Forget JD….. I propose a new moniker for BowmanVance: JIMMY D

Glorifies his origin story. I believe it was Jeff T who coined the Fauxbilly last name. Excellent, of course.

Let’s start using Jimmy D instead of JD.

An easy way to re-attach him to his roots that he has been attempting to cut, every since he has gone through multiple re-births and repositioning of his brand

Who could have foreseen that the founding of a nation by a bunch of religious wingnuts would manifest, years later, as an ineradicable strain of credulity, a stubborn belief in what is rationally, clearly untrue?

Look at Canada and Australia. They, like us, are young democracies with a frontier mentality that had terrible consequences for indigenous people. But unlike the US, they weren't founded by radical religious extremists. And it shows, because even though their elected bodies contain a few weirdos, they don't have anywhere near the number that we do, or anyone who is as breathtakingly stupid as are mtg and bobo.

For about the 10,000th time in my life, I wish that my immigrant grandparents had chosen the UK or Canada or Australia.

I think that the stupids of today are far stupider than the stupids of yesterday.

The 40+ years of assault on the middle class has destroyed and angered a lot of people -- has radicalized them such that they angrily listen to and elect people like mtg and bobo, who wouldn't have stood a chance before, say, 2008 (= before palin made conspiracy-theory-type stupidity acceptable at the national political level; before the Great Recession made life even worse for the already-destroyed).

Yes, and the assault on the working class, too. Although my relatives who bought homes are still doing ok after they retired (with the help of Social Security and Medicare).. But now the poor, the working class and middle class in some places is having to contend with soaring rents and natural disaster after disaster like floods, wildfires, mudslides, and avalanches, etc.

More hypocrisy from jd, exposed in the Rolling Stone article (which is disturbing -- you might not want to read it): The co. that he invests in "tests cell therapies and other drugs that are likely derived from stem cell lines, including those recovered from aborted fetuses or live embryos."

So he's 100% pro-life when that viewpoint controls women -- but he'll make an exception when he can extract some money from an aborted fetus or live embryo.

I understand, but while a lot of us "informed types" are already talking about it, the MSM is pooh-poohing it (surprise surprise) and a lot of people haven't heard about it and among those of us who have, many haven't seen it. Since it's actually pretty hard to really believe it really happened, seeing it is important.

notice how the guy doing the video of McShartyPants has to give all that vocal esteem building - "oooh almost! Ooooh so close! Oooh it's not you it's the COURSE!" Also if it's Mcshartypants' course he must have played it hundreds of times so wouldn't he know how the course works on fucking putts? how the greens affect his balls (not in THAT way please).

Expand full comment
DonP's avatar

Well, the greens play could be affected by whether or not the hole is moved around periodically.

That said though, you'd think that as often as he plays he'd at least be a whole lot better at it. I mean, the only reason I think he still sucks is because no-one tells him how to improve his game, and even if they did, he probably thinks he knows better than someone who earns a living at the game.

Robin's avatar

I keep wondering that too. Even if he's a terrible player/slow learner, with the amount of time he has spent playing golf over the decades, you'd think he'd at least be decent. I guess the "10,000 hours" theory doesn't apply to him.

Expand full comment
DonP's avatar

According to people who have played with him and don't have an interest in kissing his butt, he is decent at it, but he's by no means a "scratch" golfer. As often as he plays, and as many "club championships" as he claims to have won his handicap should be at either zero, or less. And it isn't.

My theory is he's like the king with no clothes. He's not as good as he claims, but everyone around him has no interest in helping him improve because his narcissism tells him he's already great at it, and "better than the pros I'm so good".

Just like his idiotic claim that all those scientists told him he was so smart he grasped the concepts of the research they were doing, all the while everyone of them looked uncomfortable with his lie.
