P, ya know, when you've hit the end of righteous indignation sometimes, you just gotta say "what the fuck". As for the above brief comment, I'm for it.
And the looks. I'm sure he's convinced that Vance - eyeliner and all - has the steel-blue-eyed look that sells tickets (and votes). And the "brown" wife may buy some "ethnic cred" without getting in the way of running the show. /s
Usha is apparently in the Nimarata Haley mold: child of non-white immigarants but somehow arch conservative. Looking at you too, "Bobby" Jindal. They ignore that conservatives do not represent their interests in any way, ethnically, religiously, racially, or economically; if the conservatives had their way, people of color would not even be in the country. I'll never understand it. And then she marries an misogynist POS. Wow
Somehow arch-conservative. The generation that immigrated would have been high-caste Indians. Well-educated as would have been the norm, likely from money. In this country, their struggles included having to live without servants. Conservatism is not surprising.
I student of mine loved visiting grandparents in India and riding on the pet elephant kept in the family compound. Grandpa was a judge.
If she’s the American-born child of immigrants, Donald Trump thinks she shouldn’t be a citizen. But then, he’s never read the 14th Amendment (or any other Articles or Amendments in the Constitution).
I used to have some empathy for the 1st generation of a certain age whose parents thought they had to suppress every shred of their ethnicity in order to get ahead (e.g., kids whose parents forbid speaking Spanish at home). Then, I grew up and realized people have free will & if they have any critical thinking skills whatsoever, they'd throw that bullshit overboard.
I think where the Democrats get in trouble is making assumptions about people based on their skin color. Assuming all people who are not white share, similar political outlook is dangerous same thing with gay people. Clarence Thomas, Ariel Rose, Kanye, Tim Scott, Aileen Cannon, Peter Thiel and Grennell- all people who define democratic stereotypes of what they should want. Perhaps the party needs to get out of the business of generalizing groups as bad as Trump with his Black Jobs nonsense. Also, Spanish people absolutely hate the term “Latinx” - which seems to have been caught up in some faculty lounge or gay rights advocacy group. The language, and feminine and masculine words is way older than anyone’s social movement to read engineer communication so to not offend people
Yeah, the only reason he won’t be included when these Evangelicals & Catholics start sending gays off to re-orientation camps or prison, is that he’s loaded with money.
Theil bought a compound and citizenship in New Zealand, he’s not stupid, he know what a toxic wasteland they will make out of our country, which being a bad immigrant (same as Musk who came here as an adult) he has no loyalty towards.
Merrick Garland, follow the money! The shots are being called by people who have bought the judiciary. They bought SCOTUS so they could effectively execute another Bush Vs. Gore 2.0. WAKE THE F UP A.G. GARLAND???!!!
God, I hope that Jack Smith creams these guys with his response to Aileen Cannon dismissing the classified documents case. He should levy some additional heart-stopping indictments to broil the bastards. If the FBI can find shenanigans with Senator Menendez, than they can find the Leonard Leo > Thomas > Cannon conspiracy to obstruct justice no problem.
Speaking of Shitler and shots -- WTF is his medical report and how come he didn't have a bandage the day after it happened while he was out playing golf, but he did the next day at the Rethuglican CONvention?
"It would be the greatest honor of my life, sir, to serve as your running mate, the running mate of the greatest president the world has ever seen, the things that were did like no one has ever seen before, the huge... the batteries won't, uhh, those sharks wouldn't be having you for dinner like Hannibal Lecter, uhh..."
Trump is nothing if not dependable. In ANY given situation, he will make the worst possible choice. At least we now know that Haley's voters won't go NEAR Trump, no matter who she may or may not endorse.
I sure hope he isn’t. But Jeff keep in mind that what Putin wants, Putin gets. Look around the world all his picks. He has octopus’s fingers everywhere. Take it from Alexander Litvinenko who lost his life to Polonium 210 in central London over a cup of tea for having exposed him for what he is and his plans for the West. Try to find the book he finished from his death bed in 2006 DEATH OF A DISSIDENT by Alex Goldfarb and Marina Litvinenko. Here you’ll find in detail Putin’s playbook and now Trump/Vance and the entire GOP’s. I was still living in London and following the story.
Speaking of missed it by this much, you have to wonder how many ambitious Republicans were bummed that Donald survived. Who had the most to gain with Donald's assassination? Hmmm? Not the Dems. I think Jeff's connect the dots and the Alex Jones two-fer of getting a new slate of repubs while green lighting the MAGA to go hunting liberals in retaliation for a repub executed execution is very possible.
Who benefits indeed? Question 2: who benefits from a purposeful missed shot? Drumph is getting attention & sympathies. But he's an awful coward. Would any of us agree to have an AK shot at our head, get thru the terror to remember "time to turn your head"? For any reason?
Right, they misread him by a mile, JoyAnn Reid said it out loud on tv that they were debasing themselves for nothing. LDFF would never in a million years choose one of them for VP.
::sigh:: Never mind—they knew they didn't have to bother because they could count on the Clinton NeoLibs in the DNC and the Mainstream Media to do the work FOR them.
I spend the last three days prepping for a "procedure" and having it, go home and get my first decent sleep since then, and wake up to this shit!:
We're just going to sail into fascism because the Democratic Party would rather play games than unify behind The One Person Who BEAT Donald Trump—and it wasn't Hillary Rodham Clinton!
