JD Vance briskly marched up to Air Force 2, Kamala Harris’ plane, planning to give political reporters a show as he confronted the vice president uninvited on Wednesday. His power-play dreams, like most of his chaotic veep run, were immediately thwarted once he realized Harris was not present. “I just wanted to check out my future plane,” Vance told campaign reporters gathered on the tarmac in Wisconsin.

Even if that phrase hadn’t been used ad nauseum already, this would be the right time to use it. This is truly a WTF move.

It's all about projecting strength, especially towards women, bonus points if they're not white.

The entirety of conservative politics is narcissists trying to convince morons they embody strength and power...

A weaklings idea of strength.

A peasants idea of wealth.

A losers idea of a playboy.

An idiots idea of a genius.

A cowards idea of a hero.

It's easy. Narcissism. Anything for attention.
