James David Vance is an American venture capitalist, author, and politician serving as the junior United States senator from Ohio since 2023. Vance got a law degree from Yale and became a Senator. But now he is pretending to be a psychologist (and not a good one). Vance was a critic of Donald Trump during the 2016 election, becoming a member of the Never Trump movement, but changed his rhetoric after announcing his candidacy for the Senate. During his tenure in the Senate, he has been a staunch Trump loyalist and defender of Trump's assertions. So he is not a man of convictions, just a opportunist who is supporting a convict so he can play politics. In order to further the GOP, the GOP needs to realize what a failure they have become by scaring congressmen into loyalty to Donald Barabbas Trump. They essentially operate in fear.
JD Vance’s plane makes emergency landing after door malfunction
The charter plane carrying former president Donald Trump’s running mate Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) made an emergency landing in Milwaukee after a door seal malfunction, the campaign said Friday. The plane, a Boeing 737, declared an emergency shortly after it had left the airport in Milwaukee and returned for repairs, campaign spokesperson Taylor Van Kirk said in a statement. The issue was resolved, and the plane continued to Cincinnati, where Vance lives. Vance was in Milwaukee for a campaign event at the city’s police association. A National Transportation Safety Board spokesperson said the agency is not investigating the plane’s grounding as it does not qualify as an accident, defined as “events that result in serious injury or death or substantial damage.” (Boing Boing 8/13/24) READ MORE>>>>>

Z-NOTE: August 11, 2024:
JD Vance did a few Sunday morning TV Interviews🙄
JD Vance is fundamentally a fake person who changes his tune depending on what audience he's in front of. Today he did what he could to change the subject whenever he could. But where to if he was trying to misdirect? Vance has no concept of what he is or what he believes. His answers went in circles. He also likes to use misdirection in order to get the questions to not be about him. Hello? He is the interviewee and not the interviewer. Misdirection...sometimes called project...is a hallmark of the Trump/Vance campaign.
CNN's Dana Bash was aware and address it:
Vance: This (Harris) is a fundamentally fake person
Bash: With respect, you changed your position on an important thing, Donald Trump
Vance: Of course I did!
Bash: So why are you not a chameleon?
What's he going to have to complain about when Harris sits down for an interview? I think what he was trying to do is position himself as being brave because he talked to the press. Bravery before the press, however, is not answering questions....it's answering questions truthfully and not constantly trying to misdirect.....which is now a common thing to do in the Maga Party.
Eight years ago, in the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election, J.D. Vance was a bitter critic of Donald Trump. Publicly, he called the Republican presidential candidate an "idiot" and said he was "reprehensible." Privately, he compared him to Adolf Hitler. But by Vance was tapped to be his running mate he had become one of Trump's most ardent defenders, standing by his side even when other high-profile Republicans declined to do so.
Now Vance appears to be trying to normalize Trump's stupidity.
Like Nikki Haley, Vance's political career should be over for trying to con both sides of the political spectrum. There's no reason that politicians should be given good paying jobs with benefits simply for lying better than the other.

Vance cries bully while Trump backstabs over "weird" label
JD Vance, the unctuous Republican VP candidate for President, appeared on CNN yesterday in an interview with Dana Bash. Using carefully couched answers to convey the impression of being normal, Vance pretended that he and his boss were interested in saving the country from various imaginary coming disasters (not including real ones like climate change or Christofascism). After the interview, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) posted to Xitter a reminder that Trump is the most cowardly schoolyard bully of all by listing a few insulting names Trump has used against him: "Shifty Schiff, pencil neck and watermelon head, would like a word, JD."

Donald Trump missteps stir growing Republican worry, campaign seeks Vance reset
Donald Trump's comments questioning Kamala Harris' Black identity and stumbles by his running mate JD Vance are prompting growing unease among Republicans. In response to a backlash over Vance's remarks about childless women, the Trump campaign is seeking to help him move past the controversy by focusing on issues such as the border that resonate with the GOP base. Republican allies outside the Trump campaign are downplaying their 2024 presidential nominee's recent statements about his Democratic rival and her race as they move into damage control mode with less than 100 days until Election Day. Some in the party are genuinely concerned, though.

It's getting weird: Simple insult is Democrats' latest talking point. Can it stick?
The word of the political moment seems to be "weird." It may have been unprecedented that President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race about 100 days from the election, but that isn't what has Democrats and Republicans sparring over the word "weird." Rather, since Vice President Kamala Harris, a younger, more meme-friendly candidate has stepped in as the Democratic candidate, a host of her surrogates have started labeling her opponents Donald Trump and Sen. JD Vance as weirdos. It appears that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, also reportedly under consideration for Harris' running mate, may have started this wave of attacks. (USA Today 7/29/24) READ MORE>>>>>

The guy that compared Trump to Hitler is Trumps running mate.🙄
Earlier this afternoon, Donald Trump formally won the Republican nomination during the convention roll call vote. House Speaker Mike Johnson announced that Trump had won 2,387 votes. There were 2,429 votes available but in three states and Washington, DC, the secretary of the convention announced that some votes would be cast “pursuant to the rules and procedures” of the convention.
Donald Trump’s running mate pick is Ohio Sen. JD Vance. I guessed he would be the one early on because of the choices he was the one who most spoke in circles like a Maga. Vance has said he would have refused to certify the election on Jan. 6, 2020, if he were in Pence's position."If I had been vice president, I would have told the states, like Pennsylvania, Georgia and so many others that we needed to have multiple slates of electors," he told ABC News in February, "and I think the U.S. Congress should have fought over it from there. That is the legitimate way to deal with an election that a lot of folks, including me, think had a lot of problems in 2020. I think that's what we should have done." Eight years ago, in the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election, J.D. Vance was a bitter critic of Donald Trump. He called Donald Trump an "idiot" and said he was "reprehensible." Privately, he compared him to Adolf Hitler. "I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn't be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he's America's Hitler," he wrote privately to an associate on Facebook in 2016.
I have zero hope for Trump/Vance to win. It's too early to tell from polling what could happen in November.