Curiously, survey says that the happiest people in the world are single, childless females. I'm happily married with grown children but if I became single, I would stay that way and get a fking cat. A female cat.
I'm recently widowed with no children. I miss my beloved husband but I'm satisfied with being and independent woman with a life of my own. No cat. Yet.
I am very sorry you lost your spouse. I was widowed when I was 33. It's a club no one wants to join. Glad you are finding your way, with or without feline companionship.
Good thing it's on tape. All these red states that turned their backs on fed $ for kids summer food programs. Food pantries overrun, parents struggling. Why refuse?! It's available NOW, but red govs I guess prefer giving finger to Biden, preferring hungry kids.
I think there's two demographics in the GQP. The first one is greedy fucking grifting bastards. The second is functionally illiterate. Vance is about revenge. He's got a shit ton of shame he projects on the rest of us. He walks and talks shame. His hatred of women stems from his childhood. He's an insecure fucking broken man hell bent on making us all pay for his psychosis.
He may have self hatred or shame about his roots; but my bet is on he hates his Mom & he’s going to make all women pay for the mistakes he thinks she made.
Yes, he’s a real piece of work and he is my senator-ugh.He is so anti-woman that it scares me.He will be spearheading the way to a national abortion ban licketty split if he is veep.Another ugh!He needs to be shunned( I wrote this earlier on another Substack). He is very bad news for women and the future of democracy in this country.
Violence against women is a favorite of his. He’d not be so happy if, like my daughter, he found his daughter murdered and placed in the bathtub with her throat slit in a domestic violence incident.
This is how I found my 25 year old while her murderer slept in her bed.
He so sick that still may not change his teeny mind.
This triggers my PTSD so I don’t know why I think commenting will help but never does …
totally agree, this will help the Biden/Harris ticket ! The information about this loser needs to spread like wildfire and it will be challenging since MSM will not do their job.
ok folks, why is THIS piece making people cancel their subscriptions at three times the normal rate of attrition? I'm mystified. is there a full moon today?
Maybe it was because you went to easy on Jade D Vance? As an Ohioan, I apologize that this money-grubbing bootlicking amoral dirtbag was sent to the Senate by the Magazombies of our once kinda ok state. On top of it all, he is a big do nothing (except for himself), just like his felonious boss.
I couldn't agree more. I grew up in Ohio but lived in the DC area for the last 40 years before moving back five years ago to take care of my parents. It's not the same place I grew up in. It has embraced bitterness, lawlessness, ignorance, and being backward. At least that's true for much of the white population.
Missing is that Donald Trump does not want a VP. He is a fascist and they like to keep the power all to themselves. I think the Heritage Foundation is happy, because with Vance they plan on keeping to the agenda they have laid out, and Trump might be a bit unreliable. However, I am happy because it makes the ticket that much more unpalatable, especially when people start finding out about and understanding Project 2025.
Are you serious? Damn, if I wasn’t a subscriber already I would subscribe because of this.
And btw, never like now I’m happy I don’t have a family with children and grandchildren, because with the way things are shaping I would be worried about their life and freedom,so much so to have a heart attack, as is I’m so angry furious appalled that now it’s not just one black soulless person, but two🤬🤬I just can’t help wondering what kind of woman,educated at that, can be married to men like this
Good question, Jeff. I'm sorry I don't have an answer. I would think this piece would have people, like me, sharing your post with others who need to see it. I'd hope you'd get more subscriptions. Your daily posts keep us all at least somewhat sane in this totally fucked up insane time. Thank you from one grateful citizen!
I don't know, there's nothing about this piece that should trigger it. Perhaps it is people trying to avoid thinking about how bad things actually are and could well continue to be. A misguided attempt to avoid depression? I have not canceled any subscriptions (except for the NYT and WaPo, years ago), but I have been minimizing my time on a a couple of comment sections of the two sites I look at regularly (still read the articles) because of all the lecturing doomsayers who seem to have taken over the place are enjoying yelling at each other. So many people who are convinced that Dump and JayDee are winners and Joe and Kamala can't possible be, and getting nasty with people who think it is not over yet. I think the doomsayers, the MSM, and the cannibalistic democrats are, as usual, not paying attention to women. I will be very surprised if a rapist like Dump and an amazing political 'ho like JayDee see the inside of the White House. Keep on keeping on - some of the subscribers will be back.
Edit: I am not seeing the behavior of commenters described above on this site.
Not a clue why this is triggering cancelations, when it should be ramping up subscriptions. Maybe we are living in a crazy, upside down world. Or perhaps there are some closet James Donald lovers out there?
Wonder if Little Donny Convict picked Vance nee Bowman because they share a name?
Relating to your spike in attrition: there are MAGATs out there who say “democrats need to be shot” (per my over-the-top MAGA friend in AZ; he lost his eyesight to AMD and is not internet savvy, but he accurately repeats the Faux News and far-right talking points with drama and scary anger).
IF that MAGA mantra is to be believed, beyond yard signs and bumper stickers, where do these nut cases find democrats? From voter rolls (are they even public?), or from various social media site postings?
IF any of the above “Conspiracy Theory, Twilight Zone” stuff has the remotest chance of being even partially true, and since your site is probably one of the most influential parsers of our current perilous political climate, then the people who think that this ‘democrat cleansing’ is a real thing might, just to be on the safe side, start deleting any online postings or traceable activity, starting with your site. Please say it isn’t so...
