JD Vance will be the new VP

He totally looks like he has bodies buried in his backyard.

Conservative donors beat liberal media to the punch.

Yikes. I have a coworker who lives near him.

After the lesson of Mike Pence, Trump's VP choice will be someone who can be bullied and pushed around big time.

In other words, one huge pussy.

Therefore, it will be little Marco Rubio.

Marco Rubio has "bottom bitch" written all over him.

I think it will be Burgum or, out of left field, Haley.

Vance would be a big roll of the dice, but it would guarantee Trump taking OH and IN and maybe MI and PA too.

JD Vance looks very bisexual to me

@r5, "Marco Rubio has "bottom bitch" written all over him. "

Is it still there? I wrote that on his ass at our last foam party. Damn, that's some good ink

I thought only fags did the foam parties back in the day.

Wow, every possibility is equally horrid

How will Rubio help the ticket?. Dump already has Flawduh's 30 electoral votes.

OP? Don’t make me laugh. There is no such thing as “mainstream liberal” media.

R13 Come on. All you have to do is turn on the tv hahahah

^ What channel, dear?

Asking for someone who hasn't watched network news in 10 years

JD Vance has been a Senator for less than one term and is not qualified to even be a senator.

Vance has no experience doing anything except lying and licking Trump's ass.

[QUOTE] Vance would be a big roll of the dice, but it would guarantee Trump taking OH and IN and maybe MI and PA too.

Trump already has Ohio. And nobody in Indiana, Michigan or Pennsylvania gives a shit about JD Vance. This guy’s been a senator for what, two years? They don’t know who the hell he is. Most Americans can’t name their own two senators.

Nah. Mainstream media is just doing this because "OMG what if Vance becomes the VP" is a story that gets clicks, whereas "What if Burgum..." is a yawn.

The media is right to make a story out of it. Trump or Biden (if Biden actually gets the nomination), the odds of their Veep taking over next term are so much higher than the norm. This person could very easily become the President of the United States.

2 Beards

If he’s the VP nominee the media should question him relentlessly about his previous anti-Trump statements.

“I’m a Never Trumper. I just can’t stand the guy!”

Trump is already losing support, post-debate. (Which is incredible given all the noise about Biden. I think people are finally turning their backs on corporate media.) Selecting JD Vance as VP - who looks, sounds and acts like a total cunt - will make even more voters think twice about the Trump ticket.

I mean, JD Vance is not a convincing liar.

R23, let's put some data back in Datalounge. Sorry but Trump is up a bit since the debate, and holding.

R19, Biden is the presumptive nominee. The only other option, Kamala Harris, is not going to stick the knife in Biden’s back. Both of them have been doing some excellent campaigning. They’re going to persevere and will be victorious in November. Watch Biden address the Labour department yesterday, watch him address the NATO summit, watch Harris in Nevada. There isn’t a problem. (And the campaign should make sure their own people are in control of the sound system going forward - Biden sounds fine when he’s not being sabotaged by the media.)

They are going to stay the course. And then lock up George Clooney.

Nobody trusts Nate Silver anymore, R24. It’s not 2016. Catch up.

But .......JOE BIDEN IS OLD!

JD Vace "wrote" a book. That is his qualifications for one step away from President?

Enlighten us R26! Whose aggregate of the polling data should we all be consulting?

Or are polls all shit now 'cause you don't like the result.

Real name: Jimmy Bowman from western Ohio.

r30 Yep and left quickly. Moved to the west coast, wrote some Conservative BS bullshit novel and then was nominated to run as senator from Ohio.

Like De Santis, their excitement level is “0”

@r25, "And then lock up George Clooney. "

He already has his own dungeon. He'll feel right at home

I just hope when he's part of the new Dump administration - nobody hangs him.

^ Really? I'd pay a nickel to see him hang... Unless he's hung 😉

[quote]And then lock up George Clooney.

Too Trumpian. If Biden somehow prevails on 4 November (colossal if), gorgeous George will have called it wrong. He will forever bear the mantle of concerned wrongness. A small cross to bear though in the overwhelming glory of Trump's permanent defeat.

Married to a brown woman named Usha. I wonder what the MAGA white supremacists think of that...🤔

Vance looks good with a beard, he would be really sexy if he lost 40 lbs though.

R8, whomever tRump picks will be a closet case.

It was true of Mike Pence. It is true of Tim Scott; been rumored about with young “Little Marco”; and certainly is the case with Lady G.

