As the Munich conference today wound up, JDV gave a *cracking* speech,
telling Europe they'd have to fund their own defense for a change.
Plus he also warned them not to cancel elections that don't go their
way (as happened recently in Romania). I read this as also as a hint
not to undermine the integrity of the German elections coming up
shortly where the 'far right' AFD party are expected to do very well.
For once - once! - a politician makes a speech I actually enjoyed!
Trump and JDV have really hit the ground running and are making good
on all their pre-election commitments. Fantastic!

 Vance would make an excellent  #48.
 I think that common sense is now called "far right".

Ignorant prejudice does get labelled "common sense".
Whatever "common sense" might be, neither Trump nor J.D.Vance has much of it.

As is keeping the electricity on.

You left out the rest of that proposition - "keeping the electricity on by burning fossil carbon" is a sentiment that climate change denial propaganda spreads with enthusiasm. Keeping the electricity on by installing lots of wind turbine and solar panels (and the short term storage to cover the time when the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing) isn't a message they have any interest in spreading - they don't make money out of either of them.
