JD Vance breaks polling records!

[quote]the least-liked vice presidential candidate since 1980

Why was Mondale so disliked?

The new Sarah Paulin

Loser!

Oh, wait...

What a dumb move to choose him. Trump really is dumb.

Trump is not going to be happy about this, R3.

He's unstable enough to possibly dump Vance, if things don't get better.

He really hates losing (and losers).

I'm still number 1 with Meemah!

All the best people, Donald.

MAGT's think he's an elitist fraud who married Negro adjacent and sucks billionaire cock on the downlow. FAIL

Lol R8.

You summed that up quite nicely!

That is exactly why his polling numbers are so low.

He will be replaced by Nikki Haley. Oh wait, she's a brown woman, too.

I don't like him but I would lick his balls.

Vance-come mascara for luscious lashes

I vetted him well. He was the One. He is a great pic. That’s why I recommended him so highly to ,pops. Sorry I mean President Trump.

MAGA x 2 is what this country demands,

Who did they poll? GOP voters or everyone? (Honest question)

What ever JDs numbers are my bet is that they will dip a,little lower yet.

I think assuming Vance stays in much of the Dem ad campaign should be aimed at him. Hell everyone knows what Trump is. Make people ever more afraid of what his VP is.

Was Junior Jackass really the one who recommended JD Vance, R13?

If so, then now it all makes sense.

Junior just doesn't have the people instincts or the political instincts of his father. Junior is a failure in every way.

That Trump would trust him with selecting his VP, is kind of mind boggling, if true.

Junior is not only a major coke head, but he's dumb as shit too.

JD Vance or a Tesla Cybertruck?

He never should have gotten into politics.

He's gay. He should be off somewhere collaborating with Dolly Parton on writing Hillbilly Elegy the musical.

Ha! Good! Serves his fake ass right!

I hope he drags that whole shitty mess of a party into the depths of hell with him.

I thought Vance was picked so that whatever poor Mar-A-Largo staffer using MS Paint to "design" the Trump signs only had to replace two letters from Trump-Pence to Trump-Vance. Because that's just how cheap and ratchet his entire operation is.

They make a terrible picture as a pair. You’d think they’d make Trump pick some old GOP hack like Bush did Cheney.

Junior better steer clear, Dad might give him another whippin' for this.

I am sure that Vance is getting the cold shoulder within the campaign. That makes me happy.

JD Vance is truly fuggo.

R16 yes, as i have read their comments, Trump really was having a hard time deciding but Jr was Jr pushing them hard for Vance.

But Trump seems to then have fallen in love with JD so we cant give Jr all the credit.

hahahahahahahahahahaha. This has been the best week ever.

I wondered how long it would take Trump to turn on Vance. My guess now is any minute. And I'm living for it.

These morons keep thinking they will be the "special boy" who Trump will love. And he turns on them and humiliates them every goddamned time. And they still return to kiss is flabby ass.

This is going to be fun. And we so deserve it! Kamala's polls will continue to improve and we will get rid of these lunatics once and for all.

Since he only picks closeted gays for his VPs, maybe Miss Lindz should do the vetting?

[quote] Since he only picks closeted gays for his VPs

A trick he learned from his mentor Roy Cohn.

And what will be a lot worse than Trump regretting his choice of VP , is the fact that people will be discussing and writing a lot about trump regretting his VP , especially if the polls slip more.

It won’t be Trumps fault the polls dip we all know that.

But short of ill health on the part of Sgt Vance , Trump is stuck with him. There can be no divorce. Just recriminations and sadness :-)

He must be carried to term!

Unless the campaign gets him to resign as Eagleton did in 1972. The campaign is a pit of vipers so they can and will apply the pressure if niceties don't work, r30.

Put a woman on the ticket, Trump! Lauren Boebert or Marjorie Tayler Green would make excellent choices.

Huey Lewis said it best

“Stuck With You”

[quote] I don't like him but I would lick his balls.

Gay Boy r11! Have some standard!

[quote]He must be carried to term!

Except at the embarrassing end of this road there will be NO term...

Trump would have been better off with Kristi Noem.

And just think of Trumps blood pressure and stress if Harris does pick Kelly. A many times decorated combat vet that out ranked JD by a ton.

Then went to space

Trump will seethe and get more angry that his marine guy is not close to the Navy guy Harris has. And don’t bet that being a Marine was not a big selling point for JD.

[quote] Trump will seethe and get more angry that his marine guy is not close to the Navy guy Harris has. And don’t bet that being a Marine was not a big selling point for JD.

He wasn't much of a Marine.

[bold]After graduating from Middletown High School, Vance joined the U.S. Marine Corps, where he served from 2003 to 2007 as a combat correspondent, with six months in Iraq.[/bold]

If they try to dump Vance from the ticket *after* the convention then the GOP’s efforts to block Kamala from ballots because Biden dropped out *before* the convention instantly become losers for them.

Kelly would drive MTG crazy (let's pretend she isn't already) with his Irish space lasers.

[quote]The new Sarah Paulin

He actually polls worse if you can believe it. Trump's polling record with Vance gave him a -6% loss in support. Not even break even. It's worse than any other VP pick in the last 50 years.😂

So, DJT Jr will be locked in the basement and forced to go cold turkey? Will Kimbo make conjugal visits?

R39

The exact same shit the maga gop did to Al Gore who was a press pogue in VN for a few months. And Al highlighted he was a VN as he should if.

The scum maga many who never served a day in their life attacked and belittled Gores military service despite his serving in a war zone.. As Vance did.

UnAmerican scum that would do that.

JD was wonderful in Kiss Me, Kate.

R1

I was a tween but my memory is that he was considered kind of dweeby. He was a good, decent man and separately, his daughter Eleanor became a bit of a TV personality for a while.

[quote] Will Kimbo make conjugal visits?

She will be allowed one visit a week where she performs a lap dance to Gloria.

R31 hilarious!

It is always a mistake to pick a veep who is a double for Hans Holbein the younger. (Pictured in the article.)

Most look for balance on the ticket Trump looked for someone perfect—-a clone.

This is most certainly the fattest ticket since Taft/Sherman!

MILWAUKEE — With the clock ticking to the Republican National Convention last week, Donald Trump met privately to discuss his running mate search with two of his closest advisers: his sons.

The conversation quickly turned tense when the former president indicated that he was leaning toward Doug Burgum, until recently the largely unknown governor of North Dakota — but someone whose low-maintenance, no-drama personality would never threaten to outshine Trump.

That’s when Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump chimed in.

“Don Jr. and Eric went bats--- crazy: ‘Why would you do something so stupid? He offers us nothing,’” a longtime Republican operative familiar with the discussion told NBC News.

“They were basically all like ‘JD, JD, JD,’” the operative said.

Trump ratified his sons’ recommendation here Monday, selecting Sen. JD Vance of Ohio as his vice presidential candidate. Trump called Vance with the news 20 minutes before announcing it on social media, a source familiar with the call said.

In choosing Vance, Trump made a different calculation than he did in 2016 and leaned fully into his MAGA base. Back then, he looked to his daughter and her husband — the more establishment-friendly Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner — for strategic advice. This time, his red meat-throwing sons have a more central role. And instead of going with a longtime traditional Republican like Mike Pence, Trump chose the MAGA warrior Vance.

LOL. So Uday and Qusay helped torpedo their father's campaign. If it's what you say, I love it!

How many high paying tricks will Lara and Kimbo have to turn to make up for it?

R31, you made my day!

^ Melanie will have to brush off her pussy too.

Her pussy is waxed. Like any high end escort's.

Barron wax Mommy's poosey every night.

