Why does trump make the dumbest fucking faces. My lord the US is screwed(not because of the trump faces, but because….well, this)
America, as we have all known her, is dead.
How did you know her? I knew her as terrorisor of the middle east and I’m pretty sure that’s still true.
For me she was a bully and destroyer of anyone at home and abroad who tried to build a decent socialist society so they could steal resources and who gaslit us into thinking “capitalism is the best system we’ve got”.
Enjoy your Chinese hegemony. I’m sure it’ll be grand.
Don’t you guys call this ‘whataboutism’? Anyways, I’m less concerned with China than the US since China hasn’t dropped a single bomb in decades while the US drops dozens a day in the middle east.
i agree with you, but china is just as ugly
China testing missiles is really not comparable to the US bombing the Middle East dozens times a day.
Yeahhhh american values out the window.
as an Appalachian, let me say this:
i hate jd vance. i hate everything about him. i hate the way that he walk, the way that he talk, the way that he dress. i even hate when he says “hillbilly”. some shit just cringeworthy, it ain’t even gotta be deep i guess.
this dude profits on my people’s pain and claims to be of us when he could not more clearly be an Outsider. like… if he knew even the first thing about Appalachia, which he doesn’t, because there has been a century long effort to erase our history for us, and he grew up far from us and had no chance of ever learning the truth, he’d know a Jewish Ukrainian is an embodiment of multiple aspects of our shared cultural roots.
like. this dude is bullying his cousin because the thing that forced his ancestors off their homeland in europe is paying him money. this greedy fucking bastard is selling out his own people and his cousins for a paltry sum. to reiterate: he claims us, but he is not of us. the way he talks about us is hurtful, and the way he speaks to our closest international cousins is straight up bullshit. dude is straight up evil and doesn’t even show the savvy to be good at being evil
I don’t know why JD Vance is talking. He has absolutely no authority or power as the vice president . And since he clearly has no idea what he’s talking about it’s better for everyone if he just shuts the fuck up .
My two cents
this is who he is. he speaks out of turn. he does not speak honestly. he does not tell stories that connect him to culture, only stories that divorce him of it. he does not self deprecate. why doesn’t he do any of this? because he is not of us. he doesn’t act like us. he acts like hurtful hollywood stereotypes of who we are is who we are. his understanding of what appalachia is comes less from Union Maid, Solidarity Forever, The Pines, bell hooks, and Nikki Giovanni and more from beverly hillbillies and the andy griffith show (and he doesn’t understand that the andy griffith show came from another era and acts as a snapshot of how we were perceived at one time, it’s a packaging of our suffering for some petty cash, not a fucking documentary)
As weird as it was, he was trying to move the
conversationyelling forward. Trump was an old man yelling at a cloud, Vance was an asshole yelling at zelensky.
