    Yeah. Not sure what that has to do with her ethnicity though.

    Wrong. It got Vance the Senate position and now the VP nomination. His position on Ukraine isn't that different from Tucker Carlson's.

    J.D. Vance’s Apathy Toward Ukraine Is Backfiring
    By Ed Kilgore, political columnist for Intelligencer since 2015
    Mar. 18, 2022

    https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/03/j-d-vance-goes-dangerously-off-message-on-ukraine.html

    Reversed opinions aside, Vance’s compensation for his past heresy has mostly involved becoming the most serious “outsider populist” in the Senate field — sort of a Buckeye version of Josh Hawley. Or perhaps Vance can best be compared to his most avid media booster, Fox News commentator and own-the-libs provocateur Tucker Carlson. Like Carlson, Vance has praised Hungary’s authoritarian leader, Viktor Orbán, the self-styled defender of Western Christendom against migrants and immigrants. But in a recent interaction with an even more outspoken Orbán ally who was the original MAGA architect, Steve Bannon, Vance made a crucial mistake while trying to sound like the 45th president. On Bannon’s War Room podcast on the brink of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Vance said, “I don’t really care what happens to Ukraine one way or another.” It wasn’t a gaffe, since his campaign proudly tweeted out his remarks:

    “I gotta be honest with you, I don’t really care what happens to Ukraine…I do care about the fact that in my community right now the leading cause of death among 18-45 year olds is Mexican fentanyl that’s coming across the southern border.” - @JDVance1 #OHSen pic.twitter.com/nf6MUzdWM5

    — JD Vance for U.S. Senate Press (@JDVancePress) February 19, 2022

    This flippant isolationist comment did not go over well after Russia invaded, so Vance put out a long statement expressing sympathy for Ukraine but blaming the “globalists” of the “foreign-policy establishment” for backing Putin into a corner and thus leading “the Ukrainians directly into the slaughterhouse.” Subsequently, though, he went on Carlson’s show once again and argued that any aid being offered to Ukraine should instead be appropriated and tripled to spend on America’s borders. Even now, Vance’s campaign website features an image of the candidate and Carlson under the legend: “Secure our Southern Border and NOT Ukraine’s border! Stand with Tucker Carlson and J.D. Vance.”

    JD Vance will be a gift to the Biden campaign

    The author of "The Hillbilly Elegy" will have his clock cleaned, as there are lots materials out there.
    • JD Vance calling Trump an AHole and the American Hitler
    • JD Vance calling for a nationwide ban on abortion, without exception
    • JD Vance Saying Women Should Stay In “Violent” Marriages
      • doubled down w
        • “This is one of the great tricks that I think the sexual revolution pulled on the American populace, which is the idea that like, ‘well, OK, these marriages were fundamentally, you know, they were maybe even violent, but certainly they were unhappy. And so getting rid of them and making it easier for people to shift spouses like they change their underwear, that’s going to make people happier in the long term.”

    Be careful though, hyenas are known for their bite force which is around 1100psi. They’re known as bone crushers.

    yes, JD Vance was picked because of GOP's "DEI must die" stand.

    Trump's weakest postion has been on abortion; a woman running mate could mitigate that weakness. but.....

    add to it his record on abortion

    him being the VP pick is a gift to the Biden campaign​

    the only gift to the Biden campaign would be Biden stepping down

    JD Vance brings nothing at all to the ticket. The whole point of a VP from a campaign standpoint is to try and expand your voter coalition or at least have some sort of strategy. You might as well of just given the role to Don Jr. if you are going this route.

    Trump might be thinking this race is over and so picks the VP he really likes, not the one that would help him politically. I do hope Team Trump keeps thinking this way.

    Vance is a grifter who did a complete 180 when he realized how many suckers were conservative.

    His rhetoric certainly will make it harder to distance the Trump campaign from Project 2025 and Christian Nationalism.

    And Jan 6. As Vance, said, he would have asked for alternate slate of electors (an illegal scheme currently being prosecuted in some states) and wouldn’t have certified the election. He would do what Pence rightfully wouldn’t.

    My assumption when I heard Vance was the guy was that he proved his loyalty to Trump better than the rest of the field. I'm pretty sure that's going to be Trumps first and only metric for whom he surrounds himself with.

    You clowns better worry about what to do with your Joementia and his mush brain than giving your 2 cents to the winning team. Just saying!