Another squishy faced idiot. Too few features for the expanse of face!

Kamala should do an ad where she feeds a whole lot of cats.

R60, she should do an ad where she feeds HIM to a whole lot of cats.

I kept seeing references to couches and Vance on Twitter. Now I understand

Couchfucker, A Hillybilly Elegy Story:

In the dim glow of the late afternoon sun through the trailer’s coal-dust stained windows cast its warm embrace upon the living room, J.D. found himself captivated by the soft, inviting curves of the worn-out couch.

It wasn't just a piece of furniture to him; it was a comforting presence, whispering promises of hidden delights through its frayed fabric and sagging cushions. His fingers traced the patterns of the upholstery, feeling an inexplicable connection, an intimacy that transcended the ordinary.

He often sat there for hours, losing himself in the tactile sensation of the fabric against his skin, the faint scents of his family’s history embedded in its fibers. It was an intersection, like his feelings during the annual family reunion, that combined shame and arousal.

J.D. had to admit it to himself; he was polyfurniamorous.

Everything in the room struck a deep chord of desire; his infatuations and lusts weren’t limited to the couch. The antique-styled melamine coffee table with its printed veneer surface stirred something deep within him. He admired the craftsmanship, the way each groove and edge seemed to beckon his touch.

On quiet evenings, he would pour himself a glass of corn liquor and sit by the table, imagining the hands that once crafted it, the lives it had silently observed. He knew the stains on its surface would tell many a tale of life in the holler, particularly under UV light.

The old armchair by the window held a special place in J.D.’s heart. It was where he felt the most at ease, the most understood. The chair's worn velour surface and creaky joints seemed to respond to his every move, almost as if it were alive, sharing his burdens and joys. He would sink into its embrace face down, feeling the weight of his troubles lift as he closed his eyes and let the chair cradle him.

In those moments of release, J.D. felt a deep, unspoken bond, a romance that defied the conventional, a love that was as enduring and unyielding as life in the holler itself.

He is literally a jerkoff.

Who would choose someone whose life story was a box office flop?

[quote]I kept seeing references to couches and Vance on Twitter. Now I understand

The thing I’m looking forward to the most is when all of these assholes from the GOP—the ones who know Trump is a lunatic but are groveling to him anyway—I’m looking at you JD Vance and Micky Haley and so many others—have their reputations destroyed after Trump loses. And he will lose, badly.

Everyone of these motherfuckers let their blind ambition put the entire world at jeopardy for kissing the ass of this psycho.

The MAGA are complete dumb dumbs who keep voting against their best interests to worship at Trump’s feet. I can almost forgive them because they’re so clearly beyond stupid.

But people like Vance and Haley and the others are well educated and have already know that they’ve got Trump’s number. And, yet, they are giving him legitimacy. I want them destroyed almost more than I want Trump bankrupt and living in the streets.

Stay away from staircases, Vance.

ROFL at R65!!!

That is fucking BRUTAL.

He looks positively creepy. It's the kind of face you see in those "Evil Lives Here" stories on ID. You know, the kind of guy who kept sex slaves in the basement for years.

J D ‘’Vivian’’ Vance-what a scary piece of hypocritical shit.

What a loser!

Kween has had more aliases than moi

^ In 1985 changed his name to Ryan Idol

And we thought George Santos was the biggest liar and con artist within the MAGA ranks. This guy is doing the same thing but on a much higher and more lucrative level.

[quote] I think assuming Vance stays in much of the Dem ad campaign should be aimed at him.

The Democrats should say, "If you vote for Trump, you're actually getting JD Vance as president because Trump is a tired, old man who probably won't make it through a full term." Sound familiar?

And to think those two retarded stray Trump sperms were the ones talking him into picking this guy... Oh, it's so fucking DELICIOUS!!

Amateur

Fucking hold me David !

Maybe he can get a job as a spokesperson for mascara.

He follows "race scientists" like Curtis Yarvin, Steve Sailer, and Richard Hanania who think blacks have lower IQs than whites 🙄

I wonder when the media will focus more on this...

Harry Enten says:

JD Vance is making history as the least liked VP nominee (non-incumbent) since 1980 following his/her party's convention. He's the first to have a net negative favorable rating.

Not surprising given how weak he ran in Ohio in 2022. Far worse than the average Ohio Republican.

Vance should be the dem target. Make the entire country sick and afraid of Vance. Make gop ashamed he was picked.

Fuck trump everyone knows what trump is.

Can they replace them? Trump will never admit a mistake. If they do they’d likely make up some lie like he has an illness or something. But no matter what they say, replacing him makes them look weak. And replace him with what? Doug Bergum? That’s not going to generate any excitement.

It’ll be hilarious if Trump selects two VPs before Kamala even selects one.

If he replaces Vance, Kamala should select Pete Buttigieg. That’s an unbeatable ticket. And it seems like there are vetting problems with Kelly and Shapiro. I don’t think there’s much point to selecting Besher because he’ll never deliver Kentucky anyway. She should select Pete.

Keep the receipts?

[quote]And it seems like there are vetting problems with Kelly and Shapiro.

Like what?

R86 a great question. There are also vetting problems with Harris claim more than a few on DL.

There would be getting problems with 100% of DL

With that raccoon eye makeup I can picture him washing his food in the Potomac.

R87, try it again, but this time run it through the Google Translate (Russian->English, Chinese->English, whatever)

Sorry R87 I figured most were smart enough to understand without me insulting their intelligence that getting problems should have been vetting problems.

Sorry you missed that or could not figure that out..

[quote] Trump really is dumb.

Someone needs to put this on a video billboard outside Mar-a-Lardo and let it play 24/7.

Can you image if Trump did drop him? He would be one bitter queen on a rampage. Wouldn't surprise me if he goes back never-Trumper. But that of course would hold no water now.

If Trump drops out it will mean he has agreed to an immunity deal.

Trump is not dropping out. He's like a bad case of anal warts that refuse to go away.

What do you expect when garbage people pick garbage people?

Trump can’t drop out. He’s running for his life. It’s either the WH or a life behind bars. And it’s looking more and more like the latter.

R96 knows a lot of white collar criminals that are sent to prison for life.

[quote] And it seems like there are vetting problems with Kelly and Shapiro.

As Vice President Kamala Harris, now the presumptive Democratic nominee, picks her running mate, some of her options may have problems within key coalitions of the Democratic Party.

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) are reportedly Harris’s two top picks, but parts of their past while in office may be unappealing to factions of the Left. Harris ran a progressive campaign during her 2020 run but has toned down some of her ideas while in the White House, and it is unclear how progressive of a campaign she plans to run this year.

Kelly and Shapiro bring Harris the opportunity to win two crucial swing states, Arizona and Pennsylvania, but as they are vetted on the national stage, some Democrats may be wary of them.

While Kelly has only been in office for four years, he has won two statewide elections in Arizona after filling John McCain’s seat after he died. His time in office has been relatively quiet, with little public controversy.

Kelly, however, has not signed on to a key piece of labor legislation, which could spell trouble for the ticket’s support from labor unions. Some union officials told ABC News that Kelly’s unwillingness to support the PRO Act, a piece of legislation that looks to make the path toward forming unions and winning labor contracts easier, should be a red flag.

"Why would the Democrats even consider a senator for the vice presidency if the senator doesn't support the PRO Act?" said John Samuelsen, president of the Transport Workers Union and an ally of President Joe Biden. "It's the most important piece of national legislation workers have right now."

Of the 51 Senate Democrats, 48 support the PRO Act. Kelly has said he supports the legislation’s goals but has “some concerns.” During his 2022 Senate run, Kelly was backed by several Arizona labor unions.

