U.S. Vice President JD Vance said on April 14 that he is proud of Washington cutting off funding to Ukraine amid Russian aggression, listing it among the Trump administration's top achievements.

Speaking at a Turning Point USA event in Athens, Georgia, Vance recalled being confronted by a Ukrainian-American over his calls to halt funding for Ukraine.

"And this person got really agitated at me because I was saying we should stop funding the Ukraine war," Vance said.

Never seen someone so proud of themselves for fucking couches and killing children. Have you said thank you yet?

Nothing gives Vance a hard-on like abandoning his allies while they are being genocided. Hide your sofas, save your cushions.

This just makes Putin all too happy, because they're running dogs.

It's amazing that Vance can use so many words to say so little. If he wasn't so full of shit I'd say he's totally vacuous.

They're in Athens, GA? That's a really nice college town, home of REM and the B-52s, great restaurants, etc. It's one of my favorite places to visit for business.

Why does MAGA have to show up there and shit all over such a nice college town? Stick to your shithole cities like Boise and Salt Lake City. Leave nice places like Athens alone.
