Summary

JD Vance is actively working to raise his profile in the Trump administration after being overshadowed by Elon Musk.

During a recent Oval Office meeting, Vance took the lead to criticize Zelensky as “disrespectful,” setting up Trump to criticize Zelensky.

According to New York Times reporter Michael Shear, this confrontational approach is part of Vance’s strategy to avoid being “relegated to the B-team” in what has become “one of the most fast-paced and aggressive administrations in modern history.”

    You don’t want too many cooks in the kitchen, as they say. These jokers aren’t making soup though and there’s no such idiom about crooks in the kitchen.

      It’s commonly known in the insurance industry that when you have two many crooks in the kitchen, the establishment tends to go up in flames right before it is unable to pay the next insurance premium.

      And then the crooks stupid enough to burn it down tend to go to prison.

      I seem to remember one about too many hands in the cookie jar. Seems appropriate enough here.
