JD Vance has real “rejected from art school” vibes. Though I somehow suspect his villain origin story is even stupider than that.

I don’t understand, did he write multiple forwards to Project 2025 books? Why do we keep getting random headlines to single lines that he wrote for one piece?

He looks, and kinda sounds, like Gary from Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell.

Nah, he’s fat bizarro Bill Hader.

Though honestly my wish is that Martin Short plays him on SNL. Only because Steve Martin is the obvious choice for Waltz and I really think Short could capture the idea that JD doesn’t even deserve a credible stand in, only off the wall mockery.

Why are there quotation marks around only the word “wolves”? Is that the only word from the headline he actually said?

Maybe the rest is paraphrased for brevity, or maybe the author felt that this was the least believable part and opted to emphasise that he used that exact word.

Or maybe it’s some weird rule about quoting a title assigned to someone or something? For example, the Wikipedia Article on Napoleon describes that he

crowned himself Emperor of the French

without quotes, but later mentions

what became known as the “Hundred Days”

with quotes. I’m neither a native speaker nor reveived particularly in-depth education on writing guidelines, so I have no idea. I just know that sometimes there are weird rules about quoting stuff.

But if I take them at their word and start advocating “get them before they get you”, I’m the bad guy.
