JD Vance attempted a charm offensive on Tuesday, and failed with the charm while succeeding in being offensive.

It happened during an announcement that former Donald Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani’s son, Andrew Giuliani, would be leading a task force for the 2026 World Cup, which will take place in the United States, Canada and Mexico next year.

Rather than stoke excitement for a global event that could be a tourism cash cow for North America, Vance decided to take a different approach — and joked about deporting the potential thousands of tourists visiting the U.S. for the occasion.

        Their end game is becoming another Russia. One where everyone is kept dirt poor and there’s a massive transfer of wealth to the the top 0.01%

      It makes more sense if you think only in things, not processes. You notice how things are not great. Some are good, but a lot are bad. So, how do things be good? Get rid of the bad! When all bad is gone, everything will be good, definitionally!
