MILWAUKEE (AP) — Former President Donald Trump chose Sen. JD Vance of Ohio as his running mate on Monday, picking a onetime critic who became a loyal ally and is now the first millennial to join a major-party ticket at a time of deep concern about the advanced age of America’s political leaders.

Great. So now we have to hear from this asshole daily in addition to Trump’s meandering authoritarian christofascist rants.

Others have pointed out that Vance was historically a “never Trumper” who used some pretty colorful language to describe the former Pantshitter-in-Chief. Love being led by spineless weasels, it’s my favorite 🙃

I’m not that surprised. Since Trump moved to Florida, he couldn’t pick anyone there. I also feel like Vance is probably a lot closer to Trump’s style.

This is a pretty bad pick, I’m glad. I was worried he was actually going to pick somebody that independents like

Agreed. from an electoral standpoint, it’s bad.

Of course, if Trump wins, then it’s still a bad pick, but for completely different, terrifying reasons.
