If that's the case, it has been a failure of epic proportions.

Until the podcast/chronically online winds change. He may be a full blown member of the DSA soon if it means more time on Rogan.

But because Trump is President, we’re supposed to pretend that we’re happy with current gas prices.


you do realize there is some room on the spectrum between:

1) pretending you are happy with the current gas prices and

2) pretending you are suffering severely with the current gas prices while
3) pretending Vance has committed some impeachable offense by making lower gas prices goal #1 and keeping Iran from getting a nuke goal #2

right????

Vance has to smear lipstick on this pig that his President brought in. It’s an almost impossible job.


He has to walk a tightrope not pissing off Trump and then having to answer for this shite show when he is a candidate

LMAO, and this is the reason we don’t win wars anymore.

The #1 objective should be complete and total surrender of the IRGC.

I didn’t say he committed an impeachable offense. I simply said that the conflict with Iran seems to have made gas prices worse for Americans, not better. Vance is having to put lipstick on a pig.

No what you said/ implied is that someone wants you to pretend to be happy about gas prices because Trump is President.

No one wants you to pretend to be happy that gas prices are higher

What others in this thread have said/ implied is that their lives are being impacted severely by these increases. Which is as disingenuous as if someone asked you to pretend to be happy about it.

This thread was started, not because Vance is trying to put lipstick on a pig. It was started as a gotcha to Vance because he dared to put reducing the price of gas as a goal above getting rid of Irans nukes. Some in this thread have accused him of spinning or lying as a result. Your position in this thread aligns with this group in part because you are implying somebody wants you to pretend to be happy about higher gas prices which is a disingenuous position on its face

And the sad part is that he doesn't have to be. He is the only one in the executive branch of the federal government that Trump can't fire. He can go on national television and tell America that Trump was a fricking moron for starting this war, and Trump can't do a damn thing to him.

This. He’s going to have to sit out a few cycles if he ever wants a shot at the presidency.


JD will have his "Kamala moment" when some interviewer asks him what he would do differently from Trump. Kamala fricked that question up. How will JD respond? Because we all know that question is coming.

This would have been over by now if they had listened to Marco.

I think Less and less of JD the more i see him speak.


Marco is my guy also.

JD supposedly advised Trump against going to war.

Instead of merely advising him, he should have warned Trump that he'd go on national television and tell all of America that he told Trump that he would have to be a fricking idiot to start a war with Iran.

I'm not a fan of Vance whatsoever but he's in a very tough spot and I sort of feel sorry for him.

It's a lesson in not going where the wind blows though.

A Middle East war that started over WMDs and shifted to another narrative?

It’s a joke so good we had to tell it again.
