give me a break - Ohio was ground zero for corruption

JD is NOT a christian - NOT a smart guy - he is VILE and would throw his wife and children under a bus to gain power and influence - HE IS SMALL MINDED

He’s also in cahoots with the scariest people in the country: the heritage foundation. They are literally scheming to eliminate jobs with AI and then they’ll need to eliminate excess people (Medicaid, SNAP, vaccines, the people who harvest our food and the prices of that food). They want to thin the population. That’s who Vance is.

Cory Booker has done some terrific things - but this discussion reveals again the out of step messaging and positions of dems

I'm not disagreeing at this point, but what messaging would you suggest?

more what Cory and other Dems won't venture to speak about....too often tread as lightly as the NYTimes....not so much what they say as what they don't say and definitely the hesitation and lack of action ....thinking to reason and take the high road to set an example will work.....it doesn't - not with evil-minded culprits, not with MAGA and compliant used-to-be-republicans

J. D. Vance is the Artful Dodger. Notice how he carved his way between the "release the Epstein files," but crickets now? Notice how Sen. Rand Paul said Vance "almost" voted no on the BBB? The point is, Vance voted "yes."

But when/if he gets a chance to succeed DJT, he can call on all of those "bothsides" moments to rationalize almost any stand. J.D. is a canny little ambitious son of a gun. He is a product of MAGA Ohio, whether or not he identifies with being Peter Thiel's model "son."

JDV is not a real hillbilly… it just sold his book.

What strikes me about Vance and Trump is they both experienced xtreme childhood trauma. The movie of Hillbilly Elegy clearly portrayed the dysfunction in Vance's family and the instability, even craziness, of his mother who dragged her son around as she changed partners. Even the support of his maw-maw couldn't suffice to heal the hurt, evidently. If it had, I believe he would have chosen to serve not harm his hillbilly community, which will now lose medical services and food aid due to the big bad bill he cast the deciding vote to pass.

JD is so hungry for power he would replace an alligator to eat your children to get more power and influence

I want to know why children are in chains I want to know where they are going

We need you in Bloomington, IN. I just came from a Women's Democratic Caucus meeting. Regina Moore remembers meeting you here. I am President of the Monroe County Democrats' Club who would like to invite you here for our Sept 16 meeting. You can email jenn@morgensternbooks.com to set up an author event on that date. They can have off-site events for authors.

Cory always has pretty and completely meaningless words. It’s the curse of the Plouffe “Be intentional about building community” pablum they fed Kamala instead of letting them stick with “weird!”.

Great story about the Suffragists.

S. A. Linden's avatar

Well, in truth some of those going to the suffragists' parade had tomatoes. Whatever works... it certainly gave Wilson a heads up.
