Can we all refrain from using the term "white trash"? It's really bigoted. Also the adjacent "trailer trash." And I say this as a Dem. It just plays into the criticism of Dems and their disdain for "deplorables." Maybe use something softer like "lower-income white teenager" from a "disadvantaged background" or some such thing.

Agree!
Here is a clip of Trump firing someone from the Apprentice for using that term. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3A-Z5sRwgLM
It will be nice to have someone with decency and integrity back in the White House.

Yes, because when one thinks of decency and integrity, one’s mind immediately goes to Trump. /s

lol so true!

You put converted in quotation marks, implying that it was insincere and, thus, politically motivated.

Who on earth thinks converting to Catholicism is a winning political move?

Speaking as a cradle catholic, converts are by and large more conservative than us. I doubt JD's church is like, say, Holy Trinity in Georgetown. I would bet my retirement account it's theologically and culturally conservative - probably lots of families with 5+ kids, homeschool/Catholic school is common, I would not be surprised if a lot of the parishioners thought Vatican II was "invalid" (a common debate at the church I grew up attending) and prefer to attend Latin Mass. I remember being told growing up that "good" Catholics voted for Republicans because of the pro-life issue*. Converts typically convert to that brand of tradcath. They rarely convert to the Joe Biden/Nancy Pelosi/Jesuit style Catholicism.

I was not the one who put "convert" in quotes, but it's weird to me that only he converted and not the wife or kids. I suspect this was done to network with and appeal to the Amy Coney Barrett style Catholics, who are a huge presence in conservatism.

*Conveniently neglecting the fact that "pro-life" also means you oppose the death penalty, which Republicans don't. Now I am pro-choice and pro-death penalty and I mostly vote Dem and I don't go to Mass, so you see how well those kinds of CCD lessons went over.

And most Democrats are ANTI-death penalty. So how do you square that?

Wait - so you think he should have insisted his wife and kids convert as well? What kind of authoritarian are you? He can be Catholic while his wife is Catholic. Get a clue.

Yes, in genuine Catholic families the wife is Catholic and the kids are all baptized. Attending a Catholic school is meaningless; agnostic, Muslim, Jewish and Hindu kids attend Catholic schools around the country. Only Beltway con artists and social media grifters would be the only person in their family who claims to be Catholic.

I suggest those of you trashing his four-year military service read this. No, he did not see combat - as he VERY CLEARLY states in this piece. He did, however, learn a lot of very valuable lessons that it appears many of you have never learned.

He very clearly states he was attached to units, when on missions and was in dangerous situations in unsecured areas. He got lucky that is wasn’t injured or killed, but he was most definitely in harms way and putting his life on the line. I worked as an active duty nurse and we had causalities from all different units and MOSs, not just infantry, including some of own nurses. So take a seat and stay in your lane.

Of course he would say that. He is self aggrandizing. Did he ever go door to door like actual fighters? Nope.

This guy seems like an actual intellectual, not a lightweight peddling cliches and poll tested talking points, which is refreshing.

Talk is cheap. He would force his own wife or daughter to bear her rapist's baby. So intellectual! Such nuance! So insightful and well formed!

Keeping up the lies, I see. Here ya go. I'll post this as often as necessary. DP.

Vance is opposed to abortion; on the website for his 2022 campaign for the Senate, he declared himself “100 percent pro-life” and called for “eliminating abortion.” However, he said on CNN in December 2023: “We have to accept that people do not want blanket abortion bans. They just don’t. And I say that as a person who wants to protect as many unborn babies as possible. We have to provide exceptions for life of the mother, for rape, and so forth.”
https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/10/politics/fact-check-biden-campaign-j-d-vance-heritage-foundation/index.html

He is aggressively anti abortion. He is on Trump's ticket and trump destroyed roe. Nothing about that is a lie.

Judge Kavanaugh has been unequivocal in his belief that no president is above the law. He has stated that Marbury v. Madison, Youngstown Steel v. Sawyer, and United States v. Nixon are three of the four greatest Supreme Court cases in history. What do they have in common? Each of them is a case where the Court served as a check on presidential power.

Noting that Roe v. Wade was decided 45 years ago, and reaffirmed 19 years later in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, I asked Judge Kavanaugh whether the passage of time is relevant to following precedent. He said decisions become part of our legal framework with the passage of time and that honoring precedent is essential to maintaining public confidence… in his testimony, he noted repeatedly that Roe had been upheld by Planned Parenthood v. Casey, describing it as “precedent on precedent.” When I asked him would it be sufficient to overturn a long-established precedent if five current justices believed it was wrongly decided, he emphatically said “no.”

Also Ross refused to say he wouldn't vote for Trump, when he was interviewed on The Bulwark podcast. He is rabidly anti-choice. Of course he liked JD Vance. They are two peas in a pod.

Two doughboys.

I love these. They show exactly how racist the left is. Keep it coming, I say!

We better all see Trump's birth certificate and Vance's birth certificate.

Ok?
