I actually laughed out loud..I gotta say EarlG I have never enjoyed a US presidential campaign this much.
Ever since Vance and Walz have arrived on the scene this has become the funniest thing I have ever seen.
It is a refreshing change from the whole dark creepy portentous Nazi thing.
Hats off to the internet jokesters who made the couch meme viral. They are this election seasons Tina Fey..I remember how awful it was in 2008 when Palin first came on the scene..she lasted longer than this dude.
I cant see Vance without collapsing into giggles..🤭. I dont feel outraged by anything he says. I hope he keeps talking..he is a gift to democrats, feminists, liberals, progressives..
I am going to be sad the day I no longer start laughing the minute I see his face
I havent laughed this much in years. He has made this miserable catlady genuinely happy ..
Another quality he and Trump have (which contrasts beautifully with Harris/Walz) is they seem entirely humorless..

(8,853 posts)Few comedic characters are funnier than puffed-up, pompous, arrogant, full-of-themselves idiots with no sense of humor. Trump and Vance both fit the bill.
Monty Python skewered this kind brilliantly, particularly John Cleese.

ooo..catty..I do just start laughing as soon as this dude starts talking.
What was Trump thinking? At least Pence just faded into the background.

- Hed happily implement Project 2025
- Tucker Carlson and Don Jr. pushed for him
- He was a double down pick for enforcing white male supremacy
- Hes a sociopath perfect for a Trump dictatorship

(7,297 posts)Vance's view of women is so perverted, so weird, so disdainful that it boggles the mind.
Basically, he sees women as single purpose females to be used only for the birthing of children, and raising them in service to their men.
Vance lacks the ability to know and understand what love is all about. He thinks it's about him.

She was serious and never babysat any children.
She was the best MIL ever.

(3,353 posts)Important, yet not covered by the MSM.
Just now, an NBCNews article titled "How JD Vance's upbringing shaped his sharp-edged rhetoric about families" with the sub-headline "In interviews, Vance and his aunt gave new details of his upbringing and discussed how it forged his opinions and words about families, mothers and children" doesn't mention this at all.
A scrub of CNN.com's front page now has nothing on it.
Liberal media my ass.

(4,999 posts)But human culture and economic structures have changed a good deal since then. Shady needs to catch up, maybe go to Walmart and see how many older men and women are working in their later years just to keep a roof over their heads. Is he going to tax his billionaire pals enough that we can pay the elders who would like to care for grandkids, but can't afford to?
He might also do well for some visits to institutions of learning, medical and tech research. Perhaps an evening at the symphony would broaden his outlook. Does he go out to eat? Does he know there are female chefs and some have been around a while.
He REALLY hates his mother, and she might deserve it. The rest of us do not deserve his sullen disrespect and he has enough money to get some much needed therapy.

(25,183 posts)had much shorter life expectancies on average than today. So, very few post menopausal grandmothers around back then.
As the life expectancy of human beings increased, both male and female elders became respected in society for the knowledge and wisdom that they acquired with age and were consulted by younger people.
Among the Iroquois people (Haudenosaunee) adult women of childbearing age had a say in the government of the Confederacy of their tribal nations. Precisely because they were women who spent more time with children as they grew up and knew the behavior and character of the children raised in their clan, their assessment and nomination of candidates for governmental positions was valued. The eldest female in a clan was the Clan Mother who advised younger people and had governing authority in the clan. You can still see the respect for elders among them today, even though their governing system has changed.
Now that I am a senior woman, I've noticed more than when I was younger that other cultural and social groups in the US value elders as well.