You’re correct Gaily, Before the 2020 election I was reading an article, don’t remember which publication, maybe WaPo or NYT, & I started reading the comments. Man, did it ever get dark & violent. One MAGA suggested getting the Democrat voter rolls with home addresses then going up to the house, knock on the door, & then when they open the door, blow them away.
Another one was talking about turning semi trucks over across the hwys in CA & starting some kind of shootout. The scary part is, all those SOBs are armed to the teeth, & I believe some of them absolutely would do shit like that.
To write a comment you have to pay/ so maybe the Trolls here, who paid, decided that they were done trying to sway our opinion and thoughts, and decided to
As likely; in fact there are several paths to fascist/autocratic takeover. If every woman just recognizes the misogyny inherent in all the rhetoric, women will prevail.
1. It isn't solely women's responsibility to fight for equal rights any more than it was the sole responsibility of Black people or LGBTQ+ people or any other marginalized group. In fact, most marg. groups are so small that they would *never* accomplish their goals if not for help from non-members who understand the need for equal rights / equal protection for all. So PLEASE let's stop putting this fight solely on the shoulders of women! Any man who loves, likes, or respects women, or is simply committed to the goal of equal rights / equal protection needs to be *just* as committed to this fight.
2. Sadly, some women *don't* know. They've been raised in ultra-patriarchal homes and brainwashed by ultra-patriarchal churches or other orgs. djt, sadly, has a lot of support among white women.
3. jdv is married! His wife isn't the only self-hating woman to marry a man who hates women.
When I was a teen, becoming pregnant meant you were "visiting with Aunt Mabel, and going to school there for a year". Having an abortion was Nuclear-level secrecy in the immed family. Or parents were told you were spending the weekend with a friend. Parents never told, even decades later. I bet with no contraception or abortion, no GOP funding for the extra children will be approved.
Holy shit! Never considered that. I remember when my VP promoted a young, ambitious and decidedly more talented man to Director. In a year, the VP was in the dust and the director got his job. Classic, if you think about it.
Steve Bannon, Mike Flynn, Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Stephen Miller are right there too. Some or all may be plotting. Alex Jones + the guy posted talking assassination. Not counting Putin, Kim, Xi + Iran.
Agree with you. trump is deteriorating and, once he is no longer useful to the Kremlin or those who put him in power... (not going to finish the sentence)...
“Got all the way through the Constitution and did not find the provision whereby the South African oligarchs select the vice-presidential nominees on behalf of the Russian dictator.”
That pretty much says it all. There was a reason why the Kremlin cheered when the shit weasel won in 2016. Now 8 years later, Putin gets the team of Russian assets that he's been waiting a long time for. Will MSM bring this out in the open like they should? Just a wild guess that it will be not a fucking chance in hell.
"Will MSM bring this out in the open like they should? Just a wild guess that it will be not a fucking chance in hell."
With respect, comments like this don't help. The MSM is facts-based. It's not Fox. NBC / NYT / WaPo etc. aren't going to make assertions that aren't backed up by documentation.
Yes, lots of us are pissed off about the "Should Biden be replaced?" articles -- but they are FACTS-BASED! They are based on sources providing the NYT etc. with verifiable info.
*****PLEASE stop bashing the MSM.***** When you do that, you help the right; you help Putin. I've spend much of my career in newsrooms, and I know how reporters/editors operate, plus I know that virtually everyone who works in a newsroom does so bc they're an idealist or at least somewhat idealistic: they believe in fair play; they want the system to work for everyone.
MSM is 'fact-based'? Are you kidding?? Seems MSM is mostly opinions and polls...not facts at all. And aren't billionaire plutocrats controlling them too?
They don't deal in "facts" anymore. Everything is a slanted opinion, dressed up as a "news" story. They print/report what their corporate billionaire owners and boards want them to push.
A while ago our local NBC affiliate was telling us that the asshole ted “do nothing” cruz was touting how a chips manufacturer was coming to a small town in texas. Asshole cruz voted against the chips act, but do you think that was mentioned? Hell fucking no! I immediately sent an email to KXAN and reminded them that he voted against it and they didn’t bother to mention that rather important fact. All I got, as expected, was crickets. So don’t tell me to not complain about the MSM. Besides, it’s not The Handmaid’s Tale yet and I really see a lot of myself in June. Unfortunately, I’m almost 69 so I’ll be going to the mines where I will lose all my teeth and die a poisonous death.
And with Thiel's money behind him, JD can actually put in play the apparent wet dream of Bannon, Alex Jones, and others: "if anything happens" to Trump, put Michael Flynn on the ticket. Flynn is 1000% in on Project 2025 and White Christian Nationalism who is totally used to getting money from Putin. (He used to be a regular commenter on RT.) Vance / Flynn forever...
Democrats and President Biden have to prepare for when they lose big,what they're going to do, because they aren't going to crawl back under the rock they crawled out from,when they say they're going to fight,I believe we can take that literally.
If Biden/Harris loses, I can pretty much bet there is no action plan. By then it will be too late. There will not be an immediated plan to challenge or fight back strong. If they lose from election fraud they will not be strong enough to take charge and investigate...They'll get kicked right to curb so quick by the project 25 insurrectionists. They will comply like well behaved, high-road Americans and allow the King to become dictator on Day one without a challenge. prove me wrong.
