JD Vance tried to open up his speech about the midterms with a joke and the silence was deafening

I hope he'll stop gaslighting now after that ass whooping.

My 8yo also has a hard time deciphering between what’s a good time to attempt a joke and what’s a good time to be serious.

When I read the text, I thought “this is the first time I think JD is actually funny.” Then I watched the delivery and changed my mind.

This is his main problem. You can’t fix how bad he is at telling jokes. https://t.co/7StaYHReOD

Comparing the president to Ryan Day and himself to Luke Fahey is so much funnier than he realizes https://t.co/IwuRkmW5jp

Someone has to sit him down and explain that he is not funny, he has never been funny, he cannot deliver a punchline to save his life and he absolutely needs to stop trying to https://t.co/m3Gcfb7yGb
