I know we have the category for the Dumbest Person In the Senate, but do we have one for the Most Worthless Person In the Senate?

Because I'd like to nominate Hillbilly Elegy.

That position is already up for grabs between Marsha Blackburn,and Rafael Cruz.........Perhaps most, self-glorifying? smug? high-and-mighty? egoistic? supercilious? Yeah......supercilious.......that's all him........

I will say this that if they had killed Mike Pence, who is it that would have become Vice President and taken over the job? Think about that.

Well......there is no line of succession for VP. The president would nominate a new VP. I the interim, the Speaker of the house would take over until the new VP could take office.......that would have been Pelosi. Whoever was nominated by Assholini would have to be confirmed by a majority of BOTH houses of congress......and then that person would serve until the inauguration, 2 weeks later. Not too sure if either house would have approved ANY Trump appointee at that time.......tempers where running a little high.........even for the GQP (see Graham, Lyndsey, McCarthy Kevin)

They would’ve killed Pelosi too.

At that point, there wouldn't have been a need for a vice-president.

I have to say I hate JD Vance in spite of being raised to believe that hating someone was just as bad as murdering them. And every time I see that asshole called Sen. Vance I feel as if projectile vomiting is in order.

Ta, Evan. I don't watch CNN, so I'm unfamiliar with Collins. I am, unfortunately, familiar with J.D. Back in my youth, that stood for juvenile delinquent. Seeing Vance I think it does still.

I know nostalgia colors things pinker. But, damn. I still quite like this old Budweiser song.

Which J6 peaceful protestor has been charged with anything?

But that was "... two, three years ago!" From the same people who routinely bring up Obama and Hillary, and even Bill Clinton on occasion.

Absolutely everything Bill Clinton did twenty years before he ever ran for President disqualified him, because, in that position, character matters.

JD is off his game and his eyeliner doesn't look right either.

I can't tell you anything about the eyeliner, but he was off his game because he was supposed to be doing Senatorial duties other than vote how Mitch McConnell tells him, and he's stupendously bad at everything but being a puppet.

You want to see Hillbilly Elegy handle himself with the ease that any Republican Senator, even the stupidest, can against the milquetoast attacks CNN can muster?

Put Peter Thiel next to him to tell him what to say.

Oh, maaaaan. You know you've been owned when the only riposte you can conjure up is "I know it's the media obsession to bring up things that happened two, three years ago."

Do they need to tattoo notes on themselves like fucking Memento so they can remember shit? I’d be worried about their memory if I were them.

Correct me if I am mistaken but it seems that the hillbillies are not sending their best to the rest of the country.

Not really sure why Vance was even being interviewed about the protests. There haven't been any high profile/violent ones in Ohio during this time and he's not really an expert on... anything really but especially the topic at hand.

Well, there’s Four Dead in Ohio. ?

Emil Muz's avatar

that's why I specifically defined "during this time" to separate Kent State from the current happenings. Vance wasn't even born then and probably has never understood the wider ramifications of that day.

Been seeing that picture a lot. You know the one.

The girl kneeling over the dead student was a fourteen-year-old runaway from Youngstown, Ohio.

Probably because he was shooting his mouth off and saying dumb things about it.

Well Vance's supporters got him into office so in the end he has the last laugh...for now. Let's put Vance in the minority so he can have even more time to get undressed sometimes by competent interviewers on TV.

"Let's put Vance in the minority"...?

he is a Senator so he would already be in the minority?

Sorry, I should've said, "keep." It was a misstep on my part. But we want to keep him there this fall and protect vulnerable Dem incumbents.
