8 trips in 7 months – what could possibly go wrong for JD Vance, the tone-deaf veep who wants to succeed Trump in 3 years?

JD Vance is the talk of the town over in the Cotswolds, a charming and luxurious region of England dubbed “the Hamptons of the UK.”

In his eighth vacation this year, the US vice president rented a sprawling, roughly $10,000-a-week manor for his family to enjoy for the summer. But between his insane motorcades and the large protests in response, the Vance family holiday is drawing more attention than expected.

Then again, most of the vice president’s seemingly never-ending vacations this year have drawn attention – and even controversy.

    We need to take 2 years of the presidency after fuck bag Trump and rework the whole government. Cut all these stupid ass trips our officials make, end citizens united, etc.

    Bullshit that SOME of us get 2 weeks a year while these fucks globe trot for 4 fucking years.

      Make it so the secret service isn’t allowed to go anywhere to protect someone that is not on official work.

      If they go on a vacation, no protection. That should halt most international trips. It also would make government officials have reason make everyone in the U.S. happy, not half the population. If they want to stay at their house, there is no protection. If you go to a business meeting for your company, no protection.

      Then change it back to the Vice President isn’t chosen by the President, they aren’t running mates. It’s whomever got the second amount of votes. So now not only is it just partisan regimes, but split coverage where the president and vice president must make sure they stay protected, because their party will lose the presidency if they die.

      Sowing hatred amongst the people would quickly become a bad idea. If the president is killed, the VP doesn’t pick their VP, the speaker of the house shifts temporarily to the position, while an emergency election takes place consisting only of the 3rd and 4th place in the presidential run. No outside funds allowed. Just 2 public debates, with those 2 members choosing which network broadcasts their debate. And a vote on the 7th day with it being declared a national holiday to pay our respects, and go vote.

      *I’m sure there would be much better ways, but at least if we’re going to have a hell hole, that would make it more interesting

      The wording should be “some of us get 2 weeks a year of vacation, while these fucks get 2 weeks a year of work.”