"Only 3 Democrats refused to sign on to the PRO Act, one of whom was Mark Kelly," Richard Bensinger, former organizing director at the AFL-CIO, said on Sunday after Harris announced her candidacy. "The right to organize unions is the most important thing to labor so that's a hard no."

The Biden-Harris administration has strongly supported unions as Biden has throughout his political career. On Monday, the AFL-CIO, which is the biggest federation of unions in the United States and has long supported Biden, announced its endorsement of Harris.

“From day one, Vice President Kamala Harris has been a true partner in leading the most pro-labor administration in history,” AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler said. “At every step in her distinguished career in public office, she’s proven herself a principled and tenacious fighter for working people and a visionary leader we can count on. From taking on Wall Street and corporate greed to leading efforts to expand affordable child care and support vulnerable workers, she’s shown time and again that she’s on our side.”

Shapiro is popular in Pennsylvania, according to a May poll from the Philadelphia Inquirer, New York Times, and Siena College, which found 57% of residents approving of his leadership. His popularity spans different parties, as the poll found 77% of Democrats, 42% of Republicans, and 39% of independents approve of Shapiro’s time in office.

But he may prove to be unpopular with coalitions of the Democratic Party for his stances on Israel and school vouchers.

Shapiro, who is Jewish, has been steadfast in his support for Israel throughout the Israel-Hamas war, which could alienate a vocal part of the Left that has backed anti-Israel stances since the Oct. 7 attacks.

"Israel not only has a right, they have a responsibility to rid the region of Hamas and the terror that Hamas can perpetrate," Shapiro said in December, calling on the U.S. to "help support the Israeli people once the battle is over in finding their footing again."

He has also been criticized by the Council on American-Islamic Relations and 43 Pennsylvania Muslim organizations for refusing to call for a ceasefire in the region as other Democrats have done.

"At a time when governors of California and New Jersey have underlined in public statements their support for a ceasefire in Gaza, Gov. Shapiro has failed to do that," the statement from CAIR read.

"His attacks on academic freedom, intentionally depicting protests in a negative light, failure to care for and listen to Palestinian Pennsylvanians whose families are being massacred day in and out by Israeli government, and his behind-the-scenes antagonization of community organizations cannot be ignored and easily forgiven," the statement continued.

It is unclear exactly how Harris will approach Israel, but she has proven sympathetic to the loss of life in the Gaza Strip due to the war. While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in Washington this week, she plans to meet with him privately and skip his congressional address.

When Shapiro ran for governor in 2022, he touted his support for Lifeline Scholarships, a school voucher program that would give students in low-performing school districts vouchers for private schools. School vouchers have been a Republican ideal for some time, and many Democrats have been opposed to the program.

While in office, he faced pressure from Democratic lawmakers and backed down on supporting school vouchers by removing them from the state budget, which angered Pennsylvania Republican lawmakers with whom he negotiated the budget.

Some believe his support for vouchers could “pave his way to the White House” as a centrist, but others see Shapiro's support as isolating the pro-public school and pro-teachers union faction of the party.

To add on to what R99 posted, Kamala has actually put out several statements about the need to stop killing civilians in Gaza, and to stop the attacks on them.

I can't imagine having a President and a Vice-President at odds on such a major policy issue.

[quote]Let me be also very clear, as I’ve said before: We cannot conflate Hamas with the Palestinian people. Hamas is a brutal terrorist organization. Hamas has vowed to repeat October 7 until Israel is annihilated.

[quote] No nation could possibly live with such danger, which is why we support Israel’s legitimate military objectives to eliminate the threat of Hamas.

[quote] President Biden and I have also been clear with the Israeli government in public and in private many times: As Israel defends itself, it matters how.

[quote] The United States is unequivocal: International humanitarian law must be respected. Too many innocent Palestinians have been killed. Frankly, the scale of civilian suffering and the images and videos coming from Gaza are devastating.

[quote] I have spoken with members of the Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim communities of America, including those who have lost loved ones in Gaza and American citizens who were injured and evacuated from Gaza. It is truly heartbreaking.

[quote] As Israel pursues its military objectives in Gaza, we believe Israel must do more to protect innocent civilians.

[quote] So, we all want this conflict to end as soon as possible. And to ensure Israel’s security and ensure security for the Palestinian people, we must accelerate efforts to build an enduring peace. And that begins with planning for what happens the day after the fighting ends.

This is why is has to be Beshear, Kelly, or Mayor Pete.

She can't have the Vice-President undermining her, and you know that's what Shapiro would do.

If Kelly would sign on to support the PRO Act, all would be well. Also, he's butch, tough and and a former Navy astronaut. That should get the old people's vote.

And if something ever happens to VP astronaut fighter pilot Kelly and he can’t do the job they could just sneak his twin into the office who was also a Naval Spaceman.

Young people seemed to like the Top Gun movies R101.

He does look like Herve Villechaize aka Tattoo from Fantasy Island.

And what's the deal with all his name changes?

From Mrs. Betty Bowers post on X:

He was born “James Donald Bowman” As a teen, he changed that to “James David Bowman” In the senior yearbook, he is “James Hamel” On his marriage certificate, he is “James David Vance” On his book cover, he is “J. D. Vance”

[quote] He was born “James Donald Bowman” As a teen, he changed that to “James David Bowman” In the senior yearbook, he is “James Hamel” On his marriage certificate, he is “James David Vance” On his book cover, he is “J. D. Vance”

I predict that inevitably, his name will be Jenna Diane Bowman-Vance, after he transitions.

So far, he's just been easing his way into it.

Then "she'll" ask Usha to be "her" lesbian wife.

So far Vance has not changed his views on abortion but he gives an interesting answer why his views on abortion are not important —-he is not running for president He is running for VP. His views are not important.

I’d hang that statement around his neck in ads with the mention that his running mate is both really old and fat.

[quote]This is why is has to be Beshear, Kelly, or Mayor Pete.

They’ve said that Roy Cooper (Gov., NC) is also a strong possibility as well.

Good News!!!!

Sen. Mark Kelly (Ariz.), a contender to become Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate on the Democratic presidential ticket, told HuffPost on Wednesday that he would vote in favor of the pro-union legislation known as the Protecting the Right to Organize Act.

Kelly’s lack of full commitment to the PRO Act, as it’s known, has stood as a possible barrier to him becoming Democrats’ vice-presidential nominee, since labor unions are a crucial part of the Democratic coalition. Harris has become the presumptive nominee since President Joe Biden withdrew from the race on Sunday.

“Why would the Democrats even consider a senator for the vice presidency if the senator doesn’t support the PRO Act?” John Samuelsen, president of the Transport Workers Union, told ABC News.

But Kelly on Wednesday made clear in an interview with HuffPost that he would support the bill if it came to the Senate floor, affirming enthusiastic support for labor unions. He is not listed as a co-sponsor on the Senate’s most recent version.

“Unions loom large in our life, and I’m supportive of the PRO Act,” Kelly said, recounting how when his mother, a police officer, was injured, her union helped her recover.

“I would have voted for it on Day 1,” he added of the bill. “I would vote for it today. I am, like a lot of legislation, working to make it better. But if it came to the floor today or any day going back to the day I was sworn in, I would vote for it.”

The PRO Act amounts to a sweeping overhaul of labor law that Democrats believe would make it easier for workers to form unions and bargain with their employers.

Among other measures, the legislation would create stiff financial penalties for illegal union-busting; ban anti-union “captive audience” meetings at work; make it easier for newly unionized workers to secure their first contracts; nullify state right-to-work laws; and bar employers from permanently replacing strikers.

