Who will be Trump's running mate? (J. D. Vance Has Been Chosen)

If someone is going to come out hard against the moral downfalls of women without children, they better expect to be put under a microscope for their moral righteousness. I’m not sure why we need to limit it to the worst of all the crap that is coming out about him.

Because falling asleep on the floor as a college student isn’t worth blinking twice at.

Maybe not to you and I. To people who base their votes on things like Traditional Values and Moral Rectitude, it ought to mean a lot, and if we can convince those people that the Trump ticket are hypocrites who only pay lip service to the values they treasure, they just might stay home in November.

Seriously, nobody else is going to blink twice at a college kid falling asleep on the floor before they grew up and saw the light. I hate him with the fury of a thousand suns, and I don’t care that he drank too much and fell asleep on the floor of his dorm room in his “youth”. Evangelicals aren’t going to care, because he saw the light since then and became a republican toady.

This is hilarious and deeply satisfying.

(Edit to add: Also, it’s an old clip, from Vance’s Senate run announcement. But it’s nevertheless reflective of the current situation, and it’s great how the Harris campaign has resurfaced it.)

It ought to but it doesn’t. R voters are experts in the art and science of being complete hypocrites.

Don’t make us get out the Trump-motorboating-Rudy-in-drag video…

When you get black-out drunk. your “moral scold” ticket gets stolen and you can never get it back.

Eh. I passed out on a floor in college, and there’s still plenty of scolding left in me!

Bush league. I fell down a flight of stairs and woke up under a pool table covered in what to this day I hope was my own vomit. :smiley:

“Well it’s not like you can “dust” for vomit.”

You know, I actually woke up locked in my friend’s bathroom, wrapped more or less around the toilet with my pants down by my ankles (I’m assuming I used the bathroom and then passed out), so I get some bonus points for style, but still not in the same league as yours. :slight_smile:

Should probably drop this line of scorn (stupid drunk). It only solidifies his standing with the males who make up most of the Republicant base. Ya’no; the “Hell Ya” crew.

I woke up, in my own bed, fully dressed in a change of clothes that were not mine. To this day I have no idea how that happened.

Honestly, I’d probably rather not know.

I don’t know. Around here, most white guys who drink would probably sneer at him for being such a light weight.

At the spectacular train-wreck which was Trump at the NABJ panel today (his own campaign pulled him with 25 minutes to go of a one-hour appearance (I mean, he opened with “There’s a lot of people in this room that are Black” for God’s sake)), he was asked if JD Vance will be ready to be President on Day 1. Trump responded with:

That he went with basically “I’m the only person on the ticket that matters so stop talking about him” isn’t a surprise.

But every time he praised Vance he also praised the “other candidates”. Which suggests that one of the other candidates might still become the VP candidate.

Yes, though it’s tough to separate ‘Trump may be thinking of replacing Vance’ from ‘Trump loves to keep people off-balance and uncertain and eager to please him.’

If none of the recent Vance stories—the cat lady comments or the couch or the dolphin-sex search—had come to light, Trump might STILL be praising “other candidates” as a way of keeping JD in line. Trump just enjoys that.

You know who else liked to pit his servants against each other? Yeah, him.

Milton’s Lucifer? Rowling’s Voldemort? Hackman’s Lex Luthor?

All three much nicer than Trump, really, so probably you mean someone else. :thinking:
