    JD Vance lies. He was lying then. He lies now. It doesn’t matter what he said years ago. It doesn’t matter what he says now. It’s. All. L I E S.

      I dunno, he could have sacrificed his decency and integrity for power over the intervening eight years.

        That would assume he meant what he said at one point. I can’t being myself to believe that.

          What was his motivation to write that old tweet if he didn’t believe it? Get in the pants of a liberal woman or something?

            Probably trying to cozy up to one of the other shitbird candidates the GOP was offering up beforing falling in line behind Dementia Don.

        These two Behind the Bastards episodes are about Curtis Yarvin, but there’s a significant connection with JD Vance…just like it says on the tin.

    I think after seeing how Pence was wedded to the concept of normalcy Trump decided he wanted a full on lickspittle who would throw away any ideals in pursuit of power. Turning on his old ideals made Vance more attractive than anyone who was a fascist from the start.

    They say there’s no crusader as committed as a convert.

    Serious question, how were these not found earlier? Couldn’t they just completely scrape his xitter account with keywords pretty quickly?

      I think this just illustrates (1) how much Elon has locked down the API access, and (2) how much less Twitter matters in culture now.

        Nah, nothing stopped anyone from manually checking his posts. This is our lazy, useless media.

        No it just shows how much journalists single-sourced everything they wrote from Twitter for nearly 2 decades and still haven’t figured out how to do their jobs without it.

      They were found earlier, I saw this tweet resurface when he was first chosen as Trumps VP. This article is just talking about old news.

    Trump flip flops on shit like this in the span of hours but people still think he “tells it like it is”. It’s why it just gets worse and worse, no accountability from their voters, just blind obedience.

    When someone is so easily paid-off to say whatever you want them to say, is it a big surprise that no one who is worth anything believes a word out of that clammy pissfart’s mouth?
