He probably searched Parler, 4Chan, or Elon's Xitter and didn't have to look very far.

Yeah this is going to play well.

Didn't step down because Kamela can't win. Oh but now she can?

I mean we're only talking about POTUS here.

So easy to pass judgement. How do you know they weren't sniped in the ear too?

I wonder if this will become a fashion trend.

Remember when Nelly walked around with a band aid under his eye.

It's about as optimistic as i could be for a MAGA-style candidate. In reality, I think Vance is smart enough to use the system and backers to advance his own potential goals. He's not dumb enough to be a complete stooge and is certainly eyeing the highest office. I don't worry about a Thiel backing as much as Vance getting caught in the MAGA machine in order to win the nomination next go-around.

I agree with Azure that Vance could be beneficial to Canada given his re-industrialization approach, but i am less optimistic about those benefits.

In my opinion, the US is going hard into business grants and subsidies. Some of these states are offering sweetheart deals that we just can't (and shouldn't) try to match. Unless we are fine with spending Federal and Provincial revenue on making sure Ontario gets a few extra car plants (to the tune of essentially paying for the jobs themselves), I am not sure that is a good enough trade as Azure is suggesting.

Ironically, he probably doesn't want to put a mask for fear of looking weak.
He looked even worse after landing. It's dark and a far away shot, but you can pretty clearly see him basically getting lifted into his SUV by a Secret Service agent:
