Look! DEI Delores is baaack!

JD Vance was on the same tarmac as Kamala so he walked over to Air Force Two for a chat with reporters since she won't talk to them...

"I also thought you guys may get lonely, since the VP doesn't answer questions from reporters"

Vance got ballz! Lol, I would LOVE to have him as VP, and then eight years as president - unless he sells out to Pfizer or other criminal rackets. So far he's been great, best VP choice ever in the history of the USA.

“Kamala Harris’s father was a professor emeritus at Stanford University and her mother was an internationally renowned biologist. JD Vance’s father was a deadbeat dad who abandoned him in childhood and his mom was a drug addict. and yet somehow they both ended up as US senators. Harris started out with a lot more ‘equity’ than Vance did and if her vision of equity is actually true, Kamala Harris and her multi-millionaire husband need to write JD Vance a very, very large check.”
— Bill Whittle

I literally saw this in a tweet right next to another one stating MAGA men are insecure over Waltz's 'masculinity'.

If Vance is such a shitty VP candidate, then why waste propaganda resources trashing him?

AmericanKulak says

80% of longtime Republican Congressional Staffers and Aides, and professional Lobbyists dislike Vance.



He must be an excellent choice.

Hopefully, he'll kindle the fire in Trump's belly instead of backstabbing him like that traitor Pence.

Then when this clown Karl tried to make JD seem like a dreamer and a dictator for his deportation plan, JD calmly smacked him back.

I think this is the wrong attitude towards it, right? There's 20 million people here illegally. You start with what's achievable, you do that, and then you go on to what's achievable from there.

I think that if you deport a lot of violent criminals and frankly if you make it harder to hire illegal labor, which undercuts the wages of American workers, I think you go a lot of the way to solving the illegal immigration problem ...

President Trump is absolutely right, you cannot have a border unless you're wiling to deport some people. I think it's interesting that people focus on, 'well, how do you deport 18 million people?' Let's start with 1 million. That's where Kamala Harris has failed, and then we can go from there.

They're trying to use this against Vance?

It just makes me like him even more.

No one in Washington seems to know how much we’re spending on illegal aliens. JD Vance plans to find out.

TBH, both of these are not real soldiers IMO. One never got antwhere near war and the other one went as a jorno, not a trigger-puller. Pot, kettle.... They should fucking drop it.

Did JD Vance ever claim he went to war?

With important and life-influencing policies hopefully deciding the outcome of the upcoming US election (little things like cost of living and national security), mainstream news outlet Politico draws our attention to no doubt the most important aspect of the election: facial hair. After the vice presidential debate Politico reports: “One of the first bits of nonverbal communication to appear in the debate was on JD Vance’s face: his beard. As POLITICO Magazine has noted before, Vance is the first White House wannabe to wear facial hair in 80 years. Our appearance is fundamental to our body language, and research indicates that voters see beards as (surprise, surprise) more masculine. That can be positive to some, reading as strength and competence. But to others, especially women, it can be negative, conveying aggression and opposition to feminist ideals.”

"If you work hard and play by the rules, you ought to be able to afford a good life. That's what Donald Trump and I are going to fight for."

The other side has voters who expect the good life without working hard or playing by the rules. One man's tax cut is a threat to another person's welfare check.

Half way through. This is one of the best interviews ever for a politician. Bad Tube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vd8mmTDDqAs

I'm JD, about the same age. He's my personality if you met me. I also don't get how Theo is pulling off these interviews. I love the swearing and not being fake. I'm close to putting the sign in the yard and pissing off friends. If Trump dies I want this guy in the white house. Not that I'd vote for Kamala anyway.

Booger says

Will Vance be able to do that? The list was sealed by a judge.

“This is a very unique country, and it was founded by some immigrants and some settlers. But just because we were founded by immigrants, doesn’t mean that 240 years later that we have to have the dumbest immigration policy in the world.”

“I think that the US Conference of Catholic Bishops needs to actually look in the mirror a little bit and recognize that when they receive over $100 million to help resettle illegal immigrants. Are they worried about humanitarian concerns? Or are they actually worried about their bottom line?”

A little political background regarding J D Vance, who had never run for, or, held political office before his U. S. Senate race:

Vance was a virtual unknown that decided to run for the U. S. Senate in Ohio, where, in the GOP primary, he was running a distant 3rd. in a three candidate race. Basically what happened is that the top two concentrated their attack ads on each other, effectively splitting the vote in the primary election, which greatly benefitted Vance, who ended up winning the primary. Vance then faced Democrat Congressman, and DC insider, Tim Ryan, the overwhelming favorite to win in the General. Prior to the election, Ryan met Vance in a debate, in which all of the political pundits confidently proclaimed that the political veteran Ryan would easily win. To the shock of many political pundits, the opposite occurred. Vance performed very impressively and Ryan was left looking confused and bewildered. Of course, Vance went on to not only defeat a long term, well known establishment candidate, but did so by a large margin.

