Holding support for Ukraine hostage to shallow political ends isn’t exactly unprecedented from a Trump presidency, so I’m willing to take Vance at face value on that.
JD Vance says US could veto NATO if Europe tries to regulate Elon Musk’s platforms
Republican vice presidential nominee says ‘Germans and other nations’ – not Russia – would ‘have to fund Ukraine’s reconstruction’www.independent.co.uk
It’s not technically about Trump so I think it fits better here.

Al Gore invented the internet.I kind of put this into the same folder as Gutenberg, Caxton and the Stamp Acts of 1712 and 1765 and other Taxes on Knowledge.
The basis of the Freedom of the Press amendment.
Along with The Royal Mail going private, which I believe created the original internet, Boyle's "Invisible College"

Invisible College - Wikipedia
Prior to privatization of the Mail people had to meet face to face to discuss ideas - Colleges and Institutions
After the mail ideas could be expressed clearly across Britain and over oceans. The environment for the proliferation of Coffee Houses, Taverns and Free Masons.
Elon Musk may be a bastard, but I like him. Boyle and Luther would approve as would Locke, Shaftesbury and Mills.
Trump’s control over the RNC fundraising apparatus isn’t doing the down-ballot candidates for other offices any favours.

He also reportedly wrote that “slavery is not bad” and described himself as a “Black Nazi.”
This…I was not expecting.

“I’m not going to go to some backwoods country and tell them how to live their lives,” Vance added. “But European countries should theoretically share American values, especially about some very basic things like free speech.”
I'm guessing he doesn't have a background in diplomatic or foreign relations.

"Those workers claimed that Robinson had bought “hundreds” of bootleg porn videos and that Robinson’s tastes lay in “just straight American porn.”
I wasn't aware porn stores had $1.00 bargain basket videos, that he could purchase by the hundreds, on a pizza shop employee hourly wage.
I wonder why nobody found this when he was running for and occupying the Lt Governor post.

The Daily Beast, really
LEFT BIAS
These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports, and omit information that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Left Bias sources.- Overall, we rate the Daily Beast Left-Biased based on story selection and editorial positions that favor the left. We also rate them Mixed for reporting due to failed fact checks.
Analysis / Bias
According to a Washington Post article, Editor-in-Chief Noah Shachtman describes how he will improve the Daily Beast. He states, “I want us to lean harder into who we are,” explaining further, “That means that if the Daily Beast is in the business of scoops — more scoops. “If we’re painting in bright colors now, I want to paint even brighter.”In review, the Daily Beast tends to publish left-leaning stories utilizing sensationalized headlines with emotionally loaded words such as “No, Rudy: Trump Isn’t Othello. He’s Iago” and “Imagine a Trump Who Could Constrain Himself and Just Talk About the Economy.” However, they typically source the info in their reports using credible sources such as Reuters, PBS, Slate, NY Times, and sources themselves. Despite that, they have published false claims and misinformation, as seen below.

I’m ashamed that even went down that rabbit hole but the article that The Daily Beast links to says that he bought one a week, for years.

So yes, I linked to The Daily Beast but the original was on CNN saying similar things:

I don't consider CNN much of a truth network either. They've been caught more than once peddalling bullshit and false stories also.
Like I say, if it was years ago and out there as obvious as they let on, you'd think it would've been found during his run up and taking the office of Lt Governor.
I'm not saying it's not true, but there's just too many coincidences. Even the language used is suspect. I'll need more than CNN and the Daily Beast to convince me.

‘We are staying in this race’: behind the unraveling of Mark Robinson’s campaign in North Carolina
The Republican candidate for governor’s own words have been landing him in trouble long before the latest reports
www.theguardian.com
It seems that this was just the latest in a decline for Robinson. He’s been trailing since June in NC, and really dropped off a cliff after Biden stepped aside.
And in the “everything is fine” category…
“Inflammatory” comments… I mean, I guess some of the activities he described could easily lead to inflammation.
