The worst and most stupid bit is this:
Speaking to crowds on Wednesday, vice president JD Vance said US allies are “suffering from this, frankly, more than we are.”
He claimed this was because they had “focused on a lot of green energy scams and they’re hurting a lot more than we are.”
Vance continued:"As much as we’ve got to focus on getting these gas prices down, the reality is overseas they’re feeling it far worse than we did because we’ve taken the steps to protect our energy economy.
The US has allies??
Oil / Gas is a global commodity, shipped around the world on tankers. If prices are higher in France, someone will take cheaper oil/gas from the US and ship it to France where they can make more money.
In the short term, maybe the US suffers less. But, in the longer term prices well even out as people will sell wherever they can get the highest profits.
I’m pretty sure he thinks allies of the US are beta males that follow the US alpha male…
Stupid toxic masculinity and their constant attempts to cover up their weakness and insecurities by pretending they are ‘real men’. And ‘real men’ don’t have empathy. So they behave like self serving pricks.
Why do people vote baby brained bullies into positions of power?
I’m pretty sure he thinks allies of the US are beta males that follow the US alpha male…
Vance said Trump was “America’s Hitler”. Before Vance realized that he could get power by supporting Trump.
You seem to be using “he thinks” in the sense “Vance genuinely believes”. I am not convinced Vance believes anything, his actions look like pure opportunism.
Really Just Dumb? The Allies have something called public transportation and high-speed rail. You fucking moron, you could have used the $200 billion to upgrade the entire Northeast Corridor and turned it into a true high-speed rail system and that is just for starters. In the meantime, piss off and take your AmeriKa Last with you.
Not only that, but the US can actually bludgeon the blow thanks to its economic advantages via so many foreign investors using its bond markets. An advantage that him and his team are destroying. Remember, they got “yippy” per Trump?
Edit: fucking Apple devices lagging after the last update, which for some reason completely wrecked typing and autocorrect.
Why don’t you go outside and couch yourself, Vance
That’s what allies usually look for, suffering.
I cannot even begin to parse how he thought any of those words were a good idea, let alone in that order.
This is genuinely one of the dumbest things I have ever heard a human being say. Not only is it ludicrously, hilariously wrong, but even if it wasn’t, why would that be a good thing? Why would you want to proudly declare how much you fucked over your allies?! Does he know what the word “ally” means? Do any of them know?
Who is his target audience with this speech and why would this impress them?
does he also have a brainworm now or is he just as dumb? Can he explain like in what correlation does the buildout of greenenergy make one more dependent on oil?
I can only assume the brain worms are being handed out like it’s season five of the Strain.
Because you need fossil fuels as feedstocks for everything material and physical? How do you fertilize crops with electricity?
You realize please smart guy. Explain how you fertilize them with oil.
That’s actually how we get a fair bit of artificial fertilizer. With petroleum and natural gas byproducts.

That being said, organic fertilizers aren’t gone, it’s just more expensive and less damaging to the environment in the long term
JFC are you truly this pig ignorant about how the world works? Do you think the grocery store is a Star Trek replicator?
Why do you think there are EIGHT BILLION people NOW when we had renewable wind and solar since the ancient Egyptians?

UFOs or massive MASSIVE amounts of fossil fuel inputs??

INSANE photo yet somehow relevant
I don’t know why the tattoo on his chin reads as ASS
Yes because focusing on green energy surely makes it worse… Fuck you Vance
If by “this” he means the Trump Administration; then YES we are suffering worse than they are. So tired of their president and the global geopolitical/economic harm he has done.
“allies”
Are you Hillbilly Ugly? Try Maybelline.
What does it help him when others suffer more? So USA is still suffering, but less? Great for them…
That’s the Republican’s whole shtick “Vote for us, we’ll make those people you don’t like hurt worse than we make you hurt”
That’s religions ultimate schtick: Suffering with the reward after you die. Enough zealots and fanatics and you can commit the worst atrocities the world has ever seen.
Yep it’s always the same story, accept your shitty situation while we sit atop gold thrones and super yachts. You’ll be reward in the next life, we promise 🙄
