DP but... Peter Thiel became JD Vance's mentor and benefactor after meeting Vance at Yale Law School, where Thiel's 2011 speech significantly impacted Vance. Following this, Thiel used his influence in the tech industry to help Vance, including hiring him at a biotech company and encouraging his role at Mithril Capital. Thiel later became a major political benefactor by donating $15 million to Vance's 2022 Senate campaign. Initial meeting: Vance was inspired by a 2011 speech Thiel gave at Yale, which he later described as "the most significant moment of my time at Yale Law School". Tech industry mentorship: After Vance graduated, Thiel used his connections to help Vance enter the tech industry. He encouraged his hiring at Circuit Therapeutics and later facilitated a role for Vance at Mithril Capital, a venture firm co-founded by Thiel. Thiel also wrote a promotional blurb for Vance's 2016 memoir, Hillbilly Elegy. Political benefactor: Thiel became a major political donor to Vance, providing a substantial $15 million to Vance's 2022 Senate campaign, which helped fund his successful run for the Senate. |
Indians I've spoken too consider the US immigration system stupid, and that they should crack down. India does not allow anything like this. |
she will convert. Hindu is not really a religion more a culture, and she already abandoned it. |
Yes, completely agree. I'm now in a fancy social crowd where men and women always greet by kissing opposite cheeks. Never once has any man ever touched my hip or have I run my fingers through a man's hair or gotten anywhere near a man's hair. That is just so beyond inappropriate. |
Vance has already thrown his supposed Catholic faith under the bus and is going full white nationalist evangelical. |
Why does she have to convert? MAGA just pretends to be Christian anyhow. REAL Christians know that Christ commanded us to take care of the sick and the poor, to feed the hungry, to shelter refugees and outcasts. Christ taught us the Beatitudes, and so on. MAGA does the exact opposite and proudly celebrates it. You cannot be both MAGA and Christian. |
And many of the Catholics and Evangelicals see it. They are quiet-quitting MAGA in droves. https://www.newsweek.com/maga-has-catholic-problem-opinion-2021693 https://www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-2674246422/ |

Funny. The worst part of this is that she has already stopped wearing the ring. Wow-- very telling. No grieving widow stops wearing their ring that fast. Damn. |

I have more sympathy for a dead snake than I do for whatever 'plight' is supposed to be hers at the moment.
Vance desperately wants to be president. He and his handlers have come to the realization that his wife is a liability for no other reason that she isn't white with the Christian label attached. And that, my friends, isn't going down well with the crowd he needs for the nomination.He's laying the groundwork to dump her ass. |
| Don’t the Vance kids attend Catholic school? Mom can’t be that religious. My barely observant Jewish husband would never allow Catholic school. |
MAGA Evangelicals have adopted the Seven Deadly Virtues as described in Camelot: "The seven deadly virtues, those ghastly little traps Oh no, my liege, they were not meant for me Those seven deadly virtues were made for other chaps Who love a life of failure and ennui I find humility means to be hurt It's not the earth the meek inherit, it's the dirt!" https://lyricstranslate.com/en/camelot-musical-seven-deadly-virtues-lyrics |
What imaginary or completely-out-of-touch Indians did you speak to? India has millions of illegal aliens, possibly as many as 10 million, mainly from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Myanmar (Rohingya etc). Their borders are porous and enforcement is lax. |