Add to all of that, the fact that, like Trump, he is really an outsider and it looks to me like he has the potential to make a great President after Trump leaves office.

I found some interesting Obama-era programs that totalled $300M to some chick in DC, and to a buncha NGOs, most LIRS



I'm starting to wonder if "Faith Based Initiatives" was a cover for laundering subsidies to mass migrants via NGOs.

It probably is...these NGO's provide salaries to Democratic party workers and help their clients, the migrants, who in turn will vote Democrat or help Democratic strategies...Its a circle of money and political power.

Impressive stuff. Try to imagine Kamala Harris being pressed like this.

As an Ohioian, I am happy for JD Vance. He has been fighter since he was born.

I DONT CARE MARGARET!

This topic always gets me. The list doesn't matter. What can you prove? I've flown on a private plane, who knows the guy could have been a kid fucker flying it? What would that have to do with me? Furthermore maybe I went to a different location from the airport and never stepped foot in the fucking grounds/island?

Nothing will ever come of it. Only thing would be video footage on the island, which likely got wiped as they took the hard drives out through magnetic doors. I swear people keep thinking they landed planes on the island. They didn't. It was at STT. Boat over with no records of it.

This isn't your average marina if you haven't been. https://www.igymarinas.com/marinas/marina-yacht-haven-grande/ Looks small, but it's heavily fortified with massive boats. Not talking 80' boats. 300' boats. They're not charters either. Same boats have been there every time I go. I don't think the nasty was happening on the island, let's put it that way. The press doesn't go there and is too stupid. It was happening on boats. They'd just party on the island and toss the kid, chick or whoever overboard with weights. Epstein was a jew, that temple was probably for him personally. Otherwise the island is mostly normal looking besides the palm trees.

But Margaret 'cared.' Did you happen to notice all of the frustrated face contortions in the Meet the Press interview. Talk about body language.

Margaret, you ignorant slut.

WookieMan says

Boats likely anchored in no country's jurisdictional waters?

Were you on the boat? So you flew in on his jet? Doesn't mean you went to the island? You have to see it in person. A list is just flight records unless you were there to witness the crime.

The international waters don't matter if you dump the chick/boy whatever they were doing overboard with weights. I've been to St. Thomas at least a dozen times. Never have seen any military and island police don't police the water except the ports. It's a free for all. That marina I linked, good luck getting in from land or sea.

They have no witnesses and the main one "suicided" himself. Any list released results in absolutely nothing. This Epstein list is a waste of time.

JD vs Kamala on AI:

JD: The US possesses all components across the full AI stack, including advanced semiconductor design, frontier algorithms and transformational applications.

KH: AI is kind of a fancy thing. First of all it's two letters. It means 'Artificial Intelligence.'

Vance's benefactor over the years is Peter Thiel (Palantir Technologies).

Vance #48, before 2028? Checkmate.

Currently reading Vance's "Hillbilly Elegy" and it's pretty good. I had not realized the kind of poverty and dysfunction he came from. He has a good attitude though.

I guess this informs his attitude for youthful mistakes. As it very well should. Youth is about fucking up and finding out. If you survive, you have acquired the best form of FAFO wisdom - "Visceral Wisdom" - where you thank God you weren't killed, and you learned the limits of being an asshole or dumb and stupid.

Oh shit, turns out Vance was clearly infected with wokeness during his time at Yale Law. On page 190, instead of using the correct word "wife" he uses the leftist sex-neutral term "life partner". He goes on to rail against the hillbillies he comes from:

- complains that conservatives think Obama is a Muslim (which he technically is by Islamic law, as his father was Muslim)
- complains that conservatives think or suspect Obama was foreign born (seems possible to me)
- praises Obama as excelling in the Ivy League, being "brilliant, wealthy" and having great diction
- complains that only 6% of Americans think the media is "very trustworthy" (which it clearly is not)
- complains that conservatives think that the US was involved in 9/11 (seems possible to me given Bush's close ties to the Saudis)
- complains that whites think that universities are rigged against whites (obviously true, lawsuits about that are pending, maybe done by now)
- complained that his dad asked if he had to "pretend to be black or liberal" to get into Yale (when that is provably helpful, especially the black thing)
- was proud that Hillary had gone to Yale Law
- worried about "racism"

OK, the book was published in 2016, but I'm still worried that Yale got to Vance and successfully indoctrinated him with the usual far-left elitist crap beliefs.

People change though. I used to smoke cigs. I was scared of black people, but now I know many more and don't care. I loved road trips and now I hate them. I'll never get another animal again even though I love dogs (as pets). I voted for Obama and didn't the 2nd time.

I think it's okay to change positions in life. You just can't be dishonest about it. "I thought that then and now think this way and here's why." Not a massive JD fan, but he is younger. A lot changes from college to working years once you're out of the BS university system. Having kids was the biggest life changer for me.

Having money now is also another biggie. You realize how much government takes and gives to others that do nothing. That's how I got blinded by Obama. Bunch of BS campaign talk to get elected.
