He was in the bathroom for a long time, and when his mom knocked and asked him what he was doing, "NOTHING!  Just invading myself!"

And the general sat while lines on the map moved from side to side

I'm not an actuary but I'm guessing the tables are favorable enough for a Trump death in office in his age 79-83 years to make this a very very high ceiling bet for Thiel/Vance.  Especially now that they've secured the VP there is no plausible way to buy off their position.  Their interest in this election is the upside of Vance being VP, but if the bet is foiled they will pivot and will live with a Harris presidency and strategize again for 4 years from now.  Trump is just their so so dumb vehicle.

This.  Spot-on.  It's a high-ceiling, low-risk bet for Thiel and his merry band of oligarchs.  Throw a few hundred million onto the table.  If you lose, who cares -- you're already making pretty good progress on taking over the world via your ownership of Congress and the SCOTUS, and a few hundred million is pocket change.  If you win....total global domination by being the puppeteer of the most powerful office in the world.  Shit, they'd have been dumb NOT to make that bet.

We (the American people) need to just manage to not be so dumb that we make it pay off for them.  I'm not super hopeful on that count.

My money is on Tulsi Gabbard. Shes pretty, ethnic, a former Democrat, and she has the full weight of the Russian Government's Treasury behind her!

I know we're not *supposed to* comment on appearances on this thread, but Tulsi is the epitome of 'good from far.'

I'm no fan of JD Vance, but his name changing was actually pretty innocuous.  His mother changed his name as a child after a divorce, and when he got married he changed his surname to honor his grandparents, who raised him.

Well, if he ever changes his name to Bassett, we'll know why.

Jerk marinade is a euphemism I've never heard before.

Also, is anyone else skipping any post that features EBITDA?

This is dark but I think the only way this happens is if they try some mafia style shit like, "hey Vance, wouldn't it be a shame if something were to happen to your Indian wife and kids..."

I think if the last few weeks have shown us anything it is that Vance's political career on the national stage is DOA. Succeeding a deceased Trump is the only way he'll ever sniff the White House.

It's uncommon for a man to change his last name, at the time of his marriage, to his grandparents name. I doubt anyone is keeping a record of this, but let's go with a conservative number that only 1 person has done this.

The only explanation that I can think of is that his wife refused to take his adopted dad's surname. And Vance (Bowman or Hamel) wanted to share a surname with his wife. Her Indian name would be out of the question so they compromised on Vance.

Do many people attend a prestigious law school like Yale, only to change their name so former classmates don't make the connection. You have to guess that until he ran for Senate and definitely VP, some of his Ohio State and Yale classmates had no idea that JD Hamel was JD Vance.  Isn't a major reason to attend a top tier law school is due to the connections you make?

They interviewed people in his hometown who were like “who the hell is JD Vance?”

Yes, but, Kamala Harris has parents, and is a product of the both of them. This is apparently shameful, so, both sides.

Trump and TexAgs will claim that today Biden freed the most evil people since Hitler. Trump would have convinced Putin to accept leftover Best Buy gift cards for the Americans' release.

Still getting a solid chuckle out of donnie diapers telling a room full of black people that he’s the best president for them since Abraham Lincoln.

"Ha ha ha ha! Kamala says she's Indian, but she's really black!"

"She's both."

"Ha ha ha ah! Kamala says she's black, but she's really Indian!"

"She's both." 

"Owned libs!"

I seriously can't believe that this is the strategy they have devised. It would seem to a neutral observer that they are trying to lose by as much as possible.

Lots of people would say I'm better than Honest Abe was to black people. Honest Abe. You know who's not honest? Lying Kamala. She's not even honest about being black. She's trying to take your black job. /Guy who totally earned everything in his life due to merit

The only guy I ever knew who changed his name was dodging child support.  Just sayin'

There could be good reasons why Vance changed his name in adulthood. Perhaps the stepdad was a POS and Vance saw it as an opportunity to get away from that history. I might want to get away from being named after a bad guy.

What's keeping us in learning more about Vance is the very fact that he's not giving anyone the opportunity to get to know him. He doesn't seem to do any interviews where he's asked questions about himself, his family or his life. He just gets behind a podium, acts awkward and goes home. And this guy might soon be one McDonalds hamburger away from the Oval Office.

The last 24 hours has just reminded me of how divisive Obama was.

It still amazes me that the entire shitfest we're in right now is due to aggrieved white people's oversized reaction to a black man being president and daring to give them universal health care. I've wondered before if after 2016, did Obama just go to a room and sit there for a few days wondering, why was he the response to me being your president? It's why I will never want people to ask Michelle to run for office. She saw first hand what that means and she does not seem to want that nor should she.

Meanwhile JD Vance finds the whole thing "absolutely hilarious"

Whether it's Walz, Beshear, Shapiro - I hope they ask him at the debate "how do you look your kids in the eye and explain to them what it means to be mixed race and that it is something to be proud of in this country, when you mock a biracial woman for being black and Indian?"

If we connect the dots, apparently most of the evil horde spilling across our southern border consists of Central and South American journalists.

just doing everything they can to lose this shit on an epic level, aren't they? keep it up, boys!

Gaining vote share isn’t one of their goals.  I don’t know how this necessarily helps with the grifting of the conservative Christians, but that seems to be the general bent. You give us all your money, we snake into power via courts and the limited power we currently have, and we promise to pass the fundy laws you want.
