Good headline. Projection is a favourite rhetorical trope of the fascists.

Every accusation is a confession.

[–] rayyy@piefed.social 3 points 5 months ago

BINGO! That is the whole Republican story in a nutshell.

Does anyone have a more punchable face than vance?

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 38 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Arguably, all of Musk's DOGE bros, Musk himself, and Nigel Farage.

Edit: And, of course, Scott Bessent.

Charlie Kirk did, may he rest in turmoil.

Nah, too small to make a good target.

(Edit: for punching, at least)

Come on guys he's the type of person to wake up everyone in the house to announce they are going to bed

Vance needs to fuck off. Sofa shagging cunt

[–] earlstilt@feddit.uk 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Bowman, his name is Bowman - he can’t even be honest about that

[–] Greyghoster@aussie.zone 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

So he is effectively JD Vance nee Bowman.

A gender-affirming name change, perhaps.

Projection, like always. I do like the Guardian headline though, reveals that fact without the need of openly stating it.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 20 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Remember when this loser cried about being fact checked during a debate?

The Republican party can never be trusted again. They are America's enemy.

[–] gergolippai@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago

...while he's in Hungary, actively interfering.

also, Vance, the word you're looking for is "kanapé".

[–] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I watched John Olivers newest episode on Hungary yesterday.

The US and Hungary are doing the same things. The US wants to follow Hungary's example.

Its fucking wild.

Somedays, I think, the US will revolt and overcome this shit show, other times I think, dear speghetti monster, we are destined to suffer.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

We're on a fast track to becoming a crossover between North Korea, Russia, and Hungary.

Probably happen within the next decade or so unless we do something about it.

It can happen here. And it is.

[–] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

it is happening here. Ten years? Bet 5 or less.

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 1 points 5 months ago

polymarket, here we come!

"Stop interfering with my interference!"

The fucking gall!

[–] drolex@sopuli.xyz 4 points 5 months ago

If you average the faces of Orban and Vance you get the right amount of chin, the right amount of forehead, but way too much cheek material

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I hear Hungary has some nice furniture.

[–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago

too minimal. Hungarian furniture is thicc and juicy.

#Add seems I was wrong. very weird, it's same newsoutlet and title. But different story & journalist. my bad

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Same headline, but not the same journalist and not the same story.
IDK why they would post 2 stories with the same headline.

[–] HowRu68@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

That is weird., to say the least. ok my bad, but also very strange .. maybe it was updated idk.

corrected my comment. tnx

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Yes it is weird? I can perfectly understand how one can make that mistake, even as they are now.
