JD liar. This guy changed his entire personality for power and money. Vance has no principles whatsoever. How does he sleep at night? He is worse than Pence was.
When vance speaks, peter thiel's Words come out. Vance is peter thiel's Puppet.
The governor of one state sent troops into another state 1100 miles away, against the will of that state. How is this not civil war?
Anyone who's still telling themselves "it can't happen here" hasn't been paying attention. We literally have US troops deployed in US cities.
George just cut his feed, which is the exact right thing to do.
The spotlight should be more and more on JD Vance, to show just what he is. Thank you for doing this!
Don't think of lying as a right. Think of it as a moral failure.
It's crazy how they just blatantly do it.
I have commented frequently that the best description of JD Vance was from Josh Shapiro during the 2024 campaign, which bears repeating: "I’ll say this about JD Vance: it’s really hard being honest with the American people when you’re not being honest with yourself. He is the most inorganic candidate I think I have ever seen. He doesn’t know what he believes, and that is why it is impossible for him to articulate a coherent message to the American people—because he doesn’t believe it.
Cutting Vance off is something more reporters and anchors should do. They should also do it earlier in the interview rather than allow the lies to spread in the first place.
