NASA astronauts Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Suni Williams have successfully returned to Earth, but have been told they will need to say ‘thank you’ to the new President and Vice President before they will be released from their capsule.

As Williams opened the door to the space capsule in waters off Florida, she was surprised to see JD Vance standing on a boat nearby. “Have you said thank you to me once in this entire mission?” he said to a visibly confused Williams.

I just got a flashback to that scene of Kelsey Grammer (in the show Boss) making some young politician beg him on his fucking knees... These days I have a feeling this might not be so far from the truth, with some people.

Jesus Fucking Christ.
