Hegseth is a pound shop Vance, but without the political skills or the thin veneer of respectability. By all accounts he is a nasty piece of work, who should have by rights, been left to presenting the weather in a tiny regional television station. He’s not fit to be picking rubbish from Omaha beach let alone addressing a group of D Day veterans and spewing out acrid nonsense about hordes of brown men, invading Europe with murderous intent.
When you say “ We do not need US politicians getting on their high horse about how we do things in Europe” can I remind you about all the things European politicians had to say about George Floyd?
Something about glass houses and stones springs to mind…
I guess commenting on how awful things are in another country is something all politicians do in order to show how much better things are in their own country.
But I still think that Trump and his cronies are taking it much too far with the way they offer support to far-right politicians in Europe.
People are saying Trump doesn’t want a Republican to win the 2028 election, thus “proving” that he is the greatest etc and nobody can replace him. Or something like that.
Vance is wholly-owned by Peter Thiel (Clarium Capital, Palantir, Founders Fund, Thiel Capital, Valar Ventures, Mithril Capital) and Larry Ellison (Oracle Corporation).
Trump is just their frontman/jester.
Don’t expect things to improve if Trump is put out to grass* or dies and Vance takes over as president.
Nah, Trump bullies and dismisses him. Vance’s poor attempt at being hard ass and challenging make him more a wanker, even if he aspires to being a cnut, like the President. Soon as Trump’s gone, Vance will be forgotten. The worrying thing would be if Hegseth stands – and that 18m into the most Nero- like presidency, rhe Democrats still lack someone with the personality, brains, and wit to rake this group of skid marks on.
Vance is the embodiment of that little wanker who hangs around with the school bully: “Big Dave won’t like you saying that…” The business with Zelenskyy in the Oval Office put the tin hat on his irredeemable status.
I was watching a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode recently and Larry used the C word, naturally in an inappropriate situation. I don’t know if it’s true but he said that the origin of its usage is it is aimed at a man acting in an unmanly fashion. I did not know that (if true), whether that applies to Vance is, I guess, open to debate
I don’t hear anybody countering Reform’s cold rage with support for the Sikh community. Sikhs have fought for Britain with extraordinary bravery in two world wars and during partition. They have more than earned their place in British history and the right to live here.
As Farage himself said about Sarah Everard’s murder: one bad apple shouldn’t mean demonisation of a large group. Then, he meant men or the police.
JD Vance is not ignorant. He knows exactly what he’s doing.

I concur with you Freddy, that’s it, I have to leave it at that because that pillock always makes me angry.
What the fuck have the American people done to themselves?
If J D Vance is al Cnut what does that make Hegseth? It’s a low bar but I think he takes the biscuit.

No more to say really. Just don’t mention Elon Muskrat.
We do not need US politicians getting on their high horse about how we do things in Europe.
I was delighted when the Hungarian electorate paid no attention to the MAGA mob trying to influence their election.
And three loud cheers too for the Albanians who are putting their foot down about Jared Kushner’s plans.

Here’s a song for JD Vance and his cronies…..

You have a good point there @dwightstrut.

Or spouting absolute bollocks such as London is under Sharia law
He’s hideous isn’t he. Trump pick for next president. He’ll probably win by a landslide.
There is talk that vance may not be the chosen one.

Though will vance try to hold back the sea?
I’m sure he’ll try.

*Kicking and screaming, almost certainly.

Exactly.
He’s nothing without Trump behind him. He tried throwing his weight around last summer and the governors all told him to get stuffed.
He’s the patsy and dimly realises. Vance knows better, so deserves every bit of shit that comes at him.

The idea of Larry David as president instead of the sofa shagger is a v appealing one
Yes indeed. Maybe he could have Jeff Garlin as his Vice President? Or even J.B. Smoove?
J.B. Smoove deserves more than VP. Secretary of State at least
Well his wife (in the show) is married to the estimable * health secretary RFK jr in real life.
* complete nutter
Which previously unknown (to me) information has just destroyed all illusions I had about the wonderful Cheryl Hines, you bastard….
Very sorry

A social media campaign should seek to have everyone calling Vance “Fluffer”. His fragile ego would melt down.
‘Fluffer Vance’ had a ring to it.
