    Why is every shot of him up the nose? It’s as if the photographer is looking for a brain that isn’t there.

      Probably because his face is very round and they don’t see that as masculine enough.

        Plus, can fit two cocks right in there. Free real estate. Look at all that space. Practically begging for it. When he says to get his good side, this is the result. This is peak anti-gay. So gay that your variable overflows and now your negative gay.

        Basically, this dude probably sucks a lot of cocks. Just saying.

      No not transporn, it’ll be straight up his e621 account with all female/intersex images on black list, just men, manly men.

      No really he writes in his auto-biography Hillbilly Elegy that he actually believed he was gay and begged his grandmother to convince him he was not… Which is very heterosexual behavior.

      Edit: What’s with the downvotes? I’m not saying he’s a bad person because he’s gay, I’m saying he’s a bad person because he’d rather criminalize homosexuality instead of admitting he wants to ride the dick train.

        Idk he seems the sort to really hate the fact that he loves a bear with a vulva. Like an absolute man’s man who happens to be trans. Just calling it now, his hard drive at least contains some of that

    Yeah I’m calling it now, after the whole racist stuff against his wife, and his earlier Trump criticism.

    Trump isn’t just going to use him to throw under the bus at some point. Trump is going to make an example out of him.

    He and his family will be “purged from the party” (however they decide to do that, I really hope they don’t go full Nazi but my hopes are dwindling daily). For every reason they despise.

    And the GOP will go “what no way we couldn’t see that coming.”

    And the rest of the world will be like “y’all really never heard about anything that happened in the 20th century?”

      Yup, fascism always needs an enemy, the angry trumpets won’t stop just because he’s elected, the war with Eurasia must go on, and Vance will be a perfect person to feed to the dogs to think they keep winning

    JD Vance was known, at least in the State Department, for grilling nominees with a questionnaire about LGBTQ+ rights, Pride flags, diversity and inclusion, and other so-called “woke” issues,” part of a series of holds he placed on Biden nominees that delayed the confirmation of more than 30 diplomats to senior positions until this April.

    “The publics of many of our allies, and those countries we seek to build stronger relationships with, have traditional Christian, Jewish, Muslim, or Hindu moral values,” reads one section of the questionnaire, which was obtained by The Washington Post. “If confirmed, how would you explain to them what the United States’ promoting ‘human rights for LGBTQ people’ would look like in their country?”

      I can’t tell if you’re sticking up for him or not, but to answer his question: “We don’t need to, because there is only one sect mentioned here that somehow bastardized their own religious texts into thinking ‘gay=bad’, and that’s Southern US Bible thumpers.”

        Well that’s simply not true. It’s neither limited to the south nor the US nor Christianity. There are many worse places on earth to be LGBTQ than the US. There are also many better places on earth to be LGBTQ.

    “Anti-woke”

    Oxford English Dictionary for woke:

    Originally: well-informed, up-to-date. Now chiefly: alert to racial or social discrimination and injustice;

    Then I tried to look up the definition for “progressive” in the OED

    In any case, Google gave me:

    (of a group, person, or idea) favoring or implementing social reform or new, liberal ideas

    Followed by the antonym, regressive

    becoming less advanced; returning to a former or less developed state

    So, to make sure we’re all on the same page here, “anti-woke” means returning to a less developed state. And while that should be obvious to those who realize the right wants female homemakers, policies to end any LGBTQ+ rights, and a country with defined classism and racism, to many it’s just a tribalist sign post everyone supporting them wants to write their name on.

      Yes. But Repubs don’t think about what they are reading or writing. The propaganda gets them to attach that word with any other concept of the brainwashers’ choice.

      If you do a word association game with Repubs and toss out “woke” they will immediately say “mob.” Some of them cannot even write or say “woke” alone without adding “mob,” it is so ingrained.

      You (correctly) imagine “woke” to be regarding awareness about discrimination and (likely) working to stop injustice. Repubs imagine “woke mob BLM Antifa invaders razing cities.” Well, “raze,” is probably above their reading comprehension level, but you get the idea.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Before he was Donald Trump’s 2024 running mate, JD Vance was known, at least in the State Department, for grilling nominees with a questionnaire about LGBTQ+ rights, Pride flags, diversity and inclusion, and other so-called “woke” issues,” part of a series of holds he placed on Biden nominees that delayed the confirmation of more than 30 diplomats to senior positions until this April.

    “The publics of many of our allies, and those countries we seek to build stronger relationships with, have traditional Christian, Jewish, Muslim, or Hindu moral values,” reads one section of the questionnaire, which was obtained by The Washington Post.

    “If confirmed, how would you explain to them what the United States’ promoting ‘human rights for LGBTQ people’ would look like in their country?”

    Vance are cut from the same anti-LGBTQ+ cloth and have made clear that, should they get the keys to the Oval Office, they will demolish America’s values on the world stage.”

    “If you are injecting your own personal politics in a way that harms American national security and diplomacy, that’s not fine,” Vance told the outlet at the time.

    In response to the Post report on the content of the questionnaire, and a headline referring to it as evidence of his “anti-woke ideology,” Vance wrote, “They got me,” on X on Saturday.
