It's really interesting to contrast his public persona before he went into politics to afterwards. His author persona was a lot more warm and empathetic and then his political persona is a lot more sociopathic. |
You know I don't doubt that he probably experience childhood trauma, but I think it's pretty interesting to try and claim this hillbilly heritage that he is three generations removed from. Should I go around pretending I'm a Polish immigrant who escaped wars and pogroms just like my grandfather or acknowledge that my childhood millieu was vastly different than his? |
Read the book. His alleged trauma stories he shares are clearly completely fabricated. It's amateur creative writing, presumably ghostwritten by some hack. |

My childless teacher saved my life. My parents neglected me and she took me shopping at the mall for stickers and then lunch at Carl’s, Jr. She’d let me do special projects around the classroom, and told me if she had a daughter then she’d want one like me.
Seriously F him. He is total disgrace to our country. |
DO. This isn’t news. They want to make $$$. Private schools is one way to do that. Have you forgotten Betsy DeVos? |
You’re ridiculous. I have three kids who between them have had about 125 public school teachers none with blue hair and none who tried to indoctrinate them. As one teacher said “I don’t teach them what to think, I teach them to think.” One of their teachers got tarred for being part of the “far left”—she was a lovely math teacher who told the kids it was okay to make mistakes because that’s how they learn. I didn’t care what her personal political views that she expressed on FB were—she made my kid like math again and was a kind and supportive person. Fox News just searched teacher FB pages to find a leftist they could dox, even though she had never once expressed any of those views to her students. It’s all a manufactured crisis by the right to attack public education, which is such a weird weird thing to attack but I guess some people like DeVos want to make money off people’s fears about public education. It’s really sad how they will try to destroy one of the best things about our nation, and what made our democracy great and successfully brought together a nation of immigrants. |
But JD absolves nuns because they’ve made the ultimate sacrifice to God. They’re obedient and subservient to males in higher positions.They were the caretakers of children and as history reveals, remained obedient to male dominance that resulted in horrific crimes against children. Still so archaic! |

I think my post on another thread was deleted because I described JD as repressed. I had replied to a poster who pointed out how weird it was that Vance said “my wife has 3 beautiful children.” Odd. His wife is a beard because he may be gay or gender-other trapped in the wrong body. He’s also deeply religious. I mentioned that he may have confided in a priest, repented, self flagellated. Cross dresser in college? He’s too young for that. That was an GenX thing. Thiel— what going on there? I don’t want to think or even wish the worst, but he may have been sexually abused as a child. Too many latent admissions. He’s hurting deep down. |
He’s an atheist who fake convert to Catholic a few years ago. Sociopathic creep. |
Those cross dressing photos were from LAW SCHOOL when he was 25-28 years old. |
| The more he attacks, the more I like him. I didn’t know much about him before, but as far as I’m concerned, he’s making the right people mad. I approve. |
Thanks for chiming in, Usha. |
+1 These posters probably don’t even have kids. |
Miami University in Ohio is public. |
