JD Vance emerges as the public face of the troubled Iran peace deal

GoonerInSoCal60

He’s so happy that we’ve let our standards slide to the point where massive Presidential criminality would be a 12 hour story these days. Good times for JD! Horrible times for America!

What is it exactly that this guy learned at Yale? Wasn't history for sure.

Kevin Mc17

If it happened with Obama it would have takken down the Presidecy. If it happened with Trump CBS wouldn't have covered it.

Aaron Huertas17

Hope you get to write more on this; I've often thought the modern right wing media environment is downstream of conservative funders never wanting one of their presidents held accountable by the press like that again.

Grandma Hot Tub12

JD is an odious, smarmy, soft-handed creep.

Ira 'Bluebeard Homer' Goldman11

PDQ JD VANCE: People working to further President Trump's agenda have dug up lots of dirt on his political enemies by breaking into their doctors' offices and rifling their files. Why am I telling you this? To make the point that it's not really a big deal.

Matthew Brice9

Also reflects the depths of Vance’s corruption. Trump, Vance and rest of grifters sneer at the rule of law. That’s for the little people. They know they will never be held accountable.

JP8

I can’t stop thinking about how much of a damn admission this is from JD Vance.

justbegreene7

I was around for Watergate! People were tired of being lied to! Some things never change

Adam6

Nixon looks better by comparison because today we have a Watergate scandal almost daily. We've moved the goalposts so far the crimes of Nixons day look quaint by comparison.

tracycouch.bsky.social5

I was about seven/eight when my dad came home in an angry meltdown because he had received a call from one of Nixon’s White House henchmen threatening my life & my mother’s b/c my dad was investigating Nixon. I will never forget or forgive that. Nixon was toxic & corrupt. My dad persevered. Yay.

Daphne_du Maurier5

Normalizing criminal behavior from a president . They just don’t stop

Bar0n_theGrey 🐕🎮✊🏾5

He knows what he's doing. He's normalizing/gaslighting us about political criminality.

E Denzer5

He’s basically saying “Watergate was child’s play, we commit more felonies than that before lunch”

John Alton5

JD is right. Trump’s criminality dwarfs Nixon’s. It’s like laughing how Alcindor couldn’t dunk in college.

Jon Frank - GOP Must Cheat/Steal - They Know The Party’s Over5

Unforced stupidity However, it probably sounds deep and profound to MAGA

Bob Morris, MD, PhD4

It also tells you how far we have fallen with this administration

bennync.bsky.social4

its not a misunderstanding.. its a strategic well thought out gaslighting campaign. stop trying make sense of nonsense. this is all deliberate.

Sean Scott4

He says this like Watergate wasn't a bad thing, and seems oblivious to how desensitized we've become to corruption, not to mention the hypocrisy of his party wrapping itself in the mantle of law and order.

David Sansespoir4

It is, however, not a “take.” It is part of a long term messaging strategy. And, since his audience knows nothing, it is also an educational strategy

Saneman4

How the republican party captured the low IQ voter....

JanemNow4

Vance always thinks people are way too stupid to know he’s wrong or lying.

Seems crazy to JD Vance because he can’t imagine laws being applied to the president.

jackiefromtexas3

The idea that anyone takes JD Vance seriously is the real thing that's crazy.

smartymouse.bsky.social3

Oh he understands it alright. He's just telling you that the corporate legacy media is bought and paid for and is trolling them at this point. This is a Yale law school grad and an opportunistic amoral little man who will change his beliefs like her changes his name. A shape-shifting succubus.

paulbuse.bsky.social3

I was in DC when Nixon resigned, & caught the resignation on TV. When the news broke, the media inundated Ford's residence, seeking comment. He looked like hell. In the background, I had an FM radio station on. The FM jock broke in saying, "Did you see that Ford dude, man? Is he on downers, huh?" 🤣

Still Waiting on the Epstein Files3

Because the trump regime would look at nixon and say hold my beer.

Alvin Finkel2

Perhaps Vance is saying Trump has established that daily thuggery is acceptable behaviour for a US president plus willingness of congressional Republicans to accept it. When he thinks of Nixon, also a thug, but restrained compared to Trump, he figures that the guy would be seen a mild thug today.

coalminephoenix.bsky.social2

Let’s get an even worse take—ask him about Agnew. www.rachelmaddow.com/bag-man-by-r...

As a former Archivist at the Nixon Library - I wholeheartedly endorse this.

vfrankensteen2

It's actually Vance coming right out and bragging that MAGA is a criminal conspiracy. You could include this as evidence in a court.

Kris Stern2

Or a failed attempt at revisionist history

Oh mom2

As an older person that lived through administrations starting with Eisenhower, I cannot understand how anyone would be fascinated with Nixon. It is just weird!

A commentary on how corrupt they all are.

BillHallSonora2

I think the goal is to help those who don’t already know history to just agree with this the next time Nixon comes up… which they probably plan to bring up often?

normalleigh53.bsky.social2

No, JD, the idea that Trump's presidency HASN'T been taken down is crazy.

