7 times JD Vance probably should have just stayed home on the couch
Vice President JD Vance can't go anywhere!
Vance has a history of being off-putting, making people uncomfortable, and getting booed basically everywhere he goes.
But now, President Donald Trump's second in command can't even go to his home state of Ohio without having the population make their dislike of him very clear. And it's not just states or the happiest place on earth that don't want him around; entire countries want nothing to do with him, either.
He may only have a 47.4 unfavorable rating from Real Clear Polling, but if the crowds that gather every time Vance tries to exit a plane or car are any indication, people really don't like him. We can't imagine why.
Here are 7 places that the populace has made it clear that he should steer clear.
Ohio

Even in his home state of Ohio, Vance isn't guaranteed a warm welcome. On July 28, the vice president visited the Metallus steel mill in Canton, Ohio to brag about the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, but was met by a few dozen protestors with a giant sign accusing Vance of 'protecting pedophiles' in reference to The Trump administration's refusal to release the files related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the Ohio Capital Journal reports.
Nantucket

Last week, Vance traveled to Nantucket for a Republican National Convention Committee fundraiser and was met by boos from protesters who trolled the vice president with giant posters of the AI-generated bald Vance Meme and protest signs with messages like 'go hump a couch,' in reference to the hilarious rumor that he once made sweet sweet love to a piece of furniture.
Disneyland

After Trump started gleefully ripping families apart as part of his 'immigration policy,' ICE protests sprang up all over Los Angeles, so when Vance decided to roll into town to take a family trip to Disneyland, the protestors set up camp outside the park. But that's not all, once he arrived, Vance and his family were met with people confronting, heckling, and recording them.
Also, if you haven't seen him running while at Disneyland, do yourself a favor and check it out now. You can thank us later.
San Diego

Vance is so unpopular that he can't even have dinner without facing hate. Over Fourth of July weekend, Vance was heckled and booed while coming out of a sushi restaurant with his wife. "Hope your Michelin-starred sushi was worth it with 82 people dead in Texas! Thanks for cutting the National Weather Service,' someone can be heard shouting in the video, while another person says, "Get the hell out of San Diego, a******!"
The Kennedy Center
x.com
As Vance and his wife Usha took their seats at a National Symphony Orchestra concert at Washington's Kennedy Center back in March, the concert hall filled with booing, jeering, and shouts of 'You ruined this place!' from the crowd. This came after Trump sacked the chairman of the Kennedy Center board and appointed himself instead, and named Usha as one of the new board members, all while vowing to change the Kennedy Center's offerings because he deemed them to be too 'woke.'
Greenland
x.com
In March, Vance and Usha arrived in Greenland on a controversial trip as part of Trump's bizarre push to take Greenland from Denmark, but instead of being welcomed with open arms by the locals, Vance was ignored by the people of Greenland and told the trip was 'highly aggressive' by the government. People protested the trip outside the airport where Vance landed, and organizers of a dog sled race, the second lady intended to attend, announced they never invited her. Ouch.
Canada
x.com
Conservative Canadian MP Jamil Jivani, who befriended Vance while the two were at Yale, uninvited his old friend to the Great White North after Trump's comments about Canada becoming the 51st state and the administration's threats of tariffs. 'They need to probably reconsider some of their rhetoric and their policy before coming to Canada,' Jivani told Politico. 'Our country should deserve more respect before being able to welcome them.'
Vermont
x.com
Vermont's normally very welcoming people gathered by the thousands to protest Vance when he and his family descended on the state for a ski trip. People lined the streets leading to the ski resort with protest signs expressing concerns about the state of democracy, climate change, the war in Ukraine, and LGBTQ+ rights, and aimed their ire at the vice president, the Maine Morning Star reported.
And finally...furniture stores

Listen, the whole story about Vance d*cking down a sectional might have been just a rumor that got out of control, but furniture stores aren't taking any chances!