Im so sorry to be pessimistic but it frustrates me to no end that Biden does not dominate stronger. As a politician he is wonderful, and he gets things done as far as policies go and is a good man.
I am long beyond my childbearing years. My deepest concern is the overt publication of Project 2025 and what is in store for every female in AMERICA. FOR EVERY PERSON OF COLOR ,AHEISTS( I AM ONE),IMMIGRANT( I AM ONE) ,LIBERAL DEMOCRAT( I AM ONE). AND SO ON!!...THIS THING SHOULD SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF ALL OF US. IT MUST BE STOPPED WITH OUR BLUE VOTES!!!
I just wanna know if Jay Dee uses Maybelline eyeliner. 🤔
"a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives".... Fuck this guy.
He should help the Biden Harris ticket in a BIG way.
Vance is repellent. he's not attracting any undecideds
I agree. Fuck him and the Ankle biters going after Biden too.
Love this,Patris!
Thanks. Trying but failing to be nice about it.
P, ya know, when you've hit the end of righteous indignation sometimes, you just gotta say "what the fuck". As for the above brief comment, I'm for it.
Thank you - I’m trying not to turn every comment blue but they’re making it tougher every day.
Why bother being “ nice” to those folks?
Right. He and his performative fuckery extolling guns around the house can shove it.
He looks like the only thing he could attract is lice.
Ted Cruz called,he wants his pubic hair beard back.
Ok I just snorted
😂😂😂😂😂
He's a shaggy piece of 💩
Wonkette calls him a pile of butthair.
Totally agree. WTH is Trump thinking????? But I'm glad.
I suspect the choice was based on money and JD had the best financial support. Trump is always about the money.
And the looks. I'm sure he's convinced that Vance - eyeliner and all - has the steel-blue-eyed look that sells tickets (and votes). And the "brown" wife may buy some "ethnic cred" without getting in the way of running the show. /s
Usha is apparently in the Nimarata Haley mold: child of non-white immigarants but somehow arch conservative. Looking at you too, "Bobby" Jindal. They ignore that conservatives do not represent their interests in any way, ethnically, religiously, racially, or economically; if the conservatives had their way, people of color would not even be in the country. I'll never understand it. And then she marries an misogynist POS. Wow
Somehow arch-conservative. The generation that immigrated would have been high-caste Indians. Well-educated as would have been the norm, likely from money. In this country, their struggles included having to live without servants. Conservatism is not surprising.
I student of mine loved visiting grandparents in India and riding on the pet elephant kept in the family compound. Grandpa was a judge.

Then, I grew up and realized people have free will & if they have any critical thinking skills whatsoever, they'd throw that bullshit overboard.
Then I'm back to my old judge-y self.
Nick Fuentes--virulent racist and Trump's dinner partner with Ye at Mar-a-Lago---is already vocally none too happy about Mrs. Vance's skin tone.
He won't be the only one, they are the party of White Nationalism.
I think where the Democrats get in trouble is making assumptions about people based on their skin color. Assuming all people who are not white share, similar political outlook is dangerous same thing with gay people. Clarence Thomas, Ariel Rose, Kanye, Tim Scott, Aileen Cannon, Peter Thiel and Grennell- all people who define democratic stereotypes of what they should want. Perhaps the party needs to get out of the business of generalizing groups as bad as Trump with his Black Jobs nonsense.

The language, and feminine and masculine words is way older than anyone’s social movement to read engineer communication so to not offend people
My vote in the what-do-dems-do-wrong focuses on the mistaken idea that promoting policy and plans and intricate ideas will win elections.
Couldn't be more wrong.
Voters vote with their emotions first and foremost and then backfill with facts to support the emotional decision, as though the choice were logical.
Thank you for calling out Latinx.
And many Hispanics are not “people of color”, but as white as their European forebearers.
Peter Theil was the sugar-daddy that launched a guy with no political eperience into a senator seat. He's only been a senator for a couple of years.
Yeah, the only reason he won’t be included when these Evangelicals & Catholics start sending gays off to re-orientation camps or prison, is that he’s loaded with money.
Theil bought a compound and citizenship in New Zealand, he’s not stupid, he know what a toxic wasteland they will make out of our country, which being a bad immigrant (same as Musk who came here as an adult) he has no loyalty towards.
'Trump thinking'? , that's hysterical!!!
A true Oxymoron, Trump Think is....
Trump's not calling the shots
Merrick Garland, follow the money! The shots are being called by people who have bought the judiciary. They bought SCOTUS so they could effectively execute another Bush Vs. Gore 2.0. WAKE THE F UP A.G. GARLAND???!!!
God, I hope that Jack Smith creams these guys with his response to Aileen Cannon dismissing the classified documents case. He should levy some additional heart-stopping indictments to broil the bastards. If the FBI can find shenanigans with Senator Menendez, than they can find the Leonard Leo > Thomas > Cannon conspiracy to obstruct justice no problem.
dont hold your breath on anything on Merrick do-nothing Garland.
It frustrates me Biden allows him to be useless. It's like we dont even have an AG.....what a joke
I remember how wonderful our 82nd U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder, was duing the Obama admin. He took care of business and got shit done.
Merrick Garland and Christopher Wray have been completely useless.
Dishonorable mention to James "Her Emails" Comey, too.
