  3. Who cares if J D Vance “responds?”

    His only credible response would be to admit he is a complete tool and resign in disgrace.

    When he does that, let us know. Otherwise it’s just bloviating.

  4. Translation: JD feels bad until he checks his Panamanian accounts filled by the FSB.

  5. >I have no interest in arguing with him in public

    He had no issues arguing with a world leader in public, but I guess he draws the line with someone who has nothing to lose and can air all his dirty laundry?

  6. I think it’s actually worse than just useful idiot, in the long run they want to collaborate with Russia to dismantle Europe, country by country. Situation in Romania is hot, Hungary is fucked, and Italy show weakness.

    Technically it’s “aligning with Russia” against Europe. Checking out the feb 25 UN vote…

  7. “We’re not stupid, we’re evil.”

    – JD, probably

  8. If you don’t know the backstory (I didn’t), this is a pretty interesting article.

    Cousin Nate fought on the front lines in Ukraine for three years. He has a lot to say.

    Sounds like he and JD haven’t been talking to each other for quite a while. 

  10. Imagine you’re a soldier who stormed the beaches of Normandy. Your cousin is the VP of the United States. He publicly crucifies Churchill in the White House during a visit. And pushes for peace with the Nazis by giving them ALL OF EUROPE.

    That’s what JD Vance is doing. He’s trying to negotiate a peace plan that is complete surrender. Selling out his cousin who survived D-Day, by giving the land he fought for back to the Nazis.

  11. I’ll take the word of an actual man and defender of democracy over a couch fucker in guyliner.

  12. That’s really all Vance could say, there’s no way he fights back and wins

  13. I must admit that JD’s comment on his cousin was rhetorically well done. I would think JD is a really nice, mature and zen guy after having read this statement – if I didn’t already know for a fact that he’s a dick.

  14. More on this subject from other reputable sources:

  16. JD Vance is a noob – Cheetolini will throw him under the bus when he needs someone to blame.

  17. He should have said thank you god dam it …..🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

  19. > “As far as his criticisms, I have no interest in arguing with him in public, but I do feel the need to address one issue in particular: **his failed effort to contact me**,” the vice president said in his statement, noting that his cousin could have contacted his mother, father, or sister, adding that they’re “regularly” in touch.

    This guy is so weak and sensitive.

  20. The world has always needed useful idiots. These two [Trump and Vance] are very good in this role. It is a pity that Ukraine, Taiwan and others vulnerability countries have to suffer those morons.

  23. Of course he didn’t contact you. You’re a fucking agent of Putin!

    Fuckin’ ‘Shady’ Vance.

    Russians are literally taught to see the West as a pure evil enemy. Above all things they hate the USA – more than the former Soviet States for simply choosing freedom, more than the United Kingdom for never backing down, Russia despises the US. To think that the Putin Administration would share the world with US Oligarchs, especially people so very, very American as Trump and Musk, is naive.

  24. JD Vance looks so feminine with his make up and surgeries. May-be Trans?