But the bill has not drawn unanimous support within the Democratic caucus.

Kelly previously expressed concerns to HuffPost in 2021 regarding a provision that would extend collective-bargaining rights to “independent contractors” — a measure many business groups strongly oppose.

At the time, Kelly said he would “like to see some changes” to the bill, saying only that he was open to passing certain parts of the PRO Act through a process known as reconciliation.

“Depending on how it’s done, I’m not necessarily opposed to that,” he said then.

Kelly is among several Democrats being mentioned as Harris’ potential running mate. The former fighter pilot and astronaut has a strong resume and could help Democrats win Arizona, a key swing state. He’s been a reliable Democratic vote in the Senate, and his vocal embrace of the PRO Act now, amid speculation about higher office, could be a sign of his interest in the job.

The senator declined to answer multiple questions earlier this week about whether he’s been asked by Harris’ campaign to submit documents vetting his potential candidacy, a prerequisite for any candidate. “Kamala Harris is going to be the nominee, she’s the right person for this job, and I’m gonna work really hard to make sure that we don’t see Donald Trump back in the White House,” is all Kelly would tell HuffPost on Tuesday.

Other Senate Democrats heaped praise on Kelly as a vice presidential contender on Wednesday, highlighting his NASA background.

“Obviously, I know Mark Kelly, I think he’d be phenomenal,” Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) said. “Not because he’s a centrist but because he’s an extraordinary leader that is literally out of this world.”

R107 shocked. Absolutely shocked said no one ever. I was wondering how long it would take him.

Weird, R107.

So has Kelly given any explanation for why he didn't support it in the first place

But now that he's being considered for VP, he changed his mind.

That's fishy.

Are you familiar with the term 'realpolitik', R109?

Yes R109, if you read the article you would have found "Kelly previously expressed concerns to HuffPost in 2021 regarding a provision that would extend collective-bargaining rights to “independent contractors” — a measure many business groups strongly oppose."

R107 Personally I am upset someone would change a previous position just to get on the ticket. This should make him them unfit for the office. Americans should not stand for this.

I think we should have both Kelly's tag team the VP! Double the Pleasure, Double the Fun!!!

It seems like Trump picked someone who looks alpha, but understands his place is never to take the spotlight off the boss.

[quote] It seems like Trump picked someone who looks alpha

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

R114, you spelled alfalfa wrong.

Donald Trump picked someone , based on his boys strong recommendation, who reminded him of a great national leader and politician named Donald Trump..

Guyliner is alpha R114?

He got a purty nouth, don’t he?

R104 Amateur.

LOOKS alpha, but isn’t…

Good giggle.

Your Daddy needs a long rest.

I know he's not on the short list, but forget about the gay thing, Pete is a disrupter, and he's young. The youth vote would love that, so would the left as Kamala will modulate to the center.

As for "America wont vote for a gay man" thing, stop repeating Russian talking points. They said that about Obama with the middle name of Hussein. More importantly, I think his time in the military cancels out the fears of gayness. Lets be honest, homophobs are afraid of gays who act like women, Yass Queens. The gays who can pass for straight are often given the pass. Pete is that guy, some people didn't even know he was gay when he ran for president and won the Iowa caucus.

Trump may be unhappy with any Harris VP pick but if it is Kelly, Trump could have a heart attack. Kelly makes Vance appear smaller. Not quite like his bitch just smaller and no longer a big deal service wise.

And that will bother Trump as much as anything,

[quote]r22 JD Vance is truly fuggo.

He has major Resting Bitch Face in OP’s pic.

Can’t he even try to hide it?

IMO Kelly's reversal on the labor legislation has pretty much sealed his nomination. He also brings Gabby Giffords along to the campaign. I don't know how she's doing physically, but she looked really well in a recent picture. She'd be a tremendous asset.

He will also bring lots of military vets with military hats sitting behind him when he talks. And if people don’t think that is an asset you do not understand america.

Kelly is as badass as a man can be.

Oh my I now hear the Swifties are really mad at JD for something. If I was a trump son I might stay away from pops for a while.

Their pick for VP is taking a while to get his footing.

Has Vance been seen in public in the last couple of days?

Mrs. Betty Bowers captioned this photo on X:

"Closet Case Carpool"

LOL

R132 The Dems should make that an add without any words or comments JHC that was funny

I'm sure James David and Lindsey Belle were just trading makeup tips.

Or escort reviews.

Vance is Peter Thiel's creation and Trump NEEDS Peter Thiel's money. Trump can NEVER admit he was wrong. Behind the scenes Vance would have to be forced to deliver a resignation on some bogus, made-up issue, like a family illness, that would give Trump a way out, if Peter Thiel would allow it. VP candidates have resigned before.

He dumps Jimmy and he loses the broligarch $

And he desperately needs cash, since he’s drained the RNC coffers to pay for his legal bills. That KEEP piling up.

[quote]Vance is Peter Thiel's creation and Trump NEEDS Peter Thiel's money.

Indeed, Trump should be more concerned that the broligarchs may decide that JD is their man for the presidency after Trump wins. He fits their style much better than Trump, and he doesn't need everything to be dumbed down. (Although the Russians simply hand Trump an envelope with cash immediately upon meeting him and everything goes smoothly afterward. True, by the way.)

On a related note, it appears that the tech billionaires are experiencing some disarray. Molly Jong-Fast reports instances of broligarch-on-broligarch conflict in San Francisco.

[quote] Oh my I now hear the Swifties are really mad at JD for something.

I think it was the "Kamala is a lonely old cat lady" comment.

Apparently, Taylor Swift loves cats, so........ you know. That means he attacked Taylor Swift too.

Because they're insane.

Thank God they are, R139. They'll regret the day they started an online feud with Swifties.

Can’t stand the Swifties cult, but the enemy of my enemy is my friend I guess. 🤷‍♂️

[quote] Because they're insane

In a most delightful way...

Remember this: we are primates. Chimps live in tribes. The tribes have wars. Are we any different? Sure we can reason, but the chimp tribal warfare behavior is *still* happening in spite of our having reason and self-awareness, modern civilization, high standard of living, none of these change the primate behavior patterns. Hopefully if she pulls out the victory, their tribe goes away for a while. I’m so sick of the warfare with these monkeys.

Beshear apologizes.

The NYTimes/Siena poll published July 25th has this to say about Vance and Harris's favorability.

"Tell me whether you have a very favorable, somewhat favorable, somewhat unfavorable or very unfavorable opinion of Kamala"

Her "very unfavorable" rating is 38%

...........................

"Tell me whether you have a very favorable, somewhat favorable, somewhat unfavorable or very unfavorable opinion of JD Vance."

His "very unfavorable" rating is 26%

............................

Harris does better than Vance in the "very favorable, somewhat favorable" category but she's much more strongly disliked. This could be because Vance just isn't all that well known yet. Polling numbers will certainly change over time but at the moment his numbers aren't as dire as the CNN poll posted at the top of the thread.

[quote]Harris does better than Vance in the "very favorable, somewhat favorable" category but she's much more strongly disliked. This could be because Vance just isn't all that well known yet.

Yes, Vance is much more disliked in Ohio than he is nationally. at the moment. They know him. America will follow suit.

Vance unlike trump is a True Believer. He won’t be able to help himself no matter how hard he tries to moderate his words.

The dem ad campaign should be aimed at JD. Make America afraid of JD . The man who will be potus if Trump wins.

And anyone that thinks this , did JD Vance have sex with a couch business , is going to be his worst problem with Trump is wrong.

Although Trump is wondering why Jr and Fredo did not alert him to a possible JD Vance sex problem when he was vetted..

