    I enjoy ridiculing dipshits as much as the next guy, but this has basically nothing to do with urbanism because VIP motorcades – regardless of how excessive their length might be – occur infrequently enough to be negligible. The next time I see similar stuff posted it’ll be removed as off-topic.

    Okay, I know the Irish Star is a tabloid rag, but even I expect a little more from them than this:

    Headline: “JD Vance ridiculed for 40-car motorcade taking him down tiny Italian street”

    Subheadline: “The tiny streets of Milan witnessed an unusual parade: JD Vance’s 100-car motorcade, a scene that left social media in disbelief.”

    Do better, Irish Star, what little that means for you. Or make it a 500-car motorcade next; “sky’s the limit when you don’t give a shit.”

    I completely agree with the judgment that this is stupid on many levels. The article didn’t discuss cost, but that’s what I want to know. This is an embarrassment and a waste of tax dollars. How many lifetimes of middle class income did it cost to transport an obscene amount of extra guests to what should be a business expense?

    Imagine being so far up your own ass (or Trump’s ass) that you need a 40-CAR MOTORCADE!! to protect your worthless life and still not be aware that you are a hated pos, or not be aware of WHY you are a hated pos, but i do like it that they live in constant fear of the common folk, i like the idea that they have so much money and “power” and they still have to look over their shoulders and sleep with one eye open, we will always outnumber them, that’s what power is.
