Here’s an AP source if you prefer not to click the daily beast.
“I just wanted to check out my future plane… I also wanted to go say hello to the vice president and ask her why she refuse to answer questions from the media,” Vance said, jabbing at Harris.
W E I R D GUY
It’s not unheard of during a general election campaign for opposing candidates to cross paths as they travel, especially given the compressed map that limits much of the campaign activity to a relative few states that will determine the Electoral College winner.
But also, what exactly is the AP doing here? The Trump campaign purposefully scheduled JD Vance to follow Harris to all these places after she released her schedule. They’re not just “crossing paths as they travel,” he’s literally following her
PS What is Trump even doing this week? Is Vance campaigning alone now?
If you’re poor, or non-white, they call that “stalking”
That poor guy…why schedule the scrub newbie to go on stage after the major blowout headliner? Must be Vance’s punishment for sucking. Gonna be fun when Kamala starts posting up the comparison of each event he follows to hers. HAHAHAHA
and yeah, I get trump’s “strategy”, but he is using checkers in a chess game and expecting the same plays to work.
Uncreative, boring, poorly thought out. Weird ancient strats in a modern battlefield. Weak.
It’s not so much a strategy as being unable to keep up with Kamala physically or in crowd sizes.
So many couches and so little time
Trump is too old to keep up with Kamala’s schedule. And he hates the photos of the same venue really full for Kamala and half full for him, so he’s avoiding the comparison like he’s avoiding the debate. He hates being seen to lose. He’s the world’s sorest loser.
Vance, continuing his jocular jabbing, said he’d be more than willing to debate Harris on Aug. 13 “if she’d like to do a debate with me.” That was a matchup scheduled before Biden stepped down, meaning it would have put Vance and Harris on the same stage as vice presidential rivals.
Actually, I think it would be good to change the standard routine of having the VP candidates debate each other, to having them debate the opposing presidential candidates. Then we’d get to see the top-ticket candidates debate two opponents each, instead of just each other.
She should challenge him to show up in September to NBC
They should set up debate podiums at all these places he’s following her and have her stand there, ready to debate. Then we can watch him turn as chicken shit as Trump and refuse.
Much better source without a bullshit headline. Thank you.
🙏
Thanks.
While the daily beast is a fun read, it’s hard to make out where they exaggerate and dramatify things
Does…he realize she’s the current Vice President and that’s an Air Force plane? Dude rolls up on it like he’s about to do a panty raid.
Or does he realize it, and just have that little respect for the office he’s running for and its current occupant?
Please let him find out how quickly he can placed on a no fly list.
It’s a photo op, he had no direct intention to board and was likely surprised he made it as far as he did.
He wanted a photo op of himself looking impotent and awkward? Maybe he’s as weird as they say.
Some people are into humiliation, don’t kinkshame.
I would have preferred he got a little further and got tackled from behind the knees.
Dude doesn’t realize that most of his toe jam comes from his socks, this is a completely fabricated individual with zero understanding of the real world
Doesn’t he get a secret service detail since he’s VP candidate? I image some pretty easy, but unusual, phone calls were made
What the fuck is wrong with that guy
He fucks couches.
While searching for Dolphin porn fetishes.
That’s sick and gross and weird. What kind of websites have those type of videos and/or pics? What are the addresses to those sites? I want to make sure I never click on them.
Bruh
I got the same!
What would have triggered it? Surely Lemmy is not big enough that a comment with 6 upvotes can DDOS a website.
Is it because we’re outside the US?
Probably likely
https://www.raymourflanigan.com/
Nope that doesn’t work either
He’s weird.
He’s a sad weirdo who is jealous of the free time and money being childless allows.
Who also hates his children.
Why else would he stay silent when Dementia Donny was trying to mock a biracial woman?
He’s weird
That’s pretty weird.
Yes, very weird.
So the party with a history of inciting vigilante violence storms a VPs airplane and isn’t shot dead by secret service.
Is there an issue with the secret service actually doing their job, or do they just give Republicans a pass?
as a vp candidate from a major party, vance also gets secret service protection
So… secret service vs secret service shootout? Maybe it happened and it was so secret no-one knows about it!
My dad knows a guy who got shot. Totally. He works with him over at that place where the cheese is made. I mean beer. They make all the beer together and they’re good friends and I know him too. My dad can beat up your dad.
They probably view Vance less as a threat and more as an awkward and socially oblivious guy
Why would the secret service be guarding an empty plane?
