Here’s an AP source if you prefer not to click the daily beast.
“I just wanted to check out my future plane… I also wanted to go say hello to the vice president and ask her why she refuse to answer questions from the media,” Vance said, jabbing at Harris.
W E I R D GUY
It’s not unheard of during a general election campaign for opposing candidates to cross paths as they travel, especially given the compressed map that limits much of the campaign activity to a relative few states that will determine the Electoral College winner.
But also, what exactly is the AP doing here? The Trump campaign purposefully scheduled JD Vance to follow Harris to all these places after she released her schedule. They’re not just “crossing paths as they travel,” he’s literally following her
PS What is Trump even doing this week? Is Vance campaigning alone now?
If you’re poor, or non-white, they call that “stalking”
The creeps are fucking creepy.
Trump is too old to keep up with Kamala’s schedule. And he hates the photos of the same venue really full for Kamala and half full for him, so he’s avoiding the comparison like he’s avoiding the debate. He hates being seen to lose. He’s the world’s sorest loser.
That poor guy…why schedule the scrub newbie to go on stage after the major blowout headliner? Must be Vance’s punishment for sucking. Gonna be fun when Kamala starts posting up the comparison of each event he follows to hers. HAHAHAHA
and yeah, I get trump’s “strategy”, but he is using checkers in a chess game and expecting the same plays to work.
Uncreative, boring, poorly thought out. Weird ancient strats in a modern battlefield. Weak.
It’s not so much a strategy as being unable to keep up with Kamala physically or in crowd sizes.
So many couches and so little time
Vance, continuing his jocular jabbing, said he’d be more than willing to debate Harris on Aug. 13 “if she’d like to do a debate with me.” That was a matchup scheduled before Biden stepped down, meaning it would have put Vance and Harris on the same stage as vice presidential rivals.
Actually, I think it would be good to change the standard routine of having the VP candidates debate each other, to having them debate the opposing presidential candidates. Then we’d get to see the top-ticket candidates debate two opponents each, instead of just each other.
She should challenge him to show up in September to NBC
They should set up debate podiums at all these places he’s following her and have her stand there, ready to debate. Then we can watch him turn as chicken shit as Trump and refuse.
The first question she should ask him would be "why am I debating you and not mister “any time, any place”?
Much better source without a bullshit headline. Thank you.
🙏
Vance, continuing his jocular jabbing
Is that some new type of sectional I’ve never heard of?
You keep him the hell away from my new Ashley Jocular.
Thanks.
While the daily beast is a fun read, it’s hard to make out where they exaggerate and dramatify things
Does…he realize she’s the current Vice President and that’s an Air Force plane? Dude rolls up on it like he’s about to do a panty raid.
Or does he realize it, and just have that little respect for the office he’s running for and its current occupant?
Please let him find out how quickly he can placed on a no fly list.
It’s a photo op, he had no direct intention to board and was likely surprised he made it as far as he did.
He wanted a photo op of himself looking impotent and awkward? Maybe he’s as weird as they say.
Some people are into humiliation, don’t kinkshame.
Yeah, we draw the line at couches.
What if the couch consented?
I would have preferred he got a little further and got tackled from behind the knees.
Dude doesn’t realize that most of his toe jam comes from his socks, this is a completely fabricated individual with zero understanding of the real world
Doesn’t he get a secret service detail since he’s VP candidate? I image some pretty easy, but unusual, phone calls were made
What the fuck is wrong with that guy
He fucks couches.
While searching for Dolphin porn fetishes.
That’s sick and gross and weird. What kind of websites have those type of videos and/or pics? What are the addresses to those sites? I want to make sure I never click on them.
Bruh
I got the same!
What would have triggered it? Surely Lemmy is not big enough that a comment with 6 upvotes can DDOS a website.
Is it because we’re outside the US?
Probably likely

Nope that doesn’t work either
He’s weird.
He’s a sad weirdo who is jealous of the free time and money being childless allows.
Who also hates his children.
Why else would he stay silent when Dementia Donny was trying to mock a biracial woman?
He’s weird
So the party with a history of inciting vigilante violence storms a VPs airplane and isn’t shot dead by secret service.
Is there an issue with the secret service actually doing their job, or do they just give Republicans a pass?
So the party with a history of inciting vigilante violence storms a VPs airplane and isn’t shot dead by secret service.
as a vp candidate from a major party, vance also gets secret service protection
So… secret service vs secret service shootout? Maybe it happened and it was so secret no-one knows about it!
My dad knows a guy who got shot. Totally. He works with him over at that place where the cheese is made. I mean beer. They make all the beer together and they’re good friends and I know him too. My dad can beat up your dad.
They probably view Vance less as a threat and more as an awkward and socially oblivious guy
If they were tasked with protecting a furniture outlet, on the other hand…
J.D. Vance is a U.S. Senator. The Secret Service killing him would be the opposite of doing their job…
What if they thought they smelled fentanyl or heard an acorn drop?
If they thought they smelled fentanyl, they would have a seizure and pass out. Fentanyl doesn’t affect cops the way it affects human beings.
Killing and barring entrance are very different. Security clearances and need are big factors
Why would the secret service be guarding an empty plane?
To prevent things like bombs being planted?
TBF its the same SS that thought a shooter on a rooftop overlooking a candidate was no issue
I mean, I’d have slacked off too
Vance is bombing big time.
Isn’t that what regular security is for?
Secret Service is regular security for a vice president.
I suppose as a non American my idea of what the secret service actually is / does may be a little skewed by Hollywood
The secret service exists to prevent counterfeiting US money, as a side job they also protect a few people in government.
It’s basically government security for the president and vice president as well as all former ones because we have a long history of shooting our presidents. They also investigate counterfeiting which was their original job, they just happened to be formed shortly before the first successful presidential assassination