Might as well be Vlad Putin for VP.
Vlad is the Chairman of the Rethuglican party.
It isn't?
Speaking of Shitler and shots -- WTF is his medical report and how come he didn't have a bandage the day after it happened while he was out playing golf, but he did the next day at the Rethuglican CONvention?
Exactly
trump sees himself in Vance, a similarly unprincipled ass kisser of those placed above him. And trump loves his ass being kissed
Probably JD came to him,with tears streaming down his face...
"It would be the greatest honor of my life, sir, to serve as your running mate, the running mate of the greatest president the world has ever seen, the things that were did like no one has ever seen before, the huge... the batteries won't, uhh, those sharks wouldn't be having you for dinner like Hannibal Lecter, uhh..."
🏆 🇺🇸 😂😂😂
Now that being Hitler is cool (to them).
Wasn't Lorena Bobbit a big proponent of 'no-fault divorce'??
LOL I dont know...😂😂
😂😂😂
My heroine!!
Yep, I read years after that incident, that he regularly used her as a punching bag.
The way Rethuglican men are talking about & treating women these days, there may be a few more Lorena’s pop up.
😂😂
Oohhh, gummies have kicked in. I was like she's an insult to trailer trash,hands, brainless & a skank. Never heard her views *thank God* on divorce.
TRump just wants someone who will be subservient to the King!… what a bunch of bulls***
Donald Trump? Thinking??
🤣😂😁😆😅😄😁😳
He doesn’t think, he reacts.
Trump is nothing if not dependable. In ANY given situation, he will make the worst possible choice. At least we now know that Haley's voters won't go NEAR Trump, no matter who she may or may not endorse.
I hope so. Would be heartened if a poll shows that.
He's a dominator like Trump, and that scares me. That seems to be very attractive.
Definitely the 'never had consensual sex' crowd.
That's a republican prerequisite.
To whom?
He's trying to play the role of an alpha male.
Yes, rather badly, I know doms, he is a bottom, looking for a "dom daddy" like Putin, same as the Orange-a-tan.
You're right. He invited Stormy Daniels to spank him with a magazine. But he's got a lot of people fooled.
Few minutes I could stomach last night, the two "alphas" and & Jr were interesting. Packs on the back, handshake, looking each other over.
I haven't watched a convention in years. Of either variety. Nothing but propaganda. But thanks for the report!
I sure hope he isn’t. But Jeff keep in mind that what Putin wants, Putin gets. Look around the world all his picks. He has octopus’s fingers everywhere. Take it from Alexander Litvinenko who lost his life to Polonium 210 in central London over a cup of tea for having exposed him for what he is and his plans for the West. Try to find the book he finished from his death bed in 2006 DEATH OF A DISSIDENT by Alex Goldfarb and Marina Litvinenko. Here you’ll find in detail Putin’s playbook and now Trump/Vance and the entire GOP’s. I was still living in London and following the story.
I agree, but Putin , I assume , didnt get what he wanted in 2020
That's why he is doubling down this time. The press tried to scam us that he would win to supress voting. Same as they are doing now.
Thank you Rusalka, I went straight to Audible & bought it!!
Wonder what Byron Donalds and Tim Scott are thinking today,it's probably not 'damn!! We missed it BY THIS MUCH!!'
Speaking of missed it by this much, you have to wonder how many ambitious Republicans were bummed that Donald survived. Who had the most to gain with Donald's assassination? Hmmm? Not the Dems. I think Jeff's connect the dots and the Alex Jones two-fer of getting a new slate of repubs while green lighting the MAGA to go hunting liberals in retaliation for a repub executed execution is very possible.
Who benefits indeed? Question 2: who benefits from a purposeful missed shot? Drumph is getting attention & sympathies. But he's an awful coward. Would any of us agree to have an AK shot at our head, get thru the terror to remember "time to turn your head"? For any reason?
I know what Donalds and Scott are NOT thinking: All that trump ass kissing was for naught
Niki Haley too, DeSantis, all of the prostraters, they are so much toilet paper to the malignant narcissist pathological liar.
Right, they misread him by a mile, JoyAnn Reid said it out loud on tv that they were debasing themselves for nothing. LDFF would never in a million years choose one of them for VP.
That's a relief. Now let's see how many defectors they get...
Interesting. No wonder RM hates the pick... (Negative charisma beats repellent every time) :/
He's another cats-anus mouth guy, or maybe it is is his prissy expression.
I was going to say—does the Republican Party think their voter suppression efforts will be THAT successful?
I guess winning the cases sometimes isn't really the goal, it's to sow doubt,so they can just reinforce the same lies over and over again.
::sigh:: Never mind—they knew they didn't have to bother because they could count on the Clinton NeoLibs in the DNC and the Mainstream Media to do the work FOR them.
I spend the last three days prepping for a "procedure" and having it, go home and get my first decent sleep since then, and wake up to this shit!:

Sympathies on your husband's passing. 💐
I agree with you but I would skip the cat. I’m severely allergic. But I have Dachshunds. 🙂
I've been happily and intentionally unmarried with dogs my whole life!
I’ve been divorced about 5-6 yrs now, & I’m happy with just me & my 6 dogs.
I have a female cat, she is great. We live together, just us. A good team.
My cat is named 'Ringo', I believe he thinks we should give peace a chance too,when he's finished licking himself, I'll check.