In the end JD will be found innocent. His was more an Obama like musing wondering about the exotic..

MAGAts don't care about Trump's multiple rapes and very close friendship with Epstein, so JD being a sofaphile probably doesn't faze them. If only he had admitted to sex with farm animals or a cousin, so they could find him more relatable.

Not so R149 . I knew lots of men while in the military that knew some young boy that had sex with a farm animal. None of them of course but guys they knew :-)

Cousins as well. As long as they were cute. None not even Marines, did any of them ever claim they or anyone they knew ever had sex with a. Couch.

On a couch is fine with a couch even Marines will think is nuts. But right now it’s just a lot of articles on line asking the question.

None will find any proof

[QUOTE]In the end JD will be found innocent. His was more an Obama like musing wondering about the exotic..

What's so exotic about couches? There's at least one in almost every household.

For some people my dirty old flip-flops would be exotic.

For some people, dolphin porn is exotic. Couch is already old news.

“I never had sex with that couch”

Who says the trumps don’t know how to pick them.

I still can’t understand why the idiots in Ohio voted for this fucking phony.

He’s a fucking embarrassment to the state. Ranks right up there with that fuckwit Tuberville.

It was Trump's endorsement of JD for Senate that helped him win that election.

Without Trump, JD would not now be a Senator.

What did Thiel and the other tech oligarchs see in him? Are they so imperceptive they didn't notice his enormous social skills deficits and unpopular to stupid positions? They don't have great social skills themselves, but this guy makes DeSantis all warm and relateable. I wonder what's going through their minds watching his debacle.

My theory is that these Libertarian neofascist tech bro billionaires, live in a reality which doesn't truly intersect with how the vast majority of the population sees the society and its needs. That kind of money shields you from 99.99% of real life concerns. They do not consume media, they exist in their own little echo chambers of their fanbois who tell them how brilliant they are since they made all that money. They see themselves as these missionaries who bring civilization to underdeveloped tribes and who should, rightfully (in their minds) shape the society to fit their vision. Thiel, Mark Andreessen, Musk and a few others all subscribe to this strange ideology which is basically medieval feudalism of untouchable ruling techno "disrupter" classes and little people (the rest of us) are there benefitting from their visionary benevolence, until we are replaced by AI. And we are on our own, since the society is a loose association of individuals who are naturally at each other's throats, fighting for the survival of the fittest. Basically, social Darwinism and everything it entails: eugenics and social hierarchies (men-strong, women -weak; hetero-good, produces more serfs, gay - bad, doesn't contribute to the society.) And everything decentralized: cryptocurrencies, no social programs, etc. Add some weird paleo-Catholic vision of Christianity to that and you get Thiel and JD Vance. JD Vance looks like someone who made a gradual transition to that worldview and was, in all likelihood, groomed by Thiel all the way, until was fully red-pilled.

His tech brother's platform is chock full of couch memes, now this.

“I never had sex with that fish”

I have searched for a lot of crazy stuff on line but dolphin sex with women is just a line I never crossed.

This Shillbilly adds nothing to the ticket. Haha!

The Opus Dei connection. This is all so weird and mind-blowing.

Catholic priest Arne Panula became “close friends” with Peter Thiel, while Thiel was a young, gay student at Stanford.

Panula went on to head Opus Dei & founded CIC & Leonine Forum.

Leonard Leo, who put SIX frauds on the Supreme Court, is a member of Opus Dei & Knights of Malta, and was on the Boards of both CIC and Leonine Forum.

Vance won the Senate seat for these reasons:

1. No one knew who he was except the author of a book made into a somewhat known film.

2. $$$$$$$$

3. Trump endorsement

4. A terrible campaign by Tim Ryan, who was best known as a fiery critic of the MAGAts. He ran against China rather than his opponent and his party.

[quote] I still can’t understand why the idiots in Ohio voted for this fucking phony.

R164 I was just about to say that I can't believe they chose this couch fucker over Tim Ryan!

Tim is so hot.

Hey JD, lets go fishing!

Can I come too? I got lotsa worms.

Vance has tattooed eyeliner!

"Vance should be a Dem target"

Not if they want to win.

[quote] And just think of Trumps blood pressure and stress if Harris does pick Kelly. A many times decorated combat vet that out ranked JD by a ton.

GOP does not sweat war heroes. They took down John Kerry with Dubya, who skittered out of his National Guard service, and they blew away Max Cleland who lost 3 limbs in Vietnam. And Trump got elected after saying “I like people who don’t get captured” about John McCain.

Don’t know why anyone thinks they will be fased by anything military or heroic, They accused Max Cleland of blowing his own legs and arm off because he was drunk and playing with a hand grenade (untrue, but they defeated him) and they elected Bone Spurs after he dissed a guy who spent 5 years in the Hanoi Hilton.

Trump will give Kelly a nickname like Rocket Man and probably make fun of his wife for talking funny,

You know nothing about US politics if you think Trump and Co will be cowed by anyone’s record. They took down both Vindman brothers, denied their promotions and won against Alexander Vindman in court because, according to the judge, “political hackery isn’t against the law.”

R170

Let me rephrase so you will understand

I said trump would be upset that his pogue non combat Marine is now upstaged by a legit national combat hero. You can argue trump would not care but then you would be wrong.

“I was a Marine what did you do” is a big part of Jds bio and appeal to trump..

But left and right will attack our military service vets if they see a chance to take a shot at the other side. It’s now the American way draft dodging cowardly non servers attacking service members for political gain.

That’s America

Trump absolutely does not care that Kelly is a war veteran. Trump’s most basic belief for his entire life is that he is better than everyone else and that he is always right. And can we blame him? He’s always been a narcissistic pathological liar and a business buffoon, yet he’s managed to get the media to suck his cock for 50 years. He won the US presidency , the most powerful job on the planet, while stumbling, fumbling and lying outrageously every minute of the day.

He goes on the most watched television programs in the country and tells easily disproven lies, but media does not challenge him. Instead they say, “Yeah, but the other guy is old.”

I don’t believe Trump fears anyone because he so deeply believes in himself and his ability to overcome everything. After losing one billion dollars, he was given a prime time television series portraying him as a financial whiz. After trying to violently and illegally overthrow the US government, he’s running again for reelection.

He’s cheated on all his wives…he pays women off. He paid Stormy Daniels off. Is he in jail. No. He sexually assaulted numerous women and a judge found that he sexually assaulted E Jean Carroll. Is he in jail? No.

He committed massive tax fraud in NY state. Is he in jail? Nope

He’s been found guilty of violating money laundering laws over 100 times in NJ. He was fined a minuscule amount. Did he pay the fine? No. He had the fine discharged in the Taj Mahal bankruptcy.

He refused to pay hundreds of small businessmen, illegal Polish workers, his lawyers. He’s been involved in 3,000 lawsuits. In jail? No.

Trump university was fraud. He stole from children with cancer. He killed the AFL, destroyed Eastern Airlines and you and I know he was elected with Russian money and with Russian spy fuckery via Wikileaks Dem server hack. Is he in jail? No.

Why would he be afraid of *anybody* when he’s been criming and getting away with it for decades while the limp medial blows him?

Trump is not afraid of anyone with military medals. He told John Kelly, a Marine Corps general whose own son died in combat, that he thinks people in the military are losers. Wouldn’t you be afraid a Marine might punch you in the face for disparaging him and his son? I would. But Trump wasn’t afraid because he knew Kelly wouldn’t touch him and he knew that if word got out about what he’d said, he’d just deny it and carry on.

He was right. Nothing happened.

