Vice President JD Vance was met with hundreds of pro-Ukraine protesters while visiting a Vermont ski resort on Saturday, following his public dust up with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the White House.

Vance and his family, on a trip to Sugarbush Resort, were greeted by the outraged protesters lining the snow-covered streets of the small Vermont town of Waitsfield.

Protestors displayed signs that labeled Vance a “national disgrace,” accused him of being a “traitor” and encouraged the family to “go ski in Russia.”

Maybe you should run for office. Probably would have been far more effective, and if America is short on anything it's leadership.

If I ran for office and mentioned anything about the $36 TRILLION in offshore tax havens to help pay for things like infrastructure, UBI, and universal healthcare, i'd be fucking assassinated. The problem about wanting change and working within the system to achieve that, is that it's never you who changes the system, it's the system that'll inevitably change you. There's nothing wrong with compromise in a situation, but compromising yourself in a situation is another story completely.
