Simpler times. I just remember making fun of Sarah Palin and telling friends to Google "Santorum". Things were just as serious back then, just earlier in the timeline, but at least we could laugh about it.

US Vice President JD Vance has accused Iran of terrorising the global economy by blocking maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.

Remember Sunday, when Trump announced the USA would block maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz? JD Vance hopes you don't.

I can't wait for this kid to get kicked to the side

He will too, even if he inherits the office for part of a term. The viper's nest will choose someone else come 2028.

[–] Jesusaurus@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

Wait, so they openly claim Iran is conducting economic terrorism and then double down to do the same thing as Iran? Double standard much?

[–] WagnasT@piefed.world 10 points 4 months ago

What a fucking idiot.

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 months ago

Well I accuse Vance if dickbaggery.

Ooohhh...Shady Vance is mad because he lost the talks.

Fuck off, America.

Vance: you can't be a terrorist if we terrorist at you harder.
