He's weird, he's the hand picked agent of the tech illuminati, and he's a terrible candidate. I share the intro to Bill Cohan's latest in Puck on JD Vance.
Like so many people I never paid attention to politics until Trump came along. I grew up in the northeast and always knew that Trump was a piece of shit and I never thought the people here in the MidWest were as stupid as they are. Republicans are just so after it for the money and the power, and unfortunately, the tech Bros have figured them out. Jesus, Vance gets worse every day! Thanks for sharing this. I’m going to send it to my kids.
What a nightmare! 50+ years ago I had 2 miscarriages about 18 months apart. I was pregnant and then long before the expected time of birth, I wasn't. Losing a pregnancy was devastating enough without being prosecuted for illegal termination. The first was before Roe v. Wade. The second was shortly after.
Also, as the end of fertility nears it is very common to skip menstruation for several months and then have a period. It doesn't seem too far fetched that women would be prosecuted for perimenopause.
Politicians have absolutely no business making medical decisions for other people
Yes this scares the ever loving fuck out of me—-but wait it gets a billion times scarier. In addition to what you mentioned, Deepak Puri from Democracy Labs has laid out a compelling argument that Theil may be funding Vance and others so that if vonshitzinpants wins then they go balls out implementing a nationwide abortion ban, and which big data company who’s already stuffed with lucrative government contracts will they choose to use to surveil women? Palantir.
The biotech firm he invested in (that’s now gone bankrupt, I believe) did experiments on macaques and some of it was pretty terrible. Animal mistreatment was not unheard of - a monkey got hung in lab equipment, burned genitals… nasty shit. They also experimented on dogs, pigs, rats, etc.

For a second, I thought Vance had spent time with the Viet Cong.
Not that that can be ruled out, mind you...
Hmmm. JD Vance as cat toy. That has possibilities although I thought it was usually the family dog who humps the furniture…

Great piece , will check the gift link. This was an added bonus: you can’t spell “crazy” without R-AZ. Truth.

That is indeed terrifying, yet so true.
The biotech firm he invested in (that’s now gone bankrupt, I believe) did experiments on macaques and some of it was pretty terrible. Animal mistreatment was not unheard of - a monkey got hung in lab equipment, burned genitals… nasty shit. They also experimented on dogs, pigs, rats, etc.
So, he insults women who own cats, and his ace investment mutilated animals?
Christ, does nobody do any oppo research anymore? That would certainly have sunk his senate run in Ohio.
