People in Vermont were surprised that Vice President JD Vance and his family had decided to ski at Sugarbush, but at the same time, tourism and hospitality are economic drivers for the state.

Very strange for him. No couchs to fuck there, then why go? Also wonder just how tight security will be?

WARREN, Vt. — Here in the Mad River Valley, where the Trump administration is about as popular as a rainstorm on the slopes at Sugarbush, news that Vice President JD Vance was coming for a ski weekend was greeted with surprise more than derision.

Not that there isn’t plenty of derision. Activists have planned protests in Warren and neighboring Waitsfield. Local social media sites are chockful of bitter recriminations, saying Vance is not welcome here because of the administration’s policies against DEI and the mass firings at various federal agencies, among other reasons.

But for many locals, the idea of Vance coming to the state that not only rejected the Trump/Vance ticket by the widest margin, but to an especially liberal part of the state where the administration is wildly unpopular, doesn’t add up.

    Yeah, now that eggs are so cheap and all (went to the grocery yesterday and they’re rationed here). I haven’t checked dog shit prices but that’s too good for him anyway.
