It’s not an exaggeration to say that Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Donald Trump’s 2024 running mate, is a very strange person. He’s downright weird, and so are many of the things he’s said over the years about denying women the right to control their bodies and how men need to be more “alpha” if the United States is to survive as a superpower.
Vance often comes across as little more than an animatronic wax figure trying to pass himself off as a human being and failing miserably.
But a video making the rounds on social media is drawing new mockery of Vance for his so-called “laughing” during a campaign speech, with many noting that he sounds like Jack Nicholson as the Joker in the 1989 film, “Batman.”
Here’s the Vance video, which has been trending on Twitter/X over the past few days and currently has 181,000 views:

Failed one-term, twice-impeached, and criminally convicted former president Donald Trump is making clear once again that while loves to chide his political opponents and call them names, the “weird” tag applied to him and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is driving him to anger and distraction.
During a Fox News town hall with host Sean Hannity Wednesday evening, the disgraced ex-head of state went on an extended riff regarding the “weird” label.
“There’s something weird with that guy,” Trump said of Walz. “He’s a weird guy. JD is not weird. He’s a solid rock. I happen to be a very solid rock. We’re not weird. We’re other things, perhaps, but we’re not weird.”
Trump then doubled down, letting the world know just how badly Walz is living rent-free in his otherwise empty head.
“But he is a weird guy. He walks on the stage, there’s something wrong with that guy, and he called me ‘weird,’” Trump said. “And then the fake news media picked it up, that was the word of the day: Weird, weird, weird, they’re all going. But we’re not weird guys. We’re very solid people who want our country to be great again.”
Trump wound up saying “weird” 11 times in 30 seconds.
The differences between failed one-term former president Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris could not be more striking, and that includes how they’re preparing for their first (and maybe only) debate, which will be held next Tuesday, Sept. 10 in Philadelphia and hosted by ABC News.
According to CNN, the contrast between the two candidate’s debate prep could not be more profound.
“For Harris, a stand-in for the former president — wearing his signature red tie — has helped her visualize the scene ahead of time. Trump, meanwhile, has eschewed a sparring partner in the role of Harris, choosing instead to replicate the informal “policy time” that formed his preparation ahead of June’s debate with President Joe Biden.”
Additionally, Harris has the advantage of discussing what to expect from Trump by consulting the last two opponents the disgraced ex-president debated, one in 2016 and the other in 2020.
“One advantage Harris has benefited from is advice from the only two Democrats to have faced off against Trump on a debate stage: Biden and Clinton. Harris maintains a close relationship with both, and each has offered their counsel since she became the nominee.”
That being said, “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon noted Tuesday during his monologue that he has some timely advice for Harris.
“Both Harris and Trump are spending hours each day preparing. Harris is working on various comebacks, while Trump is up to 80 hot dogs in 10 minutes,” Fallon quipped.
“Apparently in her debate prep, Harris is focusing on ways to rattle Trump,” he added. “Yep, she wants to rattle Trump. Right now she’s deciding whether to wear a jacket that says IRS or FBI.”
While the majority of Americans were cooking out and celebrating Labor Day in traditional ways, Republican National Committee co-chairwoman Lara Trump decided she’d drop her latest “song” via social media.
The song, entitled “Hero,” seems to be dedicated to police officers and firefighters. It includes the line, “You climb up the ladder, and the screams get louder, you’re my hero.”
Holy shit! There’s bad and there’s abysmal. Lara’s singing fits into the latter category.A wounded badger caught in a trap while undergoing a root canal without anesthesia sounds better than she does.
There’s certainly nothing wrong with honoring first responders. Most of us are thankful daily that they’re willing to put their lives on the line to protect and even save ours. It’s a thankless job that is only for courageous and selfless individuals.
However, if you have no musical talent like Lara Trump, then it would probably be best to just post a video thanking them without managing to damage their eardrums in the process.
Reaction to the “song” was brutal. Take a look.
Every note is a violation of the Geneva Convention.
A filing made late Friday by Special Counsel Jack Smith is terrible news for failed former president Donald Trump, especially since he’s right in the middle of trying to win the 2024 election and doesn’t need more negative publicity with his poll numbers already tanking.
Smith notes in the filing that he is willing to proceeed with the case “promptly at any time the Court deems appropriate,” and it also includes a line that will worry Trump and his attorneys, according to former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner, who appeared on MSNBC to discuss the matter.
“There is one what I would call money line, and it’s on page two,” Kirscher began.
“Here is what I would call the money line: [Smith] says that the government, the prosecutors propose that it will file a brief in which we will explain why immunity does not apply to the categories of allegations in the superseding, the new indictment … ‘or additional unplanned categories of evidence that the government intends to introduce in trial and will put in this brief.'”
“What does that mean?” Kirschner continued. “Jack Smith just said, ‘Judge Chutkan, I’m going to put lots of other information and evidence about Donald Trump’s crimes and conduct so you have it all. So you can make a decision about whether each thing Donald Trump did was official or unofficial, might enjoy immunity, or should not enjoy immunity.'”
While the Supreme Court did indeed give Trump some immunity with a 6-3 ruling handed down in July, Kirschner explained, that immunity isn’t absolute and the high court made it clear individual judges will be left to decide what is covered by presidential immunity.
“What remains to be seen is when will Judge Chutkan say ‘okay, we’re going to litigate this issue. I want the briefs.’ Will they be September, will they be October?” Kirschner said. “Because those briefs, according to what Jack Smith said, are likely to contain a whole bunch of information that the grand jury knows about Donald Trump’s crimes, but that the American people do not yet know about.”
New information and evidence about how Trump allegedly tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election so he could remain in office might prove devastating, especially since voters are already leery of putting Donald back in office.
In other words, the filing from Smith is the worst possible news at the worst possible time and could be what winds up sending Trump to prison for a very long time.
