    Yeah, it was so devastating for trump to mock vets. Completely lost that demographic. Cost him the election. Oh, wait.

    He’s not under fire for anything. “Liberal” media wants you to think this is gonna be something. Don’t believe the lie. Zero things will happen to him.

      He might get his junk snagged on another loose couch spring again. He really needs to get that fixed.

    Vance knows better. His pre-VP quotes and his education show as much. Vance is a special kind of evil. He traded his conscience for power.

    He’s also not Trump. The cultists won’t follow him to the same depths of depravity.

      I’m starting to think he has been ok with the couch fucking jokes because nobody is labelling him a pedo.

    Under fire…

    Republicans mock veterans every day and veterans and others who put stupid bumper stickers on their cars still vote for Republicans in droves.

    None of this matters to then because he’s got the hard R.

          Very few people who are on fire live long. Wishing someone on fire or dead is something he does daily. I have no urge to be anything like him.

      It’s nice that you think that, Vance has zero charisma. Without Peter Thiel, Vance would still be a nobody in Ohio with a different name, but still fucking couches.

      Vance might be next in line if Trump dies, but that’s literally the only way for him to sit in the big chair.

      He’s just as disposable to Trump as Pence was, and Trump who is jealous of power, has actually put in effort to keep anyone from being named heir apparent, because that would mean sharing even a scrap of power.

      No, Trump will keep pitting his followers against each other until he dies, at which point he doesn’t care if the world ends.

      It’s the reason his kids aren’t involved in the administration this time around. If Trump is unwilling to share power with his own children, what chance does a spineless sack like Vance have?

        We’re all probably already on watchlists and the owner is running a botnet for reasons.

        I really didn’t care about being a part of that person’s bonnet either, assuming their stated reasoning, for my own reasons; but if you’re going to be on the watchlists and get locked up or killed, there are worthy protests about, if you are near any.

      Which is fine, archive.org is better since the people running it aren’t running a botnet.

      It also has the way back machine that is also better.

    Disabled combat veteran had nothing to do with it, he just called her stupid.

    The article is more demeaning than the quote.
