He said that Trump was "America's Hitler". In 2016, he meant it as an insult. In 2024, he means it as a compliment.

It's amazing how he changed his mind when Peter Thiel bought him the VP position, huh ?

[mindyaloha]

I love this channel.. may the truth prevail for all..

[personofnote]

Trump’s favorite kind of person. The one who just “comes around” to his way of thinking. They’re all grifters.

[vteck]

Now do one about how Kamala called Joe a racist

[meh]

It's no surprise that a self serving hypocrite will change his position to maximise his hypocrisy fuelled income.

[greenpugcactus]

JD Vance is a shapeshifter! He has no business in government!

[eric-jril]

"everyone has a price..." Unfortunately

[m.schetr]

So we are worried that Vance changed his stance. How about Harris. She changed her stance on everything that's gone on the last 4 yrs. Well till she was on the View and said she wouldn't change a thing about what her and Joe did. I guess she couldn't remember that she changed her stance already.

"...he's come around to these issues that Trump speaks for..."
Trump has never spoken for any issue besides the issue of Trump. This is flagrantly apparent to anyone who has an IQ about 70.

[shrinkrapz]

Ignore the unimaginative, counterfactual bots.

The religion switch is a great indicator of mental health. He moved from ambivalent Protestant to pugilistic Catholic.

One of the many things he and Jr. have in common is the same waistline size.

[fluxfaze]

It’s telling how so many have shifted their stance like dipwad Vance.

“Trump is America’s Hitler. And I’m America’s Himmler.”

- JD Vance, saying the quiet part out loud

[davidpride]

Talk about embarrasing, branding. Both Trump and Vance graduated from Ivy League colleges. Yale and University of Pa. So why didn't Vance know (giving it his blessing) that Trump communicating with Putin as an unauthorized individual, was a violation of the "Logan Act?" Unfortunately, this space does not afford me the opportunity to write a book on the thousands of stupidities, associated with the orange clown. Talk about rejecting affimative action applications today, kind of makes you wonder what the college acceptance criteria really was, back then.

I’ll tell you one thing this shady vance he’s as scary as Donnie boy he basically came out of nowhere and now he’s the candidate for VP. Are you kidding me and he’s a poster boy for project 2025 and some people are saying as soon as they get elected, a few months down the road if they have a majority in the house, they’re going to implement the 25th amendment kicking Donnie boy to the curb and JD’s going to take over that’s some scary shit!!

[jesusacosta]

JD Vance would throw his family under the bus in order to gain power.

[MedicUSA]

With friends like Sofia, who needs enemies? Sharing personal emails and texts from 12 years ago to get your 10 minutes of fame is reprehensible. JD still showed grace and forgiveness towards her when asked about the backstabbing and betrayal in his interview with the NY Times. JD is a class act and will be an excellent VP. 🇺🇸