When Trump Changes His Mind, Republicans Find a Way to Fall in Line
President Trump and his top aides used to be all too happy to praise the numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In February, Mr. Trump displayed a chart in the Oval Office showing that the United States had gained an estimated 10,000 manufacturing jobs. When the bureau's March report came out, Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, celebrated the 'GREAT NEWS!' on social media. And as recently as last week, Vice President JD Vance promoted data from the bureau that showed an increase in jobs among U.S.-born residents. That was then. After the bureau put out a less-than-impressive jobs report on Friday, Mr. Trump fired Erika McEntarfer, the agency's commissioner, and claimed the figures were rigged. (In the way of proof, he said it was 'my opinion.') Now, many Trump allies who walk in lock step with the president are in an awkward position. They have to justify tarnishing the reputation of the very bureau whose work they had cited freely in the past. Some began arguing that there were too many revisions, long a part of the process in calculating jobs data. Others accused the bureau of lacking transparency. Some simply argued that the president had the right to fire whomever he likes. Still others repeated Mr. Trump's claim of rigged data. Senator Markwayne Mullin, Republican of Oklahoma, who voted for Ms. McEntarfer's confirmation last year, accused her on Fox News of generating 'fake reports.' 'I'm glad she's out of a job,' he said. Senator Roger Marshall, Republican of Kansas, who also voted for Ms. McEntarfer, accused her of incompetence. 'Legacy media's wrong on why the BLS chief was fired,' Mr. Marshall wrote on social media. 'It's not 'bad numbers' — it's incompetence. She inflated job numbers by 800K pre-election, then missed by 250K last two months. How can the Fed make sound decisions with such flawed data? Trump was right to act.' Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, who in March had hailed the bureau's statistics showing strong job growth, backed Mr. Trump's concerns about Ms. McEntarfer in a post on social media. A spokesman for Mr. Vance — who had promoted the bureau's work the same day that Mr. Trump fired McEntarfer — said he was 'completely aligned with President Trump and was glad to see him dismiss the B.L.S. commissioner.' Appearing on NBC's 'Meet the Press,' Kevin Hassett, the director of the White House National Economic Council, declined on Sunday to furnish detailed evidence that would substantiate the president's claims that data had been manipulated. Instead, Mr. Hassett, who in the past has cited staff at the bureau as 'professionals,'said, 'The president wants his own people there so that when we see the numbers, they're more transparent and more reliable.' On CBS's 'Face the Nation,' Jamieson Greer, the U.S. trade representative, cited the bureau's use of revisions, even though they are part of a normal process of shoring up statistical data to ensure it is accurate. 'There are always revisions, but sometimes you see these revisions go in really extreme ways,' Mr. Greer said. 'And it's, you know, the president is the president. He can choose who works in the executive branch.' The White House distributed a document accusing Ms. McEntarfer, a Biden appointee who was confirmed by a vote of 86 to 8 in the Senate, of a 'lengthy history of inaccuracies and incompetence.' 'The fact of the matter is that B.L.S. has had clear problems with the reliability and accuracy of its employment statistics since the start of the Covid pandemic over five years ago,' the White House said in a statement on Monday. Mr. Trump has a pattern of accepting results that benefit him and denigrating those he dislikes as being rigged or part of a scam. He has objected to the results of the Emmys, falsely claimed that President Barack Obama did not win the popular vote and asserted that his erstwhile rival Senator Ted Cruz of Texas 'stole' a primary victory from him in Iowa in 2016. After losing the 2020 election, Mr. Trump spread the lie that the election had been stolen from him. And since returning to office, he has lashed out at the sources of bad news for his administration, including judges who rule against him. In May, when he received a mix of good and bad economic news, Mr. Trump said the 'good parts' of the economy were his, while the 'bad parts' belonged to the previous administration. Stephen J. Farnsworth, political science professor at the University of Mary Washington, said even though much of the economic news Ms. McEntarfer delivered to the Trump White House was positive, 'that wasn't enough.' 'The firing is a warning to other government officials that Trump pays very close attention to whether the news makes him look good or not,' he said. 'The larger issue is what this means for markets and for investors. If we're talking about an environment where the impartiality or accuracy of government statistics is called into question, it's much harder for people to make rational and informed choices.' While it remains to be seen whom Mr. Trump will appoint to the position, the vote will serve as a test for Republican senators. 'The key question for the Congress is: To what extent will they insist on a competent professional to be confirmed for this position going forward?' Mr. Farnsworth said.

