    Are you saying Don Jr's best buddy isn't a good pick? Surely being friends with Jr is adequate vetting! :whistling:

    I'm not an expert, but I would think the first question for a Republican screener would be "are there any photographs of you dressed like a woman?".

    Sorry, I don't know if this is funny, but as a LOTR geek I find it hilarious.

    Never forget Re Minas Tirith

    But – unusually for a legal strategy – the case cites as evidence to back up its pro-Trump claims the tragic fate of the kingdom of Gondor, one of the central realms of JRR Tolkien’s fantasy classic, whose exiled ruler, Aragorn, was played onscreen by Viggo Mortensen.

    “Gondor has no king,” the lawsuit states, a footnote providing an explanation of the woeful fate of Tolkien’s entirely imaginary land populated by dragons, wizards, hobbits and elves, all threatened by a baleful Dark Lord backed up by an army of orcs and with famously little time for due democratic process.

    The suit explains how Gondor’s throne was empty and its rightful kings in exile, presumably positing the idea that Trump is the true king of America – a land happily monarch-free since 1776.

    “This analogy is applicable since there is now in Washington DC a group of individuals calling themselves the president, vice-president and Congress who have no rightful claim to govern the American people,” the case state

    It adds: “Since only the rightful king could sit on the throne of Gondor, a steward was appointed to manage Gondor until the return of the King, known as ‘Aragorn’, occurred at the end of the story.”

    The lawsuit then suggests that America’s version of the stewards of Gondor should be selected from among – surprise, surprise – Trump’s cabinet members, who should run the country.

    In my analogy, Donald Trump is the Witch King. He is enslaved by his evil lust for power, he thinks he’s unbeatable, and (one can hope) he will meet his end at the hands of a woman.

    New polling shared with Semafor shows Democrats’ attacks on J.D. Vance’s views on abortion, divorce and “childless cat ladies” are sticking with voters.

    “A pair of surveys by Blueprint, the centrist Democratic pollster backed by Reid Hoffman, one taken July 21 – July 22, two days after Vance was announced as Donald Trump’s running mate, and then again two weeks later on August 4, showed Vance’s net favorability falling from -7 to -11 with fewer voters unsure either way.”

    Dreher has become a nutball. Vance is closer to Fredo than Frodo.
    Every time I think that Dreher has hit rock bottom in his descent to political looniness. . . he manages to outdo (underdo?) himself.

    This ********ing guy is twisting himself in pretzels.....

    “The one thing I like about Donald Trump is he actually will talk to anybody, but just because you talk to somebody doesn’t mean you endorse their views. Donald Trump has spent a lot of quality time with my wife. Every time he sees her, he gives her a hug, tells her she’s beautiful, and jokes around with her a little bit.”

    — Sen. J.D. Vance, in an interview with ABC News, on Trump not disavowing his dinner with white supremacist Nick Fuentes.

    Will that guy do anything for power?

    JD’s wife probably doesn’t remind Trump of his daughter so she’s probably safe.

    An other one.......:D. I could not care less if JD liked to dress as a woman or was a drag for that matter. Whatever floats his boat. However, this SOB is actively trying to hurt minorities and is leading a a movement that demonizes people who basically do the same. That level of hypocrisy is simply off the charts, not to mention the cruelty.



    A second image of J.D. Vance allegedly dressed as a woman in a blonde wig has been posted to X, the Daily Beast reports.

    The screening did work in disqualifying Rudi but it failed with Vance.

    It may as well be but let him explain that. I am sure the cult members will totally understand and accept it.....

    Cult members will accept anything they're spoon fed. I'm not ready to cry foul over a possible Halloween costume that could be misrepresented as hypocrisy.
