Yes, Vance is an a**hole. But he's like Greg Gutfeld playing Blofeld in a Bond film. He's no super villain.

[Miles Archer]

Vance is a lot like Greg Gutfeld, Fox "News'" resident thinks-he's-a-funny-guy.

He's not "funny," just like Gutfeld's not funny.

Gutfeld's a hate-filled, sarcastic little shit who desperately wants to be the right's Jon Stewart, the right's Stephen Colberrt.

That's never gping to happen. Every time Fox has tried to make Gutfeld a "star" outside of the Fox echo chamber, he's bombed.

So what's my point?

EVEN THOUGH I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN the "appeal" of Trump, the "star quality" of Trump (YUCK), the way Trump has held tens of millions of Americans hostage, in a state of worship, believing his lies, sending him money, electing him to the presidency TWICE, I will NEVER BE ABLE TO ADEQUATELY EXPLAIN WHY beyond "ignorant, hate-filled losers who have been given a permission slip to be their worst possible selves, who BELIEVE Trump when he says the loves them, EVEN THOUGH it's a well-known fact that Trump DOES NOT LOVE THE MEMBERS OF HIS CULT (allegedly saying all kinds of rotten crap about them behind their backs while they scream "WE LOVE YOU" )...

...JD VANCE will NEVER be Donald Trump, just like Gutfeld will never be Stewart or Colbeet. Here's some recent proof of that:

'JD, cut the crap': Vance slammed for 'publicly mocking Brown people' despite marrying one

Vance Saturday was called out for "publicly mocking other Brown people" despite "being married to a Brown woman and having mixed-race kids."

It started with a video of New York's Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani saying, “My aunt stopped taking the subway after 9/11 because she did not feel safe in her hijab.”

Misrepresenting what was said, Vance shared that video and added, "According to Zohran the real victim of 9/11 was his auntie who got some (allegedly) bad looks."

*****

Ex-MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan weighed in, too, writing, "Imagine being married to a Brown woman and having mixed-race kids and then publicly mocking other Brown people as they talk publicly and emotionally about their experience of racism."

1. Privately, I'd support him in(en)voking 25th Amendment. Can't be worse than trump. At least he only abused a couch.

2. Nay, Drax

And here's what Vance and his pals MUSK and THIEL plan to do.
They ALWAYS did. Just waiting for Jabba the orange Hutt to croak.

When Trump kicks it, the Crypto Bro Troika will control currency, and hence Wall Street and the world.

Not a happy prospect.

3. I've said it before ...

... but I'll say it again: Vance will never be able to support a cult of personality like DJT. He doesn't know how to do that fake tough-talking buddy-buddy bullshit that Trump has down to a tee from years of swindling contractors. Vance has all the charisma of rotting fish. He whines and talks down to everyone, even those on his own side. Nobody likes him, and nobody is afraid of him.

Furthermore, I don't think he's nearly as susceptible to manipulation by the Stevens (Miller and Bannon), nor does he have the audacity to pull off some of the insane shit that his boss does. I could be wrong, but I don't see Vance as a major threat. I think he would be supremely ineffectual as a President, which would be a good thing for both the US and the world.

5. Different crowd. The technocrats.

If you follow all the (many) links at the referenced post,

You'll see their scheme.
Control all the money
Control all the media
And good buddy Elon can drag in all the nazi folk.
Thiel is cut from the same South African nazi cloth,
but they will rule by technocracy, with a nazi flavor.

All a la Curtis Yarvin, who feels that the rage-filled Trump regime will collapse.

4. Also, look at all the vacations JD has taken so far.

Donald never takes those kind of vacations. He spends all his “off” time plotting new ways to grift money, new ways to destroy things and new ways to insult and humiliate people.

I’m not saying JD would be good, but I think he would at least sleep at night instead of posting incomprehensible screeds on social media. He’s more likely to spend his off time figuring out ways to attach cool family vacations to every single foreign trip.
