JD Vance briskly marched up to Air Force 2, Kamala Harris’ plane, planning to give political reporters a show as he confronted the vice president uninvited on Wednesday. His power-play dreams, like most of his chaotic veep run, were immediately thwarted once he realized Harris was not present. “I just wanted to check out my future plane,” Vance told campaign reporters gathered on the tarmac in Wisconsin.

America being the worldwide laughingstock when it comes to politics has lost it’s charm. The last few years Idiocracy has become the better alternative.

The only people that think this are people obsessed with American media.

David Cameron has some association with a pig.

Modi has said some bizarre things about being a demigod.

Macron lectured a kid for saying “How’s it going Manu?” instead of “How’s to going, Mr. President”

Germany has a long history of very dumb policies, not unique to any specific politician. Such as banning protestors from chanting in any language other than English or German.

And many other things. Politics have dumb things and dumb people everywhere*- it’s not uniquely American. American politics are just the most widely publicized internationally.

Of course the party he’s in is the FDP (libertarians)
