Protestors force Vance to leave Vermont

[GameofPhones]

Wow, so many protestors against Vance.

Now we just need the rest of earth to protest and maybe he'll fuck off to mars

Unfortunately he has very thick skin.

Sorry in my haste to express surprise I unthinkingly posted under AIBU. But I guess my question would be 'AIBU to be surprised that Americans came out so quickly to protest against Vance the Dance and SCROTUS.

He scurried off though.

🤔

He is a grade A bully. I have never ever met a single bully that had anything other than a chiffon ego, and if I ever did, they would not look like JD Vance.

Fair enough. I guess I just see him resurfacing over and over, his nose all the way up Trump’s arse, batting away the references to his guy liner and sofa kink, and think of that as thick skinned. I’m happy to be wrong about that! 😆

Btw, I adore “chiffon ego” 😆

Mmm, wondering how Doge views the federal funds spent on accompanying him and his family...

And it gives me enormous pleasure to see that he's a sh1t skier

I don't think they necessarily left Vermont, just went to a different ski resort?

"US media reported the family moved to an undisclosed location from their planned ski resort because of the demonstrations."

And also there were a variety of flags/placards, not just in support of Ukraine.

You appear to be labouring under the misapprehension that DOGE give two shits about governmental efficiency. I can assure you they have no interest in it whatsoever. Their role - their only role - is to demolish the federal government before anyone realises it's gone and ensure that "the Executive" is merely a rather over lettered way of saying "Trump".

That is their mission. That is their goal.

If that's the AIBU, then YABU... I'm surprised that it took so long for them to come out onto the streets, and that there aren't more of them.

In a country with £340m people, I would be expecting mass demonstrations on a grand scale rather than just a few hundred people. I mean, good on those that came out, but where is everyone else?

I mean Vermont is blue as hell - they were never going to be welcoming to JD Voldemort.

I would be more surprised if protestors ran him out of Texas.

The guy wears eyeliner - I don't think he's as tough as he thinks he is!

Very. He even shrugs off racist abuse towards his family.

How come they have a Republican governor in Vermont then? Genuine question.

Another one scurried off

Same way California did. They liked that particular individual running for office.

Thank you, good people of Vermont, for showing that not all Americans are thrilled by what Trump and Vance are doing! This sign in particular was 🔥

Too scared to go to Ukraine, too scared to stay in Vermont.

I think the meeting the other day proved otherwise.

He looked thin skinned, easily triggered and like he needs Daddy Trump there to back him so he can throw his weight around.

Agree- he's also massively aware that Musk is the VP in everything but name.

He started the chaos on Friday … what a complete clown …
he’s doing Trump no favours whatsoever

I hear the skiing is good in certain mountainous regions of Russia.

Were there any Russian flags? I didn't see the demonstrations