So sad but so true r172.

the democrats need to hammer home that JD Vance is only a heartbeat away from the presidency and will most likely end up havlng to take over the presidency. Keep reminding people that Trumps is 78

DonOld

MAGA does not care if JD takes over for Trump. He's like a Trumpian miniMe.

Without showmanship. And that counts for lot in the MAGAverse.

Even Meghan McCain is in a fight with him now? This is not going well.

I saw a post that his book is just hin whining about being treated as an outsider in his family, his town, the marines, Yale and never once realizing he's the actual problem.

McCain “loves” Kelly , like her dad did, a lot and likely hates Vance. She is as objective as I am on those two.

I don’t thinks it’s possible to take over from trump in MAGA world. Sure, they wouldn’t mind if JD took over and won the election but they would follow Trump, not JD. Trump would still meet leaders down in MAL. Lawmakers would be down there kissing his ring and bowing to his whims. The fundies would still believe that he was anointed by father god. He would be the shadow president and JD, or JP Mandel as he calls him, would be nothing more than his puppet. The 2028 candidate will face the same problems. The orange shadow will be present. If he loses the Republicans and the media have to ditch him. His personality cult is a scourge to both parties.

MAGA will never, never leave Trump. 2028? Learned their lesson and need to leave him? How high are you? Trump is not going away until it's in a pine box. All we can do is prey for Stroke, Heart Attack, Accident or another shooter. Or prison, but I have no doubts he will draw that out another 4 years. He's managed to do it so far.

It will. be just like the communist party. Lenin dies and the Party died. It might take some time for the wake but in the end…

That's what I said, MAGA will not give up until Trump is gone. Until then, even in 2028, if he is still alive, they will still retain control of what was the Republican party. They will not abandon Trump in an attempt to win back power an election with new blood. Not without Trump or Trump's blessing.

Trump has alas at least ten more years on this mortal coil.

You think Trump will live to 90? On KFC?

The far right hates the progressive libs and alleged elites a lot more than they love the trumps. That hate started long before trump it will last long after trump.

"THINK OF THE RATINGS!!!!!!"

Everyday Vance is on the ticket the harder it becomes to replace him barring him dropping out, death or incapacity. There are deadlines in states and they are not consistently the same date. Remember they already signed and sealed the nomination. If he drops out/replaced it looks weak and bad for the Trump campaign and is an admission of Kamala's new PR criticism: Trump and Gang are just plain weird. But if it happens it has to happen soon. Trump is running FROM jail and accountability more than he is running FOR office, so expect anything.

Every time I see the thread, the title registers as "JD Vance trolling records!"

The most unpopular VP pick in the history of polling. He is a record setter.

[quote] Everyday Vance is on the ticket the harder it becomes to replace him barring him dropping out, death or incapacity. There are deadlines in states and they are not consistently the same date.

I know that hypocrisy has never stopped them before, but the Republicans would look like complete hypocrites if they tried to replace Vance AFTER he was nominated, when they've spent the past few weeks claiming (falsely) that even if Biden voluntarily withdrew BEFORE being nominated, it would disrupt the ballots and invite lawsuits.

R192 Yes, very true. The GOP is left with two bad choices!

'Cat lady' Chelsea Handler destroys Republican VP pick J D Vance in hilarious, epic rant 😂

Trump can't replace him now. If he does, it shows a campaign in utter chaos. It would show that Trump is a terrible leader who can't be trusted to make critical decisions for our country, like who's second in line for the presidency. Republicans won't care, but it would severely hurt him with Independent voters.

Devine & Kopko:

Our research shows running mates matter, above all else, by shaping how voters view the presidential candidate who selects them. Running mates indirectly influence voter choice by changing perceptions of the presidential candidate — which, in turn, changes votes.

In the 2008 presidential election, for example, there was reason to question Palin’s readiness to serve as president. Biden, however, brought needed experience to the ticket headed by then-freshman Sen. Barack Obama. In both cases, voters noticed. Voters who doubted Palin’s experience were more likely to doubt McCain’s judgment — and less likely to vote for the Republican ticket. They also were more likely to believe that McCain was too old to be president.

Who should Hillz have chosen for running mate? I can barely remember anything about Tim Kaine

He becomes more authentic with each passing day!

[quote]you and I know he was elected with Russian money and with Russian spy fuckery via Wikileaks Dem server hack. Is he in jail? No.

New article from Rolling Stone:

John Oliver made a great point about the cat lady thing too - he said you don't have to have children to care about humanity. Lack of empathy correlates highly with being a Repug - they can't wrap their head around caring for other people outside of their immediate family.

Exactly. It’s the same as dimwits claiming you need the Bible to teach you how to be a good person.

You don’t need a book to tell you not to cheat and murder people!

Only WEIRDOS need a book for that.

“JD Vance” sounds like the frat-douche villain in an 80s teen comedy.

Does he actually wear eyeliner, or does he just have dark lashes?

R199. it's the same way Christians are incredulous that as an atheist, I'm not raping and pillaging because sky daddy isn't watching

Some people just weren’t raised right, were they?

They always need fear to behave. Not just wanting to be a decent person for the sake of it.

[quote] Lack of empathy correlates highly with being a Repug - they can't wrap their head around caring for other people outside of their immediate family.

That's a core value or trait of Republicans. It's not a belief system it's how they are wired. If they know you personally like a family member or friend, they care about you, but if they never met you every man for himself. That's why many of them will maybe have a gay friend but still vote against any kind of LGBT rights.

You're different to them because they know you, but all those other gays are disgusting, flaunting their sexuality in public.

I think the NYC Sanitation Dept won Vance Couch Stakes.

Have a couch you just...don't love anymore? Set it out the night before your TRASH ONLY (not recycling) collection day.

This article analyzes the prayers said at Trump rallies. I cannot believe they tried to blame Dems for dangerous rhetoric when they have pastors saying:

'And when Donald Trump becomes the 47th president of the United States, there will be retribution against all those who have promoted evil in this country'

and

'This is a time for spiritual warriors to arise and to shake the heavens.”

and

'We’re fighting the real enemy that comes from the gates of hell, led by one of its leaders called Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.”

Newly Catholic JD Vance an and his Hindu wife better believe that these people are not on their side. They are bonded for now by common enemies, that's it. If these lunatic pastors got their way Usha would be one of the first up for 'retribution'.

🙏 for little Vivek Vance. Those MAGA warriors will tear him apart!

He’s so disliked, even the bathhouse hoes turn away.

Speaking of a different Vivek, what happened to that idiot? I haven't heard anything in a while.

R211, Vivek went the way of Bobby Jindal--sad, broken and forgotten.

Vivek keeps talking shit. Hoping to be vp.

Someone should tell him that dhow has sailed, R213.

Someone replied, [italic]”What are the laws re alimony as it applies to ex-sofas in NY” - James Davenport Vance

Vance sent on a cleanup assignment.

He may need a bigger mop.

The were going to put JD in charge of secret group chats with big time donors informing them how friggin well the campaign is going.

Baaaaaaaaa

No one ever listens to her.

I was wrong but then I was thinking that winning the election would be their main goal. Fuckers will regret ignoring my insight.

"I don't want a gentleman caller who'd be more interested in my fainting couch than me!"

Truth is coming out that his Silicon Valley tech bros he worked with say he didn't work at all. One said he never even saw him in the office. Another one fired him for the same thing. Another company that he did a deal some work with filed for bankruptcy.

I know Venture Capitalist, JD, you are no Venture Capitalist - Mitt Romney

Clowns gonna clown.

JD Smithers

R223 - Yes. He started his own venture capital company. Invested in one company that went bankrupt. The End. It's like Madison Cawthorne having a 'real estate investment firm' when his dad bought an empty lot.

