    So the party with a history of inciting vigilante violence storms a VPs airplane and isn’t shot dead by secret service.

    Is there an issue with the secret service actually doing their job, or do they just give Republicans a pass?

          My dad knows a guy who got shot. Totally. He works with him over at that place where the cheese is made. I mean beer. They make all the beer together and they’re good friends and I know him too. My dad can beat up your dad.

      J.D. Vance is a U.S. Senator. The Secret Service killing him would be the opposite of doing their job…

        I must admit, I am a bit high right now, but I tittered heartily at your lighthearted turnabout, and then my mind, well, now it’s blown, because I now must ask… Does any particular ethnicity or racial identity have a statistically significantly higher birth rate than any and all other identity groups simply because, and with all other factors controlled for, they find themselves and people like them just so irresistibly sexy that they can’t help but have the sexy sex with each other, and because they are both so damn sexy they can’t even right now, and “we’re having sex can’t you see” and ask you to come back later to ask your weird sex questions???

        Any particular one? … Anyone?

    So you’re telling me the Secret Service learned nothing from a couple of weeks ago.

      My guess is that they combined security envelopes to prevent mistakes happening from bad communication and overlapping containment.

      The planes were on the same tarmac, which was probably locked down tight- though as one of the protected persons he had access.

      I find it funny this limp chode thinks he’d do better debating Harris over Walz.

      Proverbially speaking, Walz would feed him through a wood chipper. Harris would feed him through a wood chipper feeding a mulch spreader and then set the field on fire just to be sure.

      ‘Course, he could be trying to take one for the team. You know, keep her away from the pedophile rapist.

    USSS Agent A:

    Sir we have a Couch Fucker Situation.

    USSS Agent B:

    Jesus Christ, that weird bastard again?

    Agent A:

    sighs Yes. He’s walking towards the plane with his chest puffed out. Is he supposed to be doing this? They know they have the Service trainees and the normal agents hate them, right? He’s literally out in the open on a wide open tarmac walking towards an empty plane putting himself and the agents at risk.

    Agent B:

    I should have retired and not have to deal with this namby pamby bullshit. I’ll go down and deal with his stupidity.

    Vance told a Philadelphia rally on Tuesday that he would “absolutely” want to debate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, if given the chance.

    I hope you bring some lube because you’re gonna need it.

    “I want to talk to people who have no interest in talking to me, so I’m going to hang out by their vehicle for a while,” said definitely not creepy and stalkerish JD Vance.

    Almost as awkward as his conversation with Mamaw. If only he would’ve learned from her

    “I’ll never forget the time I convinced myself that I was gay. I was eight or nine, maybe younger, and I stumbled upon a broadcast by some fire-and-brimstone preacher. The man spoke about the evils of homosexuals, how they had infiltrated our society, and how they were all destined for hell absent some serious repenting. At the time, the only thing I knew about gay men was that they preferred men to women. This described me perfectly: I disliked girls, and my best friend in the world was my buddy Bill. Oh no, I’m going to hell.”

    When he brought up the issue with his grandmother — known to Vance as “Mamaw” — she replied bluntly: “Don’t be a fucking idiot, how would you know that you’re gay?”

    When Vance explained his reasoning, she laughed.

    “JD, do you want to suck dicks?” she said, according to the book.

    The young Vance, apparently “flabbergasted,” said: “Of course not!”

    “Then you’re not gay. And even if you did want to suck dicks, that would be okay,” she replied. “God would still love you.”

      It’s funny that those people are always on about how gay representation will lead to kids becoming gay, but here it’s literally one of them trying to shame others, and literally threatening hell who leads to that kid’s questioning.

    Vance, continuing his jocular jabbing, said he’d be more than willing to debate Harris on Aug. 13 “if she’d like to do a debate with me.” That was a matchup scheduled before Biden stepped down, meaning it would have put Vance and Harris on the same stage as vice presidential rivals.

      Not that I think she should, but she would slap him down so hard. She’s a former district attorney. He… co-wrote a book which was full of lies.

    He’s lying. He didn’t go on that plane to see her. The weirdo was going to take a look to see if her plane had any couches. He was feeling a little frisky.

    Trained eye liner wearing monkey follows orders with absurd publicity stunts, showing exactly what sort of performative clown show you’d get if they’re elected, instead of actual policies and governance.
