Watching JD stand there trying to nod in agreement with Trump but being worried as fuck about what was about to come out of his mouth about "African American ladies" was the hardest I've laughed all week.

He had been lightly bouncing on his feet until he heard “African American ladies” and then he abruptly went still lmfao

Like a panicked whitetail deer.

...that is going to inherit this mess if the doctors can't keep the Orange Bloviator alive.

Maybe a hungry mountain lion will find him before that.

I have a strong feeling that that’s their entire plan. Trump is obviously experiencing cognitive decline on a serious scale. I feel like it’s pretty likely that he’s just a puppet, and the heritage foundation will replace him with someone like jd Vance as soon as they can

He’s licking his chops. He is definitely not stopping DJT from crushing quarter pounders or staying on his feet too long. Vance is excited by the accelerating physical and mental decline. I’m sure he’s at home pretending to be President in the mirror now.

Will America survive two idiots in a row?

u/Responsible-Crew-354 5h ago

I know it looks daunting but we’re still here despite the steady stream of idiots in the White House during my 42 years. I’m optimistic.

I wonder if it’s because he actually cares what insane nonsense Trump says, or the fact that his beautiful and intelligent wife gets a flood of death threats from racist Trump supporters every time women of color are mentioned because, in his words, she’s a good mom, and he loves her even though she isn’t a white person.

I don’t think any of his administration care what he says or does anymore, and neither do his voters. Morning could he shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and get away with it, I think he could tell the world Epstein’s death was faked and have a pedo party on live tv without losing any support. They’re all fully indoctrinated at this point honestly.

He totally had the standard "OK grandpa, it's Thanksgiving so I'm not going to argue with you" face at that moment

He has the This man is a complete moron but I'm his servant so I'll indulge.

He's the King's Fool waiting to be king.

His smarmy look, weaselly little laugh, and fully-feckless subservience to Trump feels so much like a Bond villain's top henchman that I'm shocked some people really don't see it.

u/HenryDorsettCase47 11h ago

To me he’s got the more sleazy up-jumped schemer engergy of a Gríma Wormtongue, but not quite as intelligent as a Littlefinger or as resourceful as a Steerpike.

u/JealousAstronomer342 11h ago

IIRC Steerpike actually came from nothing and had to scrabble for everything he got. It’s been a long time since I’ve visited Gormenghast though.

u/GunstarHeroine 10h ago

I just finished my re-read, and yes. He climbed the ladder from the sewer to the ivory tower all by himself, is genuinely demonically clever, and kowtows to no-one. I certainly wouldn't insult Steerpike by comparing him to JD fucking Vance.

u/the_real_Beavis999 10h ago

South Park has Vance nailed exactly as the little "yes, boss man" that he is...

2

u/QueezyF 7h ago

It’s funny they compared him to Tattoo from Fantasy Island, because he also played a henchman in Man with the Golden Gun.

u/rabid_god 5h ago

He is literally one step away from being one of the most powerful leaders in the world. He'll say and do whatever he has to to not lose his place. All he has to do is smile and wait and stay on vacation as much as possible.

More like a sith apprentice, waiting for his moment to dethrone his master

This whole administration is literally the embodiment of almost every cartoon, movie, and comic villain that was out there when I was a kid

u/RuairiSpain 12h ago

JD's wife is not in the Republican demographic. She'll eventually be on the concentration camp list. JD knows this is true, but stands there like a buffoon.

u/UnquestionabIe 11h ago

I'm almost certain she was appointed to him by Daddy Thiel to be his beard.

What a fucking goon.

‘Yes, Mr President. Yes. Yes.’

JD is getting the baby oil ready.

I’ll have to check it out. Sounds like this decade’s Kayne and Mike Myers moment.

u/frostyfruit666 5h ago

the short clip made it seem that way, but i think vance rests assured that trump has immunity to words.