JD Vance reeks of the closeted (and an excess of eyeliner). I have no idea about Burgum, but wouldn’t be surprised about him (or Hawley).

Remember tRump’s ideal consigliere was manly, man Roy Cohn.

Can someone explain the guyliner thing? Is this a right wing thing to be like the nancy boy country western singers? I just saw some guy yesterday wearing guyliner-it was very strange.

Which name is he going to go with?

Republicans in disarray!

Did Rupert have to let Trump & his loathsome brood back on Fox after 4 yrs?

Yep!

Trump's donors will shut up and take whatever he gives them. Every Republican gets raped by Trumpism eventually.

What a horror!

He's also only been a senator for about 18 months, with no government or business experience before that.

He's not a war hero. He's not a business legend. He's not a TV star. He wrote a book that political journalists read during a very boring summer.

He doesn't fill in Trump's gaps on the map or on the issues. He doesn't assuage the worries of anyone who believes Trump 2.0 will be four more years of sloppy, emotional chaos with no real policy or governance. He's a sideshow to Donald's main attraction at the roadside.

His eyes scream fucking psychopath. [bold]psychopath[/bold]

Vomit.

Mindy, the wedding is off!

[quote] Wow, every possibility is equally horrid

Burgum, Vance and Rubio have all criticized Trump heavily in the past, they are just playing the game you need to play with Trump, just like Putin and Kim Jong-Un play, compliment Trump and never criticize him. They know what he is, they are all Republicans so of course they are bad but it could be worse. Trump could have picked Steven Miller, Mike Flynn, Steve Bannon, Roger Stone, or one of his two grown up boys.

Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) said Vance merely "doubles down on MAGA," and doesn't "expand the map."

An astute assessment in one sentence. JD Vance is Mini-Trump. He brings nothing unique or productive to the ticket.

And as to their main selling point - that he "knows how to talk to poor people" - is utter bullshit. The fat fuck went to Yale, worked in tech in California, and hasn't set foot in a Walmart in 20 years. Contrast this picket-crossing private-equity prick with Joe Biden, a man who's actually marched with striking workers and hasn't (yet) forgotten where he came from. The working class knows that rich people and elites look down on them. But we're also smart enough to notice when someone slithers his way up the ladder and ceases to be one of us.

JD Vance is the shitstain who had no friends in high school, but got good grades. He went away to college, became part of the elite, and comes back once a year to show off his BMW and leave insultingly large tips for waitresses he used to know.

Vance on Trump:

"A total fraud"

"A moral disaster"

"America's Hitler"

"He brings nothing unique or productive to the ticket."

He doesn't have to because I am now a Christian martyr, almost murdered while fighting for the rights of ordinary Americans.

Of course they put a millennial into the VP slot.

You think that this wasn't orchestrated in response to the "Biden iz old" brouhaha?

The GOP are evil but they're more strategic than we are.

r53 You literally bled for America. Can any of the Founding Fathers say the same, really?

Vance was Donnie Jr's choice, maybe the kid has more sway with Daddy than I thought

[quote] Can any of the Founding Fathers say the same, really?

No they can't they are all dead.

Mike Pence's telegram to Vance: "You'll be sor-r-r-r-r-r-y ... ."

[quote] Of course they put a millennial into the VP slot.

He looks a lot older though. I honestly thought he is in his 50's.

He's completely unqualified to step into the role of the presidency. A total empty suit, like Trump. What a disaster!

Donnie Junior will run in 2028. Welcome to the Trump dynasty.

I hope Glenn Close is happy now! She's responsible for elevating this MAGA hillbilly to the White House.

Agreed, R62. Fuck Glenn Close. I hope she never gets that Oscar!

He looks so chubby and average.

I bet he loves McDonalds just as much as Trump.

Two vice presidential buffoons-

Harris AND Vance

A face like a fresh slapped ass

but what holler does the Mrs come from?

Why doesn't he go by his first name of James?

R67 One of the places Donald calls a "shit hole country"

VD Vance

It's too "coastal elite", R68. I'm surprised he hasn't changed it to Cletus.

Buy stock in Maybelline.

He's Trump's biggest sychophant and the one Trump thought would look best on WH reality show.

He may be a millennial but he has old-man energy and I’m shocked to learn he’s only 39.

OMG 😱

What a CHUBBY little boy 👦

Geez, you kill a couple of useless critters, and you're yesterday's mashed potatoes!

