It will be very important to tie Vance to other anti-women MAGA politicians. This is about a coming patriarchy that seeks to both denigrate and subjugate women. His MAGA cohort here in North Carolina has referred to women as skanks and said abortion is a problem because they do not keep their skirts down. Birds of a feather.
Once again I think of a comment my mother used to make, it would apply to both men. Poor excuse of a human being. I miss my mom every day but I am so grateful she is not here to witness all that is happening. Like me, she would support President Biden to the end.
Odd and probably more common you say that since I've been during the last run and now. My parents (z"l) would've died from this had they not before it all occurred. Sadly they missed Obama's years too. THIS tho' ..
Yes, Ginny, the Greatest Generation in particular, many of whom gave or risked their lives to save democracy and freedom from fascism 80 years ago, would be as scandalized and nauseated as would be the Founders themselves to witness the MAGA desecration of and defecation upon their august vision for America and the Constitutional bulwark they constructed to guide and defend it.
Of course this is a grotesque choice! Grotesque begets grotesque. Hillbilly elegy on steroids of grotesqueness. Vance is so emblematic of his redneck dumb-as-s**t movie.
Horrible, but they are all horrible. Right now, Trump is on a high, the good will he is getting from the gunshot, Cannon's dismissal, and Vance, he is on top of the world. Somehow everyone thinks his speech is going to change everything. There may be new and improved Trump for a few days but you cannot change a leopard's spots. The Cannon "victory" may buoy him up or make him even crazier in a few days. Let's hope Jack Smith has something up his sleeve. Trump may look restrained now for a few days but hopefully, he will go off the deep end in a week or so.
When you are raised by people who instill no sense of morality and ethics in you, as has Vance been raised, then what you get is a smart , ruthless, illiberal sociopath. His upbringing cannot erase the stain of his background. Weasel, liar and fascist opportunist. That is who J. Vance is. Believe it.
I know too many people of similar background to JD to primarily blame his meemaw and others. His sociopathy is on him. He's using his Appalachian roots for his own profit and it's despicable.
God, we needed Tim Ryan and the grief is breaking again.
When you are not taught morals and values, you turn into someone like Vance. His intelligence allowed him to escape but his character was forever damaged.
It’s a great choice - for Dems. He’s a nasty piece of business. The last person likely to believe in “ tone down the rhetoric”. So, just wait…. He’ll show exactly who he is.
This is a gift of a pick for VP. Only one worse would have been Kristi Noem. He won't expand TFG's support anywhere near as much as someone like Marco Rubio would have. Just like TFG's ads are all from the debate, Biden's campaign has a whole load of gift wrapped quotes from Vance, from his positions on women to his dislike of TFG.
I fully expected that he would surprise us all and pick Kristi Noem. She has all the qualities that come with someone TFG would admire and cherish. Maybe she wouldn't put out for TFG or something...
Vetted? The guy who was quoted as saying he never liked TFG? The vetting likely went a day back to Vance's post on X saying the assassination attempt was Biden's fault. It was an obvious overture to TFG and can't you see him reading that, smiling smugly and saying, "that's my guy"? I sure can.
As I suspected, the pick was going to the one that "bent the knee" the farthest. To the best of my knowledge, none of the other "contenders" said much of anything since Saturday evening. Bad move on their parts.
JD Vance is a weenie’s weenie. A malignant little toad of a man who fits right in with orange Hitler’s cohort.

...including the anti-women women.
For fuck's sake Steve, they're all grotesque choices.
Just when you thought MAGA reached the bottom of the barrel, they still never cease to amaze!…:)

As I once heard, “You are who you hang with.” Enough said.
Or in this case, are threatened to 'hang like' since he's taking Pence's spot on the list.
True that, Joan. True that.

Good lord... It just gets worse and worse by the minute.

You may be right about that. Kamala will thrash him like a schoolboy in the debate and shove him in the corner.
I just hope she doesn't giggle. Her giggle is a giveaway to her nervousness. Don't be nervous, Kamala.

his best pick would have been Nikki Haley but his ego would not allow it
Good points Mike!! 👉
I fully expected that he would surprise us all and pick Kristi Noem. She has all the qualities that come with someone TFG would admire and cherish. Maybe she wouldn't put out for TFG or something...
Truthfully, I never thought he was going to pick a woman. It's anti-MAGA and anti-Christian Nationalism.
Yeah, but she is so deliciously sleazy and over the top. That has a lot of appeal to a guy like TFG.
So did a friend who wrote "I honestly expected him to break with tradition and either not choose a Veep or choose a female like MTG.
Vance... lets see if he was properly vetted. I suspect that he is crawling with skeletons."
Vetted? The guy who was quoted as saying he never liked TFG? The vetting likely went a day back to Vance's post on X saying the assassination attempt was Biden's fault. It was an obvious overture to TFG and can't you see him reading that, smiling smugly and saying, "that's my guy"? I sure can.
So “unity” but picks Vance. I get it.
JD Himmler is being fitted for his uniform as we speak.
Well said.
Many years ago, I read Hillbilly Elegy and thought so well of him for quite some time after that.
What happens? This is a sick choice. I wish no harm to anyone, but please Americans don't vote for this twosome, we are better than this.
As I suspected, the pick was going to the one that "bent the knee" the farthest. To the best of my knowledge, none of the other "contenders" said much of anything since Saturday evening. Bad move on their parts.
"Gag me with a spoon."
I said the exact same thing when they announced his name.
Great minds....
