Donald Trump has announced that Ohio senator JD Vance will be his running
mate in November’s presidential election.

Good Pick

[Crimson Dynamo]

Born in Middletown, Ohio, Vance served in the Marine Corps before studying
political science and philosophy at The Ohio State University and earning a Juris
Doctor from Yale Law School. His memoir, which describes his upbringing in
Middletown and his family's Appalachian values, became a New York Times
bestseller and attracted significant press attention during the 2016 United
States presidential election. Vance launched his first political campaign for
Ohio's Senate seat in 2021 and won the Republican nomination after being
endorsed by former President Donald Trump. He defeated Democratic nominee
Tim Ryan in the general election. Trump announced Vance as his nominee for
vice president during the 2024 Republican National Convention.

So this matchup should be interesting.

So I was right then?

I read his book a few years ago. Fascinating insight and very good for understanding blue collar republicanism in the US. At that time he wasn't too keen on Trump

He sounds an absolute delight of a human.

I’m amazed so many TiBBers think this is a great idea considering how they champion women’s rights!

I seriously hope that he was joking when he made this comment.

Don't get me wrong the other comments are also really bad, but I especially can't stand it when people trivialize Domestic Abuse, especially when Biologically speaking in the example that this guy is referring to, men are more likely to be more of an endangerment to an abused woman than the other way around.

I know that some people might see that as a sexist comment, but to me that's a line that people really shouldn't trivialize, especially a Politician.

Great choice Donald, onwards to victory

He also quite enjoys letting people try to publicly lynch his VP’s, so good luck Vance

JD Vance on Israel:

"Hamas started the war and now, they hide behind Palestinian civilians. So if you want to learn the lessons of the last 40 years, the most important thing is we have to defeat Hamas as a viable military organization. You’re never going to defeat the ideology of Hamas, but you can root out those commanders, those final military-trained battalions, and I think you should empower the Israelis to do it.”

it will be interesting if Vance will comply with trumps request to dial down the temperature

[Trump classified documents case
dismissed by Florida judge]

[A Florida judge has dismissed the
US justice department's classified documents
case against Donald Trump in a huge
victory for the former president just days
after a gunman attempted to assassinate him.

Judge Aileen Cannon granted Mr Trump's
motion to dismiss the federal case on the basis
that the justice department's appointment
of special prosecutor Jack Smith violates
the Appointments Clause of
the US Constitution.

He pleaded not guilty to several charges
in the case over his handling of classified
documents, including wilful retention
of national defence information.]

The appointment seems to be upsetting the right people.

If Vance has said all of those things then that's disgusting of Trump to hire him.

One or two of these comments you could put down to him making mistakes (which we all have done tbf,) but Liam listed off about four to five horrible takes imo.

Slick Liam is good at that

Vance’s response to the assassination attempt at a Trump rally on Saturday was also notable. “The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs,” Vance wrote on X. “That rhetoric led directly to President Trump’s attempted assassination.”

People that care about other people and their rights don’t like people who actively want to take away peoples rights? Shocker
