That’s what all of us call him on the playground.

Seriously though, is Vance letting his kids write speeches for him now?

    Was… was that real? Am I real? What the fuck is happening in the adult world right now.

      Yeah I double checked it and found a real news source that confirmed it. Vance claims he misspoke but given how he rambled on about it its obvious it was planned. Wonder which kindergarten-level advisor suggested it to him.

        This feels like Vance is trying to work on his “tight ten” to appeal to the trump base. Perhaps he’s seeing stuff in the White House we aren’t that he feels he’ll need to be more appealing to the base in the near future.

          It’s obvious he’s been trying that all along. He lost some weight over the last 2 years for example. Fortunately he is the embodiment of cringe so all his attempts to appeal to Trumps base tend to backfire on him.

            Sure, but this is, as far as I know, his first foray into toilet humor to try to appeal to trump voters. This move feels like a new race to the bottom (pun not intended, but I’m keeping it anyway).

            Trump’s biggest appeal is his perceived authenticity. The problem is that the dipshits confuse audacity with authenticity. Trump is authentically audacious, though. So when Vance tries it, he comes off as the poser he is.
