I mentioned above they need to alter it to him fucking cats, since he's so into stories about them. A cat on a sofa perhaps. But yeah, if you are into stories then you are fair game. If I hear anyone say something about pets being eaten, I'm definitely going to chime in with "I heard that JD guy likes to have sex with pets, sounds kinda gross to me, but whatever". The biggest difference is that he's the only one affected by sofa or cat stories--his Springfield bullshit is going to get people hurt.

^^^ Funny you should mention that. I was thinking how cool it would be for some interviewer to set the stage up with a couch and a stuffed cat

I don't know how Vance and trump go around straight up lying about food and gas prices and people believe them, even stuff here in IL isn't as high as they claim and it tends to be a little higher here than in surrounding states.

Here’s to a speedy trial

Going to suck for a 34 count convicted felon
From the piece:

“Despite the public nature of Trump and Vance’s claims, local prosecutors have failed to take any action. But because the criminal charges were filed by citizens, a prosecuting attorney will be obligated to make a public decision.”

Isn't he part of that creepy Catholic offshoot that's basically like whatever church Turmp is a part of where they literally celebrate wealth above all, its just them trying to dismiss the guilt they feel for being such pieces of shit by trying to delude themselves into believing that they're wealthy because God ordained them, and not because they're greedy assholes, or in Turmp's case, inherited immense wealth?

Prosperity gospel seems really contrary to biblical teaching.

They have misinterpreted Matthew 21:12-13
<--- I'm certainly no biblical scholar but I just looked up Matthew 21:12-13. It is about Jesus driving the moneychangers out of the temple. Now I'm totally baffled and confused how anyone could possibly construe that to support so-called prosperity gospel. Such a conclusion is as illogical as MAGA "beliefs" are in general.

Because it doesn’t
It’s about money changers being combinations of loan sharks and people who would literally beat people who default on their debts. Sort of like tax collectors at the time.
These people in those times were not good people and were consumed by greed. They should not be in the house of God to apply their trade.
Todays people are completely missing the point of that part of the Bible.

Modern evangelicals aren't Christians, they are Mammon worshipers.

Mammon worshipers not only worship Mammon, but those blessed by Mammon with wealth.

Mammon is just dressed up like Jesus.

Once you understand that, all of their "hypocrisy" falls into place.

Link for the hacked JD Vance dossier. Since JD says it's cool just to make shit up for a story some of this I'm sure is true. Some may not be true but per JD's rules, so what.

A few paragraphs I'll start with. I'm sure the details will just confirm what I've been screaming about since 2015.

In 2016, Vance Said People Who “Might Be Described As If Not As Racist At Least As
Expressing Some Sort Of Racial Resentment” Were Supporting Trump

In 2016, Vance Said, “There Are People Who Are Drawn To Trump Because He Says
Racially Insensitive Things”

Because his people think it is a feature not a bug.

Apparently, JD has been lying more than we thought all along. This has to be pissing Trump off...

Gifted article:

JD Vance, in 2020 messages, said Trump ‘thoroughly failed to deliver’​

In previously undisclosed messages, the future vice-presidential nominee said Trump had not fulfilled his economic agenda and predicted he would lose to Biden.

(snip)
In the direct messages — sent during Trump’s final year in office to an acquaintance over the social media platform then known as Twitter — Vance harshly criticized his future running mate’s record of governance and said Trump had not fulfilled his economic agenda.

“Trump has just so thoroughly failed to deliver on his economic populism (excepting a disjointed China policy),” Vance wrote in February 2020.

He also offered a prediction: Joe Biden, he believed, was going to win the 2020 election.

“I think Trump will probably lose,” he wrote in a message in June 2020, a few months before ballots were cast in an election that Vance would later claim, falsely and repeatedly, was stolen by the Democrats.

The Vance material, now that we can see it, was definitely publishable and news outlets ran way more vapid low relevance pieces in 2016 from the Podesta email hack.

I would not say I am overly impressed with the editorial decisions being made that wildly favor Trump at almost every turn somehow.

As long as you grovel and kiss his ass constantly all is forgiven. Trump in fact likely takes a lot of pleasure from turning critics into his boot lickers.

What, risotto recipes weren't relevant to the election?
