    Sometimes I think he competes a little too hard with his boss in that new sport:

    Making it difficult to tell reality from satire.

    Does anyone really care what Vancy says? I feel like he is more like background noise in today’s news picture 🤭

      whenever I see any opinion from this shell of a person, I feel the exact same way. Same as Trump: toddler background chatter.

    Personally I’ve stopped listening to what he and his boss says. They way they have been blurbing random things out and pulling them back when the dumbster isnon fire, makes it very hard to take any of it seriously. So why listen in the first place.

      They should listen, right now do more to do the US. Don’t listen make other trade deals, their the same shit back to them, stop taking them serious, put them in the penalty box now.

    Well ironically he’s right about that, Europe should have put a stop to the warmongering of Bush Jr and his little toothless puppy dog Tony Blair. That war should never have been allowed to happen in the first place.

    ~~What’s the name for this type of news just meant to anger? But if it makes us dislike the US more, maybe I’m for it? ~~

    After reading the article, he is right. The title is just shit

    US Vice President JD Vance called on Europe to show greater independence in an interview published on Tuesday, urging countries not to be “US vassals.”

    We should stop being US vassals.

    “It’s Europe’s fault that the Iraq War - a war that my party started and Trump publicly supported - happened in the first place.”

    What a clown.

    Alcoholic mad his friends didn‘t stop him from downing a whiskey bottle while he was throwing punches. Don‘t worry. Next time, you‘ll be on your own.

    First thought: wasn’t it the US who started the Iraq war back then?

    He also said EU capitals could have done more to oppose Washington over the Iraq War.

    Oh yeah, clown world. 🤡