LOL , totally relate....she licks herself all day long....wiping away all my love kisses from her fur.
🏆 😂🥳🥳🥳
Yep.
My daughter votes Democrat also.
And I believe,they're definitely in Norway...
totally agree and that's what I thought too, "What kind of eye liner does he use?"
Seems he's still pissed he didn't win 'RuPaul's Drag Race'
It looks to be brown, brown eyeliner is more subtle than dramatic black. In fact, the only subtle thing about DJT Vance is his eyeliner.
It looks brown, black eyeliner is more subtle - in fact it’s the only subtle about this organism.
It's tattooed on, same as mine, it lasts for years, mine is over a decade.
Only his hairdresser knows for sure
I thought the same thing. He’s going to be the gift that keeps on giving to the Dems.
I believe he's going to spend the next 2 months claiming he was 'misquoted by the woke MSM' and 'that was taken out of context'.
No doubt. Doesn’t have the guts to own what he said.
Good thing it's on tape. All these red states that turned their backs on fed $ for kids summer food programs. Food pantries overrun, parents struggling. Why refuse?! It's available NOW, but red govs I guess prefer giving finger to Biden, preferring hungry kids.
🙏🏻🤞🏻🙏🏻
Saundra… 🤞🏻🙏🏻🤞🏻
I think there's two demographics in the GQP. The first one is greedy fucking grifting bastards. The second is functionally illiterate. Vance is about revenge. He's got a shit ton of shame he projects on the rest of us. He walks and talks shame. His hatred of women stems from his childhood. He's an insecure fucking broken man hell bent on making us all pay for his psychosis.
I couldn’t have said it better. Vance oozes self hatred. (I read his book).
I had no idea he was the author of that book. I wouldn't have read it to begin with.
The name was a turn-off and I believe Oprah boosted him to best-sellerdom. They never give her credit, though.
He may have self hatred or shame about his roots; but my bet is on he hates his Mom & he’s going to make all women pay for the mistakes he thinks she made.
Definitely broken inside like Trump.
Thats perfect, Lisa... well said. Vance IS all about shame. 👏👏👏
They all seem to want to get even with some imagined enemy.
And those are the good points.
I think he hates his Mom, & all other women are gonna pay for it
Yes, he’s a real piece of work and he is my senator-ugh.He is so anti-woman that it scares me.He will be spearheading the way to a national abortion ban licketty split if he is veep.Another ugh!He needs to be shunned( I wrote this earlier on another Substack). He is very bad news for women and the future of democracy in this country.
I think he got the eyeliner tattoo to make bogus permanent. Like his name change to Vance, which means bedbug in Yiddish.
JD was right to grow his beard. He was baby-faced without it. I wonder about eyeliner, too.
I think the part about accusing cat ladies of wishing misery on others is classic projection. JD doesn’t smile much, as far as I have seen.
Violence against women is a favorite of his. He’d not be so happy if, like my daughter, he found his daughter murdered and placed in the bathtub with her throat slit in a domestic violence incident.
This is how I found my 25 year old while her murderer slept in her bed.
He so sick that still may not change his teeny mind.
This triggers my PTSD so I don’t know why I think commenting will help but never does …
Ohmygod. I cannot fathom what that terrible experience was like. How deeply tragic for you. (insert hug here)
Thank you so much. 🙏
I am so sorry for your loss.
*hugs* I can't even...all the love and healing to you.
I’m sure it rips your soul when you tell it, but I thank you for doing so & I’m so sorry about your daughter.
I'm so sorry this happened to your family. Every parents worst nightmare. That kind of pain never ends. So sorry.
totally agree, this will help the Biden/Harris ticket ! The information about this loser needs to spread like wildfire and it will be challenging since MSM will not do their job.
JD is using the eyeliner his stylist purchased on Amazon
He got "guyliner" done, permanent tatooed eyeliner. I noticed it right away because I have had it done, way before this douchebro though.
I think he just did, unknowingly this guy is piece of work.
ok folks, why is THIS piece making people cancel their subscriptions at three times the normal rate of attrition? I'm mystified. is there a full moon today?
Maybe it was because you went to easy on Jade D Vance? As an Ohioan, I apologize that this money-grubbing bootlicking amoral dirtbag was sent to the Senate by the Magazombies of our once kinda ok state. On top of it all, he is a big do nothing (except for himself), just like his felonious boss.
I still can't get over that Ohio picked this reptile over Tim Ryan. WTF????
I couldn't agree more. I grew up in Ohio but lived in the DC area for the last 40 years before moving back five years ago to take care of my parents. It's not the same place I grew up in. It has embraced bitterness, lawlessness, ignorance, and being backward. At least that's true for much of the white population.
Ohio is part of the Texas Florida insanity.
Missing is that Donald Trump does not want a VP. He is a fascist and they like to keep the power all to themselves. I think the Heritage Foundation is happy, because with Vance they plan on keeping to the agenda they have laid out, and Trump might be a bit unreliable. However, I am happy because it makes the ticket that much more unpalatable, especially when people start finding out about and understanding Project 2025.
Easy? That was easy? Didn't seem 'easy' to me.
Are you serious? Damn, if I wasn’t a subscriber already I would subscribe because of this.
