Of All His Terrible Choices, J.D. Vance Remains the Worst

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

I hate to even write the name and title: “Vice-President Vance.” It frightens me even more to think that at Trump’s age, Vance could become your president overnight, than it does to know that Trump is your illegitimate president today. Trump is “the devil we know.”

This will be a brief article. Everyone who cares about what is happening in our nation knows that J.D. Vance was an unpopular choice for most Republican voters. He is another hypocrite. He denounced Trump constantly prior to being chosen as his running mate. I despise liars and hypocrites equally.

It became completely clear after Trump violated the Constitution once again on Saturday night, bombing suspected nuclear weapons construction sites in Iran, that he and Vance rarely speak.

Vance, defending his Fuhrer, made the following statement, although Trump had already indicated that he prefers a regime change in Iran.

"The president's been very clear: We have no interest in a protracted conflict, we have no interest in boots on the ground," he continued. "Our view has been very clear, that we don't want a regime change."

Although Trump claimed that ‘Iran’s nuclear facilities had been ‘obliterated,’ Vance contradicted his boss, stating that they had been ‘severely damaged.’ Later he made another moronic comment.

"Severely damaged versus obliterated, I'm not exactly sure what the difference is," Vance said, adding that he didn't want to get into specific intelligence details. (Because he is not included in the conversations.}

For Vance’s education, a couple of definitions

“Severely damaged:” “To be significantly harmed or impaired, often to the point where the object or system is significantly altered, weakened, or requires substantial repair or replacement. It implies a level of damage beyond minor or superficial harm, indicating a substantial impact on the object's functionality, structure, or value.”

“Obliterated:” “To remove all signs of something, either by destroying it or by covering it so that it cannot be seen: The missile strike was devastating - the target was totally obliterated. All of a sudden the view was obliterated by the fog.”

Maybe I don’t understand the English language, but it appears to me that there is a substantial difference between the two definitions.
