Sen. JD Vance vows prison for those who covered up alleged welfare fraud

politicsMay 16, 202621199

Sen. J.D. Vance vowed that officials who concealed welfare fraud will face prison, saying federal investigators will uncover criminal conduct. Vance, the U.S. senator from Ohio, accused unnamed state and local administrators of hiding improper food-stamp and assistance payments and called that concealment a deliberate policy choice that endangered law enforcement. The declaration signals imminent federal probes and increases scrutiny of welfare administration, turning the issue into a high-stakes legal and political matter.

A charisma-less Vice President JD Vance was met Friday with humiliating silence when he tried to transform a memorial event into a political stump speech. trib.al/6naitdp

When he walks into the forest, the birds go silent.

Starting to think that JD Vance is hurting his reputation for honesty.

Trump flatly told reporters he doesn't think about Americans' finances "not even a little bit," then watched JD Vance, Mike Johnson, Mark Meadows, and five other Republicans deny on camera that he said the thing he said on camera.

JD Vance as newly Minted Senator from Ohio also couldn't wait to proclaim it a failure of Biden's infrastructure spending you know, about PRIVATELY owned, capitalist abused railway systems. He knew they would be STUPID enough to eat that shit sandwich - even without mayo.

I think 2028 won't be competitive at all. Iran is going for regime change levels of economic damage, and that'll clear the way for Literally Any Democrat. JD Vance will probably pitch a harder fight in the aftermath of November 2028 than on the campaign trail.

Much as I'm pro-EU, if the choice is stay out, or the JD Vance you get from Temu, I'd rather stay out.

JD Vance: "You can never get rid of evil. You're always gonna have terrible people who want to do the worst things. But allowing so many of those people free rein, allowing them to strike at our law enforcement officers, that was a policy choice."
