  4. Anyone else think they’re planning a coup? Like sorry, Donnie, the gig is finally up. Vance will pardon you when you leave office, wink wink nudge nudge.

    And then the real crap begins.

  5. This is the Little Miami River, flowing through the eastern suburbs of Cincinnati and a super popular kayak spot. I wonder if the local kayak expedition companies were forced to shut down that day as well …

  7. Just incredible gaslighting. Nothing like this ever happens outside the United States. I cannot imagine a European politician ordering one of the rivers to be dammed up so he could take a boat ride with his family. Absolutely pathetic.

  8. This is the plan. Use the country like it's their fiefdoms. We really are dealing with billionaire warlords who see the US as nothing more than their personal playgrounds.

  9. So all other boaters can risk unsafe waters while Vance and his not white wife enjoy their privileged vacation. They can go F themselves!

  10. If you run aground in water, a real Appalachian gets out of the damned thing and carries it to the next free flow. Too much work for Beardy McSoft though.
