JD Vance Hits the Slopes, But Vermont Hits Back

JD Vance Takes a Break… From Doing Putin’s Bidding

Ah, nothing like a relaxing ski vacation to clear the mind after a hard day’s work helping a foreign dictator. JD Vance, fresh off his latest performance in “How to Be a Putin Puppet in Three Easy Steps,” decided to take a quick getaway to Vermont. Because nothing says “tough guy fighting for American values” like après-ski and a warm mug of cocoa in the Green Mountain State.

But there was just one tiny problem: Vermont didn’t want him.

Protesters Greet Vance With Open Signs (and Zero Open Arms)

The people of Vermont, known for their love of nature, maple syrup, and democracy, were less than thrilled to host the Ohio senator. Instead of the warm welcome he might have been expecting, he was met with some rather creative signs:

“Go Ski in Russia, Traitor.”
“JD Vance Skis in Pants.” (The horror.)
“JD Vance Puts His Cast Iron Skillet in the Dishwasher.” (Truly unforgivable.)
“Our Cow Has Better Ideas Than JD Vance.” (And let’s be real, it probably does.)
“Go Couch, Not My Country.” (A little mysterious, but hey, it works.)

Turns out, people have thoughts when you spend your time undermining support for Ukraine while its people are literally fighting for their survival.

Vance Flees to an Undisclosed Location (Hint: Not Ukraine)

After being chased off by Vermonters armed with democracy and wit, Vance reportedly hid in an undisclosed location. (Spoiler: It was probably a luxury lodge with hand-crafted wooden beams and a $20 hot chocolate.) But even there, he couldn’t escape scrutiny.

Enter TMZ, the world’s leading source for celebrity embarrassments. Their reporter managed to catch Vance on the slopes and asked the million-dollar question:

“JD, how does it feel being Putin’s puppet?”

Cue an awkward moment where Vance almost wiped out on what may or may not have been the bunny slope. The universe, it seems, has a sense of humor.

Republicans Cry “Unfair!” (Again)

Predictably, conservative commentators rushed to Vance’s defense, clutching their pearls as if they’d just witnessed the greatest injustice since someone dared to ask Sarah Huckabee Sanders to leave a restaurant.

“Can’t a man ski in peace?”
“This is harassment!”
“The left has no respect for vacations!”

Ah yes, because the real victims here are politicians who work to strip people’s rights, healthcare, and food security, then get surprised when those same people don’t exactly roll out the red carpet.

JD Vance: Defender of Ski Lodge Aesthetics

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the sheer audacity of JD Vance jetting off to a ski vacation right after berating Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for his wardrobe. Yes, Vance, a guy whose biggest struggle last week was finding a good parking spot at the lodge, had the nerve to criticize the leader of a country fighting off an invasion for not dressing formally enough.

If only Zelenskyy had the foresight to pack a ski jacket and designer goggles in between dodging Russian missiles.

The People Are Speaking (And They’re Loud)

What happened in Vermont isn’t just a one-off. Across the country, people are waking up and realizing that they don’t have to silently accept what’s happening. They’re showing up to town halls, rallies, and, yes, even ski resorts to make their voices heard.

Huge pro-Ukraine protests are happening in major cities.
Town halls are turning into battlegrounds, with voters demanding answers from Republican officials who would rather be anywhere else.
Even Trump is feeling the heat, whining about “paid troublemakers” disrupting Republican events. (Newsflash: These are just regular Americans, and they’re pissed.)

Vance and the GOP: Not Ready for the Reckoning

At a recent town hall, Republican Rep. Lisa McClain dismissed voters’ concerns, calling them “SOB stories.” Because nothing says “party of the people” like mocking veterans, nurses, and teachers who are struggling under policies they helped create.

Meanwhile, Senator Roger Marshall literally ran out of a room rather than answer a veteran’s question about job cuts at the VA. Nothing says “support the troops” like bolting out the door when they ask for help.

What This Means (And Why It Matters)

The backlash against Vance in Vermont isn’t an isolated incident—it’s part of a larger movement. Americans aren’t just sitting back anymore while politicians:

Cozy up to dictators.
Strip away rights and benefits.
Pretend to be “tough” while crying over ski trip disruptions.

And if JD Vance thought he could just kick back and enjoy a stress-free vacation after licking Putin’s boots, well… Vermont had other plans.