To prevent things like bombs being planted?
TBF its the same SS that thought a shooter on a rooftop overlooking a candidate was no issue
I mean, I’d have slacked off too
Isn’t that what regular security is for?
Secret Service is regular security for a vice president.
Probably wanted to cop a feel on those high-end cushioned seats on an AF1 plane.
They should spray the furniture down in case he had his way with anything. Also check for bugs because I wouldn’t put it past those jackasses to try and spy on the VP.
They should treat it exactly as if the Kremlin had sent agents in.
When you said “check for [spy] bugs,” I first thought you meant literal insecty bugs, and that made plenty of rational sense to me, because who wouldn’t come back with even more potent insecticide to douse those couches, maybe some Super-Potent Fabric-Penetrable Bug Annihilator, one formulated for Previously Penetrated Couches, in order to kill the very particular kinds of creepy crawly bugs that JD seems like he carries around on his creepy crawly body.
You know, I’ve been thinking … There’s gotta be another layer of complexity in all that projection vectored through his hating on “childless cat ladies” nonsense, other than the obvious “I’m scared of happily independent women” business.
Fleas. I’m thinking he has fleas. JD Vance has fleas. You know, because something, something, cats.
Bed bugs would also make sense. Him fucking furniture and all. Bed bugs are, after all, the herpes of the
craftcouch-coitus world.
Vance, continuing his jocular jabbing, said he’d be more than willing to debate Harris on Aug. 13 “if she’d like to do a debate with me.” That was a matchup scheduled before Biden stepped down, meaning it would have put Vance and Harris on the same stage as vice presidential rivals.
Not that I think she should, but she would slap him down so hard. She’s a former district attorney. He… co-wrote a book which was full of lies.
So you’re telling me the Secret Service learned nothing from a couple of weeks ago.
My guess is that they combined security envelopes to prevent mistakes happening from bad communication and overlapping containment.
The planes were on the same tarmac, which was probably locked down tight- though as one of the protected persons he had access.
I find it funny this limp chode thinks he’d do better debating Harris over Walz.
Proverbially speaking, Walz would feed him through a wood chipper. Harris would feed him through a wood chipper feeding a mulch spreader and then set the field on fire just to be sure.
‘Course, he could be trying to take one for the team. You know, keep her away from the pedophile rapist.
“I want to talk to people who have no interest in talking to me, so I’m going to hang out by their vehicle for a while,” said definitely not creepy and stalkerish JD Vance.
Almost as awkward as his conversation with Mamaw. If only he would’ve learned from her
“I’ll never forget the time I convinced myself that I was gay. I was eight or nine, maybe younger, and I stumbled upon a broadcast by some fire-and-brimstone preacher. The man spoke about the evils of homosexuals, how they had infiltrated our society, and how they were all destined for hell absent some serious repenting. At the time, the only thing I knew about gay men was that they preferred men to women. This described me perfectly: I disliked girls, and my best friend in the world was my buddy Bill. Oh no, I’m going to hell.”
When he brought up the issue with his grandmother — known to Vance as “Mamaw” — she replied bluntly: “Don’t be a fucking idiot, how would you know that you’re gay?”
When Vance explained his reasoning, she laughed.
“JD, do you want to suck dicks?” she said, according to the book.
The young Vance, apparently “flabbergasted,” said: “Of course not!”
“Then you’re not gay. And even if you did want to suck dicks, that would be okay,” she replied. “God would still love you.”
There are gay men who don’t like sucking dicks too, meemaw.
Just like there are straight women who don’t like it.
Mamaw was a hound for it. And that’s okay, JD!
Mamaw is just Great Gam Gam spelled backwards.
She was doing her best
“I’m not gay! He sucked MY dick.”
It’s funny that those people are always on about how gay representation will lead to kids becoming gay, but here it’s literally one of them trying to shame others, and literally threatening hell who leads to that kid’s questioning.
I know the article says:
J.D. Vance briskly marched up to Air Force 2
But I can’t be the only one picturing a Naruto run.
Thank you for that imagery! I now believe with my whole heart that JD Vance does the Naruto run everywhere he goes.
Reports on the ground indicate Vance repeatedly yelled, “I’m going to be Hokage! Believe it!”, while nearby couch enthusiasts cheered.
this makes him sound vastly more cool and relatable than he is
Now I am.
He was just checking out the upholstery situation on Air Force 2.
Couch connoisseur
Lol, weird.
Weird little brother energy.
