Somewhat smug in my intentional avoidance of the mealy-mouthed Elon Musk and Donald Trump's performance on X(Twitter), I'm trying to muster up some semblance of human compassion for J.D. Vance, the man who's changed his name four times and is almost now a dead weight on the Republican ticket.
Vance, you remember, is the first term Ohio senator, who once referred to Trump as "America's Hitler" before swallowing his core values and self-emasculating to join Trump as a VP candidate.
The psychological warring inside Vance's cerebellum is likely intense in that he's not only ripped up his own moral code to take a chance on power, he's turned his back on his gay and transgender friends at Yale Law School, particularly his close bud, Sofia Nelson, a transgender friend to whom he once closed an email with "I love you."

While Vance has tried to distance himself from his college friends, Nelson has released two years of email exchanges with Vance, setting the record "straight" in one sense of the word. One of those emails from Vance to Nelson ends with "I love you."
Meanwhile, Donald Trump almost never mentions his unfortunate sidekick Vance while feigning sympathy for Joe Biden, who he alleges was a victim of "America's first coup," dishonestly ignoring the insurrection he himself initiated with violence intended to block the peaceful transfer of power, including a hangman's noose set up for his Vice President Mike Pence.
Of course, Trump doesn't really give a golden shit about Biden, but simply mourns the loss of a beatable candidate whose stepping aside resulted in his facing a two decades younger and sharper opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris.
Almost on cue, Trump now denigrates Harris, calling her "nasty," "the most horrible," a "madwoman" and "dumb."
Trump's MAGA followers think nothing of the fact that their "fearless leader" is talking about the Vice President of the United States, so conditioned have they become to the modus operandi of their con artist hero who so cleverly fools them by holding up a Bible and kissing the flag.
"Trump, Trump, Trump!" they shout at rallies while holding up Trump, Confederate and U.S. flags and wearing red ball caps.

We'll all see how the "stable genius" Trump performs, should he actually show up to one of three presidential debates scheduled.
With Harris not only closing the polling gap with Trump, but actually taking a lead nationally and in so-called swing states, it seems unlikely Trump will be able to fall back on his initial excuse that the country "knows both of us" to back out of the debate.
Surely, our self-described "stable genius" former president is not too chickenshit to debate a "dumb" Black woman.
Trump is a pretty good stand up comic, but was in way over his head as president.
ReplyDeleteListening to Musk and Trump is painful.
ReplyDeleteSome Trump followers think that they will vote for Trump so that he stops running for president in the long run.....Silly, Trump wants to get into power to not vacate the White House. Hitler was the same situation: they said give him Poland, give him Chekoslovaquia, but Hitler wanted more and more and more....
