the VP

Could Trump have picked a slimier candidate than J.D. Vance for his Vice-President? What a 180 from goody-goody Mike Pence. Oh, there were some really disgusting candidates for Trump's VP. Tim Scott of South Carolina and his nauseating public brown-nosing of Trump springs to mind, but apparently Vance was the choice of the (Nazi) Heritage Foundation, and Vance fits nicely in the Project 2025 future, once they get Trump out of the way.
 
Do not trust this man.

Vance has a lot of baggage re women's rights. Jeff Tiedrich has a choice column on Vance that you can find here. A sample:

JD Vance is what would happen if a total lack of principles became a real boy.


Jay Dee didn’t invent the idea of saying anything in order to get ahead — but oh fucking lordy, did he ever perfect it.


back when JD was the darling of the literary set, he espoused some fairly liberal views — especially about Donny Convict. he once referred to him as “America’s Hitler.” he’s called Donny a “moral disaster” and “cultural heroin.” 


but that was then. now the political winds have shifted, and JD has made a complete turnaround — all of a sudden, Donny being America’s Hitler is a good thing.


was JD being disingenuous back then, and telling people what they wanted to hear, or is he lying now? who can tell? all we know is that the guy is as phony as Donny Convict’s tan.


and now, as Donny’s choice for veep, he could one day be a grazed ear away from the presidency.


there is one thing in this world that JD Vance seems totally sincere about: he fucking hates women.



Somehow, it looks like Biden's run for president might be ending. It seems absurd to me, and it seems like an extremely risky thing to do at this late date. What? 110 days till the election? I'm still not sure that it is real, but it FEELS like it is happening. And I'd bet that the Democrats don't know what they fuck they are doing. 

Are things stressful enough for you lately? Overload? It's amazing how much it can help to disconnect from the internet for awhile and focus on something positive. 

I wonder sometimes: are things really weirder than ever, or could it just be me perceiving things differently as I get older? Somehow, I don't think it's just me.

Hang on to your sanity and ideals! It feels like the barometric pressure is dropping, even though there is no storm out there. At least no storm that I can see.
