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.

Even if that phrase hadn’t been used ad nauseum already, this would be the right time to use it. This is truly a WTF move.

It’s all about projecting strength, especially towards women, bonus points if they’re not white.

The entirety of conservative politics is narcissists trying to convince morons they embody strength and power…

A weaklings idea of strength.

A peasants idea of wealth.

A losers idea of a playboy.

An idiots idea of a genius.

A cowards idea of a hero.

Remember, there are two kinds of Americans.

  • Democrats: Weed
  • Republicans: Amphetamine or cocaine (depending on income)

You now understand everything about American politics.

Waaait… I am on Adderall for ADHD but also enjoy an herby comedown at the end of the day. So what does that make me? A filthy centrist?! What is this dichotomous drug-fueled political identity crisis I’m experiencing!!!

you can’t get shot for storming the VPs plane?

they just let you on it?

for all the innocuous things you can get shot for, storming the vice President’s plane seems like one you would get shot for.

Presumably, he also has secret service protection, so they knew he was coming. Hilarious they decided not to just tell him she wasn’t there

Oh, got it, thanks.

Not telling him is super funny.

Like the agents around him just giving each other knowing glances every now and then, inwardly giggling at how funny it’s going to be when he rushes into an empty plane.

Having flown out of the airport in question, it only has one gate, it’s pretty tiny. Their planes were probably parked literally right next to each other, so it wasn’t exactly out of his way

It certainly hasa bit of a “Paul Ryan gets soup kitchen employee to let him get pictures taken of him washing already-clean pans and giving a kid a pep talk and pissing off the manager” vibe.
