Like Pete Hegseth, JD Vance is a small man.
The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.

Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

I know we’re resigned after so many years of it but for real, social media giving high-ranking elected government officials the ability to harass individual private citizens by name for an audience of millions as a recreational pastime is actually Caligula shit if you think about it

JD Vance’s cousin Nate Vance on why the Vice President is misguided on Russia: I personally witnessed them shooting their own troops… it’s has happened quite a bit. They are not our allies and they never will be.

John Hogan shat the bed before he officially said he's a candidate to be Premier.

But everyone knows he's Furey 2, the Newfie Liberals next Carney.

Not a good start.

Incredible misunderstanding by Joshi of plain English.
Mandelson breaking from UK/Fr policy. Says not just Ukr & Eur shd give "unequivocal backing" to Trump plans but also both should back unilateral ceasefire. THEN as part of "unfolding plan...have to consider" mil deployment. This is exactly sequencing Zel wants to avoid abcnews.go.com/Politics/wee...

Misreading English is obviously easy.

Politics is always fun, even when it seems like it isn;t.

Last week there was lots of fun in NL politics.

And we can also give you a better idea of who is likely to the 40th Prime Minister of NL.

Land that was worth $71,000 an acre in 2025 dollars just got handed to a politically-connected company for a mere $5,500 an acre.

And the government Team Furey is in another patronage scandal only four months after the last one and with an election looming.
