What does JD Vance really believe?

[Jilly_in_VA]

The world is on fire, but in Washington DC topic A is Olivia Nuzzi. Her suspension as a writer for New York Magazine for sharing “demure” nude photographs of herself and other indiscreet communications with Robert F Kennedy Jr has engendered gales of hilarity to relieve the tension of the razor-thin close campaign.

Nuzzi’s relationship in journalistic terms fits the supreme court’s ruling on presidential immunity of the distinction between Donald Trump’s “private” and “official” acts involving the January 6 insurrection. In the spirit of the court and The Scarlet Letter, the blond bombshell has received more punishment for sexting than the blond bomber has for attempting a coup.

In the hurricane of gossip the most notable public discussion of the Nuzzi affair was an exchange of two buddies giggling at their lowbrow humor. “There’s this weird sex scandal story going on right now,” says the first. “The media is obsessed with – I don’t think there was any actual sex in the sex scandal.” Hahaha. His pal snickers, “That’s how I’m sure it is.” They guffaw. “I think that’s right,” replies the first. They laugh together in a communion of their misplaced coolness, unclever witticisms and pubescent misogyny.

This is not dialogue from an episode of Beavis and Butt-Head. It is not a cartoon. It is not a satire. The first jokester is the Republican candidate for vice-president, Senator JD Vance of Ohio. His interlocutor is Tucker Carlson, the erstwhile No 1 Fox News host, fired as a liability, financial and personal, and left to roam untethered in the social media wasteland.

JD is largely a creature of his own invention, going with the prevailing RepubliKKKan winds,...

1. He believes he is on a path to be president some day. Nothing else matters to him.

That's what Liz Chenny gave up.

[Think. Again.]

2. I doubt he has any strongly held beliefs at all.

3. He believes that sucking up to Trump and being

Leo, Theil, and the Heritage Foundation’s toady is his quickest and easiest path to the presidency.

[Botany]

4. He really believes he is a Caterpillar that is going to be a beautiful butterfly someday.

Really look @ his Guy-Liner make up. Watch the video of him drunk and in drag @ Ohio State.
Btw I don’t care about somebody who wants to be fabulous but in Ohio the GOP has gone out
of its way to be anti GLBT and J.D. Guy-Liner is part of that cabal so he gets zero slack from me.

Outside of that he believes in prostituting himself to energy companies, the rich, and anybody that can help him. If Peyronie disease took human form it would look like Vance.
