Damn, Czech broadcaster: “JD Vance, he drew eyeliner so he could see clearly for cheering his athletes.” That is not how eyeliner works, but due to the catty intent behind the statement, artistic expression and high degree of difficulty attempting JD Vance jokes that don’t involve fucking a couch, we will allow it!
Thank you to all those who captured the booing for us to see & hear, since NBC is choosing (or have they been ordered) to edit out the boos and put in applause. Sickening.
I have trouble hearing the boos. I did at the football game earlier this season too. I want a chorus à la Bridgestone Arena’s Section 306(?)+ at the Predators games who taunt the visiting goalie that’s just been scored on with:
“DOOON-AAAALLLD!
DOOON-AAAALLLD!
DOOON-AAAALLLD!
YOU SUCK!
IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT!
IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT!
IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT!“
+I’m not sure what section it is honestly, somebody told me once but I forgot. In Lenovo Center it’d be Section 328. But they leave off the IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT! part.
From Paul Krugman's substack today, which was uncharacteristically NOT about economics, but about what being "swaddled in a golden blanket privelege and luxury" does to people and a meditation on the Epstein saga...
"But the Daily Mail reports that he and his entourage arrived “on multiple aircraft carrying staff, security personnel, food supplies and vehicles” and that “His ground convoy, made up of dozens of Chevy Suburbans, struggled through Milan’s narrow streets.” Like many others who’ve been there, my first reaction was “He brought food to Milan?” "
HE BROUGHT FOOD to Milan. Milan, Italy. ITALY!
Whatta truly provicial putz.
Seriously go read the whole column, if only for Krugman's wry mention of 'that Swedish Thing" :-)
I had the same reaction. I think a lot of people did.
He brought his own FOOD? To possibly the most culinarily blessed countries on the face of the PLANET? Is there ANYTHING about that man that’s not completely two dimensional?
Well, whaddaya know. It turns out Jake Paul has a legit reason for being at the Olympics and huffing about athletes who don't like Trump: His fiancée is competing as a speedskater for Holland.
In fact, she just won a gold medal.
And she looks to be quite the babe.
Paul may be annoying, but give the dude credit: He leveraged his overall obnoxiousness into the kind of popularity that helps you with women.
Now, if he would only fight a guy his own age and size...
Yeah, I wonder if his true personality will eventually come through and alienate her.
Although what do I know? For all I do, he may actually be a total, considerate sweetheart when it comes to relationships, and he's not posting content or preening or whatever. No one really knows about anyone else's relationship.
As a Canadian I absolutely loved how our commentators dealt with it.
Watching/hearing JD getting booed everywhere he goes does give me some bit of joy, I cannot lie.

Love how most other countries are willing to tell the truth. Not NBC. The "n" in that acronym must be for "Russia."

Love watching these two eat shit over and over again in every language. I hope they're miserable. I hope they're screaming inside.
J.D. and Usha? They're obviously both clueless and self-hating. Their self-hatred is merited.

YES!!!
Hard pass on the slavery but what’s this about cocaine?

Thanks, J Divan, for upholding the Ugly American reputation.
It'd be nice to go back to a time when half of America didn't know who the Vice President was.
Republicans are actually "proud" of their ignorance -- modeled for them by Reagan and then every Republican leader since.
"Education creates liberals" said GOP Senator Rick Santorum.
Didn’t he also say “Smart people will never vote for us”?
What a putz.
What makes you think that's changed?
Most Americans don't know what the three branches of government are.
Fifty-four percent read at sixth-grade level or below.
American exceptionalism at its finest.
"Half of all Americans never read a newspaper. Half of all Americans never vote. One hopes it is the same half."

There's no accounting for taste or dollar value in this case....

oddly I had no idea the Olympics was still a thing...
I was just thinking about Elvis's classic song, "Hound Dog" (and yes, I know it's a cover). There are basically two verses:
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, cryin' all the time...
and
When they said you was high class, well, that was just a lie...
Change "cryin'" to "whinin'", and who does this lyric describe to a T?
I'm sorry... ever since reading the headline... a song got stuck in my mind. See if you can identify it:
"JD and Usha flew off to Italy
and got their asses booed for all the world to see,
They laughed and thought that it was all absurd,
The kin folk yelled “get your asses out of here!
go back to the home to that giant floating turd!”
Florida, that is.
Reptiles for sure.
Back to your swamps and the babbling hoard. "

I had a couple from 2016 that never got past the development stage
(He’s) Trump
Trump sat alone in a penthouse suite
Thinking being president would probably be neat
How do you make a presidential
Resume with his particular credentials?
He's Trump, he's Trump
He's kinda lame
He's Trump, he's Trump, he's Trump
He's got no shame
Trump took the platform of the GOP
Xenophobia, racism and misogyny
Cranked up the volume and tore off the knob
That's really all you need when you're playing to a mob
He's Trump, he's Trump
He's all hot air
He's Trump, he's Trump, he's Trump
There's nothing there
Goose stepped his way through the primary
Just like that other guy in 1933
His whole campaign is a publicity stunt
Anyone with half a brain can see he's just ... wherever
He's Trump, he's Trump
He's got no plan
He's Trump, he's Trump, he's Trump
Backed by the Klan
Is this Trump out of his head
I think so
Is this Trump out of his head
I think so
Is this Trump out of his head

CHORUS
Hey! Mr Tangerine Man, get off my TV
I can't sleep now never knowing what you're gonna do
Hey! Mr Tangerine Man, when the people see
Only Putin’s Twitter robots will come followin' you
Though I know the Evil Empire gives you your commands
Democracy be damned
Put us in the tiny hands of one so demential
Your ignorance amazes me, each time I see you tweet
With such overt conceit
And the Fox news pundits bleat "how presidential!"
CHORUS
Take the lot of your kind on your leaky sinking ship
Your codefendants flip, you just can't get a grip
And all those that you've pink slipped
Wait only for their turn to be testifyin'
You really should go anywhere, you really ought to fade
Into the circus parade, who sends a rushing bus your way
Promise us you'll go under it
CHORUS
Florida?
"Hell, that is. Cesspools. Goober bars."
Beverly Hillbillies?
Mierde Lardo Hillbillies?
The Pukes of Hazard?
Winner Winner! Chicken Dinner!
