JD Vance's entourage to the Olympics came over in 14 planes, with 1 plane entirely full of food supplies.

@ProjectFearlessness Could Vance’s excessive protection mean a ‘Night of the Long Knives’ is imminent; a purge within MAGA to burry the Epstein problem? #MADMAGA
@Dialectician
Maybe, but I don't know if the two things are connected. All I know is that if I were JD Vance and the last time I went to Italy I killed the Pope, I'd have a ridiculous amount of security too. -

No, really. He took 1 entire plane full of American food. To Italy!

Re the pineapple on pizza 'controversy'
My dear friend Franco, that runs Franco's my every morning Italian place, has to sit down, clutching his Naples born and bred heart, muttering, "Santa Maria", at the mere mention of such an aberration.
HOWEVER...
Dylan the French born waiter reacted like someone having an allergic attack when he saw that Franco had on display 'Pistachio Croissants'... Ashen faced it was, "Non! Sacre bleu! Abomination! Merde!!!!"

OK, so JD Vance having a 100 car motorcade travelling through the streets of Milan is one way of projecting political power.
But if he really wanted to impress Europeans he could have just gone and done his own supermarket shopping.
@ProjectFearlessness
As you know, in Vance's world doing the supermarket shopping and the housekeeping are the wife's jobs. His wife will agree. However, I'm almost sure they let a maid do these jobs. -

@MissConstrue
Exactly. Here in Europe we can laugh at the ludicrous notion of bringing a plane full of American food to Italy, but we're also angry at the hideous carbon footprint and cost of all this.
I imagine in America it's the same except there is no laughter, just anger.@ProjectFearlessness Sure anger... but anyone with any gastronomic experience knows better than to take food to Italy. Or France. Or anywhere with real butter, cheese, or non growth hormone meat.
I’m an emotional human, and raised by French trained chef, a bit of a foodie. I have literally wept at food I’ve been served in Italy because it was so good. One Nonna taught me how to make meatballs that armies would fight for. (And given that she was old enough to have seen the rise and fall of the Romans...) I have had espresso so good I asked the man to marry me. Fruit and veg so fresh you want to slap their faces.
I cannot imagine bringing food to Italy. What an insult. And such a stupid insult too. Worthy of this regime, I suppose.

@ProjectFearlessness pissing away taxpayer money so JD can get booed in Italy.

@ProjectFearlessness
he's the stereotypical "ugly American" on steroids -
@ProjectFearlessness
It reminds me of how many people said it was 'bad writing' that the rich Americans on White Lotus never left the hotel to eat literally anything else in Italy, but I always assumed that was the point.They really are all just... like that.
@thecrushedviolet @ProjectFearlessness I'm a US-American but grew up in Germany. Long story short, my family knew a LOT of US service members over there. Some of them did live on the economy and tried to experience the culture. But many, many of them complained about how different everything was, which of course made everything bad, and the food was all wrong, and they didn't leave their base if they could help it, etc etc.... It was a damn shame. I always pitied them.

@thecrushedviolet @ProjectFearlessness Then there's my dad, who was in ROTC before I was born. He was excited about the "join the army, see the world" promise. He applied for assignments in Europe and Asia. The assignment he got was in his USA hometown.
-
@wesdym No joke here. I was stating the obvious. I may have said: "could have you expected anything different?" That thing of flying a plane of food is playing overwhelmingly the american cliché.
I add that probably also Italians would do the same if they were to go to America, but instead of a plane full of Coca-cola and processed foods (as I prejudicially expect it to be), they would hide spaghetti and tomato sauce within their clothes.

@ProjectFearlessness Vance brought a whole plane load of food with him. To Italy! Maybe he's worried about being poisoned, or maybe he just prefers Wonder Bread, Cheez Whiz, and Beer Nuts to local cuisine.

He didn't know you can get pizza in Italy. America needs better education.

@ProjectFearlessness Except, he couldn't, because everywhere he goes, he gets booed out of the place.

@Wyatt_H_Knott
Well, of course. In Europe, where we measure the success of a politician by how much they can be seen in public without getting boo'd, Vance is an abject failure. Don't care how many cars he's got. -

He left early.

I was just thinking about that earlier. He doesn't have any luck with winter sports. I remember the signs. JD Vance skis in jeans! -

I think the Italians must pity him rather than despise him. JD Vance's whole life is a cultural desert.