Oh, well, congrats you fucker!

Picture him without the beard. Enough said.

I hope to see Vance hang one day.

Oh look. Another Trump thread.

The spirit of George H.W. Bush can rest knowing that a candidate has finally selected a worse candidate than he did.

You might as well make the headline "JD Vance will be the new President of the United States."

Trump will not be alive in 2029.

Give fucking time-hopping bitch OP credit for traveling to the future, but F&F him for not giving Crooks a heads-up on the Secret Service snipers or tips on how to improve his aim.

[quote] Picture him without the beard. Enough said.

Why? Is he planning to divorce his Indian wife?

So i guess Murdoch is pissed? Didn’t he want Burgum?

Don't believe Vance previous insults to Trump will hurt the ticket. He got elected in Ohio and those recordings were played non stop. Trump is going to destroy America. Biden is losing this.......FUCK FUCK FUCK.....

Blood orange 🍊 face from where it was wedged up into the last 6 months

JIIIIMMMMMMMMAAAAAAYYYYY!

story-------"The moral collapse of JD Vance"...

and the VD adVances

His lawyer wife has clerked for John Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh.

I am going to call him JeD bc has a face like a Clampett.

In fact, he looks like the baby of a mushroom and a deformed foot

Wonderful. The ticket brought to us by Satan and Maybelline.

He has a very punchable face.

I think this is a gift to Democrats. This is going to piss off a lot of women even more.

Slow down, R81. Jesus Christ. Trump hasn’t won anything yet, the election is still 4 months away and if the last 72 hours are any indication, a LOT is going to happen between now and then.

He has dead eyes. He looks like a serial killer.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more punchable face.

If you ignore corporate media - and you should - the Democrats chances get better and better. And they were already pretty good.

We all need to get out there and do some campaigning, door to door and phone banking.

We have only ourselves to blame if we lose this thing.

You know what the worst job in America is? The guy whose job was to vet this fucker and uncover all the skeletons in his closet and clean up the mess before the media are able to uncover any of it.

I agree R94.

So, it's official, huh?

Everybody go to IMDb and drive the score of Hillbilly Elegy even further with a 1 star rating!

It is interesting that Trump trusts someone that used to be so anti-Trump he called him Hitler. The guy is kissing Trump's ass now, but most people would see right through that.

I’m sure it’s about money. Vance’s backers promised Trump the most money. No question.

Be prepared. The Media is not going to vet this g uy. They will talk about his book. They will talk about him being from Ohio and how that strengthens Trump in those critical swing states. Hell, I can write the fucking script right now. You want him vetted you will have to do it. Stick with the online investigative reporters who don't give two shits.

Match made in hell.

r103 You're forgetting that to the GOP getting called Hitler is a compliment.

R103------>>WRONG......Trump endorsed JD Vance and Vance won. Those remarks by Vance played non stop during the Ohio Senate election. The MAGA Trumpers didn't care then and they won't care now. Biden cannot win this. PANIC...

It's only panic since the media is telling you to feel hopeless and passive in desperation. As long as the Wall St. can keep the turnout low, which favors Trump (so far, Biden has been difficult to replace with a corporate technocrat, in spite of a concerted effort.) They want an administration that will be bought and paid for by corporations.

Would he have been selected without the beard and Ozempic treatments?

He stills a fug after going on ozempic and growing a beard. The beard makes him look like a perv.

R111 It’s what I call the Baptist preacher beard.

[quote] He stills a fug after going on ozempic

He should ask for a refund. Or get the legit stuff and not some black market fake shit from a place like Turkey.

Is there betting yet on how long Tim Scott stays engaged?

Well, they have to give themselves a proper time to grieve the deep bond that existed between them, so I'm saying 2 weeks, R114?

I'm starting to wonder if Scott, Burgum and Rubio declined the VP job after the assassination attempt? You don't want to be standing next to the most hated man in the world.

(1) He looks like a child toucher.

(2) he looks like every creepy preacher in every southern Baptist and Pentecostal church in every poor, hillbilly town across the south and Appalachia.

People who were raised in these churches and managed to escape will have a viscerally negative reaction to him. I wonder how that will play out.

[quote]I'm starting to wonder if Scott, Burgum and Rubio declined the VP job after the assassination attempt? You don't want to be standing next to the most hated man in the world.

Well, at least we won't have to see Tim Scott's gross gummy smile.

