    Doesn't look like this was a Halloween or costume party, just JD feeling sexy.

    Holy Shit... I figured this was at least a Halloween costume party. Nope ... just a regular ol frat party.

    Not that there is anything wrong with it.

    It’s pretty great that his beer pong partner appears to be perfectly normal while Vance is just…weird.

    To be fair, it may just be that you don’t know what his beer pong partner was supposed to be dressed up as.

    I’m relatively certain that somewhere in the Facebook ethos I’ve seen fairly similar photos from a Halloween party while I was in law school where most of the people playing beer pong in the photo look fairly normal and one male (neither me nor JD Vance to be clear lol) is dressed up as Hillary Clinton. :D

    Trump is packing out the largest 2,400 person arena you've ever seen in Asheville NC tonight and it is the second largest venue on that street, next to the 7,200 venue accross the street that will be unused tonight. Meanwhile Trump's polling in NC have slipped with Harris pulling ahead .

    I really think Trump has the momentum to get more votes than Biden this fall.

    And yes... they made him PREPAY $82,000



    Trump campaign forced to pay North Carolina city $82K in advance for rally

    Former President Donald Trump's campaign was forced to pay more than $82,000 in advance for this week's rally in Asheville, North Carolina.

    Trump is set to take the stage at Asheville's Thomas Wolfe Auditorium on Wednesday after paying $82,247.60 to the city for a "last-minute" rally, according to Blue Ridge Public Radio (BPR). The campaign, struggling to effectively blunt the momentum of Vice President Kamala Harris, reportedly first contacted the city about the rally on August 8.

    City of Asheville spokesperson Kim Miller told BPR that $22,500 of the amount paid is a two-day rental fee for the auditorium, while "the remainder of the funds go to cover additional costs such as house support, production staff, production equipment rental, and exterior items like queue stanchions and port-a-loos."
    While the campaign paid in advance due to Asheville's policy for short-notice bookings, Trump has a long history of failing to pay cities for billed rally fees, leaving the White House in January 2021 with at least $850,000 in unpaid rally debt. Most of the bills are still unpaid, including more than $500,000 owed to the city of El Paso, Texas.

    The Trump campaign booked the smaller of two venues at the same complex in downtown Asheville for Wednesday's rally. The Thomas Wolfe Auditorium has a capacity of just 2,431 people, while a larger arena next door that is not hosting Trump has a capacity of 7,200.

    Carrying an AK?
    communist.

    I'm happy JD served and I won't denigrate his time as a journalist, at least he served for a few years.
    But Walz served substantially longer at a much higher rank but feel free to compare.

    Yeah, I bet the number of years @Tjgators served is zero ... but he's pretending to be upset that a guy that served 24 years didn't serve 25....

    -Retired Col. Rob Maness wrote on X: “Let me say this one more time. No one is denigrating his actual service record; they’re denigrating the lies he tells about his service record. Walz is dishonoring himself by embellishing his military service record for political gain.”

    -“It’s not ‘degrading someone’s service record’ to point out that they lied about serving in combat repeatedly,” said retired USAF pilot Dale Stark.



    -I spent 25 years in the Army, and I hunt … I’ve been voting for common-sense legislation that protects the Second Amendment, but we can do background checks. We can do CDC research … We can make sure that those weapons of war that I carried in war is the only place where those weapons are at.
    *Problem is he never went to war. He bailed 2 months after he found out he would be going to Iraq.

    Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), who is facing accusations of stolen valor, allegedly falsely claimed in a previous press release that he was a veteran of Afghanistan.

    I can keep going. It wasn't about comparing service or length of service.
