46. Sure, he looks like crap. But--
Mon Mar 2, 2026, 01:55 PM

Since 2017, he has had visible (as well as audible) afflictions that people have been pointing out as sure signs of his imminent demise, and yet there he still is.

When he disappears for a month, and after that, the public only sees him looking mummified, talking only from a great distance in voices that sound like they are AI-generated, THEN we can start up the JD Vance cartoons.