And btw, never like now I’m happy I don’t have a family with children and grandchildren, because with the way things are shaping I would be worried about their life and freedom,so much so to have a heart attack, as is I’m so angry furious appalled that now it’s not just one black soulless person, but two🤬🤬I just can’t help wondering what kind of woman,educated at that, can be married to men like this
Well, ONE of them is educated; the other one just flat lied & had LDFF’s money buy her citizenship.
Good question, Jeff. I'm sorry I don't have an answer. I would think this piece would have people, like me, sharing your post with others who need to see it. I'd hope you'd get more subscriptions. Your daily posts keep us all at least somewhat sane in this totally fucked up insane time. Thank you from one grateful citizen!
Jeff, I am mystified too.
Maybe they are freaking out after learning more about Vance and redirecting their funds to Get Out the Vote organizations. 🤷
I don't know, there's nothing about this piece that should trigger it. Perhaps it is people trying to avoid thinking about how bad things actually are and could well continue to be. A misguided attempt to avoid depression? I have not canceled any subscriptions (except for the NYT and WaPo, years ago), but I have been minimizing my time on a a couple of comment sections of the two sites I look at regularly (still read the articles) because of all the lecturing doomsayers who seem to have taken over the place are enjoying yelling at each other. So many people who are convinced that Dump and JayDee are winners and Joe and Kamala can't possible be, and getting nasty with people who think it is not over yet. I think the doomsayers, the MSM, and the cannibalistic democrats are, as usual, not paying attention to women. I will be very surprised if a rapist like Dump and an amazing political 'ho like JayDee see the inside of the White House. Keep on keeping on - some of the subscribers will be back.
Edit: I am not seeing the behavior of commenters described above on this site.
Dunno, amigo. I thought the tone, excoriation and supplemental evidence are all fine, and on-brand.
Maybe they were jonesing for more fucks, those fucking fuckers and fuckkety-fuck-fuck-fucks?
There's always a full moon on Saturn.
Not a clue why this is triggering cancelations, when it should be ramping up subscriptions. Maybe we are living in a crazy, upside down world. Or perhaps there are some closet James Donald lovers out there?
Wonder if Little Donny Convict picked Vance nee Bowman because they share a name?
Donald John and James David?
James Donald Bowman is JD Vance’s birth name
Relating to your spike in attrition: there are MAGATs out there who say “democrats need to be shot” (per my over-the-top MAGA friend in AZ; he lost his eyesight to AMD and is not internet savvy, but he accurately repeats the Faux News and far-right talking points with drama and scary anger).
IF that MAGA mantra is to be believed, beyond yard signs and bumper stickers, where do these nut cases find democrats? From voter rolls (are they even public?), or from various social media site postings?
IF any of the above “Conspiracy Theory, Twilight Zone” stuff has the remotest chance of being even partially true, and since your site is probably one of the most influential parsers of our current perilous political climate, then the people who think that this ‘democrat cleansing’ is a real thing might, just to be on the safe side, start deleting any online postings or traceable activity, starting with your site. Please say it isn’t so...
this would assume Jeff hands out our email addresses ?
You’re correct Gaily, Before the 2020 election I was reading an article, don’t remember which publication, maybe WaPo or NYT, & I started reading the comments. Man, did it ever get dark & violent. One MAGA suggested getting the Democrat voter rolls with home addresses then going up to the house, knock on the door, & then when they open the door, blow them away.
Another one was talking about turning semi trucks over across the hwys in CA & starting some kind of shootout. The scary part is, all those SOBs are armed to the teeth, & I believe some of them absolutely would do shit like that.
To write a comment you have to pay/ so maybe the Trolls here, who paid, decided that they were done trying to sway our opinion and thoughts, and decided to
exit stage-left???
???? Great as usual. Learned
a lot about JD. ???
I have no idea, I’d never cancel my subscription
50% illuminated but not full yet…
Vote for people who aren't putting you in danger.
More affirmatively, vote for people who can help you. Why have a government if they’re not going to help you?
Trump vs the American people is worse than not helping. MAGA wants to destroy everyone but themselves.
The new GOP; 'Grab our P*ssies'
According to the Daily Kos, JD Vance is Putin’s choice for Trump’s VP.
If Trump wins, Putin will control the White House.
It’s all in the kremlin plan, JD is just an action figure in the game. Trump falls out of a window and voila’ a forty year old despot for life.
That has been my worry. Either that or JD files a 25th amendment against Trump and gets him out of there and takes over himself.
As likely; in fact there are several paths to fascist/autocratic takeover. If every woman just recognizes the misogyny inherent in all the rhetoric, women will prevail.
They know.
1. It isn't solely women's responsibility to fight for equal rights any more than it was the sole responsibility of Black people or LGBTQ+ people or any other marginalized group. In fact, most marg. groups are so small that they would *never* accomplish their goals if not for help from non-members who understand the need for equal rights / equal protection for all. So PLEASE let's stop putting this fight solely on the shoulders of women! Any man who loves, likes, or respects women, or is simply committed to the goal of equal rights / equal protection needs to be *just* as committed to this fight.
2. Sadly, some women *don't* know. They've been raised in ultra-patriarchal homes and brainwashed by ultra-patriarchal churches or other orgs. djt, sadly, has a lot of support among white women.
3. jdv is married! His wife isn't the only self-hating woman to marry a man who hates women.
In what fever dream is throwing their daughters under the bus a good move for the country?