Doctor Wylie2

That chap simply fails to comprehend the situation. The reason Nixon enjoys a resurgence in favor is precisely due to his unscrupulous behavior. Observers are making comparisons between Nixon and Trump.

Grumpifrog2

What's crazy is that Trump and his minions have been able to break almost every rule of government without penalty.

tinybluedrop.bsky.social2

Translation: Nixon was such an amateur!! Trump is SO much better at corruption!

Mark Brandriss2

Vance comes right out and says "Trump is such a flagrantly corrupt crook, he makes Nixon look like an altar boy. Ha ha ha ha ha!"

Ken Goodman - PNW2

It wasn't the crime. It was the cover-up.

The Resistance CO2

I gotta say, I’m not very impressed with Yale!

Jasperino2

I mean he's got a point that corruption is a 12 hour news story these days, but only because another corruption scandal comes along every 12 hours.

LadyJ2

It's really hard to believe that he attended Yale Law School...

It’s telling. It sounds as if what he’s doing is an admission. “With all the crimes we’re committing I can’t believe that Watergate took down a president.”

Who cares about rampant corruption? Right?

A Poor, Lazy, Sexy Fraud.2

Right, it’s deliberate. He does all of this purposefully, willfully, etc.

David Zack2

Definitely! But in a way, it also kinda makes sense that he'd think Watergate was small potatoes. Compared to what they do every damn day, it probably is...

Jump5tart2

JD shrugging off a politically motivated break in as just another Tuesday tells you all you need to know about their Nov. plans. If they aren’t removed and prosecuted democracy is as good as dead.

DDrae🇨🇦2

He’s such a Billy Bob boot straps guy. The most awkward person around. He’s just really not human

Steve Shepard2

I think it is intentional--an attempt to move the needle. They've *already* committed Watergate-level crimes and will be trying to make them 12-hour stories when they come to light.

Jeff Norman2

Indeed there is a parallel, Lord Fuquedivan: both Nixon and Trump blatantly violated the law. The difference is, Nixon's Republicans were ashamed enough that they would have impeached him if he hadn't resigned. Today's Republicans are too busy licking Trump's balls to care.

Bob2

RepubliCONS committing Felonies is not a big deal to RepubliCONS Committing Felonies

Dan DeFreest2

He's sitting in the Nixon Library and playing the same game that he plays with Trump in the situation room. In a sense, he's correct because Trump has succeeded at normalizing corruption.

mungonna8.bsky.social2

Having lived thru Nixon/Watergate...I find JD's words today to be an affront to reality...and insult to justice, and completely disregard for Truth. Nixon's cohorts went to jail for him and then he up and died on them without ever paying them back...what a bunch of suckers and losers.

Bill McCoy2

"It takes more than a puny minor felony to get anything beyond a smirk and a yawn out of us."

Elliot Edelstein383

Yikes...Vance truly is an imbecile

BlueinOhio314

Criminals deserve to be in jail. Nixon not paying the price is why we are here today.

Chris⚖️Justice251

Nixon never went to prison. But his men did. Crooks. John Mitchell, H.R. Haldeman, John Ehrlichman and Charles Colson, all went to Federal prison for Watergate

🏳️‍⚧️ Fiona The Eepiest Kobold 🏳️‍⚧️187

Of course it would be a 12 hour news story today. The GOP spent the last 50 years making sure that Watergate could never take down one of their own ever again. And they've succeeded. Crime is legal if you have an R next to your name.

Dashiell Eaves139

“I mean, It was nothing compared to what we do daily!”

SteveG121

Nope, JD. What's crazy is that now it *wouldn't* take down a president. And that's because the GOP has no honor, no integrity, no principles, no decency, no shame.

CJ85

May the righteous Lord fuck this shit

Kernel Korn69

This doesn't demonstrate what he thinks it demonstrates. The problem isn't that the standards were too high during Nixon's time

Watergate was bad enough. Worse, Nixon taught Republicans to betray US and to steal elections. (Nixon wrecked Vietnam peace talks. He won the election and continued the war for four years, costing the lives of more than 20,000 additional US soldiers and 100Ks of Vietnamese civilians.)

Gary40

I guess he is giving us a reference for how corrupt things are now.

Angele39

JD’s sloppy casual attitude towards serious subjects is a major flaw. He thinks that joking like his demented vile boss will get him laughs, claps, & a leg up on his political career. He is speeding down a slippery slope. I’m looking forward to the final fall & crash.

tony-benn.bsky.social36

Vance might added…’I mean just look at all the corrupt shit we’re up to. Trump took in more than $2 billion in access payments last years and no one cares!”.

D Marie35

Normalizing crime and corruption in the White House by implying it's no big deal indicates they plan on a lot more criming.

Gerald Ford made a huge, stupid mistake pardoning the SOB.

Saint Sherman - The Ultimate Patriot26

He's totally jumped the shark. Wow!

Franca (Ph.D.) 🇨🇦24

Vance (born 1984) didn't follow the Watergate investigation, like older people did: it was on TV each day. What was mostly damning for Nixon is that he had lied to Americans. Dump lies everyday, even many times a day, as do other current members of the US administration.

