It’s odd Vance is trolling on gratitude because I’ve noted before his complete lack of gratitude to anyone who helps him.
Extended family takes him in… he writes book about what losers they are.
Mentored at Yale? Take it down.
Ohio makes him senator? Suckers

King Charles charges Coastal Wind Farms hundreds of millions of pounds a year to rent worthless sea bed because he 'owns the sea'.
This money is added straight onto your energy bills, then sent straight to him, and he pays no tax on it.

A gobsmacking story. Water companies let toxic waste disposers, for cash, dump their loads into sewage farms. The sewage sludge is then spread, untested, on farmland, potentially poisoning vast areas, entire ecosystems and the people (you and me) eating the food.

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.
