Mere hours after Donald Trump ordered strikes on Iran’s nuclear program last June, his vice president appeared on two separate Sunday shows to hail the success of the mission. JD Vance was so effusive that he used the word “incredible” or “incredibly” four times in less than one minute.

Within hours of Trump’s operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in January, Vance was on X posting a combative defense of the legality of the operation.

It’s now been two weeks since Trump launched a war with Iran, and Vance has yet to offer anything like these public votes of confidence.

    Its because this cunt wwants the 2028 ticket and he knows its an insanely unpopular war. But since being a Republican requires one to cut off their own balls and hand them to Trump, he can’t outright oppose it. He has to stay silent until Trump croaks.

    For that matter, the ~30% of Americans who support the war support it solely because Trump started it. The moment that pedophile dies, support will drop to single digits and blame will be thrown to everyone but Trump.

      This is so very well said. The Republicans are all nutless wonders. It’s in their emotional propensity for Right Wing Authoritarianism (RWA) to line up behind someone like PEDOnald.

      I despise how correct this is. Nothing can ever be his fault no matter how directly responsible he is.
