Vice President JD Vance was met with hundreds of pro-Ukraine protesters while visiting a Vermont ski resort on Saturday, following his public dust up with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the White House.

Vance and his family, on a trip to Sugarbush Resort, were greeted by the outraged protesters lining the snow-covered streets of the small Vermont town of Waitsfield.

Protestors displayed signs that labeled Vance a “national disgrace,” accused him of being a “traitor” and encouraged the family to “go ski in Russia.”

    We need to start throwing couches at him. Everywhere he goes, we need to throw a couch at him.

    Look, I know it is going to take dedication, and be costly. You gotta buy a couch for the sole purpose of throwing it in his general direction.

    But I’m not saying you can’t buy the shittiest couch at the thrift store. Or even buy YOURSELF a really nice new couch and throw your old one at him.

    Come on. Do you have ANY idea how funny it would be seeing people going skiing, riding a couch down the slope. Then throw it at vance at the bottom of the hill???

    There would be a moment where he realizes that people hate him so much that his entire life is everybody throwing couches at him!

    It’s a group effort, but lets make it happen.

      Would be great indeed but I fear there won’t be"that moment where he realizes …". In his view he’s doing everything right for his audience (grifter in chief, Putin, billionaires). Nevertheless “chapeau!” to the protesters, well framed in the ski resort setting - always to remind the amount of taxpayer paid relaxation while others suffer from their actions.

    It wasn’t only Vermont, but across the US ( Guardian link)

    “Protesters took to the streets in New York, Los Angeles and Boston, with hundreds gathering to express support for Ukraine and its president”

    “KAMALA IS A DO NOTHING VICE PRESIDENT!” - JD Vance

    “Well, I tried gaslighting a world leader who is our ally in a crucial war, that didn’t work, so I’m out of ideas. Time to go skiing I guess.” - Also JD Vance

    I am struggling to comprehend the insanity of contrast with one leader dealing with mangled bodies daily while the other mocks them then goes skiing.

      That’s why he’s mocking Zelenskyy. He could’ve sold his country to Putin and gone skiing, but instead decided to fight.

      I’ve stopped reading those. I might have put myself in a bubble, but I prefer a bubble over a heart attack because of rage bait comments from the antisocial dregs of society.

        Every time I dare to read those comments, I end up regretting it. Can you please tell me what is wrong with those people? I really don’t like thinking that people are hopeless and the majority is probably not. But i need help dealing with those.

          I wish I knew. All I can think of is that they’ve fallen into the alt-right pipeline and are now living in some alternative fact land, and there are people who lack empathy, who think that having empathy is a weakness.
