J.D. Vance is unqualified

Friends, J.D. Vance — Trump’s choice for vice president — said in a social media post on Saturday that the attempted assassination of Trump was “not some isolated incident” and suggested Biden’s campaign was to blame. “The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs. That rhetoric led directly to President Trump’s attempted assassination.”

@rbreich You spelled sycophant wrong

@rbreich Qualification has no part in what is going on in US politics for quite some time now.

Oh, but such great optics!
And the bumper stickers?!
"Trump/Vance"

Maybe even save some money on ink, as the old template (Pence) has the same letters except the Va.

Horrific. Perfect for him though, Sir Perfect StableGenius of the #TrumpVirus

@drmike @rbreich
100% chance trump calls him Mike Vance or JD Pence at some point.

@rbreich He can still fall to his knees and get back up when told to.

@rbreich
I disagree, he is an extremist Magat, with limitless ambition, and a complete lack of principles. If he did not exist, they would have to make him up.
As an aside, what is wrong with Yale and Harvard law schools?

@rbreich yeh but how often has that ever made a difference to a Republican candidate?
The lack of qualifaction bothers me a little less than the particularly dangerous combination of spinelessness, viciousness, & desperate need for approval.

@rbreich "unqualified" , I don't even know what that means anymore in this country, we have no standards. people have accepted the worst

@rbreich Well, so is Trump

Darwin Woodka Jul 15, 2024

@rbreich well of course

@darwinwoodka @rbreich make America a shithole country again ...

@rbreich the only one less qualified for national office than JD Vance is Donald Trump.

@rbreich
JD Vance is owned by billionaire Peter Thiel; Eugenics freak and the angel fund investor who pumped millions and life into Trump's campaign early in 2016. He has also been best buddies with Megalomusk for decades. Neither is deeply rooted in America, invested yes. Our freedom is truly in high jeopardy

@rbreich Think of him as a more eloquent, less pungent, more presentable, yet perfectly sycophantic and despicable Trump minion. It that sense, he's perfectly qualified to take on and destroy the American democratic system ... unfortunately, though.

@rbreich Good on you for trying to convince the middle -- I'm beyond caring at this point. I don't know who this guy is and I don't want to. The people in the middle are lost to me. I started reading this and within the first paragraph was like, "Yep...I'm done. I don't care." They're scum. People in the middle may as well be considered the same. Sorry. I just can't anymore.

Urzl Jul 15, 2024

@rbreich If he was qualified, he couldn't be a MAGAt Republican. People who legitimately care about and can help the USA don't work for the GOP.

@rbreich
Is Donald Trump qualified?

@rbreich fits in with the rest of the administration as it would likely shake out.

Humain Jul 16, 2024

@rbreich he is qualified to do trump-putin 's bidding, that's what the role is