Helpful as ever...

[quote]“it’s time to circle the wagons and load the muskets.”

I just hope there's still mascara available after this new American Revolution that Project 2025 and the Heritage Foundation are advocating.

Pete tell them to go fuck themselves if they try to remove you from the ticket. Tell them you are no quieter like Biden.. You are a Marine. You are going nowhere. Stay strong you have been an absolute blessing to us all.

[quote]Tell them you are no quieter like Biden..

Well, Biden does seem to have a softer voice these days. Does that whispering thing a lot.

Vance is clean up? Vance?! Oh my sides...

Pete is the smartest but his negative unfairly is being gay, Josh Shapiro and JB Pritzker are excellent but their fatal flaw is being Jewish. Gretchen Whitner is great but a woman..Vice presidential selection is a study in reverse DEI and no one wants to talk about it. I think Walz and Kelly are okay but Kelly is folliculaly challenged.

Walz is fucking amazing. If he doesn't get Veep he should be the press secretary or something.

I like Tim Walz too. I think Kamala can’t go wrong with these top picks.

Walz just seems more normal than any of them, Harris included.

He needs to stop wearing eyeliner

Trump is more detached from reality than he's ever been. It's finally started to impact his appeal from those on the margins of his base. Fox couldn't help him this morning. And Vance is not just weird, he's whacked. You couldn't build a less likeable person in a laboratory.

Trump doesn’t exercise or eat well, but neither did his father who lived into his 90s. But trump’s father wasn’t in a constant state of seeking adoration. He wasn’t being given any and every drug by his personal physician.

Trump’s brother Robert died at 71. His sister Maryanne died at 86. (We know his other brother died early of alcoholism). Trump is the last survivor. Let’s hope he does t make it to 86 or 93.

I hope he doesn't make it to the weekend.

He LOOKS like the evil hypocritical opportunistic shit he is.

Wait, what? You mean that’s NOT Adam Lambert? Come on now!

You'd think butter wouldn't melt in his mouth. Er, semen, I mean. DOES semen melt in the mouth?

[quote]Why was Mondale so disliked?

He has as much warmth as a Gila monster .

Jesus Christ, he's worse than DeSantis. Can there be a fluffier, gimme, softball question? "What makes you smile? What makes you happy?"

Considering how much he values breeding, he couldn't say something about his fecund wife and their brood?

He handles those softball questions as adroitly as Bork, R245, and has just as thick a skin. He could have said ice cream cones!

R245- But, but they have superior jeans!

[quote] Reporter: "What makes you smile? What makes you happy?"

Answer: "When a child drops their ice cream."

R245 I love how they are blowing every chance given to them.

Part of JD's problem is that he never trained as a politician. He was plucked into politics by his corporate funders because he wrote a well-received book about the society he grew up in, but that's not the same thing as engaging with voters and persuading them. He didn't have to do much to win his primary, and although he beat an underfunded Democrat in a red state he did so by much less of a margin than other winning Rs in OH. He's still got a big learning curve ahead of him.

Walz doesn't.

R232 is a liar saying Shapiro and Pritzker weren't pick because they're Jewish. If they had been picked, you'd be calling them DEI picks who were chosen only because they're Jewish. It's funny when Republicans say shit like this because hardly any Jewish elected officials are Republicans

[quote]Part of JD's problem is that he never trained as a politician.

A small part. A very, very small part.

Yes, R252, but many an idiot has been a successful politician.

So blatantly dumb, r253?

Yes, but those idiots had smart puppet masters (e.g. GWB) or were good snake oil salesmen (Trump.) JD Vance has all the charisma of a used piece of toilet paper and his puppet masters (Thiel, e.g.) are not politicians either but ideologues with some extremely unpopular ideas to sell.

Vance is not only 'dumb', he has a real nasty streak. He answered a softball 'what makes you smile question' with 'bogus questions from the media, man' not because he's dumb to politics but because he is angry, vengeful and just as petty as Trump. He wants to own libs, not win over old ladies with a 'my children make me smile'.

First half of this clip is Harris’s rally crowd today.

Second half is Vance’s rally crowd today.

Texting with a Holocaust denier

For it to be slander, we have to know he didn’t have sex with a couch. All we know is he didn’t write about it. Hope this helps!

R258 The more I read, the more I wonder how this guy got through Yale law school. Was Usha a nervous wreck, organizing her day in 15 minute chunks because she was carrying his ass through law school? She seems like the kind of sheltered, naive, bookish Indian girl who would do his assignments, wash the skid marks out of his underwear and then call him an alpha male.

JFC! JD VANCE'S QUOTE OF THE DAY:

"Trump has the best sense of humor. He loves to make fun of people."

The man is a million miles away from having a clue.

Well, DL, you can speculate all you want but he’s not one of us.

How do I know? That softball question that any one of us could’ve answered without a second thought.

Q: What makes you happy?

A: Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens. Brown paper packages tied up with string. These are a few of my favorite things!

Vance with his posse of white dudes today trying to stalk Harris at an airport. Creepy.

When the dog bites!

When the bee stinks!

He breaks scales for being so CHUBBY and DUMPY.

Vance is the type of man that causes women to cover their drink whenever he is near them

'This will be my plane soon' he says. Oh boy! God forbid Trump wins but how long before he and JD clash like nothing ever seen before? A craven chameleon with blind ambition who considers Air Force 2 his private plane is not going to sit and nod in the background like Pence did.

I believe they are aware of the fact that he is declining rapidly and Vance was chosen to replace him.

That's my suspicion, too, R268. The 25th amendment that Republicans so gleefully talked about after Biden's bombing at the debate is something they can use against Trump, too. Once Thiel & Co. decide he's overstayed the welcome and they want their man in place. But, hopefully, this will remain in the purely speculative domain.

Shady Vance is a stalker.

[quote] Reporter: Why would people in Wisconsin want to have a beer with you? Vance: Ha ha ha ha. Ahh. Well. I guess, I guess, they’d like, they’d want to have a beer with me because I do like to drink beer

He makes Ron DeSantis seem like Prince Charming.

Charisma free

[quote] because I do like to drink beer

He's got my vote!

How about because I'm a regular guy who enjoys a beer, just like them, and I actually want to hear what they have to say?

JD Vance tried approaching Kamala on the tarmack of a Wisconsin airport to get a look at the inside of Air Force Two "My future plane."

Might be time for a restraining order.

Kamala being a former prosecutor and Vance kind of stalking her should do this: [bold] File a Restraining Order! [/bold]

It would be a brilliant show of prosecutor vs criminal.

"My future plane". In your wildest fantasies, couch fucker.

JD Vance looks really uncomfortable in that human skin he's wearing. The campaign should try to find a better fitting one.

Vance is one of those people who don't understand the meaning of the word boundaries.

That defect is a magat dysfunction. R280.

THEY DON'T DO BOUNDARIES OR RESPECT FOR OTHERS

THEY DON'T EVEN RESPECT INANIMATE OBJECTS AND WILL VIOLATE A DEFENSELESS SOFA GIVEN A CHANCE

Now Vance is saying that HE will debate Kamala. Trump picked a guy who does understand the assignment.

Does NOT understand

Shady Vance is one creepy guy.

R283, he clearly was scared when Walz said he couldn't wait to debate him so he says he's going to debate Kamala thinking it will be better. It won't. Kamala ate Pence for lunch

She should agree if she's allowed to sit on a couch. And stroke it seductively.

Jr Mint must be in so much trouble.

Jr Mint and missus are sprawled somewhere on the floor of a room at MAL, covered in white dust.

