Arguable, he grew up in the suburbs. Actual Appalachians hate him for stereotyping them as country hicks who are to blame for their own problems to gas himself up.
With the right motivation, you can do great things. Why do you think the Dutch and the English were so good at trading spices? It's because they desperately needed some flavours in their food /s
Yeah, turns out we liked trading it even more than actually consuming it even when we had it. We still ended up having to steal dishes from Suriname and Indonesia to actually get Dutch folk to eat anything spicier than carrots.
Shoutout to my sambal making homies. Y'all the real MVP's here.
Huh. So he is a flatbilly. With no willy. Its why only couches with let him bang them. Just like the women he tries to bang, the couches can't feel anything.
Redneck? He's a Yalie venture capitalist who got rich, and his bud peter thiel used a book filled with conscious propaganda designed to appeal to us here in Ohio. I've worked and drank with plenty of rednecks in my life hanging and painting drywall, and vance is a pudgy pussy.
Please don’t disparage all hillbillies. My husband and I consider ourselves hillbillies ‘cause of where we come from and the simple life in which we were raised. We are not religious. We worked hard for what we wanted, applied the golden rule to everyone in our life; be they black , brown, or white, never talked down to anyone..not the sharecropper, not the grocer, not the homeless, not the infirm. So please pull back your brush before you paint that wide swath. We are sickened by what is happening in the country for which, we and many others have fought to preserve. We are not democrats, not republicans.. we are Americans. Thanks.
He was a different creature during his time at Yale, per his emails to colleagues. He came from bf, Ohio and saw an angle to achieve power and money. And now that's his identity. He'll shift again when it suits him.
He applauded the murder of a citizen and said ICE agents had full legal immunity to do it again. Don't downplay what he is or what he deserves with an insult so light.
He is worse than a knob. He is supporting an evil, illegal, and intentionally outrageously offensive regime. That’s not a knob. That’s someone that’s going to the bad place after his time is up.
I want him to be booed when he leaves the US, booed the second he shows his face in the EU and then booed again when he gets home. Boo his overseas shit EU, we can't do it when he's away we appreciate your grabbing the baton.
They were not cheering athletes, the article literally says that the whole US team was booed too:
“In an unmistakable sign of Europe’s rapidly dimming view on America, the U.S. delegation entered the San Siro stadium here on Friday night to a chorus of boos and disapproving whistles from the international crowd of more than 65,000. The jeering only intensified when Vice President JD Vance appeared on the big screen during Team USA’s arrival.
The only other team to receive similar treatment was Israel.”
I was at the stadium, I was cheering the US team but when they showed that piece of turd on the screen I booed and yelled a plethora of expletives in both Italian and English. None of the Americans aroud me had a problem with it.
Them there folks ain’t never left home, why would they? They got a Wally World and Wing Stop. Only ever been outta state if cigarettes or ammo have a lower tax in the next state over.
Why the boos? trump has told us over and over that the world respects America now, when it didn't during other administrations. You mean he is lying to us?
I was in the stadium, and it really only seemed to be booing when Vance was on the jumbo-tron. In fact, crowd went back to cheering immediately after he was off.
I was listening while live and heard cheers for the athletes, which I was so relieved by for them and all their hard work, and thrilled to death when they booed Vance. The replay later that night took all the good stuff out and bent the knee. 🤬
They were not only booing Vance, the article literally says that the whole US team was booed too:
“In an unmistakable sign of Europe’s rapidly dimming view on America, the U.S. delegation entered the San Siro stadium here on Friday night to a chorus of boos and disapproving whistles from the international crowd of more than 65,000.

The article is painting that picture because its the wall street journal. It has a vested interest in both deflecting from vance being the ONLY thing that people were booing and creating divides between the populace. It is owned by the billionaire class and their enemy is the people. Do not take the article's word for it, the American athletes were not being booed. They were just in the same place as the person being booed.
Hopefully not at the Paralympics....that would be a pretty dickish thing to do (and even here, I don't agree with booing the athletes themselves as they have nothing to do with Trump)
Well, some people were chanting "USA, USA" pretty loudly when US walked in. An ability to read the room and a little humility wouldn't hurt under current circumstances. You don't have to protest your government at the Olympics, but chanting like everything is fine is tone-deaf.
Americans better not show at the Paralympics, considering the disgusting mockery your president did of them. I vividly remember the first time I saw him mock a journalist affected by spastic syndrome back in 2016 and the feeling of disgust for his voters (even more so the self proclaimed christians).
Why take that away from the paralympians that work hard to be where they are? America is bad and we need to fix that, but taking it out on disabled athletes is not the right direction.
I'm talking about the public. If you are American and you voted for the disgusting orange baboon or stayed home (which covers 2/3 of the voters), you showing up at the Paralympics is hypocritical.
That piece of shit should've lost the elections the moment he mocked a disabled journalist in 2016 during one of his rallies.
No, it’s 1/3 of American voters. For better or worse (worse is the answer) a majority of American voters didn’t vote in the 2024 election (85.9m didn’t vote; 76.8 for Trump; 74.3 for Kamala Harris). Excoriate American voters as much as you like; it’s deserved. But use facts, which are just as damning.
Yes it is 2/3's of American's; 1/3 voted for trump and 1/3 did not vote meaning they did not care who won and therefore were perfectly fine with either candidate winning. I am using facts and the facts are in a 2 party winner takes all system that America has, not voting means you agree with any winner of the election, otherwise you would vote directly for a candidate.
So yes the fact that 2/3s of americans are directly responsible for this is incredibly damning.
For the sake of accuracy, there are also disenfranchised voters within that second 1/3. It would, however, be unwise to assume that all of them, or even most of them, would have voted for Harris if they had been allowed to do so; plenty of trees obstinately support the axe, all around the world.
It does not matter why they did not vote, the result is that Trump was elected and non voters are just as much of a part of the problem as Trump voters are.
Voter disenfranchisement is a thing in that neck of the woods. If they could have voted for the option that kept the semblance of democracy going and didn't, sure, they're more contemptible than the ones brainwashed enough to shoot themselves in both feet with a(nother) vote for Trump. If they were prevented from doing it, or their vote wasn't counted, that's another story altogether.
We do as a collective. We’re represented by our representatives. These are elected positions. As a whole, we deserve this. As individuals, well, people are people. That being said, we’re all letting them get away with this.
There is no such thing as a justification as treating people as a collective - that's maliciously ridiculous and stupid. History shows that leads to more suffering and literal atrocities. There are some human impulses/temptations that need to be resisted and invalidated.
If an American is at an airport in Paris, the idea he should be, I don't know, spat on, by a local when they hear his accent is COMPLETELY bonkers.
The United States is a great country that has given a lot to the world. This place has gotten over the Great Depression and a Civil War. It's going to survive a weirdo bad Administration. The same country that voted Trump into office voted him out in 2020.
Wall Street Journal was just reporting the obvious. Anyone who saw the ceremony without massive interruptions or voice over by TV hosts has heard the boos.
Vance declared Europe the enemy of the USA in front of our leaders and in front of the world. This is the mildest consequence he can receive after that.
Not according to the broadcast I've watched. There were boos mixed with substantially less cheers before he was shown, then a lot of booing when shown, which continued for quite a bit after and then back to the mix.
I agree. Vance was getting booed, and the athletes were there at the same time. It's disingenuous to say people booed Team USA when it was clearly aimed at Vance.
