It's like he's got a list of people who would be most unpopular for him to denigrate and then he's going for it. |
Thiel did not say JD was a mistake. He became edgy and dodged answering the question. However he did say he believed Donald was going to win. |
The thing is that Aniston was actually being quite kind. She has suffered infertility and through IVF while seemingly every check out lane magazine in America had her on bump watch month in month out. IVF that didn’t work out but that gave her the chance to try more. IVF that the GOP plans to take away from American families because they’re living in the dark ages. |
Doug Burgum would have been a terrible pick in that it would have made GOP look like the old man party. At least Vance looks younger ... although his values are all from the past.
The issue with GOP ticket is that it is all backwards looking. My teen son described GOP it as stuck in 50's. Even Trump keeps bringing up Hannibal Lector like he's referencing some cool current pop culture but it's an old movie that came out in 1991. No VP could also remove the stain that is Trump. Best thing would be for moderate republican politicians to work with Harris if and get some cross-party appointments if she can pull off a win. |
Yeahhhh I don’t know what the heck happened with Thiel on stage but I don’t think he’s really soured on the couch lover. All of those tech bros are weird, gross people and they’ve made themselves worse and worse. |
I also believe that depending on who Harris picks as her VP, Ohio can become in play for the Dems. JD barely won Ohio's senate race |
He has said he will not be donating anymore and that he's disappointed in how his previous donations worked out and that he believes people he backed before didn't understand the issues and were overly focused on unhelpful cultural fights. If that's not a description of Vance, I dunno what is. |
There's been a lot written about how he just got really upset about his foray into politics... he hated being in the spotlight, he had some really unpleasant things happen in his personal life, he's not interested in culture war—and as a gay man with adopted children, he's a target of people like Vance—and he apparently had a big fight with Trump, after he refused to give Trump $10 million and Trump called him a "effing scumbag". I think he's out for the wrong reasons—he wants the people he paid for to do explicitly what he wants and take all guardrails off of AI—but he's out. |
“oh look, I created a monster and he has refused to do anything I told him and now he is eating me and my children. #regrets.” |
yeah, i mean, he doesn't get any sympathy, but i think it's important to note that if we think he's a repulsive person, we should not that even HE is repulsed by the strange extremist views of Vance. |
He is jumping back in. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/27/us/politics/peter-thiel-trump-jd-vance.html |
lol, okay never mind, take back what i said. |
+1 Sorry. I got nothing in the tank left for people like Thiel whose degenerate politics helped create the edge of fascism upon which we dangle. For people who consider themselves the smartest people in the world, they are dumber’n [s***]. Oh, you suddenly realize that you and your family might not be protected, you the billionaire who has your own personal security and multiple homes? How the hell do you think the average immigrant feels? How about Black women? You helped fund this. And now you’re realizing it’s bad? Instead of stuttering like a moron onstage when presented with evidence of your intellectual failings, do something. Help fix the problem you created. Billionaires suck. |
Dude, stop spamming your fake fanfic. Thiel (Musk and Tucker) is literally why Vance is Trump’s VP. |
Thiel and Musk encouraged Trump to pick Vance. The thing is they are both weird and while that can work to make a lot of money in tech companies (I'm from SF Bay and most tech CEOs and silicon venture folks are odd), they have zero political instincts. So their advice is of course cursed. Trump is only impressed by how much money they have, and he mistakes it for EQ and political instinct - which both Thiel and Musk just don't have.
