    I cannot imagine being a vice president. You do jack squat and serve as a lap dog all on the hopes that the person above you dies, which rarely happens because of state of the art healthcare. Moreover in Vance’s case the last guy to occupy the position was threatened with gallows.

      Depending on the administration, the role is pretty defined. In this administration, I’m surprised anyone knows what their job is.

      There are a few firm roles, outlined in the constitution. Here is one that (imo) he isn’t doing:

      25th Amendment roles: The VP helps determine if the president is unable to discharge their duties (for example, during illness or incapacity).

    I listened to the clip from ABC. No wonder George cut him off. Vance spent the entire time being a belligerent prick.

      But don’t most MAGA do that during interviews? A reporter will ask a perfectly tame question and they will start accusing them of being woke antifa working for the Democrats.

      Good if they are finally calling out that BS.

    This is a good example of why I don’t think Vance will be able to supplant Trump. Trump is a master troll, he does a way better job of baiting people to keep engaging with him. You have to be the right kind of frustrating. Vance is just irksome, but not in a way that baits you or makes you wish you could try your hand at debating with him. Trump manages to make it so enticing to keep talking to him. He makes it feel like you might be able to get a good own in on him if you just try. But Vance is such a tryhard and just reads as this annoying little fly that you can just swat away

    Man, this is the party that has a so-called “president” who is obsessed with paving over the Rose Garden, levying random tariffs illegally on countries, installing a ballroom, taking over the Kennedy Center, thirsting for a Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing, building a triumph arc, having a UFC fight at the WH, has a whole shit-ton of Confederate influencers that cheered a shut down because they wanted more of their shitty schemes to be rammed through, and has a lot of the base positively giddy about having people stolen off the street by armed masked unidentified thugs, who may not even be ICE for all we know.

    And this asshat sits there and pretends to show deep concern that the media is wondering about one of their accepting 50,000 in cash and acts like the real concern is the American people? What is all that other shit going to do for the American people? Even the stupid brainstems that still worship Taco are not going to benefit from any of that shit…

    My gawd, what a fucking asshole.
