She gives me masochist vibes. |

Sh-t. I remember we got a new Buick ONCE and my dad acted like it was made of diamonds. I wasn’t even allowed to touch h the ceiling of it (which had this cool plush lining) because I might get fingerprints on it. Incidentally, I also went to Yale Law and I don’t go around acting like I was some sort of pariah who infiltrated the elite, like JD does. |

Seems unsuccessful as a gold digger since all her clothes are Temu. |

| It must sting JD that a new Hungarian leader was inaugurated this weekend after he went to campaign (on US taxpayer dime) for the authoritarian leader who was kicked out. |

She follows him around to keep him from drinking. That’s her life’s work. |

PP here has done a great job of laying out the possible (probable) fraud in Vance's memoir. My parents were probably around Vance's parents' age, give or take a decade. My parents NEVER bought a new car until mid '90s, NEVER. If you lived in our Midwestern semi-rural neighborhood, you knew the folks who could afford a new car year. No one, no one was buying a Buick. |

Now if he were wearing a #buthistansuit, then she would've looked the other way. |

Yes. But lately I think she looks like she drinks too or is on something. They both look unhealthy. |

I wonder about that too. I read the book when it came out. A lot of hayseed/rube stuff (his Memaw was out of central casting) and the whole thing was a type of rags-to-riches story. It was probably all fiction. |

The red flag about the mom is that she was a successful college-educated RN, who married both JD’s bio dad and JD’s step-father who adopted him. Marriage and legal adoption of your son is not the behavior of underclass pill junkies. Another red flag is JD’s sister is also still in that same area, which he characterized as this backward hellhole full of junkies. Sister is a graduate of Miami of Ohio, I believe. But his childhood was so austere, JD at age 27 — after military desk duty, undergrad at OSU, internships on the Hill, and mentored by neocons — wrote he didn’t know how to use a fork at dinner. Frazzled JD had to call his anchor baby girlfriend on his cell phone from a restaurant bathroom to learn what utensils to use! 
It’s all just so preposterous. The guy’s entire life story is obviously fake. |

| He also said during that speech that nobody has empathy for 1/6 traitors. This after he said they shouldn’t be pardoned. He’s a ghoul. |

This exchange yesterday...instead of answering the question, Vance dumped on the reporter then answered a different question.
Reporter: The president's financial disclosures were released recently, and they showed a lot of stock trades in companies that he has talked up at events, official events at the White House on his Truth Social account, sometimes even putting the stock ticker symbols in his posts and encouraging people to buy their stock. Americans, according to recent polling, are increasingly describing the president as corrupt and trading stocks. Vance: This is a hell of a question. Reporter: Thank you, sir. Trading individual stocks is something that you said that public officials should not be able to do when you ran for Senate all those years ago. And yet the president, who arguably has access to more nonpublic information than your average Senator, is not only buying and selling individual stocks either through his trust. Vance: OK. What's the question? Reporter: The question, sir, is how can you and your administration argue to Americans that you're cleaning up corruption, you're preventing fraud, you're fighting the sorts of things that harm people and people's financial situations when the president seems to be talking up stocks that he owns, selling them and enriching himself. Vance: OK. So, let me answer your question here. That was a doozy. Before I answer your question, I want to just observe. There are different ways to ask a question, OK. You can just ask a question and try to get your answer, or you could do like a speech where you say, Mr. Vice President, you're a terrible human being and so is the president and so is the entire cabinet. And then I'm like, what's your question? And then your question is, how dare you? Come on, man. Have a little bit of objectivity in the way that you ask these questions, because there are a lot of things in that speech masquerading as a question that didn't actually get asked, OK? Number one, the president doesn't sit at the Oval Office on his computer, on his Robinhood account, buying and selling stocks. That's absurd. He has independent wealth advisors who manage his money. He is a wealthy person, he has had success in business, he's not making these stock trades himself. And your question imputes that. It doesn't say it exactly, but a reasonable person listening to that question would assume the president is sitting around and doing that, he's not. Second of all, you're right, I am a big fan of banning members of Congress from trading stocks. So is the president of the United States. All of us believe that nobody should be taking proprietary information gained from public service and buying and selling stocks. We want to ban that process. And I think the way to lead by example is banning that process, banning that approach and making it illegal, which is exactly what the president has proposed doing. |
