I am a female. At work I want people to treat me like a man. Pay me like one too. I go home and I am female again.

I literally tell people to have male expectations on me.

Part of running for any office, including the highest offices in the land, is convincing people that you're human. That you have some humanity. That you identify with them and their struggles. He's failing at doing something that is extremely fundamental.

There is currently no evidence about his ability to be a good executive, because his political experience consists of 2 years as a junior senator. So, we're essentially back to wondering if the guy even speaks human.

Yes plus the vice president is expected to do more listening tours, funerals, meeting with constituents.

God, can you imagine Vance, who is, as he campaigns for the job, unable to hide his contempt for literally everyone? The guy thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room but he’s such a deflated whoopie cushion. There’s nothing there. He’s intellectually bankrupt. About the only thing consistent about him is his love of **cking couches and telling women how much he hates them.

Just glad people have stopped mocking what they see as his somewhat “effeminate" manner. Inapproriateness has no place in our society.

I am the same poster who wants to be treated male. I speak a couple of languages. A third one not that great (another I studied for spouse and kids). speaking human is not a thing.

I just think it’s over emphasized. W was / is an amazing human being, a lot of people say that about him. He basically is living the retirement dream now

I'm not sure what point you're making - but also W being someone people wanted to spend time with was one of his selling points.

Indeed it was! He was a very likeable person and Al Gore was a big stiff and a bore. It helped W's campaign a lot. It was often mentioned that people wanted to have a beer with W. His wife Laura was also very likeable and Tipper had a bad reputation because of her labeling rock music. Personalities matter a lot.

DP. I agree. I’ve long felt that I’d enjoy having dinner with George and Laura Bush — as long as we didn’t discuss politics. George passing candy to Michelle Obama was quite sweet.

And really, W should get credit for his assessment of Trump’s inauguration:

“Some weird s**t”

Yes, he nailed it!

We aren’t, at least not the ones I read, listen to and know. Is there some basis for your question?

Or did you just want a Google search to link those words — to make it easier for the MAGAts doing their “own” research?

Disagree. Vance knows he's not the smartest in the room. I actually see him as an incredibly insecure imposture syndrome fraud. He was the dumbest student at YLS and it's not even close. He was the dumbest person in Thiel's orbit. He's dumber than his wife and acts subservient to her.

Well, there probably was a point in his early life when he could convince himself that he was the smartest one in the room — and that THAT was why he was disliked. Then he got to YLS and was definitely not anywhere close to being the smartest one in any room, and was still disliked.

Not embracing but pointing out that Trump is being squeezed from both the right and the left. He is not extreme enough for the people who won him the primary, but he is also not moderate enough to win the general.

So there's effectively a pipeline to take mediocre young Republicans in the Ivy League and shepherd them into positions of prominence - JD Vance (Yale Law), Ron DeSantis (Harvard Law), Rafael Cruz (Harvard Law), Joshua Hawley (Yale Law), and a couple of others. These are fairly unremarkable men that have all the doors opened for them, from the Federalist Society to prestigious clerkships to introductions to prominent billionaires like Peter Thiel. Even introductions to suitable women who work for Big Law (Vance) or Goldman Sachs (Cruz). It's like the glided into their positions, but they were selected by the moneyed conservatives to be their vehicles and mediums for power - Mercer, Adelson, Walton, Griffin, Schwarmann and so on. Vance is clearly owned, and that's how one should regard him.

Thank you for your excellent post. I’ve wondered why people like these, perhaps eager for some stamps of approval, sought out these specific university environments — only to complain publicly about them because they themselves were bad fits for the very environments that they so eagerly chose.

True. They criticize the education and milieu and seem.to hold on harder to their origins. Steve Bannon is like this. He paints his lower middle class upbringing as idyllic. Why did you leave it behind then? Go be a postal worker and shut up. And the experience of moving class is not unique in the US. People don't have to completely disown their backgrounds either. I mean, most people find a happy medium. I always think they doth protest too much. It likely was not idyllic. I don't buy it.

He's incredibly crude. He swears a lot. I find that disgusting and not a good look for a public official.

How in God’s green earth can his wife even stand to be around him - much less sleep with him. Isn’t she terrified of the lesson her kids are taking from all this? Do you think she stays with him because she’s afraid of him being alone with the kids (not safety-wise but brainwashing). Do you think she fears for her own safety from MAGAs if she were to leave him? She can’t *possibly* be on board with his misogyny, can she???

+1 First on the scene with “weird” and I love how he said that to Hillary.

Sure she could. If she feels that she’s the best of the best, then she might be quite comfortable with him going after “lesser” beings. I’m not assuming that she feels this way, just pointing out how she could be complicit.

Don’t leave out the racial stuff. White male going on about how caring about racial and gender equity isn’t important as a value system. Recent Catholic convert going on about how thousands of people he’s never met must be “agnostic “. This odious little toad is projecting a LOT of his own insecurities here.
