I don't think there's anything against either of them doing it.

Why don't you just admit you want a dictatorship. Seems it would be a lot easier.

Looks like James David Vance (born James Donald Bowman) is your MAGA VP

This country is so screwed.

And the trumpers here will rejoice. Who needs democracy, right?

I dont think anyone really needs American or British style "liberal democracy". from what I can tell its pretty evil.



So I am curious why MSNBC pulled Morning Joe this morning > Scared they would be celebrating or lamenting the shooter missed

Really? You've never mentioned it before.

You think you don't want it, but wait until you live under a government that puts folks like you in prison (or worse) for publicly criticizing the people in charge.

I don't think that argument works on Victor, he's been scoping out Gulags to see which one he wants to retire to.

I'm sure that was the reason. 🙄

What in the actual **** is wrong with you?

This doesn't change much in my view. JDV sucks in the bog-standard, kiss-the-ring sort of way.

Democracy is bullshit but it's the least bad bullshit we have. I don't think it's the system of democracy that's the problem with these two countries, but that they're the most recent large empires (or behave like imperialists), and people/states really don't like letting go of power and influence.

Horseface, how are the crypto markets reacting to the news?

Lol dude changed his name? Gotta google this


Sadly, I'm probably older than all three of those kids put together.


I might be older than them put together and their dad.

Hello son.


JD Vance was born in Middletown Ohio as James Donald Bowman. When he started school, he was adopted by his mother’s third husband and went by the name of James “Jim” Hamel. His stepfather worked for General Electric, and his mother was a nurse. He was not brought up “poor.”

Jim Hamel visited his maternal grandmother in Kentucky for a couple of summers until his grandparents moved to Middletown, Ohio.

JD Vance went by James Hamel through high school, through the Marine Corps (in public affairs, where he wrote articles for the Marine Corps Times as Jim Hamel), then attended Ohio State University, Yale Law. He then went to Silicon Valley, California, where he was a venture capitalist (also known as a corporate raider). While in California, he worked for GOP mega doner, Peter Thiel.

At the age of 33, James Hamel married, and at that time he changed his name to JD Vance, taking his mother’s maiden name.

Like a lot of people, I read Hillbilly Elegy when it came out. The book is total nonsense. He tries to portray himself as this underdog that came from some super poor background, but his upbringing is the same as pretty much every single middle class Millennial out there. Not too surprising that Trump picks another charlatan, just like himself.


yeah. it's pretty great that Trump is a terrible politician and picks people like Vance who brings no one extra to the table. it'd be rough to beat his cult if he had even the smallest bit of intelligence or strategy.

why pick someone that could be the stabilizing influence on your crazy or maybe someone who has billions of dollars to dump into a vanity campaign like the ND governor.. nah let's go with this far right wing crazy that things abortion should have no exceptions and also called you hitler

I'm sure that was the reason. 🙄
