    Personally, I think he should tell us more. I see he is the salt of the earth kind of background. He comes from a small town like me that was devastated with Clinton sending all our jobs to Mexico and then having not only a parent get addicted to drugs but also family and friends. His background and mine are very similar except I never enlisted, but all the males in my family were Marines. SO I say Semper Fi and keep talking JD.

    He’s a fraud.

    My dad is Army. My brothers are Navy/Marines. Even the MIL is Navy.

    Good on all. And all: never vote for them for anything important.

    That's your right. I Just see so many similarities between myself and JD in our backgrounds. I think more American's that have risen from the ashes like JD have should run for more offices. I had mental illness issues and autism that caused me to struggle mightily, but I am FINALLY trying to turn myself around though learning and studying the Gospel. I might not be successful in the secular word, I only want to be a shining example of God and what he can do.

    And good for you too GP. I am rooting for you, sincerely.

    Just pick a better representative. I’m the hillbilly of his elegy. He’s a fake and will mos def let you down.

    I’llnot go down the whole Emmitto history, but I will just point out a couple. My (Navy) brother is a recovering pill addict. My Marine brother is essentially disabled. My mom is a recovering alcoholic. My stepdad is a retired coal miner that never graduated from HS. I am the only family member to have completed college. And I did it twice.

    And one you might like: I called my great-grandmother “mamaw.” Just like JD!

    This may sound very much like our boy. But I know better.

    He’s an observer and an opportunist. He undoubtedly is aware, but he didn’t truly live it. No one who grew up like “us” would have the hate for everything outside of his tiny lane like he does.

    The primary reason I am somewhere between anarchist and libertarian is because I experienced oppression at every step. I get asked if I’m a cop today, because of physical traits. Also just this week someone guessed that I was from Alabama because of my accent. I was born in Detroit and raised in Virginia. And the guess was def an insult. I have a master’s degree from a law school, and this cat was putting me in my place. Not for long, but that was his goal. I’ll never outrun these silos.

    43 year-old unmarried cat ladies ain’t ******** with me, and pose zero threat. Including the autistic ones with mental issues. They are just people trying to make it work, just like me.

    Unlike Vance I find you credible and worthy of support. I just hope you can find an equally worthy inspiration.

    Vance wrote the foreward for a book authored by Kevin Roberts, who is the head of the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025. Trump is now trying to distance himself from the project though he has long standing ties with the project's authors and sponsors.

    I appreciate your kind words to myself. I guess we just see things differently. No one person are the same from looks, beliefs, and many more. We shall see in the long run.

    "Critics also highlighted Vance’s authoring of the foreword to an upcoming book by Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation who has advocated for a “second American revolution” he hopes will remain “bloodless.” Roberts is the head of Project 2025 — a far-right policy blueprint from which Trump has fought to distance himself.

    "In a review of the book, Vance wrote: “We are now all realizing that it’s time to circle the wagons and load the muskets. In the fights that lie ahead, these ideas are an essential weapon.”

    “I’m a little surprised they didn’t vet him as thoroughly as they should have, or if they did, did they not know he was writing the foreword to Kevin Roberts’ book,” said a Republican strategist and veteran of multiple presidential campaigns, granted anonymity to speak freely. “So, you’ve got Trump trashing this Project 2025, and Vance writing the foreword.”

    "And that’s not to mention the countless memes suggesting Vance had intimate relations with a couch in his youth following a disinformation post on social media, made worse by the fact that the Associated Press published an article with the headline “No, JD Vance did not have sex with a couch,” then retracting it because the story “didn’t go through our standard editing process,” according to AP spokesperson Nicole Meir."

    We could also say Liberal derangement Syndrome, but I believe ppl have the right to their beliefs and opinions. Your post was not necessary.

    Near future business headline:

    “Sales of couches plummet in Q3 2024”

    “The furniture industry has been badly shaken by the false but otherwise hard to forget meme involving JD Vance and his falsely alleged sexual interactions with couches”

    This just in, more AP fact checking:

    No, JD Vance has not been nicknamed J-DirtyVanchez by Trump because of his excessive ass kissing.

    Tom Eagleton was a better choice for VP than Vance. At least Eagleton was trying to get help for his mental health problens.

    Dolphin porn, JD? Seriously?

    I see some people don't like The Gospel says. I have my opinion on who I am voting for, but in the grad scheme of things if i had my choice I only care about what Jesus says and it doesn't matter if you vote Harris or Trump. I am voting for Jesus in the long run. I could care less about either.

    The depravity of their “creativity” is noteworthy.

    Almost everyone Trump hires either finds out Trump is an idiot and turns on him, or the hire is an actual idiot that Trump hired.
    JD dropping out with just be a continuation of this trend and I don't think maga would care or the sane world would be surprised.

    My views on Vance speaking is let him speak. This man has the classic condition of diarrhea of the mouth and constipation of the brain.
