When they say they will deport any citizen who hates America, I assume that still means we are all allowed to hate JD Vance. Even the republicans hate him.

[–] gitamar@feddit.org 1 points 1 hour ago

video of that moment including the quote that he broke it on purpose so that nobody can get it after Ohio. Wow.

Kudos to TreVeyon Henderson for low-key trolling the Republicans by being a black man in a tan suit. No way that was an unintentional choice.

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org -1 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

? How is that trolling?

Seems like doing a PR op for them, or am I too European to understand?

It was a huge controversy for conservatives when Obama wore a tan colored suit.

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 1 points 2 hours ago

Mhhh. That's a lame cultural memory. I guess Republicans are gonna republican. Thanks

[–] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 12 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Obama wore a tan suit once.

Republicans went apeshit due to this fashion choice.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I remember Obama ate dijon mustard once too. Media firestorm.

Those were simpler days.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 13 points 21 hours ago

You say "basic tasks", but you try crashing the economy once.

Remember, DEI was created to prevent the hiring of the unqualified just because they were white.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago

Trump and Vance are the revenge of the unqualified white idiots.

[–] spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 21 hours ago

Fucking DUI hires....

[–] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 82 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I LOVE THIS!!! Awesome that the VP from Ohio broke Ohio State's trophy. I love that for Ohio and OSU. Fuck OSU and JD Vance. This just made my day.

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 4 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

Whether coming from PA or MI, it's almost instantly recognizable when crossing into Ohio; the drivers are awful and the roads are worse.

Ohio sucks

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've wanted a flag for a while now, that was OSU but with Michigan colors; idgaf about sports but i think it'd be hilarious to see people frothing at the mouth over it 🤣

[–] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 4 points 1 day ago

Green and white is more fashionable 😉

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 36 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah but imagine if a black woman had done it. We'd need to question her abilities as a black woman and call it woke and stuff. /s

[–] Doctor_Satan@lemm.ee 10 points 21 hours ago

A black woman expertly played a flute and MAGA insisted that it was "to remind you that nothing you care about has any value."

[–] sepi@piefed.social 12 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

What a ghoul like Thiel sees in this couch-fucking fuckup I will never understand.

[–] Marighost@lemm.ee 10 points 21 hours ago

Vance is a lapdog that does what he is instructed like a good little boy.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 12 points 22 hours ago

Probably sees someone who will do exactly what he tells him to. Nothing more complicated

[–] N0body@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No Silicon Valley techbro will ever be president, because they can’t fake being human long enough with cameras around. The complete lack of experience with anything approaching real life will expose them over and over again.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No New York trust fund property developer will ever be president, because they can’t fake being human long enough with cameras around. The complete lack of experience with anything approaching real life will expose them over and over again.

[–] Podunk@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

No California Hollywood actor and former head of the screen actors guild will ever be president, because they can’t fake being human long enough with cameras around. The complete lack of experience with anything approaching real life will expose them over and over again.

(You know it sounds silly when you say it for the third time and it still happens...)

[–] BowlingForBowls 27 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'll bet the reason they don't send back the Maryland man is because he's already dead. I don't want that, I hope he can safely return to his family, but the reason they're not returning him is because something has happened that money cannot fix.

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

I agree but what exactly does that have to do with a football trophy?

[–] BigMikeInAustin@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've had a similar thought.

Dead, or severely hurt. Or the system purposely dehumanizes so much that there is no way to connect a person to a real identity anymore.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago

Or El Salvadorean president is trying to leverage the situation to get something big in return. It's an unpleasant dehumanizing situation, but the man is now a bargaining chip for them.

[–] mybuttnolie@sopuli.xyz 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

How are you supposed to lift that trophy? In the video looks like it fell apart when the other dude picked it up from the top part. Tbh I wouldn't expect it to be that weak.

[–] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Apparently, the trophy actually comes in two parts. It's supposed to come apart. Vance didn't know that, picked it up the wrong way, and it came apart and (when it hit the ground) broke.

[–] Hikuro93@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

Sometimes I look at the politicians from my country, and think to myself "gosh, what a bunch of sleezebags. Even I could do a better job". And then I see this and come back to reality.

I mean, my politicians are still sleezebags, but not at this level, and that doesn't necessarily correlate to my ability to actually do better than them with no actual experience.

These folks are the me that didn't stop at intrusive thoughts. Who thought that just because they were raised on silver spoons and bailed out at every blunder they knew better.

James Donald Bowman is a clown.

[–] Geetnerd@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

What a clown, who tries so hard to present as a tough guy.

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

Fumbleeeeeeee! Whoa Nelly!

[–] altphoto 2 points 1 day ago

It might be more valuable now as a civil rights activist talking point trophy.

[–] BigMikeInAustin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If only it had been a couch trophy.

I'm not sure fucking it would have been any better.
