[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remember when Simone Biles took a mental health break? JD had something provocative to say about that. What is wrong with him?!!!!

“Senator JD Vance of Ohio, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, is drawing renewed scrutiny over his past remarks that the American gymnast Simone Biles, who won another Olympic all-around gold medal on Thursday, showed weakness when she withdrew from the previous Games because of a mental health issue.

Mr. Vance, during an appearance on Fox News in 2021, questioned why Ms. Biles was receiving acclaim for stepping away from the competition at the Tokyo games.

‘I think it reflects pretty poorly on our sort of therapeutic society that we try to praise people, not for moments of strength, not for moments of heroism, but for their weakest moments,’ Mr. Vance, who was running for the Senate, said at the time.”

He also said:

In it, Mr. Vance says that the public’s empathy toward Ms. Biles, who is now 27, was emblematic of what was wrong with the country.

“But instead, what our press has done, I think, has turned this into this weird therapeutic moment,” he said.

Remember how we used to say everything Trump touches dies?  JD Vance may be Trump’s true heir in this sense.  He is going to take Trump down with him.

Simone Biles is a sublime athlete and gold medalist and JD will be in the dustbin of history soon, I hope. 🤞

I’m almost beginning to feel sorry for him at this point.  Almost. 😁[/quote]

Let's wait to get cocky. Don't forget how confident we felt going into 2016. We are underdogs in the polls, no matter how insane it is to write out those words.[/quote]
