Veep Vance moved to undisclosed location after being heckled by protesters in Vermont; "Go ski in Russia"

[ozso]

Because the Pres and VP are in thrall to Russia? I dont think so.

They're saying "go ski in Russia" so I'm saying go move to Ukraine, since they hate the US administration so much. Like with Kim Jung Un, if Trump is amicable or aggressive towards Putin, they'll complain and vilify either way. And since they hate Trump and like Zelenskyy, they should move to Ukraine. Seeing as how many of them said they're going to leave the US, I say bon voyage.

lol, this must be that old-fashioned masculinity that Vance goes on about. Being confronted with protesters apparently now constitutes being “endangered.” I’m so glad we have the New Right to show us betas what it’s like to be a manly man.

If he didn’t wish to be hounded by the media or protested from things that he says/does, then he shouldn’t have taken the job.
If he didn’t know that this was “part of the gig”, then he’s clearly not suited to be a politician.
Withdrawn.

 

[Pommer]

His family, not him. Only an idiot would expose his family to such.

Suddenly families being able to travel together is important?
The wife/kids get there @2:00 he arrives two hours later, the horrors!

Where are you getting that from?

It’s a rookie move.

I didn't see any quotes from Vance in the article. Did I miss something? I haven't seen where Vance said anything about this

Did Vance make any comments about this incident or are you just attributing my post to him?

Ha ha ha - that's awesome. And they dish out the term "snowflakes!"

But now the supposedly REAL men are back in office - we see them saying "You're not a nice person! You haven't thanked us once!"
Waaaa! What cry babies? See - in their alternative universe what Zelensky should have said is:-

"THANK YOU so much Mr President for betraying my country!​

THANK YOU for guaranteeing peace RIGHT NOW with Putin - for the 'mere' compromise of 20% of my country!​

THANK YOU for kowtowing to the enemy!​

THANK YOU for siding with a dictator and letting Putin win!​

THANK YOU for solving this with the 'mere' cost of HALF our mineral wealth going to our new overlords - YOU!​

What a deal!​

I never imagined this day!"​

Either did the rest of the world!

For those Americans who have forgotten how real Statesmen behave - this is how to greet a democratic friend.
He's off to meet the King tomorrow.

Note:

1. friendly smiles,
2. pledges of support to a democratic friend,
3. no petty high school dig at his war-time attire,
4. adult behaviour,
5. people who know how to speak the language without Trump-like word salads,
6. No petty tanty's
7. No one saying 'raw earths' when they mean rare earths
8. All betraying the fact that some of these people have actually read a book or 2 in their adult lives!
9. No HINT of a used car salesman pushing an old bomb on a reluctant customer,
10. No HINT of the used car salesman then having a petty meltdown when the shocking 'deal' is rejected!

But other than all that - everything Trump did was fine!

Amended, thanks.

”The protesters carried signs calling Vance "Nazi scum," accusing him of being a "traitor" and telling him to "go ski in Russia."
I wouldn’t feel safe there

Acceptable speech:

The tolerant left in action

Protesting a policy is not intolerance. Otherwise the multiple protest against Obamacare were intolerance too. Or the protest against LGBTQ legislation, or any protest for that mattter. Showing up at a townhall meeting would be "intolerance".
Ah, I forgot. It is always right if my side does it and always wrong when the other side does it.

 

[ozso]

So a mob gets a pass for trying to hound someone's wife and small children, and the VP gets a fail for wanting to keep his wife and kids away from them.

Sheer logic at work.

The language currently employed by the right will be used for curtailing freedom of assembly and political demonstrations.

Ah yes, I think we're going to see the return of "freedom zones" any day now.

Yeah the freedom of a mob to hassle a woman and small children is in danger.

 

[Nithavela]

Of course. It's not a protest, it's a mob, and they are not expressing a political viewpoint, they are endangering children.

Why aren't they in prison already? Won't nobody think of the children?!

Stalking Vance to a ski resort where they know his wife and small children are with him, can't realistically be called innocuous no matter how much the left tries. And the more they try the more absurd it becomes.

If the same thing happened with Obama and his wife and children when they were little, do you really honestly think the left would've been okay with it?

Where was the outrage from the right when an armed mob citizizens exercising their Second Amendment Right stormed the State House of Michigan?

waving placards with slogans is a threat, showing up armed, masked and in (fake) militayr fatigue is fine.

 

[durangodawood]

In the USA when leaders show signs of siding with tyranny and against liberty, they ought to expect a little push back.

Actually I don't know why I asked that, because the big deal seems to be more over Vance wanting to ditch them.

However the fist line of the first article is:

"The serenity of President Barack Obama's Hawaiian vacation was rattled"
