The made-for-TV moment was so weird that it could have been a page taken right out of the script of political TV show “Veep”.
JD Vance briskly marched up to Air Force 2, Kamala Harris’ plane, planning to give political reporters a show as he confronted the vice president uninvited on Wednesday. His power-play dreams, like most of his chaotic veep run, were immediately thwarted once he realized Harris was not present. “I just wanted to check out my future plane,” Vance told campaign reporters gathered on the tarmac in Wisconsin.
Like the agents around him just giving each other knowing glances every now and then, inwardly giggling at how funny it's going to be when he rushes into an empty plane.
Having flown out of the airport in question, it only has one gate, it's pretty tiny. Their planes were probably parked literally right next to each other, so it wasn't exactly out of his way
Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of JD Vance masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.
This might be the first time I have ever truly been glad that Veep ended 5 years ago. Because the writers would just be paralyzed by all of this stupidity.
America being the worldwide laughingstock when it comes to politics has lost it's charm. The last few years Idiocracy has become the better alternative.
The only people that think this are people obsessed with American media.
David Cameron has some association with a pig.
Modi has said some bizarre things about being a demigod.
Macron lectured a kid for saying "How's it going Manu?" instead of "How's to going, Mr. President"
Germany has a long history of very dumb policies, not unique to any specific politician. Such as banning protestors from chanting in any language other than English or German.
And many other things. Politics have dumb things and dumb people everywhere*- it's not uniquely American. American politics are just the most widely publicized internationally.
presumably his entourage of secret service people were in contact with Kamala's entourage of secret service people, and they were at no point worried of any threat of physical harm.
If anything that's what's missing in American politics these days, a little across the aisle fornication. Turn the House back into the sex den it was in the 80s! Make America Fuck Again!
It's content, it's eyeballs. People devoting thought cycles to him. Like we're doing now, reading an article about it, talking about it. Probably still a net loss in terms of public opinion, but for his supporters they probably think it's bad ass.
