Concern about the leader's fragile health and odd behavior prompts the vice president to declare readiness to assume power. The vice president asserted that roughly 200 days of on-the-job experience made him prepared for the presidency. The vice president has produced few tangible accomplishments during that period and has instead focused on lecturing others about gratitude. He admonished Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani to be more appreciative of American assistance and opportunity. One remark about childless women and cats was insulting and sexist, highlighting smugness, tone-deafness, and apparent ineptitude.
Apparently, you only need a little over six months to be prepared for the toughest job in the world. So what exactly has J.D. done in those 200 days? Let me think...still thinking...googling...that didn't help...trying to be creative here...damn, drawing a blank. Nothing yet. Maybe I should be grateful that he hasn't done anything in those 200 days? Wait! That's it! The truth is, he hasn't accomplished much of note, unless you count offering lessons in gratitude to world leaders and political opponents.
Vance tried to lecture Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the man whose people have endured years of invasion and war, who has repeatedly thanked the U.S., including during a speech to Congress and the world, for being more grateful for American aid. As if Zelenskyy hasn't been profuse enough. And closer to home, Vance pulled the same move on Zohran Mamdani, the New York City Democratic mayoral candidate born in Uganda to a family from India, telling him he should be more appreciative of what the U.S. has done for him. I've said this before, but who died and left J.D. Vance as the arbiter of appreciation? Vance's obnoxious smugness is only outdone by the bizarreness of his view on society and his glaring ineptitude. Perhaps the only thing Vance himself might feel truly thankful for are cats, since they keep those childless ladies he worries so much about company. That remark was not just insulting and sexist, it revealed
