The fact jd Vance is 39 , Don Jr’s friend , worked for Peter Theil and once hated Trump

Tells you he is a person with no values that wants power and will abuse it…

I needed this post today! "Barbara Kingsolver’s Demon Copperhead, a brilliant rewriting of David Copperfield set in Lee County, Virginia, which is so much better than Hillbilly Elegy that Vance should just give up and shoot all the copies of his book into space on a Musk shuttle." Made my day.

Thanks for being hilarious and upbeat and in solidarity!!

My mom is from Appalachia. So I spent vast swathes of my childhood there. I never read his book because I didn't want to relive it.

It was a terrible, condescending book. With reading only to gain an insight of what Vance truly is.

I cannot bring myself to read it. Only bright side is that Vance is so unlikable that hopefully it drags the ticket down (fingers crossed)?

I often notice the strained facial muscles trying to look beyond themselves. I think he's trying to stay focused on the task at hand by using the tip of his nose as a guide so he doesn't trip over his own book of evil, it happens to be rather large. It's what a lot of sociopaths have, a complex called Rude Off the Red Nose maybe you should consider HEADGEAR.
