JD Vance tried to find the upside in America’s soaring gas prices and absolutely no-one was buying it
It appears to have fallen to JD Vance to try to persuade Americans that Donald Trump’s war on Iran isn’t the absolute shitshow that everyone knows it is.
Quite apart from all the death and destruction the chaos that Trump has unleashed has also led to soaring gas prices in the US and around the world.
Except Vance tried to find the upside for struggling Americans right now, and it’s fair to say absolutely no-one was buying it.

New dictionary definition of ‘cold comfort’ just dropped!

When was it ever Christian to take any comfort in others’ suffering? Pretty sure my Sunday school teacher said we should help those who are suffering…

No decent human being finds comfort in this. What a horrifyingly repulsive individual. https://t.co/XJ3fhAtdxG

This guy will never be president, he’s so damn stupid. Then again, the current guy isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer either.
