Trump

[Mito Man]

Vance clearly hasn’t visited France

[ZedLeg]

There's a bit of bizarre cognitive dissonance happening with republicans that aren't full on maga just now, they accept that he's rapist who can't vote and most people seem to think that it's at least believable that he would sacrifice two people for a great promo shot. Yet, they'll still vote for him.

JD Vance to be Trump’s running mate

A few quotes from him about Trump:

“I’m a ‘Never Trump’ guy”
“I never liked him”
“But I also don’t like Trump himself”
“My god, what an idiot.”
“America’s Hitler”
“A cynical asshole like Nixon”
“Mr. Trump is unfit for our nation’s highest office”
“I can’t stomach Trump.”
“I think that he’s noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place.”
“I think there’s a chance, if I feel like Trump has a really good chance of winning, that I might have to hold my nose and vote for Hillary Clinton.”

The article those quotes are from ends:

"A spokesperson for Vance did not immediately respond for comment.”

Yeah, but he's a front line republican, so hypocrisy is like breathing to him.

Totally

It just underlines that they don't actually have any real ideology, politics, policies etc

It's just a grift, personal gain

Pour one out for another victim of this, looks like Tenacious D are no more.

Jack Black has cancelled Tenacious D's tour after his bandmate said "don't miss Trump next time" in the wake of the former president's attempted assassination.

The School of Rock star said he was "blindsided" by Kyle Gass's remarks on stage, adding that "all future creative plans" for the duo are on hold.

The comedy rock group were on stage in Sydney, Australia, on Sunday when Gass was presented with a birthday cake and asked to make a wish.

The Tenacious D thing sucks hard. Right wing nutter senator (who got only 4500 first preference votes, democracy is terrible etc) and associated ring wing media (fuck Murdoch to the greatest depths of hell) jumped on a throwaway line and like the hypocrites they all are demanded Tenacious D tour be "cancelled".

I hope everyone remembers these cunts in next year's election.

“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.”

Another cracking quote from JD Vance...

I read the venues cancelled, after the comments the insurers (they already need huge PLI cover that covers terrorist incidents and shootings) demanded a lot more security to continue cover that was not cost effective for such a band (hardly levels of coldplay attendance are they) so they cancelled the gigs.

Shot themselves in the foot on that one it seems. That's a shitty pun.

[ZedLeg]

Jack Black must’ve saw his work with the Dem party flashing before his eyes

Meanwhile Trump turns up at the RNC 3 days later with the fakest bandage you’ve ever seen.

From the opening sentence looks like that's going to be a shit take and it does indeed seem to be one. Likely that that is pretty much fabrication and speculation from beggining to end.

It’s not a cult.

There aren't enough facepalms in the universe...

Kind of hilarious. Reckon this will be up there with the moon landings.