Well he's busy planning his escape... ooops, I mean, his wedding r118.

God told him that it's not the right time to start a family. There are so many sacrifices that he has to make for Jesus ahead of him, before he can lay down his Christian sword.

Can Usha fill Mother Pence's sensible Karen shoes? Let's hope we never find out....

Usha will be relegated to serving samosas and chutney at Mar-A-Lago. Do you really think the women in the Trump circle will give her the time of day?

How long until they demand Usha’s birth certificate?

Ugh. I hate this asshole is just a year younger than me. I was hoping Pete would be the first similarly aged Veep I'd see.

Ukraine has to be the biggest loser with this pick. He really hates Ukraine.

How have we fallen so far that so many people can overlook the fact that this guy read Trump like a book. Had his number. Knew exactly what he was doing “opiate for the masses” and “Hitler”. It’s so obvious that the guy is smart enough to see through Trump. He doesn’t like him, respect him or think he’s right for the country. He kissed the ring and did a 180 because he saw this was the only way to power. What a coward. If you can’t beat him, join him. And MAGA will disregard all earlier comments and consider him heaven sent.

We have such a clear and obvious example of someone out for himself. Someone who told us what is happening!! He said that Trumpsim is cultural heroin and now he’s going to stick in the needle. To his own people. And they are going to say thank you. Amazing. Amazing.

Trump upon finding out that JD Vance has a wife who isn't white, threw a plate with ketchup against the wall and screaming why didn't some one tell me Vance was married to a Nikki Haley clone..

JD Vance was a Marine? that must have been about 60 lbs ago.

fat faced fuck

Who here posted this? :)

I started watching that movie Hillbilly Elegy (based on his memoir) because it had Glenn Close and Amy Adams. I cut it off after 10 minutes, it sucked.

I prefer Mr. Angela Bassett

Don’t bring me into this. I was more progressive in 1950.

[quote]He look like a racist Care Bear

The elegy of fraud

A huge fuck you to his Italian base

He looks like someone who doesn’t drink coffee.

If husband is elected VP, Usha will be the first whatever she is SLOTUS.

I don't even know who the fuck he is.

Punchable face.

extremely

Normally one would pick the 2nd place finisher, but, his hatred for DeSantis is so profound and deep seated.

The only great scene in "Hillbilly Elegy" is Amy Adams (as J.D.'s mom, Bev) roller skating, while high as a kite, through the hospital corridors where she's supposed to be working as a nurse, as the soundtrack blasts Bananarama's "Cruel Summer." She reminded me a little of TV's Sweetheart Susan Richardson....

I hope none of the Vances end up anywhere near the White House, but if they do Bev should bring her roller-skates.

Excuse you r142!

JD and Usha are Kevin and Dianne we didn't know we needed in 2024.

R144 I mean really, please, no one, ever

What an extremely unlikable and anticlimactic pick

I hope they lose

This was the Musk/Thiel pick.

Vance has previously said that he is "a never Trump guy" who "never liked him" and thinks he is a "terrible candidate" who might be "America's Hitler." He added that he was a "noxious" and "reprehensible," "cynical a**hole" and "cultural heroine."

He also described those who voted for Trump as "idiots."

Forget all about your vitriol and get used to Trump being reelected and plan for that. At this point, it's a given. Just saying.

What's your plan R151?

I take it you never played on a sports team, R151.

Why doesn't Usha go by Uma instead?

Give up now! Give up now! Game over, man, game over!!!

[quote]Forget all about your vitriol and get used to Trump being reelected and plan for that. At this point, it's a given. Just saying.

Trump is peaking right now in July. The goodwill and the good news is not going to last.

Feel discouraged and don't you dare vote! What's the point??

Trump/Vance will have a convention bump and they will never lose it all the way to November. Wait and see. Biden won't get any bump (just like he didn't in the SOTU speech). We are screwed. Biden is not winning this. We are fucked.

Huh ignore one poster and all the 'we're screwed' 'we're fucked' posts disappear from every political thread.

Fuck that noise, R151. You can roll over and die quietly.

Those are evil gay eyes. What a weird looking man

JD Vance's wife looks like a tired looking hag.

There I said it.

they don't look compatible

The vizier or the Eye of Horus. Looks like an Egyptian with all that eye makeup

R163 If Usha comes from a wealthy family, maybe it's a beard arrangement.

