4. Threats of irreleVANCE

[malaise]

6. Nice

😀

[calimary]

11. Ooooooh! GOOD one

IrreleVANCE!

How do I love this? I’m all out of adjectives and I can’t count that high!

This is gonna be GOOO-OOOOOD for the 2028 campaign. Nice ‘n’ concise! Short, sweet, and it’ll fit on a bumper sticker.


(Cuz if the current trends and dynamics continue, you KNOW he’s gonna run.)

[BattleRow]

19. How can one be sure in adVANCE what to expect?

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

30. Well done, Blue Owl!

And I agree with calimary, that is bumper sticker material.

[Alliepoo]

10. Sure, Jan...

She just didn’t want to go onstage w such an embarrassingly tiny turnout so she made up the threat garbage as an excuse not to show, and to stir the pot w the idiot supporters.

[Scrivener7]

17. She's such a liar! She probably saw that the crowd could fit around her kitchen table and bailed.

[BlueKota]

27. Or she wanted to generate sympathy for herself, and

accuse the left of something they didn't do, to try and continue the false narrative that liberals are the villians.

[Scrivener7]

29. Or both!

[Ruby the Liberal]

25. They must have been super serious - since SS let Vance stay on stage

Or a flat out lie. Who will ever know.

[RT Atlanta]

3. Kirby 'smart' should've had his football team in there...

those boys could use some moral guidance before they gear up for the annual summer 'arrest season'

[malaise]

5. 😂😂😂

7. Erika Kirk misses Turning Point event in Athens after VP JD Vance says she was threatened

ATHENS, Ga. — Vice President JD Vance told a crowd in Athens that organizers debated canceling Tuesday’s Turning Point USA event just hours before it began due to threats directed at Erika Kirk, forcing her to miss the highly-anticipated rally.

Vance said they ultimately decided to move forward after consulting with the United States Secret Service.

16. JD Vance - aka THE CURSE

says what? Athens, GA used to be a very liberal college town. Home of the B52's and REM.

Don't know what it is today but doubt it's the hotbed of MAGA they were expecting.

And wait a minute, there are multiple threats against Erika but NONE against the VP of the USA?

Pathological Liars, all of them.

[wnylib]

20. Very strange that she would not show up due to threats, but

the VICE PRESIDENT shows up anyway?

If a threat was scary enough to keep her away, why would the Secret Service let the VP be there?

[Maru Kitteh]

35. I'm surprised they didn't paint a bullseye 🎯

On his jacket. I would.

[rurallib]

8. Cleverly dressed as empty seats

[senseandsensibility]

9. And now Erika has canceled completely

citing security concerns. I just saw that on Aaron Rupar's bluesky.

[pfitz59]

12. They should have invited her understudy

Druski!

[Initech]

13. Hey MAGA, you're free to say whatever you want.

But also, we're free to not care, either! Get how that works?

[purr-rat beauty]

14. Threats because she got busted

Grooming a teenager?

[Boomerproud]

15. Prove the threats.

Don't bother with the AI crap because you will be exposed.

[Scrivener7]

18. This warms my heart!

[MW67]

21. Seems they've

Reached a turning point, good job!

[flvegan]

22. Kirk was jealous of the way Vance leered at all those open seats. n/t

[malaise]

23. Even Morning JoeScum is laughing at their crowds

[bearsfootball516]

26. Threats and security concerns?

It's an indoor arena where every person that attends is screened.

[Iggo]

[CanonRay]

[BobTheSubgenius]

33. Note to Turning Point.

Rent smaller venues. Save money.

[Hassler]

34. Even Turning Point knows better than to

Be in a room with alias JD Vance. Your career will be over, and you'll be dead within 24 hours.

[Iggo]

36. Druski ruined her shtick.

[twodogsbarking]
