They really shouldn't dignify JDDunce with these remarks. First, they're an insult to knobs and clowns everywhere; second, the proper terms for his character, intellect, and knowledge aren't permitted in respectable papers.

Well, when the vice president is a hamster, and the president smells much worse than elderberries...

Zelensky is only "twice the man Vance is?" Bad math. Zelensky is infinitely more the man Vance is because Vance is not fully qualified to be a man (or a human). He has no heart and less brain.

Trump is not capable of being respectful to anyone. Trump loves to triangulate, playing one against the other. JD would witness this and instead of being the victim of Trump's putdowns he is trying to be of value as a flying monkey minion pleasing Trump, and copying Trump. The sad thing is JD has nowhere close the experience with being a laidback evil asshole as Trump so he just comes off as a sniveling, weak wannabe.

The scorn of the Brits, Germans, French is a huge relief for me.

A Leadership of Fools and a Cabinet of Curiosities. And that's being kind to them.

Ta, Marcie. Shady Dunce practices his firehose of lies; it's clear. It was clear at the Walz debate.

I have a lot of professional ties to Western Australia, and spent a week-and-a-day there last month while the unraveling of America's constitutional republic was getting rolling. Roger Cook seems like a decent person, which is more than I can say for anyone in the White House. "Knob" is a charitable appellation for VP Butthair.

"Does that mean dumb like a doorknob, or dumb like a wangledongerdedoo? We do not speak Australian."

Is an Aussie can assure you that it means both

I prefer the Guardian, but the British press never fails to amuse me!

Bowen Yang is a perfect choice to play JD Vance as they're both equally ridiculous when they try to go butch, but at least Yang knows it.