And just when you think he couldn't top his current level of stupidity, he gives us even more to work with. Enjoy.

Liz Cheney is mocking him about the small group that showed up at his rally.

Vance is a high-performing Aspie, which explains his gravitating to Silicon Valley. Zero people skills, Elected only because of Tim Ryan;s undeniable mediocrity. I would not expect Barron and Eric's father and brother to figure this out.

His little stunt is unnerving because he’s clearly not afraid to get confrontational - when he has a crowd around him! I think back to those tense meetings between Trump and the congressional leaders. Pence quietly sat there staring straight ahead. Can you imagine what Vance would have done in those rooms, with press present. He would have stood up and got in Schumer’s face, he would have towered over Pelosi menacingly. Anything for a viral moment to own the libs.

His stunt trying to confront Kamala on the tarmac just makes him look like a stalker. Does he realize she's running for President and not VP? She should think about getting a restraining order. Not because she is in any real danger, but you never know. Remember, Harvey Milk the mayor of SF was murdered by another politician, not some random stranger.

One of the benefits of selecting a governor as a candidate or running mate is they’re usually pretty media savvy and at ease working the crowds by the time they run for the presidency. Vance is a weird combination of inexperience and arrogance, he’s like an understudy that never rehearsed.

Now he's trying to swift boat Tim Walz

What an asshole

Pathetic.

Vance got elected because of the Trump endorsement, millions from Silicon Valley, and Tim Ryan deciding to run against China, not the Republicans. If this Tim Ryan had shown up during the campaign, JD would be back peddling his fiction.

Ryan was too afraid of losing lame ass straight white men instead of playing to women.

Had he played to women and stopped being so afraid of losing votes from men, he could’ve crushed this phony fool.

Does he require Usha to trim his weirdly, unweildly beard?

Tim Ryan wasn't the problem. He did better than the other Dems running statewide. Biden lost Ohio in 2020, too. It's a state that had grown increasingly conservative. It's hard for Dems to win there. That's the only reason Vance won - because he's a Republican. People in Ohio don't even like him that much.

JD is trying to swift boat Tim Walz but he endorsed JR Majewski a candidate who ran and lost in Ohio in 2022 and falsely claimed to have served in Afghanistan

Well, it’s OK if a rethug lies about THEIR service, r302.

It’s only when a Democrat gets a date wrong or forgets a posting that the media screams like they’re on fire.

r300, he puts makeup in it to even it out, badly

I’m surprised they haven’t demanded Kamala “debate” Ben Shapiro. Wherein Ben Shapiro will do his squirrel-crossed with-Speedy Gonzalez imitation

Who can the Republicans send out as a surrogate to replace the unpleasant, low-energy Vance? I'm thinking Stephen Miller might bring the pizzazz.

Sarah Palin, currently the second most ridiculous V-P candidate ever, will do the tour.

Don Jr, of course! Sniff, sniff...

They'll replace Vance with Catturd

Has Don Jr been lying low? I haven't noticed anything about eruptions from him on Twitter.

He's coked out somewhere along with that inflatable sex doll.

He really seems to have sunk out of sight, doesn't he? I wonder how they'll use him in the post-Labor Day campaign. I assume he'll debate Walz, but Walz brings a lot more enthusiasm, and so far Vance just has name-calling.

Harris and Walz are touring stadiums and airplane hangars together. Don't the MAGAts find it odd that Dump's running mate doesn't show up to the rally with him? Or is he such a cipher that nobody notices or cares?

Vance is now yesterday's punchline. Interesting how that openly fake joke about the couch resonated so much it did him in.

Such a good investment of Thiel's money... Bwahahahahahahaha!!!!!

^ If Trump loses one of the best things will be laughing at all the rich fuckers like Tim Mellon, David Sacks, Elon, the Winklevoss assholes, etc. who flushed their money down the toilet

Was Vance Thiel's blood boy?

I’m sick of the son of a bitch and all of you up your ass obsessed with him on here!! Boo! Boo!!!

^ Hi, Peter!

You’re fat butt boy now the butt of everyone’s jokes got you down? Cry harder, bitch!

Better yet, dump more money into this fool. That’s the ticket.

This just surfaced on Twitter. It appears to be JD Vance (allegedly taken at Yale in 2012).

^ Gurl needs a better wig

A second femme fatale photo just surfaced.

Is that one of MeeMaw's old dresses?

She has that "come hither" look in her eyes, so I'm guessing it was Peter Thiel taking the photos

R323 it's been 15 years and the bitch won't ditch her eyeliner.

I like what I see R323!

But of course! The Republican invested in a start up and quickly replaced the local workers with migrants hired as ICs so they could pay them shit wages and treat them like shit. Locals were replaced because they were passing out on the job from heat exhaustion. Company went bankrupt.

More well-deserved shade from Tim Walz

R329's clip has Laura Ingraham quoting a friend saying "all these suburban women don't understand the decision is with the states now, abortion isn't totally banned."

Holy fuck, suburban women—and all of us—understand perfectly clearly that the decision is with state governments and NOT with individual women, and that's what they're incensed about!

That’s what I call “shucking and jiving” r330. But you can’t bullshit a bullshitter — the Rethugs are lying liars who lie. Laura Ingram is a faux “religious” Conservative Catholic, she is a tortured soul and no one can figure her out. Has she ever orgasmed? Is she closeted? Does she need to get dicked down? No one understands it. She thinks a little wordplay and semantics is going to fucking fool women? We see it. We read it. We watch it. We hear it. Two women in TX suing because they are sterile after doctors refused D&C’s. Laura is a troubled, confused Nazi who wants to see women dominated because she personally benefits in power and money. That’s it. She’s a CUNT. She’s a sociopath. And so are the Rethugs. They are traitors, understand that. TRAITORS.

R301 is Tim Ryan.

[quote] Has she ever orgasmed?

Yes, one time after Lura got arrested AND prosecuted for shoplifting. OOPS, did I let the cat out of the bag? My Bad.

Laura dated Lindsey Graham.

Also George Conway and the others in the article, which includes Keith Oberman.

A lesbian always needs purchashed men for her exploits.

Is Vance not humiliated by the fact that he can't get more than 100-200 people at his rallies (being generous here, since at least half of those are from the media)? I've seen street corner preachers with bigger crowds. Even MAGAts don't like this loser.

Can't wait.

Harris/Walz destined to win 2024! No need to vote-we're a shoo-in.

Another day, another pitiful outing for Shady...

^ Looks like the banquet room at the Best Western out by the airport. #SAD!

My mind can smell that ceiling in r340s photo.

Not content to just insult childless cat ladies, now he's going after Irish people and Italians!

Und Germans, too, R343! What a Schweinhund!

I think the Appalachian Celts would like a word.

R345, he means (shhh!) Catholics. Protestant Germans and Scots-Irish aren't the immigrants he's impugning (for drawing the violence of nativists).

Lower favorability than Palin.

Doesn’t that fool know their whole bullshit is right outta Opus Dei, r346?

Or is he that dim?

^ r348 - he is a member of Opus Dei... duh!

Cat Ladies respond:

Now they have JD Vance sperm kits?!!!

Every time he opens his mouth he gets creepier.

Women don't like him and he will not stop saying offensive things about them. His wife needs to slap him silly.

Tired of being blonde.

Chester the molester vibe.

The rumors about that couch add to this impression.

Pete Buttigieg just slayed him at the DNC!

He repugnant, just like his boss.

The Big O made fun of his childless cat lady comment, too

Ooh, awkward

^ Even I'm not this big of a loser.

I think it's safe to say that J. D. Vance is not a "people person."

Give him time. He's still adjusting to his human form.
