That’s what all of us call him on the playground.

Seriously though, is Vance letting his kids write speeches for him now?

    Was… was that real? Am I real? What the fuck is happening in the adult world right now.

      Yeah I double checked it and found a real news source that confirmed it. Vance claims he misspoke but given how he rambled on about it its obvious it was planned. Wonder which kindergarten-level advisor suggested it to him.

        This feels like Vance is trying to work on his “tight ten” to appeal to the trump base. Perhaps he’s seeing stuff in the White House we aren’t that he feels he’ll need to be more appealing to the base in the near future.

          It’s obvious he’s been trying that all along. He lost some weight over the last 2 years for example. Fortunately he is the embodiment of cringe so all his attempts to appeal to Trumps base tend to backfire on him.

            Sure, but this is, as far as I know, his first foray into toilet humor to try to appeal to trump voters. This move feels like a new race to the bottom (pun not intended, but I’m keeping it anyway).

      Certainly an L timeline.

      ​“And because we need somebody who will actually fight back against the ‘fart left,’ we need Michael Whatley in the United States Senate,” Vance said on Monday to applause. ​“Now, you may not have even heard that, but I actually - I usually don’t misspeak - but I just called them the ‘fart left,’ not the ‘far left,’” Vance continued.

      The vice president’s remark drew some laughs from the crowd, with Vance going on to preemptively dismiss any suggestion he deliberately used the term.

      ​“I promise that was an accident,” he said. “So to the fake news, who will accuse me of bad language, I promise I did not mean to call them the ‘fart left.’ I meant to call them the ‘far left.’”

          Its cringe either way because we know he purposely said it, then lied and played it off like it was an accident, then spun it into some kind of attack on the “fake news”

          Vance should change his name (again for like the 4th time) from JD to JC (Just Cringe) because thats all Vance is capable of.

          Probably testing his audience. If the applause was louder he would have owned it and claimed it intentional. This is the same logic as “its just a prank bro”.

            Well, I guess to me fair I would assume that magafolk would have eaten that up and gone for it too. Maybe the Cushion King does understand them better than me