Trump keeps finding new ways to batter green power
The Trump administration is rapidly escalating its war against renewable energy on a battlefield where its power is immense: public lands. Wind and solar developers are still readjusting their survival strategies after President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act last month, slashing renewable tax credits and chilling green investment. Trump's Interior Department is now unleashing a fusillade of policies aimed at restricting wind and solar projects on public lands and ocean floors. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum inked one of his latest salvos Friday, directing his department to vet solar and wind projects according to how much power they generate relative to how much space they take up, my colleagues Ian Stevenson and Scott Streater write. That metric is a strikingly unfavorable one for renewable energy, according to numbers the department included in an appendix. Contending that renewables 'hold America back' from achieving 'energy dominance,' Burgum's order panned wind and solar as 'highly inefficient uses of Federal lands.' It's unclear how land managers will apply the new order, Ian and Scott write. But Burgum's quest to end 'preferential treatment' for renewable projects underscores the industry's worsening outlook. Burgum — whose home state of North Dakota gets roughly 40 percent of its power from renewables — has also halted new offshore wind leasing. Interior said Monday that it's killing a five-year schedule for offshore wind leasing, further darkening the industry's future in U.S. oceans. Collapsing investmentThe anti-renewables push by the Trump administration is a considerable setback for solar, wind and long-distance transmission projects in Western states and Alaska. But the impacts are most severe for offshore wind, which relies almost exclusively on federal real estate and permitting. Bloomberg New Energy Finance has dropped its forecast for new offshore wind in the U.S. from 27.8 gigawatts by 2035 to just over 6 GW. 'That's about $113 billion in missed investment,' said Atin Jain, BNEF senior associate for wind, in an email. 'Crucially, stalled projects also halt the additional billions that would have flowed into U.S. ports, vessels and supply chains to support this buildout.' Burgum has described his renewables overhaul as an effort to right the ship after the Biden administration boosted renewables. Biden also made mining and drilling more challenging on public lands.

Power Centers Trump's power bill problemHigh electricity bills are creating difficult choices for people across Arizona, and the Republicans' sprawling tax and policy law is unlikely to help, Jason Plautz writes. Arizona and other states with rising populations and tech industry demand for more electricity are bracing for higher costs. The law signed by Trump in early July slashed incentives for wind and solar power and boosted natural gas. As a result, forecasters say electricity bills are going up. 'The question is who pays for all that growth and whether it's possible to build that much generation in such a short period of time,' Amanda Ormond, a former director of the Arizona Energy Office, told Jason. Grassley's last standRepublican Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and John Curtis of Utah have placed holds on three of Trump's nominees to the Treasury Department over its implementation of energy tax policy in Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Kelsey Tamborrino and Josh Siegel report. The actions follow a so-far unsuccessful effort by a handful of Senate Republicans to meet with the Trump administration to discuss forthcoming Treasury guidance that will establish rules of the road for the phase-out of tax credits for wind and solar power projects. Grassley placed holds on three Treasury nominees: Brian Morrissey to be general counsel, Francis Brooke to be assistant Treasury secretary and Jonathan McKernan to be an undersecretary. Occidental's carbon capture gainsOf all the major U.S. oil companies, Occidental Petroleum may be best positioned to benefit from the megabill, Corbin Hiar writes. Occidental is an industry leader in using carbon dioxide to coax oil from older wells. And the so-called megabill increased incentives for the use of carbon capture technology. 'Since they are the pacesetter, they are the ones best positioned to take advantage of an enhanced tax credit,' Skip York, an energy fellow at Rice University's Baker Institute, told Corbin. Wildfires across southern EuropeWildfires are raging in Portugal, Spain, the south of France, Sardinia, Greece, Bulgaria, Albania, North Macedonia and Turkey, Louise Guillot and Nektaria Stamouli report. More than twice the area has already burned this year compared with the same period last year, which was a record-breaking fire season, according to the EU's Joint Research Center. Climate change is only making the situation worse.

GOP senators place holds on Treasury nominees over solar, wind credits
A person familiar with the effort granted anonymity because the move was not made public told POLITICO that Curtis has also placed holds on the same three nominees. The pair, alongside other GOP senators, have escalated their pressure on the Trump administration in recent days to back off its efforts to strangle new solar and wind energy projects, warning that potential cancellations would make it harder to meet growing power demand, as POLITICO has detailed. Grassley said he would object to consideration of the nominees until he can be 'certain that such rules and regulations adhere to the law and congressional intent.' His comments follow a July executive order from Trump that injected new uncertainty for solar and wind developers facing already onerous new deadlines under Republicans' mega tax and spending law, H.R. 1 (119). The order called on Treasury to 'strictly enforce' the termination of the production and investment tax credits for wind and solar facilities, including by issuing new guidance related to when a project is deemed to have begun construction — a potential outcome that Grassley and other GOP senators said they sought to safeguard against. While the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ends the tax credits for projects that start producing electricity after 2027, those GOP senators added a last-minute compromise to offer more time for projects that begin construction in the next 12 months. 'What it means for a project to 'begin construction' has been well established by Treasury guidance for more than a decade. Moreover, Congress specifically references current Treasury guidance to set that term's meaning in law,' Grassley said in the Congressional Record. 'This is a case where both the law and congressional intent are clear.' Trump's executive order targeting the long-standing metric followed pushback by hard-right House Republicans who briefly withheld their votes for the tax and spending package over the Senate's easing of the clean energy credit rollbacks. The White House and Treasury Department did not immediately provide comment.