Linda Marie 🕊️23

The fact that a fake hillbilly pretending to be a catholic is a vice president is crazy.

Get up, stand up21

Vance is normalizing presidents committing crimes. Let that sink in.

hypertazdad.bsky.social21

Normalizing criminality in a casual kind of way. Pedophilia won’t be so easy to justify.

"I mean, compared to the stuff we've been doing? You guys aren't even going to BELIEVE it, it just, wow (wipes tear), seriously, it's gonna be wild."

Kurt Weldon19

If Nixon's legacy is enjoying a renaissance, it's because humanoids like JD Vance are just so reprehensible that they almost make Nixon look good. Almost.

Caren with a C19

Nixon should have gone to prison, proving once and for all all Americans are equal in the sight of the law. Instead, we have SCOTUS saying Presidents are untouchable

Starman-X19

In other words, corruption has been normalized. Check✔️

Doug Profitt18

FUCKING WRONG!!! The fact that EVERYTHING that Trump does DOESN’T take down his presidency is crazy! What this useless fucker fails to mention is that if ANY Democratic President did 1/100 of what Trump has done, the GOP would be SCREAMING about it. But if Trump does it, it’s funny to them.

Dave Fortin17

JD should read Hunter S. Thompson....

Microfilm17

Bring the clip of this speech back in '28 when he's running for Prez and he thinks this kind of felony is small potatoes, barely crime.

After the Watergate scandal broke, Nixon started working with right-wing billionaires to control US media properties. We will never secure US democracy unless we eliminate billionaire control over America's news and social media.

Richard J Laya13

He’s attempting to normalize corruption. And I understand why. To Republicans, corruption actually is completely normal. And JV is a fucking crook just like the fat orange dipshit.

No, it’s not crazy, it’s how things were, and how they ought to still be. Sadly, the Trump Crime Syndicate has taken over America & turned it into a money making scheme for themselves & their billionaire buddies. JD Vance is the silliest, most irrelevant fool of a man to ever be Vice President.

TopCat10

And future historians will look at Trump and Vance and say, "The idea that it *didn't* take down a presidency is crazy."

The Republican Party created an entire media ecosystem for the very purpose of never allowing Watergate to happen again. And by “Watergate” I mean specifically accountability for Republican criminals.

digitaldesert.bsky.social9

And THIS is how Gerald R. Ford condemned the US to Trump 2.0 when he pardoned Richard Nixon to keep him out of prison.

Craig Russell9

So his point is that presidents should just be allowed to commit crimes because they’re president?

ElbatheOne9

Spoken with his usual nauseating smugness. The reason Nixon looks less bad than before is because this jerk, his boss, and everyone else in their circle is so much worse.

Tom Moroney7

Well: No Shit, because what Trump has done since 2016 would have been absolutely unbelievable in 1973.

This is just appalling & very revealing about how members of government view executive abuse of power. Perhaps he forgot that President Nixon needed a pardon from his successor to end the criminal investigation into his abuse of government power for his personal political gain.

Nixon will always have the blood of the entire Cambodian catastrophe on his hands as well as having been fired by Congress for being a crook - and JD Vance likes him.

So, "All the Presidents Men" is "deep state" according to Vance. That dude would love Elliot Carver from Tomorrow Never Dies.

Chicken and Sausage Gumbo Enjoyer3

Lost his first run for president, too

Regina Schrambling 3

Maybe Ike was not the last good Republican president...

Philip K. Dick Trickle3

The difference is a lot of people respected @dicknixon.bsky.social

look, when Vance is right, he's right www.nytimes.com/1999/10/07/u...

Kip Williams sort of2

Vance is a tricky dick.

Not that I ever thought Vance had a chance at being a contender for real political power, but it's good to see Theil's pawn being damaged like this

AltStateGov3

More and more I'm convinced (and what feels like more evidence) that some of these buffoons don't do much if any actual work besides attend routine meetings. Then theyre thrust onto global stages and obviously flub. There is no policy other than hate, punishment, and revenge

Enrique Bedlam2

In all fairness maybe he spends a lot of time looking at Roger Stone's bare back?

JustAGuyFromKY3

Is anyone still pretending that these are serious people?

Jez D yeah you know me3

It's a feature. Not a bug.

Them: It's what we do. What are you going to do about it? (horror movie villain laugh)

Vance: "I don't follow rules. Only the little people follow rules."

Solomon Hinton2

None of this is okay.

Also the entire idea of the JCPOA was that closer ties with Iran and the global economy and empowering moderates who wanted to work with the West for 15 years would make them less likely to want a nuke

BIG GREEDY Ribbler 🥓2

I want to ask a question, but I don’t want to get whacked by the Catholics. But also: have you seen the movie “Spotlight” 😭

Ra's al Gabbagool2

my mom converted to Catholicism after being raised Southern Baptist, and she ended up as a Bill Kristol-style, ex-GOP lib think a big difference between converts like her and JD is being active in one's parish tends to expose people to a wide array of people and viewpoints, which broadens the mind

Jay Gatsby2

This is why JD isn’t Hindu, none of that is disqualifying for Catholics in my experience. But I’m from Boston, and the church really messed this town up