His true love:

“J.D. said some bad things about me, but that was before he knew me,” Trump reflected on that night in Youngstown. “And then he fell in love."

Elon approves of Vance.

Breaking news:

"Elon Musk Has Said He Is Committing Around $45 Million a Month to a New Pro-Trump Super PAC - Wall Street Journal July 15, 2024 at 8:35 pm ET

Well, with Elon's management skills, I assume that means a Biden landslide.

^^^

She's a lawyer, apparently they met in law school

And Dee Plorable thinks some college professor in New York is 'the elite' that Trump and Co will handle?

Musk, Trump, Thiel, Yale.......how fucking stupid are these people.

R156 Yes. People's memories will fade about the shot and more will realize that Vance is the scarier of the two.

Looks like a young Archie Bunker.

Probably acts and thinks like young Archie would.

I saw an article today about how Silicon Valley loves Vance. He will eliminate all regulations and taxes for them.

[quote]Well, with Elon's management skills, I assume that means a Biden landslide.

You're right. What would the world's wealthiest man know about management.

It's so funny that MAGAts think that Trump is their religious savior who will banish the non-believers. When in reality, Trump is beholden to Silicon Valley, which is mostly atheist. All the tech billionaires are atheists.

Fuck off, R151. We’re just getting started!

R5- I wonder if he's still SUCKING COCK and getting FUCKED UP THE ASS.

[quote] We are screwed. Biden is not winning this. We are fucked.

Newsweek? I'm disappointed. What about Epoch Times? I really hope you're being paid in something other than beets and potatoes.

Borscht and vouchers for the orphanage?

I hate to say it, but he looks like the late, great Christopher Durang.

Bay Area Reporter mops Vance up. Apparently Log Cabin Republicans love Vance.

AH HA HA HA HA!

That slithering old vampire Murdoch has to bend over and take it up the ass and support Dump and Vance in his News Corp media. Boo fucking hoo. He can't die soon enough for my liking. Dump too.

I'd love it if Dump sent some of his "retaliation" crap Murdoch's way.

Thank god he’s white!

A huge Shoutout Fuckyou to all women and all diversity

Of all the rumored candidates, Vance seemed like the least likely pick. I don't understand what he adds to the ticket other than being a politically inexperienced sycophant.

Chalky Drywall

Splat 💥 , no bump from this hump

[quote] Of all the rumored candidates, Vance seemed like the least likely pick. I don't understand what he adds to the ticket other than being a politically inexperienced sycophant.

He brings in 180M in campaign donations from Elmo.

J.D. Vance Said Childfree Americans Shouldn't Have The Same Voting Power As Parents

How about people with hairy ass faces have no voting power whatsoever

Do twinks count, JD, if you're basically supporting them?

Asking for your mentor.

J.D. Vance Never Was and Never Will Be the Voice of Appalachia

He has a beard, R186. That’s manly. It’s the new fash (short for fascist) to wear a beard like Moses and Jesus Christ did. It shows you’re a Christian white man. As for the white man’s brown wife - they will explain it away as being very difficult for a brilliant white man like Vance, who was entrapped in the Ivy League. He could not find a suitably subservient white woman - all the elite intellekchule white women were woke and lib. They wanted abortions and litter boxes in middle schools. So he had to satisfy his manly urges with a brown woman, just like the bearded white men of the south over 100 years ago. It’s “our heritage. Heh, look how many of our great grandpas had a little you-know-what in the woodpile.”

R194 That may work if the brown wife was a meek, stay at home baby machine. But she's a highly educated lawyer who retained her own religion and her own identity. She's not popping out 10 Christian soldiers. Vance is a hypocrite. It's traditional marriage for thee but not for me. You people can raise 6 kids on dads 50,000 salary in Kentucky. Eat rice and beans and pray. Don't worry about college for the kids - it's a Marxist camp. Don't worry about healthcare - the Lord will cure a sick child if you pray enough. Don't worry about mom's well being - she'll be rewarded in the next life.

Meanwhile, we will live a secular life in the lap of luxury on 2 incomes with the very best education and healthcare.

What is someone questioning this? Look over there - trans! woke! socialist!

Pence ends in nce

Vance ends in nce

coincidence or not

[quote]She's not popping out 10 Christian soldiers

But it would certainly make for an interesting campaign video.

He's going to strike many voters as "off" though they may not be able to explain exactly why.

She sounds like a brown furner taking our jobs
