From anti-Trump to vice-president nominee: JD Vance in his own words | JD Vance | The Guardian

· This is DJT's new running mate JD Vance. Vance posted this photo of himself to showcase his macho working class chops, but it warrants a closer look .... First of all, wtf is this guy looking at? Why is he holding the weapon in this manner, which goes against everything they teach you on Day 1 of rifle safety training. Why are his work boots made of suede and not have a single smudge on them? Why is he sitting in front of firewood implying he just chopped it when it's clearly been milled by a machine, kiln dried, and delivered via pallet. Why do his blue jeans not have a Cophenhagen chewing tobacco ring on the front pocket. Why is he pretending he works with his hands when he actually worked for RW billionaire Peter Thiel. Why is he DJT's running mate when he said the man is 'noxious' 'dangerous' an 'idiot', and compared him to Richard Nixon and Adolf Hitler...

I had decided well before the debate that I would not vote for Biden because I give him an A on domestic policy but a F+ on foreign policy. He proudly claims to be a Zionist, which means he splits his loyalty between the U.S. and Israel. No president has ever done something like that. The New York Times today reports he has approved sending more 500-pound bombs to Israel, which is now a pariah in in the international community. The global reputation of the U.S. is not far behind. I live in Texas, where Trump will win, so my vote for Biden would not make a difference. I shall vote for all the Democratic candidates on the ballot except for Biden. If the Democrats nominate someone else for president, I shall vote for whoever that is.
