He insults the reporter for handing him a piece of cake, character-building question? Weird!

I’m a veteran. It is not frowned upon to get out of the military after 24 years because you don’t want to be deployed. It’s no different than working at a company for 24 years and deciding to retire because they plan to transfer you to a city or state you do not want to live in. It’s managing your career and thinking about your family. Nothing like draft dodging. He did 24 year!

There’s your answer. Criticizing people makes him happy. He got a softball, fluff question like that and somehow found a way to insult everyone involved. Truly remarkable.

Their default setting is hate, anger and fear🤷🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ They're so weird. We're so tired of that 🤷🏾‍♂️

Let’s be clear that “you might be deployed in the next 2 years” is not the same thing as “you will be deploying in 6 months.” The “you might” projections are adjusted and cancelled all the time. It’s not abandoning your unit to retire after 24 years, and if his superiors thought it was, they would have pushed his retirement until after the deployment.

For a man with kids whom he has said give him a stake in this country, and a wife he kept saying he loves, that was strange. He couldn't remember his family?

[venusretrograde]

These people aren’t just weird, they’re freaking miserable

The answer is "playing with my kids", JD. It's pretty simple

[zwcuqvy]

JD Vance doesn't know what joy is. He is empty inside.

[lynnmarble]

Being angry and living in fear is the Republican way...

[flippert]

Apparently, JD went to the Mark Zuckerberg School for Authentic Human Interactions.

If that does not convince you the guy is a psychopath, nothing will.

[TommyWrenn]

What makes you happy?


Vance: When I add plastic to the couch cushions.

[wesleycurryii]

It is too difficult a question for a very angry hatefull person to answer.

[gnirolnamlerf]

Good grief! JD couldn't even say, "Nothing makes me happier than my children." It seems that the only reason for him to have children is that, without them, he'd become a "cat lady." How could he be the guy promoting families and not immediately say, "Nothing makes me happier than my children?" Or his wife and children. I hope his children didn't hear this answer and realize that they didn't leap to his mind as the answer while criticizing Harris did.

“Bogus questions from the media?” He should be grateful for any questions he’s asked because he’s dull, boring and inarticulate.

[jesperp.]

Even the guy behind him looks angry and miserable.

[rayray]

Ok, so he explained what makes him unhappy…

[adblocker]

Of course, the answer is obvious. It’s his couch 🥰

[Hykje]

The answer is: "Nothing -I thrive in misery."
