checking in from J.D. Vance’s hometown. fucker has no connection to reality. city council logs from early 2025 show his mom, of Hillbilly Elegy fame, demanding they do some shit to acknowledge the boy and his little adventures in governance.
He must have left it on the couch after the Shady Vance rendezvous
Seen at a military base in Greenland.
The poor man’s Kobra Kai.
Backdrop of military folk because:
- They have to follow orders, no matter how asinine
- Because of The Implication
- Nobody from Greenland would stand behind this clown
They chose the dorkiest looking dudes too
Backdrop of military folk also because this press conference (to the several embedded press people they dragged along for the event) was held at the US military base on Greenland - because they were not invited to visit any other part of Greenland.
So, they had literally nobody else who could be in the background of the shot except reporters and US base personnel.
Both Denmark and Greenland governments responded by saying they view this as an escalation and that Vance had better watch his tone. I think they should start talking about cancelling the renewal date of the land lease for the US base (doesn’t matter if the date is far in the future, just telling them they’re risking expulsion is enough).

Hi erm…guys…semper fi right?….erm…can you stand behind? Yeah just like behind yeah…whatever makes sense. How long you been here?
Also, he is too cowardly to actually say this in Nuuk and has to say it at Pituffik Space Base 1000+ miles away, like the couch defiler he is.
The wide shot is also hilarious:
Why isn’t jd Vance wearing a suit?? Did he even say thanks??
The soldiers look like children who would rather be in gym class instead of going to the school assembly XD
Did he say thank you even once?
He’s nor even wearing a suit.
Didn’t Republicans go all ape-shit, saying Zelensky was disrespectful for not wearing a suit a couple of weeks ago? Are they deliberately disrespecting Greenland?
Yes & yes!!
I feel like he’s trying to pull off the Zelensky look.
They are going to do this for real. I hope europe shows some balls this time because if not we are on a very fast lane and there are no exits before we reach war.
The suit stuff aside, what’s with his weird grammar? “You have not done a good job by the people in Greenland.” In this sort of sentence, “for” sounds much more natural than “by”. And I think the common phrase that “Person A hasn’t done right by Person B,” is more of an exception.
But assuming he did mean it that way, then he’s speaking as if the people of Greenland feel wronged by Denmark, but they don’t.
In fact, Americans are much more disappointed with Trump and Vance than Greenlanders are disappointed with Denmark. If disapproval rating was the important thing, then Denmark would be acquiring the United States.
He speaks like someone trying to sound more important than his ideas are.
I am not a native English speaker but: “do right by” is a construction meaning to treat fairly. I assume that’s what he wanted to say.
Also he is talking out of his ass. They couldn’t find a single person willing to vouch for him and his wife when they wanted to visit. From tens of thousands of people living there they couldn’t find a single person. Greenlanders don’t like them.
Yes, I specifically mentioned that “do right by” was an exception, and was likely what confused his grammar.
Nah, shitty grammar works wonders with his voter base. They feel the kinship…
Because he’s an idiot mouthpiece with no independent thought
The country disappearing its own citizens claims another country isn’t protecting its own
How quaint
disappearingKIDNAPPING.
It’s kidnapping. Or abduction.Don’t kidnappers usually try to return the kidnapped in exchange for something? I think disappearing is an apt description.
I’ve never viewed “disappearing” as a euphemism.
Horses for courses, I suppose.
I feel that it’s downplaying the seriousness of what is happening to these people a bit.
To me the statement “US Government Disappears Student” is not as worrying as “US Government Abducts Student”Well, the reason I don’t view it as a euphemism is because it’s typically associated with totalitarian regimes. The government “disappears” people. See here,
to cause (someone or something) to disappear:
a: to abduct and kill or imprison (someone, such as a political dissident) while withholding information about the person’s fate
Her son was disappeared during Argentina’s so-called ‘Dirty War.’— Associated Press
“Disappearing” someone carries more weight than “abducting” someone.
And while PP now denies it, he IS on board with the filth and hate enveloping the U.S. VOTE in the most important election of our lifetime. Do not be complacent as the population to the south of us were in their last election! Even their people are warning us.
Alberta : I chose to ignore that
Then choose to ignore your healthcare, free speech, and education. And be drowned in lack of critical thinking. You amaze me. You call everyone sheep. And yet you deny science. You deny inoculations that saved children from polio, small pox, and measles. And due to people refusing measles vaccines—here we are again!
… not sure if you’re mad at me or Alberta.
I apologise if I misunderstood your post. As you can tell, I’m a very passionate Canadian. (hence the spelling of “apologise”)
wHeREz HiS sUiT
SHUT YOUR FUCKIN MOUTH, SMALL MAN.
where is his suit? I can’t take him seriously as a politician without a suit. otherwise he’s just a suitless jackass.
I don’t think a suit is going to make him any less of a jackass. He’ll just be a jackass in a suit.
I can’t get over the toddler face he has. It’s so fitting for his personality.
Not doing enough to keep Greenland safe ? … but Greenland is safe 😅 so by definition, they are.
Nice country you have here… a real shame if something were to happen to it!
That’s my read on the situation!
Not doing enough to keep it safe (from invasion). Here, we’re going to annexe Greenland to prove our point.