When I was a teen, becoming pregnant meant you were "visiting with Aunt Mabel, and going to school there for a year". Having an abortion was Nuclear-level secrecy in the immed family. Or parents were told you were spending the weekend with a friend. Parents never told, even decades later. I bet with no contraception or abortion, no GOP funding for the extra children will be approved.
They are in this fantasy world where hating half the country is a winning game plan.
And 1/2 of the "voters for women haters" will be maga women!
Remember who put up those Confederate statues and monuments,the Daughters of the Confederacy.
I'm sure that's Vlad's plan.
Sounds a bit Sharia too.
Holy shit! Never considered that. I remember when my VP promoted a young, ambitious and decidedly more talented man to Director. In a year, the VP was in the dust and the director got his job. Classic, if you think about it.
Marlene!… just wow!
Steve Bannon, Mike Flynn, Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Stephen Miller are right there too. Some or all may be plotting. Alex Jones + the guy posted talking assassination. Not counting Putin, Kim, Xi + Iran.
Agree with you. trump is deteriorating and, once he is no longer useful to the Kremlin or those who put him in power... (not going to finish the sentence)...
It's looking like this more and more, the Alex Jones clip gave me pause
🫢🤣
Just now from Timothy Snyder on Twitter:
“Got all the way through the Constitution and did not find the provision whereby the South African oligarchs select the vice-presidential nominees on behalf of the Russian dictator.”
Thanks, that was awesome. Tiedrich-worthy.
👍👍👍👍
It’s not in the constitution, but it sure seems like they’ve nearly pulled it off.
That pretty much says it all. There was a reason why the Kremlin cheered when the shit weasel won in 2016. Now 8 years later, Putin gets the team of Russian assets that he's been waiting a long time for. Will MSM bring this out in the open like they should? Just a wild guess that it will be not a fucking chance in hell.
"Will MSM bring this out in the open like they should? Just a wild guess that it will be not a fucking chance in hell."
With respect, comments like this don't help. The MSM is facts-based. It's not Fox. NBC / NYT / WaPo etc. aren't going to make assertions that aren't backed up by documentation.
Yes, lots of us are pissed off about the "Should Biden be replaced?" articles -- but they are FACTS-BASED! They are based on sources providing the NYT etc. with verifiable info.
*****PLEASE stop bashing the MSM.***** When you do that, you help the right; you help Putin. I've spend much of my career in newsrooms, and I know how reporters/editors operate, plus I know that virtually everyone who works in a newsroom does so bc they're an idealist or at least somewhat idealistic: they believe in fair play; they want the system to work for everyone.
MSM is 'fact-based'? Are you kidding?? Seems MSM is mostly opinions and polls...not facts at all. And aren't billionaire plutocrats controlling them too?
🎯
Maybe in some time past.
They don't deal in "facts" anymore. Everything is a slanted opinion, dressed up as a "news" story. They print/report what their corporate billionaire owners and boards want them to push.
A while ago our local NBC affiliate was telling us that the asshole ted “do nothing” cruz was touting how a chips manufacturer was coming to a small town in texas. Asshole cruz voted against the chips act, but do you think that was mentioned? Hell fucking no! I immediately sent an email to KXAN and reminded them that he voted against it and they didn’t bother to mention that rather important fact. All I got, as expected, was crickets. So don’t tell me to not complain about the MSM. Besides, it’s not The Handmaid’s Tale yet and I really see a lot of myself in June. Unfortunately, I’m almost 69 so I’ll be going to the mines where I will lose all my teeth and die a poisonous death.
We would like to believe that this is so.
And with Thiel's money behind him, JD can actually put in play the apparent wet dream of Bannon, Alex Jones, and others: "if anything happens" to Trump, put Michael Flynn on the ticket. Flynn is 1000% in on Project 2025 and White Christian Nationalism who is totally used to getting money from Putin. (He used to be a regular commenter on RT.) Vance / Flynn forever...
Yes just like that
Democrats and President Biden have to prepare for when they lose big,what they're going to do, because they aren't going to crawl back under the rock they crawled out from,when they say they're going to fight,I believe we can take that literally.
If Biden/Harris loses, I can pretty much bet there is no action plan. By then it will be too late. There will not be an immediated plan to challenge or fight back strong. If they lose from election fraud they will not be strong enough to take charge and investigate...They'll get kicked right to curb so quick by the project 25 insurrectionists. They will comply like well behaved, high-road Americans and allow the King to become dictator on Day one without a challenge. prove me wrong.
Im so sorry to be pessimistic but it frustrates me to no end that Biden does not dominate stronger. As a politician he is wonderful, and he gets things done as far as policies go and is a good man.
Gawd, I hope your wrong, it's definitely time to take the gloves off with these clowns.
Susan… ugh…. Shit!… if they win… we are f***ed!!
Yes we could be. We have to vote for Biden in huge numbers to big for the SC to overturn.
🎯
Without question.
He did for 4 years already...
Exactly
I am long beyond my childbearing years. My deepest concern is the overt publication of Project 2025 and what is in store for every female in AMERICA. FOR EVERY PERSON OF COLOR ,AHEISTS( I AM ONE),IMMIGRANT( I AM ONE) ,LIBERAL DEMOCRAT( I AM ONE). AND SO ON!!...THIS THING SHOULD SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF ALL OF US. IT MUST BE STOPPED WITH OUR BLUE VOTES!!!
