    I had heard this is the story of JD Vance.

    When he was young he “thought he was gay”. While he was in college, he met Peter Thiel, a gay billionaire who had come to his campus for some talk or something. When they met, the gay billionaire really took an interest in this man who thought he was gay.

    At some point, JD Vance says that he stopped thinking he was gay. Meanwhile, Thiel helped Vance find a job. Actually, several jobs. It turns out that Vance kept getting fired from his jobs, but Thiel kept getting him better jobs every time he got fired. Eventually, Thiel helped JD Vance get into the field of politics, where Vance has been in his pocket to this very day.

    Now, from my perspective, it’s difficult to explain why a businessman would keep finding better jobs for a person who keeps failing at the jobs unless there is something outside of the job that makes it worth it. So, it seems very likely that JD Vance gives world-class blowjobs, and that he is just generally a failure at everything non-sexual.

      Not even kidding, that is a remarkably accurate reading of Vance’s resume. Literally EVERY job he’s held was because of Peter Theil, including VP. The story is that Peter Theil personally walked Vance into Maralago for a meeting with Trump, and came out with Trump naming Vance as his VP candidate.

      It was a deal between Trump and Theil, two of the nastiest Sociopathic Oligarch on the planet, so certainly money changed hands, and Trump didn’t mind Blagojeviching the VP seat, since he didn’t have to worry about creating the usual coalition to boost the vote, because he knew the election was rigged.

        The election pisses me off so much. They obviously rigged it a lot, so much that trump got mad because he didn’t win as strongly as he wanted.

        And the dems just gave up before election night was even over. Fuckers

          You get it 100%. Nothing pisses me off more than DEMS saying Kamala was a bad candidate, and lost. She was actually a decent candidate, far better than Biden was, and she ran a strong campaign, and went into Election Day clearly winning the Enthusiasm Gap.

          Trump got reelected because his followers were willing to support his baseless claims that the 2020 election was rigged for an entire four year term. As you pointed out, Dems couldn’t even hold it together through the end of election night. Disgraceful.

          That’s why I’ve been an Unaffiliated Independent since I registered to vote 50 years ago this month. I find both parties to be corrupt and incompetent, and I don’t want to be part of either club.

            When racism and misogyny is on the upswing in an election, they fielded a black woman that was an early (the first?) dropout in the previous term’s nomination race, and then vigorously courted the conservative vote via Liz Cheney for some gods unknown reason at the end of the campaign.

            If democrat operatives aren’t actively trying to sabotage the Democrat Party, I don’t know how you interpret it. They’ll trip on their own dicks and find someone even less likely to appeal to centrists and alienate leftists next go around, so the Christian Nationalist Party has half a chance.

              I’m convinced that some of these people have been bought, there’s no other explanation. MAGA has a virtually unlimited spigot of money, and EVERYBODY has a price. If the word came in that Schmuck Schumer could be bought for a billion bucks, he’d have it by lunchtime.

                Chucklefuck Schumer is already in AIPACs pocket, so MAGA doesn’t need to worry about that one. He gets his marching orders to make the Democrats look as bad as possible to as many people as possible through them.

              That’s a valid strategy that I’ve considered, just so I can vote in primaries, and vote for the candidate they hate the most.

                After trump i refuse the do that. He used to be the worst candidate. There’s just no way to know which of the scammers are going to be promoted at the end of the day.

                I never voted for him. But i learned the lesson he taught us.

        “Blagojeviching”, aka a BJ, which Vance has yet to prove he doesn’t give the best of them.

          No, it was a reference to Illinois Governor Ron Blagojevich, who went to prison for trying to sell Obama’s Senate seat when was elected President. He was on tape talking about it like a jackass, and went to jail for 14 years. He served 8 before Trump pardoned him, of course, and now he’s a big MAGA.

          But I like the BJ reference, so it’s doing double duty.

          That’s the new thing among Sociopathic Oligarchs - they’re collecting politicians. Harlan Crow has Clarence Thomas on a leash, Paul Singer hold’s Alito’s leash, etc. Now that Skum is sort of on the outs, lots of them are sniffing around trying to collect Trump, most notoriously the Ellisons.

          Make no mistake, if Vance takes over, Peter Theil will be president.

    It’s almost like normally when a politician goes to a diplomatic event they’re surrounded by experts in many fields to help then navigate the the complex situations and Vance just went by his completely unqualified self and winged it.
