomes a dictator and he succeeds him. So, Vance will say and do anything right now.
he's trying to ride that tiger, same as Pence. we should start calling him Pence Jr.
Pigs are very cute, kind, loving, and smart. None of these words describe JD Vance
You want me to put more baby oil on Satans butthole boss?
Daily reminder that the guys name is James Donald Bowman and he changed it because he doesn't want to be reminded of his deadbeat dad, instead dumping for another filthy cumstain called Donald.
His name is Joikin Dapenuts Vance.
I will never not laugh at this joke.
Eat any slop and fuck any couch.
No one takes slop like Vance does. He always swallows it and never chokes.
I bet ol JD slops a mean hog. Jus lookit that eyeliner. I bet he smells like my mommas purse
disgusting weirdo.
