He says as the running mate of a billionaire celebrity that’s trying to influence people.
Don't you mean, "billionaire" celebrity?
"billionaire" "celebrity"
Yes, he hosted on Celebrity Apprentice.
Didn't make him a celebrity.
He said Trump wasn't either a billionaire, celebrity, or both., could be any one of the options really. Someone should ask him to clarify so he can stick his foot in his mouth again.
Well we know he’s not a billionaire, and we know he’s a celebrity
Sen. J.D. Vance knows Americans can't be influenced by a billionaire celebrity with little interest in the day-to-day problems they face.
But a pretend billionaire who was mildly famous as a joke decades ago?
That's JD's pick?
No no Trump's not influencing them, he's ruling them.
Or maybe he means the space billionaire who sends rape threats to another billionaire 20 years younger than him?
BWAHAHAHAHA
Maybe this is his way of saying Trump is broke?
Take that Leon
Heterosectional says what?
JD Vance is a Zack Galifianakis character.
He's leaving money on the table here
To be fair Trump isn't a billionaire
Irony, thy name is Vance.
Trump's a billionaire?
Only when he says it.
Well. Technically. They artificially inflated the value of truth social or whatever that ticker is.
He’s got enough shares it could fall to 1 dollar and he’d still make bank.
Vance needs to get a nice sofa in a secluded spot and let this whole thing blow over.
He needs to drop out.
Can VPs drop out even if they want to? I don’t think you can after a certain date. You can do a Shermanesque declaration and resign but the office would still be yours if you ran, declared you were dropping out, then won
I’m pretty sure you can say “fuck this place” at any stage of the game.
I assume that since the deadline has past for some states, Vance has to be on the ballot, even if he drops out. Trump has to carry him to term (pun intended). For example, RFK Jr. dropped out, but will still be on the ballot.
If these terrible people are elected and do not take the oath of office, then presumably the 25th amendment takes effect, and a new VP is appointed by the president, or the VP elect ascends to President if the presidency is vacant.
Vance and a sofa. He'd be the one to blow first.
Hopefully at least the sofa wears protection. Don't want stains.
Scotchgard FTW.
I wonder if Vance has shares in 3M. Seems like given his predilections, that would be a smart idea. But being smart clearly isn't one of his strengths.
I love that photo. He has a face that says "I can feel some of my neurons trying to connect together, but they keep missing so I don't know what they're saying."
I would not want to be on the bad side of Taylor Swift. She holds grudges and puts in the work to obliterate people in her way. She has the money and following to make a real difference.
Do you have examples of this or is it just hyperbole?
Her post has sent over 300k people to vote.gov within 24 hours. Does that work for you?
Not really, that’s not a grudge. I was hoping for example not related to the election.
I thought you were looking for examples of her having lots of following and money, which seemed like a strange thing to have to prove.
For grudges, I think her rule is that she doesn’t hold one, “per se”, and rises above it. I do remember an incident with somebody (want to say Kanye) at an awards show and the way in which I remember her handling it was to let her class and fans speak out for her without having to use her mouth to cut someone down.
The OP claimed she “obliterates” people she holds grudges against. I’d never heard any stories about her like that and still haven’t. Didn’t know if I missed something, I don’t follow career.

The guy who owned the rights to her first six albums was being a bully and asshole to her, so she has been re-recording all of those albums one by one from scratch and telling her fans to buy those instead so he won’t profit off her work. She’s done like 4 already.
To be fair. Trump may not actually be a billionaire on paper, only thoughts.
His comment insists upon itself.
Ignoring reality has always been a risky business.
But what can one expect from someone who is dumb enough to make himself Trumps personal scapegoat?
