C'mon now, MSNOW: "The Diplomat"? Really?

[senseandsensibility]

I usually like Ali Velshi's show on MSNOW on the weekends, and I appreciate the fact that the network has live programming on at that time. But this morning on his show they kept running a huge banner across the bottom of the screen that said THE DIPLOMAT

That's all it said. But is was obvious it was meant to describe Jaydee Vance of all people because in addition to this huge banner the rest of the screen was filled with flattering "take charge" pics of the guy. He's striding purposely on the tarmac, he's meeting foreign leaders, he's shaking hands and doing other "diplomaty" things, apparently.

Give me a break. MSNOW is also giving him a lot of credit for supposedly being "anti-war". They're doing him a real service this morning. He could use this for his 2028 campaign ad.

1. Yuck.

[senseandsensibility]

2. My sentiments exactly.

Well said.

3. He'll probably fail miserably. Cause he's an asshole, first off, secondly, Trump only sent him

to set him up to take the blame when he fails.

Of course, if he succeeds, Trump will take all the credit for sending Vance "who the glorious ME ME ME, in my infinite wisdom, sent to get the job done because I'm so almighty smart!"

It's win/win for IQ47.

4. Exactly.

I just wish MSNOW would approach the situation with the skepticism it deserves.

5. Oh, for sure, I'm with you!

Truth is, the freaking M$M pretty much sucks ass (and not in any entertaining sort of way). MSNOW only slightly less so, with the notable exceptions for some of the their talk-show hosts (LOD and Rachel in particular).

6. Watching the video

Of Kushner and Vance, the manliest of manly, walking down the plane stairs sure gave me a lot of hope and trust we are in great hands. All I can see is more real estates assholes sniffing around for more GAZA strip cash opportunities.
Fuck the Kush and the furniture rapist. We may as well have Jr and Eric and Lurch doing the negotiations for us. Or maybe Melania. She showed us last week, she will take no shit from the little people. Do eeeet Now!!

8. Really over the top wasn't it?

I couldn't watch after a while because it was literally like a paid ad for JD.

10. With ya 100% (nt)

[Redleg]

17. I like "cause he's an asshole, first off...."

That does seem to be the bottom line with Jack Dick Vance.

7. JD Vance should demand a Nobel Peace Prize for doing this

[senseandsensibility]

9. lol

Seriously I don't think he'd overstep his boss like that though. It would be like stealing trump's signature move!

[AZJonnie]

11. Honestly it would be pretty hilarious if these dudes did successfully strike a treaty

And the next Nobel board awards Kushner and JayDee the prize, with no mention of His Orangeness.

Can you IMAGINE how epic the tantrum would be? The sheer volume of catsup on display?

It would be absolutely classic

12. DipShitlomat

there. I fixed his title

14. It's more like "The Aristocrats".

If you know, you know

16. The knives are out for Rubio. He'll probably be gone next along with Hegseth and Patel.

So probably Trump can't travel anymore due to his health and somebody has to be made to look as if they have credibility. The owners don't want to upset project 2025.

[senseandsensibility]

18. Yes, the sidelining of Rubio

is intriguing, to say the least. I thought he was the "normal" one (by Maga standards), but I guess that's not what the administration is after here.
