    Been saying forever, abortion is a car that dog don’t want to catch. What a disaster for the GOP.

    Look, the man had to deflect such a question, right? But if Vance, and by extent the Republican leadership, had the courage of their convictions, the answer is a no-brainer.

    “No. I think they are far more concerned with preventing the murder of innocent children, which is not a right, no matter how you slice it.”

    So, uh, is that message not resonating with women voters? Backing up the truck at this late date?

    Almost immediately after Vance got the nod, I hit on a description for the way he appeared to me. At the time, it was necessarily based on very little info, so mostly I posted it because I liked the imagery - I admittedly wasn’t sure how accurate it really was.

    Imagine that life is a roleplaying game, and in every interaction, one chooses from a set of possible responses.

    And imagine that each response is labeled, so there’s the kind response or the neutral response or the angry response or whatever.

    It’s as if, in every situation, J.D. Vance chooses the asshole response.

    It’s actually sort of surprising to me how accurate that has proven to be. .

      Vance is an NPC with his assholery level set to very high.

      Or it can be like mass effect and you choose the option that just says “no thanks” but you’re character is a massive cunt for no reason at all and is like “no fucking thanks you asshole. I’m gonna kill you and wear your face as a mask.” And you’re just left wondering where the hell that came from lol

    I just don’t get it. These are questions designed to get him to just answer with sections of his stump speech. How is he this bad at it? All he has to do is say the thing someone else wrote and he has said hundreds of times.

    The incompetence would be easier to believe it was intentional.

          Steve Bannon, the guy that convicted of some kind of fraud for taking money for a border wall and running away with it. All that’s left of trumps advisors are criminal conmen and his own failsons

    Pray tell…what are these “normal” things you think suburban women worry about? I suppose it is abnormal on a global scale for them (us) to have to worry about it because it’s a non-issue in actually civilized countries.

      You know, the usual stuff. Cross-dressing men at libraries, “military age” migrant caravans headed towards our southern border, and how high the taxes are for the top bracket. Totally normal concerns that directly affect average Americans in this day and age.

        • Worried about that one time and illegal immigrant killed someone 4 states away but ignoring the murder rates in their own town

        • Not wanting her tax dollars to go to some mythical welfare queen but is perfectly fine with it being funneled to incentives and bailouts for big businesses

        • Thinking non-english speaking illegal immigrants are coming for her job as an RN/admin assistant/realtor but not at all concerned the people who do her yard don’t speak English

      At this point I’m thinking he’s actually a double agent.
      He’s secretly a democrat and sacrificing himself to ensure Trump doesn’t make it.

        I think it’s worse. I think he represents a large minority of people who agree with him and just don’t say it aloud. He’s on the ticket in hopes of trump dying in office so they can push this hyper-religious and ridiculous agenda.

        Their only mistake was not realizing how unpalatable their ideas are to the rest of the country. If they understood that, they’d have sent a better liar.

    I would love to thank him for the continued damage he’s causing to the republicunt agenda. Every time him or dementia don speak it’s driving more and more people away from them. It’s wonderful

    I’m a little drunk rn. So just in case anyone else is wondering, the name of the fonts used in that post is Source Code. I like it a lot. Also, fuck Fox News and JD Vance.

    You’re a VP candidate. Normal things get handled by the city. Does he think CEOs worry about printer paper too?

    Vance really looks like Rush Limbaugh with a beard. And I mean a real beard, not the kind Rush had: a trophy wife with a 10-year prenup to disguise his pedophilia.
