JD Vance, frequent flyer and traveler at large, fulfilling the promise of 'the ugly American' abroad.

Well, this is rich. And by Trump Administration, it means JD Vance, who does not know how to behave abroad (on on any number of his vacations this summer) who thinks his views surpass UK laws.

Complaining that a man was arrested for quietly praying outside a clinic that provides full medical services for women so that equals UK fails to uphold human rights? Protests in UK re issues in Gaza are not to Vance's liking so the British government needs to crack down? In the week that Trump has put armed forces on the, so far, calm streets of D.C.? A) the man praying outside that clinic was violating the safe access zone. And B) TRUMP HAS ARMED MASKED MEN KIDNAPPING PEOPLE HERE IN TH US! #@)#$$@!!!

The attempted distractions from THE FILE just keeps creating more GOP administration bad headlines. Putting JD out there ignores an important fact about JD: 'the man ain't got no couth.'

Theil seems to want his boy to get more attention as they obviously want to move him to the big chair, but being submissive to the money men isn't what leadership is actually made of. JD keeps tripping on his over-sized clown shoes when he's out with the grown ups.

And then there's a nice family trip for Columbus Day. Thanksgiving is going to be in San Diego again, of course.

And then, of course, the kids will have to hit an all-inclusive resort for the Christmas break: just the Vances and their security detail will be allowed.

Vacation Vance!
