Oh man, it gets even better! From the article:

What are they talking about that's just what he looks like

[–] lividweasel@lemmy.world 40 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Geez, have some compassion for the guy. He’s nowhere near that thin.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hm. Well I hope the ~~gentleman~~ good health either way :33

Talk about direct action and solidarity.

That's how these regime whores should be treated every where.

They expect take nasty shit on plebs faces and then expect you smile as you serve them.

Is this what having a strong social safety net looks like where you don't risk losing your job and being homeless and destitute for taking a moral stand?

[–] PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 21 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No. The "benefits system" or "safety net" or whatever is really quite basic and not fit for supporting a modern family, contrary to what the Daily Fail would have people believe. Losing a job is devastating financially and emotionally, as it would be elsewhere. The main positive is healthcare is still free regardless of whether you're drawing a giro or £250k a year.

It still takes massive balls to stand together like that and fuck him off. Good effort.

You don't risk losing your job because your boss isn't an immoral shill for some capitalist corporation, so he's actually in on the protest and thus won't fire you.

Solidarity (and also labour laws Europe has less fire at will policies)

And the American Secret Service knocking on people’s doors and asking about their Facebook profiles

Fuck that entirely

[–] kcuf2@lemmynsfw.com 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

An appropriate acronym: American Secret Service = ass

Ya that one has been known for a while

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (15 children)

oh yeah, if some other country's secret service knocked on my door asking questions, i'd ask them to sit down (outside), serve them drinks, be polite, and laugh in their faces.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Id tell them to get off my property or get shot

Residents in Charlbury and the tiny hamlet of Dean, where the manor house is situated, quickly grew weary of Vance and his entourage of vehicles and Secret Service agents.

Wow, overzealous much? No one wants to kill Vance, what's the point!? 😂 He's like wasps or mosquitoes, people just want him to go away...

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 36 points 1 month ago

Charlbury couches can breathe a sigh of relief

The only way JD belongs in a pub, is if his head is mounted on a wall as a conversation piece. "...so we rounded up the bastards, and introduced them to French cutlery..."

I wonder how often his food gets the same treatment as a that scene in "Waiting"

I imagine any of these assholes can't eat out anywhere. It's probably why they eat so much fast food from drive throughs.

So much for the tolerant left.

[–] Jrockwar@feddit.uk 85 points 1 month ago (14 children)

Tolerance requires rejecting intolerant people.

JD Vance should go tolerate some curb in his mouth

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I hope this happens to him every day for the rest of his life. Project 2025 and dark enlightenment are pure evil. This man has no soul and deserves no peace.

[–] baines@lemmy.cafe 12 points 1 month ago (16 children)

maybe don’t act like a little bitch and then whine when people call you on it

why should we continue treating this trash with respect and decency?

I can tolerate someone's right the be human scum and continue living. That doesn't mean I have to serve them in any fashion or be near them in any way.

James Donald Bowman is the epitome of a bellend and an insult to humanity.

And I will deadname him in every thread till the day he dies.

The vice president had reportedly attempted to dine at The Bull in Charlbury, Oxfordshire, an early 16th-century countryside pub with a Michelin Bib Gourmand, a prestigious award from the Michelin Guide that highlights restaurants offering excellent food at moderate prices.

“It’s been the talk of the village-it’s the most exciting thing that’s happened here for a very long time,” one local told British tabloid The Sun of Harris’s visit to the venue, where a steak will set diners back $98.

Uh...

[–] modus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you look at the image of the menu in the article, most of the stuff costs far less than that. It's a bit deceptive to mention it the way they did.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 5 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I mean... it's sirloin. Not Wagyu premium beef from the royal herd, adorned with gold leaf and truffle butter... It's just cow.
