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

Every accusation is a confession.

[–] rayyy@piefed.social 3 points 1 month 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 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

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

Edit: And, of course, Scott Bessent.

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Get Boris on that list

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Greyghoster@aussie.zone 6 points 1 month 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 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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 1 month ago

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

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

[–] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

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

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 month ago

polymarket, here we come!

The fucking gall!

[–] drolex@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 month 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 1 month ago (1 children)

I hear Hungary has some nice furniture.

[–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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 1 month ago

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