Here in DC we know he lies regularly just to please his super rich, primary funders, (The Federalist Society old boys). When we see him with his children you can tell he loves them, but that desire to be one of the “rich boys”, permeates his penniless Ohio childhood and compels him to use even them. Deep childhood is a fierce motivation.
What a victim, poor JD! As foreign as it is to this maga crew, maybe they should try to tap into empathy. Jd, imagine your three year old missing a limb or lying dead underneath piles of rubble because of Russian bombs or imagine your 3 year old carried away from you into a foreign country to be raised by people who hate you. The decision to withhold material support and intelligence from Ukraine has resulted in more death so cry me a fucking river if I don’t feel sorry for you
I'm a retired therapist and in close contact with several classmates and former co-workers and colleagues. Years ago, a good friend's father lamented (semi-jokingly)
"HOW did I get such a weird kid?" - and the response was "well, I dunno, Dad, it's either heredity or environment - but either way....it's your fault, you know... "
That said, I think parents get thrown under the bus way too often for how their adult children 'turn out'/behave.
Sometimes, people make choices - sell their souls, compromise their values and integrity for reasons that escape all of us.
There is some odd relationship between Vance and Thiel that I don't know that any of us (looking in from the outside) can explain? Clearly, there is "something" there.
And I say this after practicing 30+ years, being a news/political/science junkie.
Those like Vance, Thiel, tRump, Musk, et al.... are anomalies? (we hope?)- but so many emerge in certain timelines. The Guardian has a background piece on Musk today - but questions remain there.
“MA’AM, PLEASE MA’AM, MAAAAM I’m speaking with you but I’m trying to be respectful,”
So, this is now the fascist play book. When ever someone corrects you with facts, say they are not being respectful of you as their powerful elite overlord.
Come on, Wonkette. At least be truthful. Not a single protester thanked JD "Give me whatever donuts normal people order" Vance for him giving them the ability to protest.
Why is no one ever thanking Vance? It is just so rude!
"A small group of protesters were at the bottom of Vance’s street in Cincinnati, at the aptly-named intersection of Columbia and Taft. But the Vances’ street was closed off by police, and nobody was “chasing” asshair and his blameless child, or “following” them.
Here is video of a small group of protesters that he could have easily avoided"
But somebody needed attention because all the furniture stores were closed and now it's EVERYBODY ELSE'S PROBLEM.
Obviously, this will be an ongoing tactic. Similar to Zelensky. Invite him in, attack him, claim you're his victim. Cram toddler in stroller, take her into a hostile environment, tell lies in a passive-aggressive manner, claim you're their victim.
If you’re using your 3-year old as a human shield, you’re a shit parent

You are letting children starve and have qualities schools you are a shitty person.
Coucher fucker maGOO is a liar.
He has secret service protection, so there is no way his daughter was threatened.
He did his usual thing of interrupting people when they tried to speak, and speaking over them.
He does not listen, only spreads more bullshit.
Most of effective communication is listening, and honesty is required.
Couch fucker maGOO does none of that.
Someone married this asswipe and had sex with him. Let that sink in.

Democrats need to fill the void created by the lack of GOP town halls.
He is such a condescending prick. Has he always been this way or he have learn it from Peter Thiel?

i wish someone would ask Vance that, God forbid, if his wife passed away today, does he believe she'd go to Heaven?
Dude wants to play the "I'm a man of faith!" card, then that question is absolutely fair game.

Yes. This.
" If you could just CALM DOWN, we could continue this/I would answer your question, etc"
(also file under variations of "I wouldn't have had to have hit you if you hadn't made me so upset... ")

yes - so rude
Substack is total shit. I think I'm quitting. Goodbye Wonks.
Better than most comment systems, actually. But by all means, code your own better comment system and get rich.
NOOooooo!
It might suck, but it's not *that* bad!
Why, what's wrong?
That would be a shame. Substack is awful, true but we'd miss you and your buns.
Hiding behind your three year old daughter is a shit person in action.
