Originally published at: J.D. Vance Is Caught Between a War and a Hard Place
Vice President J.D. Vance already had a perilously thin tightrope to walk. As the 2028 frontrunner, he has three years to figure out how to stay in complete lockstep with President Trump (anything less is heresy) while also somehow carving out his own lane — particularly if the administration continues its popularity nosedive. It’s a…
You mean Vance is so clueless that he doesn’t see the war as a strong possibility he ascends the throne after the First Felon is deposed? I’m shocked, I tell you….. shocked. [/s]

James Donald Bowman has to check all his positions with Peter Thiel before speaking publicly.

“Critically, such a stance would differentiate him from the much more blob-ish Secretary of State Marco Rubio,” I’ve got a real problem with this appraisal in the article. Vance is basically the Pillsbury Dough Boy with permanent eye liner. The eyeliner was undoubtedly done when he felt he wasn’t appealing enough to some couch or possibly his first love seat. Rubio is less a blob in my opinion and more an incredible shrinking little Marco. It should be clear to anyone the blob is Vance.

Apropos of nothing, now that Noem is Nobody at Home(land) and Senator Markwayne gets her cushy digs and aircraft, this further decreases the Republican lead in the Senate.
Senate Democrats ought to make plans accordingly! (If they could also replace Schumer with someone still living, that would be even better…)

Heck, he’s probably still trying to figure out how to get the documentation that would permit him to vote. Same name as on birth certificate? I don’t think so…

It’s delicious on one level to observe the twists, turns, postures and performances of the master’s minions, especially the Yalie of many names.
On another level we are recording the madness of kakistrophic rule and ruin.
The old king is crumbling. This new boy looks stillborn.

This is not a problem. If there is one thing that Vance has proved is that he has no backbone to stand up for any “principles” he might espouse. He is a weak reed.

I did wonder about the Repub numbers in the Senate! Did TFG not consult with Senate leadership before announcing Markwayne??? Unpossible.

Everyone presumes he has three years. I think he has far less time before it is all dropped in his lap.

JD Vance can get fucked. (It’s time for the couch to get its revenge.)

Perhaps it is my aging eyes, but when I look at both of them all I see is one blob.

JD Vance has “transitioned” so many times in his name, politics, religion, cultural positions, and opinions of Donald J. Trump that one cannot discern what he stands for. He is a self-righteous, corrupt weather vane! He is soulless.

“The U.S. Treasury Department is expected to announce measures aimed at combating rising energy prices, including potential action involving the oil futures market. The potential move would mark an unusual attempt by Washington to influence energy prices through financial markets rather than physical oil supplies, as officials race to blunt the political and economic impact of rising fuel costs.”
– Reuters, today
It’s the appearance of oil that counts. Not the actual product, say Republicans.
Same with wealth.

Oh my hat! On top of the billions blown on the war they’re going blow more trying to influence one of the biggest commodity markets on the planet. I can already hear the knives sharpening in the pits.
Fear? That’s the other guy’s problem
And, seriously, Vance should find a nice couch in some deep hole somewhere and just quit bothering people but barring that it would be nice to see him taken down and burning with all the rest when the piper finally comes to call.

Trump says he must be involved in picking the next Iranian leader. No am not making this up and to prove it I posted this news article.

Well, it’s Axios — AKA Tiger Beat on the Potomac – but, yeah, the demented orange pig is decompensating so fast it’s easy to believe no matter the source.
