The Pope snubbed JV Couchfucker. Apparently he hasn’t been able to get Vance’s stink off him since spending 17 SECONDS with him in 2025.

The Atlantic | The Venture-Capital Populist by George Packer
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
The article traces how venture capitalist David Sacks, a longtime libertarian‑conservative who built his fortune through PayPal, the “PayPal Mafia,” and later investments in Facebook, SpaceX, crypto and AI, moved from publicly condemning Donald Trump after the Jan. 6 insurrection to becoming a key architect of the new tech‑right’s alliance with the MAGA movement. In June 2024 Sacks hosted a $12 million fundraiser for Trump on “Billionaires’ Row,” which helped seal Senator J.D. Vance’s selection as the former president’s running mate and signaled a broader embrace of Trump among Silicon Valley elites. The piece details Sacks’s appointment as the White House’s special adviser on AI and crypto, the conflict‑of‑interest waivers that let him keep his venture‑capital firm while shaping policy, and his push for a pro‑crypto regulatory framework (the GENIUS Act) while advocating minimal regulation of AI and aggressive export of U.S. AI chips—even to China. The author argues that Sacks’s self‑interest‑driven populism has fused venture‑capital wealth with government power, reshaping American tech policy in ways that privilege the industry’s richest players at the expense of broader democratic and regulatory safeguards.

Day 52, US-Israel and Iran War:
The US is keen on conducting a second round of negotiations with Iran in Islamabad, Pakistan. However, Iran didn’t lean forward to show its interest in having a talk with the US until now, stating that the US shifts goals and violates ceasefire obligations.
#JDVance appears to be arriving again in Islamabad on Tuesday but is not confirmed yet!
The 10-day ceasefire comes to an end on April 22, Wednesday.

Parker Molloy brilliantly reminds us that JD Vance is the creation of the mainstream media which, knowing the money lying behind him (can anyone say Peter Thiel?) has persistently sanewashed him and presented him as the "intellectual" alternative in the Trump-Vance pairing.
The reprehensible journalistic technique they employ in talking about Vance is anonymous quotes from unnamed DC insiders.

"JD Vance’s political career doesn’t exist without Hillbilly Elegy, and Hillbilly Elegy doesn’t exist as a political launchpad without a specific institutional decision, made in 2016 by the exact outlets now writing the war skeptic pieces, to elevate it as the book that would explain Trump voters to coastal readers.
For Vance, the press is running the inoculation campaign."

"They’re laundering the anonymous quotes into news and printing the framing his comms team is handing them. They know what they’re doing. They’re doing it anyway.
If JD Vance becomes president in 2028, this is part of how it happens. Every outlet, all at once, all writing the same framing. By the time anyone in those newsrooms wants to admit the pattern, they will already have done the job."

"I mentioned here in the shebeen on Monday that I suspected the elite political media was warming up to rehabilitate Vice President J Divan Vance as the mythical 'reasonable Republican' in time for the 2028 presidential election. ... And here we have Tiger Beat on the Potomac [i.e., Politico] all over the story of how Vance already is building a juggernaut among the professional political classes."

"Vance is a prefab candidate created by the techno-bro establishment. (The plans are hung on the wall of Peter Thiel’s basement.) That marks him as something of a weirdo. (What the hell was that business of his wife and skydiving about, anyway?) And, in any case, he remains equally unpopular and unlikable and so politically maladroit that no amount of Vancewashing in the public prints is going to change that."

Vermutlich hat JD Vance Orban bei seinem Besuch nur den amerikanischen Pass vorbei gebracht, damit dieser nun aus Ungarn ausreisen kann, weil ganz sicher sehr viele Strafverfahren eröffnet werden.

"The chant 'Europe, Europe, Europe' rising from the banks of the Danube, in front of the Hungarian Parliament in Budapest, where Péter Magyar is celebrating his electoral victory, is a cry that shakes the conscience of us all. It lifts our spirits, fills us with joy, and gives us hope that this era of sovereigntism and populism may soon be consigned to the past. Long live a united and democratic Europe!"

#JDVance isn't a skilled negotiator. He was out of his league...typical for The Donald's minions. Trouble is, the world pays the price for their incompetance.

#US & #Iran officials #fail to come to agreement in face-to-face in Islamabad #ceasefire talks
#JDVance said negotiations between the US & the Iranians have ended without a deal after the Iranians refused to accept American terms to not develop a nuclear weapon.
The high-stakes talks ended after 21 hours, Vance said, with the vice president in constant communication with #Trump & others in the administration.
