“…tweets liked by #Vance said #Trump committed “serial sexual assault,” called him “one of USA’s most hated, villainous, douchey celebs,” and, in a since-removed set of tweets, harshly criticized Trump’s response to the deadly 2017 White nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia – something Vance now defends Trump over”

Via Ron Filipkowski:
The architect of #Project2025 has a new book coming out where he outlines his plans in greater detail, and it just so happens that JD #Vance is the author of the Forward, he wrote a glowing review, and urged people to buy it on Twitter last month.
Nine years ago, Hillary said around half of Trump's supporters were bigots of various stripes and despite that being a generous estimate, the right hasn't stopped whining about it since--and they convinced the press that it was a consequential slur.
This will be forgotten in 2 days...

JD #Vance didn't just write the forward for the Heritage President's new book, he wrote a promotional blurb about weoponizing the Heritage ideas.
Vance: “We are now all realizing that it’s time to circle the wagons and load the muskets,” Vance raves in the blurb. “In the fights that lay ahead, these ideas are an essential weapon.”
Usha #Vance told friends #Trump appalled her. Now she’s working to elect him.
The potential second lady found Trump’s actions on #Jan6 “deeply disturbing,” a friend said. But #ambition & devotion to her husband ultimately drove her to a place in the campaign.

Did #Trump‘s VP pick #JDVance just ‘#swiftboat’ #TimWalz by attacking his #military record?
[Yep. Vance is pretty effin stupid.]
#Vance, accused his opponent of “stolen valor garbage” & accused him of having “abandoned” his unit in 2005 ahead of a planned deployment to Iraq.

#JDVance Desperately Tries to Give #Trump Credit for Prisoner Swap
Trump’s team is pathetically trying to make the #Russia #PrisonerExchange all about him.
After #POTUS Joe #Biden on Thurs announced a deal to free American #hostages in Russia, #Vance somehow tried to give Trump the credit.

Since assuming the mantle, Trump’s running mate, #JDVance, has pretty much shit the couch.

The embarrassments keep mounting. Vance’s dull speech at the convention may have lulled Trump to sleep, but women sat up when the OH senator was caught on a recording slagging off #childless #women, calling them miserable “cat ladies” w/“no direct stake” in the #future of #America.

What utter nonsense lol—
Vance spoke of a “healthy ruling class” and not turning the country over to “people who don’t really have a direct stake in it.”
How would she spin that?

I'd like a reporter to ask JD #Vance what he & his wife use for contraception. He can't say 'nothing' because he doesn't have a shit ton of kids. She's still of childbearing age at 38. She should be able to produce a baby every year.
If Vance refuses to answer & says it's personal, then ask him why he thinks he has the right to control the personal decisions of other men & women.
Reporters are failing. Make these men answer questions about the things they want to control in others.

"JD #Vance’s Combative Style Confounds Democrats but Pleases #Trump"
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/31/us/politics/jd-vance-trump-vp.html
The #NYTimes (@nytimes) doesn't understand what "confounds" means. Dems are not "confounded" by Vance's rhetoric. They understand it, answer it, denounce it, refute it, ridicule it.
By contrast. Trump and Vance are confounded by #Harris and #Walz. They're floundering for an effective line of attack.

Vance’s church has condemned his bigotry. 😳
“Today, our nation is divided by partisanship and ideology, which blind us to the image of God in our neighbor, especially the unborn, the poor, and the stranger. These negative sentiments are only exacerbated by gossip, which can spread quickly across social media with no concern for the truth or those involved.”

#JohnGotti would have OK’d #Trump #Vance #mob hit on #Zelensky. President Trump, who once famously bragged that he’d be “one of the greatest” #mafiosi, put everything he learned in growing up around the #NewYorkCity mob in the 1980s to use during his already infamous #OvalOffice attempted shakedown of #Ukraine’s #Zelensky on Friday. America may never recover from the plurality of voters who wanted a Gotti-style strongman as president. https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/commentary/trump-zelensky-ukraine-mob-boss-20250302.html #corruption #politics #government

"Great Replacement Theory, or the idea that White Christians are being outperformed demographically by non-Whites, threatening the survival of the race and 'civilization,' was central to Fascist ideologies and practices and it is central to anti-immigrant and other racist platforms of far-right parties and governments today."

"#Vance let slip what is likely the real reason for this crackdown when he claimed that foreign students are "bad for the American dream.' He argued that intl students are bad "for American kids who want to go to a nice university but can’t b/c their spot was taken by a foreign student.' Like Usha's parents? Radhakrishna “Krish” Chilukuri & Lakshmi Chilukuri moved from India to the U.S. in the late 1970s. She's a biologist & provost @ UCSD; he an engineer @ SDSU.
Trump Team Eyes Politically Connected Startup to Overhaul $700 Billion Government Payments Program

A little-known firm with investors linked to JD Vance, Elon Musk and Trump could get a piece of the federal expense card system — and its hundreds of millions in fees. “This goes against all the normal contracting safeguards,” one expert said.

“Just two days ago, JD #vance said the U.S. would stay out of this fight. But now, the #Trump team rushed in to claim credit for stopping the war. #Rubio called it a big win for peace and praised #Modi and #Sharif for choosing talks over bombs.
But here’s the truth: #India’s government later made it clear — the #ceasefire was arranged directly with Pakistan, not through the U.S. This flat-out contradicts Trump and Rubio’s claims. Once again, they lie about everything, even in a global crisis. And the shelling started again within hours. If this is Trump’s idea of “peace,” the world has every reason to worry.”
