I agree!! Vance is the BEST V.P. in my lifetime...
Agreed. It was quite ‘Trumpian’.
It ruffled the EU folks, they really don’t understand what ‘free speech’ really is.
Agree. All the VP’s that I recall were basically robots.
I appreciate it.
Fight, Fight, Fight
In any little way you can
Eurokrauts: “Are we the baddies?”
Vance: “Yes.”
I was imagining the listeners, many of whom are of the elite political class which has accelerated the mess in Europe. Hurrah for Vice-President Vance.
“One of the best speeches from any US Vice President.”
Every time he speaks, it’s just about perfect. Very statesmanlike, unapologetically America first. Bold.
He’s got Trump’s trust, and couldn’t be doing a better job representing him.
Hegseth has been amazing, too.
The adults...
"If you're democracy can be destroyed with a few hundred thousand dollars of digital advertising from a foreign country, then it wasn't very strong to begin with."
your your your your
No way to deny it, he is a very good speaker. Always liked how well he speaks...
The speech he gave in France re AI was incredible!
Mostly good stuff from VP Vance. But, some serious holes, too:
For example: The populists JD wants European leaders to listen to are generally the most opposed to moving funding to defense budgets. How to resolve this?
No problem with that here. (I’m using Brave browser.)
You and JD are discounting the multiplier effect. That effect even has President Trump saying we’ve spent $300 billion on Ukraine. We have not: The actual Appropriations and other measures, starting in 2022, add up to ~$184 billion, and of that, as of 9/30/2024, ~$84 billion had actually been disbursed.

If you don’t believe the Inspector General, look up the Appropriations bills. If you don’t believe the Congressional Record, then, sorry, you are well past being a reasonable person and there is no point in discussion. (Actually, I think you are a reasonable person, but I accept that I may be wrong. Heheh.)
President Trump repeating this “inaccuracy” has no effect? Are you kidding?
The money quote? In fact, the democracy in Romania is NOT very strong. That is precisely the point. NO outside advertising can be tolerated.
As for the bulk of the speech, which was about repressive actions in Europe, JD is correct.
Maybe we should have fast track immigration for people like that guy who prayed outside the abortion clinic?
I really like JD Vance. I hope he stays very active so he will be the favorite for 2028.
