Papaw walked in on JV Vance fucking a couch and Papaw tanned JV’s hide. JV will never forgive him for being so intolerant.
Not surprised he seems to able to read the room about as well as Micheal Scott.
JD’s not reading the room, he’s scouting for sofas.
Vance plugging away at that speed run into the dumpster of political history.
Sounds like a political showdown!Wonder if Papaw appreciates the bailout drama.
“In March, Joe Biden’s administration announced the US’s largest ever grant to produce greener steel, enabling the Cleveland-Cliffs facility in Middletown to build one of the largest hydrogen fuel furnaces in the world, cutting emissions by a million tons a year by ditching the coal that accelerates the climate crisis and befouls the air for nearby locals.”
Ah yes those evil Democrats preserving cities by providing jobs and saving the environment!
Being an asshole is this guy’s super power.
It just goes to show that Democrats will try to help everyone. Republicans will help no one, even their neighbors. It begs to ask the question, why would you vote for people, including someone from your hometown, who don’t give a damn about your livelihood?
So, Middletown — don’t vote for the man who has betrayed your town!

> Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance speaks during a rally in his hometown of Middletown, Ohio, in July.
> A hulking steel plant in Middletown, Ohio, is the city's economic heartbeat as well as a keystone origin story of JD Vance, the hometown senator now running to be Donald Trump's vice-president.
> His office did not respond to questions about the plant or his plans for the future of the IRA. Bailey, a 71-year-old who retired from the steel plant in 2002, said that as a pastor he did speak several times to Vance about ways to aid Middletown but then became alarmed by the senator's rightward shift in comments about women, as well as his lack of support for the new steel mill funding.

Im a union steelworker that works at this steel mill. They’ve made steel here in Middletown for 100+ years and this new furnace would guarantee that steel would be made here for at least a couple more generations. The union membership is overwhelmingly MAGA and have been very vocal on our facebook group against it because “green” is a word associated with libs and also this is socialism so it’s automatically bad. We’re good at making steel but not the brightest people, I guess.
For Republican extremist, it is a requirement to bite off your nose to spite your face.
We should just nationalize the steel industry at this rate
Republican mind set “If it truly helps Americans, STOP IT!”
Remember when a story like this was damning enough to the American electorate to tank a campaign?
The idiots will still vote Trump.
The annoying thing is that biden won’t tell anyone about the bail out, Vance will claim it was his idea I fbiden does it. If he doesn’t then vance will run on look how incompetent biden is.
Dems are terrible at bragging about what they do while exposing what Republicans actually do.
Nobody cares what loser, waffler and official 2024 election weirdo, Vance does.

One thing I never hear pushback on is how the GOP pushed hard for American manufacturers to relocate overseas starting in the 80’s.
I remember them talking up “free markets” and the benefits of offshoring, even going as far as subsidizing the costs of relocating.
In the 70’s-90’s I remember the “Buy American” slogan. I also remember Republican’s in the late 80’s early 90’s publicly fighting against ‘Buy American’.
Their motive was to crush unions. Full Stop.
Yet oddly that never comes up when debating the movement of industry overseas, or even when we talk about the tread toward low wages starting in the early 80’s.
Incredible. The differences between these parties, plain as day.
“How dare you do something good for my constituents while I’m busy stoking fears of immigrants eating pets and children getting sex changes at school!!!”
“Somewhere in there, JD changed,” he added. “He’s allowed outsiders to pimp him. This guy is embarrassing us. That’s not who we are.”
Yep. They’re still gonna vote for him though. 🤦♂️
Stop creating jobs, Joe!
This, as well as his “Haitians eating cats and dogs,” “childless cat ladies,” “people with no children should pay a higher tax rate,” and “people with children should have their votes count more” comments should make for a fun VP debate.
>“Somewhere in there, JD changed,” he added. “He’s allowed outsiders to pimp him. This guy is embarrassing us. That’s not who we are.”
Wish this was the headline, it’s too good. Vance’s own constituents saying Biden cucked Vance.
They’ll probably still vote for Trump.
