Gotta admit I did not see THAT coming.

Labour rejects JD Vance ‘first Islamist country with nuclear weapons’ remarks

More evidence that Vance will say moronic things to get attention.

Vance was speaking at the National Conservatism conference last week, where he said: “I have to beat up on the UK – just one additional thing. I was talking with a friend recently and we were talking about, you know, one of the big dangers in the world, of course, is nuclear proliferation, though, of course, the Biden administration doesn’t care about it.

“And I was talking about, you know, what is the first truly Islamist country that will get a nuclear weapon, and we were like, maybe it’s Iran, you know, maybe Pakistan already kind of counts, and then we sort of finally decided maybe it’s actually the UK, since Labour just took over.”

That's because you aren't very politically astute when it comes to Donald Trump, conservative values, or any other political dynamic beyond your red armband and the thrill of goose-stepping cadence echoing in your mind.:D

Neither did I, and I was surprised, but thinking about it, it's a pretty astute move. Vance is young, he's going to cement the MAGA base behind Trump, with 4 years as VP he's guaranteed the Presidential nomination for 2028. He's an ex-Marine, the 1st GWOT veteran to be a candidate for VP and, in 2028, President, and if he and Trump do the job we expected over the next 4 years, well, after 8 years of President Vance we can rebuild that "shining city upon a hill" that was Reagan's vision....
 
For a party that hates immigrants they sure do love f’in em and marrying them. 🤷‍♀️
Vance's wife actually is inspiring some misgivings on the far right, where Trump cannot afford to lose any support. (Mind you, the hard right ought to love India, with the caste system they would so love to impose on America. But racism is a powerful drug.)

Like most things people like you credit Reagan for, the "shining city on a hill" not only wasn't his idea, it was a massive misinterpretation on his part. It comes from John Winthrop's speech to the Puritans who landed in Massachusetts in 1630. And he was warning against seeing Boston in such a light, because in that case the entire world would take note of any mistakes they made, and they would then become a notorious bad example.

And 400 years later, it's safe to say Winthrop was right: the Puritans set a really bad example for just about everything.

Now, does Vance help Trump? I don't see how. He doesn't appeal to any groups that weren't already solidly in Trump's corner. He doesn't have much credibility on anything in light of how effortlessly he flipped from "Trump is America's Hitler" to his current absolute obsequiousness to the man. Ohio was already likely to go red. And as I noted above, his wife is already giving the racists pause about supporting the ticket.
 
Always fun when folks like this don’t think the source matters. There is an “idea” they like (or that supports their weird view of the world) and who cares about where it comes from.

It’s the thing I keep trying to tell wrong guide and he still doesn’t get. But he has his Daddy Vlady to educate him, so of course he knows everything.

Thanks for the video.

Trump's motive here stems from his understanding that his time in office is limited to a maximum of four more years. By supporting J.D. Vance, he aims to ensure the continuation of the MAGA tradition beyond his tenure. J.D. Vance represents the next generation of like-minded leaders who can carry the MAGA torch into the future, thereby perpetuating Trump's political influence and agenda in national leadership.

Yeah, no. Trump doesn't give a shit what happens after he's gone. It's all about him, and he perceives Vance as a good running mate because Vance is willing to prostrate himself at Trump's feet to a greater extent than nearly anyone else.

Those who are saying it’s all about Vance’s connections to Billionaire tech bros and venture capitalists nailed it, imho. (Tip of the hat).

How President Biden or any potential replacement could even possibly lose to these transparently corrupt scumbags is a scathing indictment of a significant portion of this country.

SAD!!!
 
“Trump makes people I care about afraid. Immigrants, Muslims, etc. Because of this I find him reprehensible. God wants better of us.”

— JD Vance
J;.D. Vance claims that he changed his opinions. Did he stop caring about "Immigrants, Muslkims, etc?"
 
Interesting...convicted felon Donald J Trump knew the MAGA faithful wanted an "ultra MAGA" ticket so he picked the whitest candidate available, James David Vance (born James Donald Bowman, later changed his name to James David Hamel, later changed his name to current James David Vance....his mama had a tendency to get married often).

Vance was raised a Protestant, became an atheist, then became a Catholic because of his staunch support of a woman knowing her place and making babies uninterrupted.

Ultra MAGA ticket disqualified any non-white male, so Rubio, Haley, Gabbard, Noem, Kari Lake, Tim Scott...all out.

Vance has sucked up mightily to Donald Trump Junior once Junior's daddy got elected, they are "best buds" now. Vance is also besties with Tucker Carlson, who told convicted felon Donald J. Trump that Vance "looked good" which evidently was the deciding factor.

The Trump selection team didn't dig deep enough or didn't care but Vance had a "dot-head Indian wife" and while MAGA may look the other way for the random Slovenian whore, an Indian wife screams "NOT ONE OF US!"
