On Thanksgiving, Senator JD Vance shared a meme depicting himself and Donald Trump superimposed onto Norman Rockwell’s “Freedom From Want,” with a map highlighting GOP electoral wins replacing the traditional turkey. The image, which prompted varied reactions, shows Vance as the matriarchal figure alongside Trump. This followed a more traditional Thanksgiving message from Vance. Trump himself also shared a Thanksgiving meme, portraying himself emerging from a turkey alongside Democratic figures.

Senator JD Vance’s deleted tweet defending his Senate absences backfired spectacularly. While justifying his absence by prioritizing assisting Trump in interviewing potential FBI directors, he inadvertently revealed Trump’s plan to replace FBI Director Christopher Wray before his term ends. This revelation contradicted Vance’s prior argument downplaying the importance of Senate votes, especially considering President-elect Trump subsequently criticized Republican senators for missing votes on judicial nominees. Ironically, Vance returned to the Senate following the deleted tweet and the ensuing criticism.

JD Vance, the Republican vice presidential nominee, has proposed linking US support for NATO to the European Union’s respect for free speech, specifically criticizing their potential regulation of Elon Musk’s social media platform, X. Vance believes that the US should leverage its power to ensure that its allies uphold American values, including free speech. However, his stance has drawn criticism as it appears to favor Russia, as he has also suggested a peace plan for the Ukraine conflict that would involve Russia keeping seized territory and Ukraine becoming neutral. These proposals raise concerns about their implications for the ongoing conflict and for the future of the US-EU relationship.

During an appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience”, vice presidential hopeful JD Vance admired Lily Collins’ Netflix show “Emily in Paris”, calling it a “masterpiece”. He praised the show despite earlier stating he and his wife were watching “some stupid show” after the Republican National Convention. However, Collins, who voted for the Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz, revealed she wasn’t a fan of Vance’s work. The actress praised Harris and Walz for supporting women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, climate policy and environmental protection, access to education and healthcare, and more. She further warned against the ‘dangers of the alternative’.

Ohio Senator and Republican vice-presidential nominee JD Vance claimed that some teenagers become transgender to enhance their chances of being admitted into Ivy league universities. In an interview on podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience”, Vance also suggested that testosterone levels in young men are linked with conservative politics and that some women “celebrate” their abortions. He commented that he and former President Donald Trump could likely win the “normal gay guy vote”. There is no data to support Vance’s assertion that being transgender increases the likelihood of Ivy league admission. Rogan countered several of Vance’s claims, including the idea that any significant number of people celebrate abortions.

JD Vance recently found himself in the spotlight, and not for anything commendable. He applauded a woman’s deranged outburst at a polling station, where she hurled insults—calling a poll worker a “d*ckhead” and telling him to “suck her c*nt.” Rather than condemning this behavior, Vance celebrated it as “patriotic.” I find this response deeply troubling and reflective of a broader, unsettling trend in today’s political landscape.
The situation raises the question of what it means to be a patriot in today’s America. Vance’s support for this chaotic display of disrespect is emblematic of a mindset that perceives confrontational behavior as virtue.… Continue reading
JD Vance has completely checked out of his responsibilities as a U.S. Senator since becoming Donald Trump’s vice presidential running mate. The fact that he has missed every single Senate vote during this critical period is not only concerning but also emblematic of a broader issue within our political system. I often wonder how it is even possible for someone in such a prominent position to neglect their duties to this extent. It feels almost as if he’s given up on the job altogether, prioritizing his political ambitions over the people he was elected to represent.
Vance’s absence from the Senate floor has been quantified; he has missed a staggering 81 votes in less than two years.… Continue reading
It’s concerning that JD Vance was faced with numerous empty seats at his campaign event in Pennsylvania. In politics, visuals matter, and a lackluster turnout like this can paint a negative picture of a candidate’s momentum and support. While it’s true that not all attendees at a rally translate into votes, the absence of a crowd in a critical state like Pennsylvania raises red flags regarding the viability of Vance’s campaign.
The media plays a significant role in shaping public perception, and it’s essential for them to cover such events accurately. The disparity between the polls and the actual turnout at Vance’s event is puzzling.… Continue reading
JD Vance’s recent claim at the vice-presidential debate that his mother obtained private health insurance for the first time under Donald Trump’s leadership has sparked a deluge of reactions. The intriguing twist here is that his mother actually purchased this coverage through the Affordable Care Act’s insurance marketplace, commonly known as Obamacare. It’s fascinating how politicians will readily take credit for policies they once vehemently opposed, isn’t it?
This situation highlights a stark reality – that even those who criticize and denounce certain policies end up benefiting from them in the long run. Vance’s mother’s ability to access health coverage through Obamacare speaks volumes about the importance of such programs, irrespective of the political affiliation of the individuals involved.… Continue reading
