JD Vance - you suck
- Thread starter Noodle
- Start date
When I worked at the law firm, I always joked that we should have a BAC car starter for “reply all”. If you aren’t funny, you shouldn’t be able to “reply all”. That unfunny guy only spawned several more unfunny “reply all” responses.
He also made sure to charge the SS full bore for rooms and food and golf carts and anything else he could get away with that put money in his pocket. Same for all his other travels where he insisted on staying at one of his properties, even if they were far far away from the site of the function he was attending.
Pure awful....Along with Louisville.....And for a small city, Lexington traffic is fuking hideous.
You have always been entertaining.
Seriously? Why do you think politicians spend 3/4 of their time raising money?
Who do you think pays for Walz flights?
Obviously Republicans aren't getting their money's worth on SS protection.

I've been through Borden; your 1 stop sign is optional at best. I would say you do struggle with the modern interstate system traffic lights etc. you're definitely Trump country.
..and if Walz is spending that money to fly home to his wife / kids every day, I would be equally upset.
As I said, the majority of the money is probably coming from donations / superPAC's. The SS detail likely comes from our taxpayer money. I have no problem with occasional visits home during this time period. Every day I would have an issue with. Either Vance or Walz.
I would think you would be on board with candidates trying to exhibit fiscal responsibility.
No you wouldn't. You wouldn't even know about it.
The media has told you to be upset, so you get upset.
The money isn't yours and the SS detail would be with him no matter what. Stop with the foolishness.
I realize your only hope to defeat Trump is to make mountains out of a molehill, but this nitpicking just makes you look petty and gullible.

That building could have been on Shawshank Redemption. BTW, the prison in the movie is in Mansfield OH. We always stop there to gas up and stretch the legs on our way from PA to Indiana and then back again.Vance flew to Pittsburgh this morning. Not sure where he flew into, but here he flies out of a small municipal airport. It was the main airport here until the late 1940s.
interesting tidbit, unfortunately will have to file it in the WGAF folder.

A) I'm 99% certain that Noodle is not in the media. The entire purpose of this thread is him complaining about the amount of times that Vance has inconvenienced his life. This whole thing is anecdotal at best. The media has nothing to do with this thread topic.
B) I have stated multiple times now that I am not upset with the likely reality of the situation. If it is 5 times in three weeks, I have no problem with it.
C) This thread is about Vance, not Trump. I did mention him once for comparison, but otherwise this is mostly about whether Vance is excessively going home or not, which would have an impact of the amount of money that is being spent (and yes, him going home versus staying at a hotel is net negative on expenses, some of which you and I are paying for). As noted above, it isn't even likely true.
D) Many of Trump's issues are indeed molehills. The problem is, after thousands and thousands of molehills get added up, you do indeed get a mountain.
That prison is kinda fun to visit. They have tours year round and it is a haunted house in October.
We recently got an ad for it that said they have added a couple of escape rooms. I found that highly amusing.
Another failed attempt at humor. Some people just aren't humorous. I hope you don't try to inject humor into your sermons. The groans would depress you.
It's been used in some movies (see below). The inside of the building is pretty nondescript. There used to be an average restaurant inside, but it closed several years ago. Had a case against an attorney whose office was in there. No idea why, other than he was a private pilot. I don't think they use this building for anything these days, as there is newer tower they use for traffic control.
What are you babbling about? I didn't reply to Noodle. I replied to you.
You know full well Democrats use the SS just as much as Republicans, so stop the charade. We are on to your infantile nitpicking.
It's funny I've NEVER heard you complain about Biden going back to Delaware every chance he gets, a long with more SS protection than Vance gets.

JD Vance is now the least popular VP candidate in modern history
Polling averages show that JD Vance has a -9 net popularity rating, worse than Sarah Palin’s low in 2008

Five times in three weeks, but more than 1/3 of the times I’ve driven the route during rush hour. I rarely drive home during rush hour. So yeah, it’s not reasonable.
I don't even know what to say.

Die-hard Trump fans start 'carrying cups of JD Vance's sperm'
Supporters of Donald Trump's presidential campaign have been photographed carrying around plastic cups, bearing a picture of running mate JD Vance and the slogan "full family kit"

Now since House Republicans were intent on naming an airport after Trump and Dems suggested a prison, this would seem to be the perfect compromise. Who says bi-partisanship is dead in DC?Uncropped, it still looks like a prison.
That building is still sitting empty. We could make it into a prison and then name it for Trump. It could be the Trump Prison at Lunken Airport. Hell, let's go all the way: Trump Prison at Trump Airport.
Actually Danc, you are right.
Whether it was the media hiding it or not, I just now looked it up. Biden has indeed spent more time in Delaware than I knew. More often than a president should. It is wasteful and fiscally irresponsible. I was already on the fence about whether to put Joe's name down. I was very likely either going to vote 3rd party or not vote at all for the presidency slot on my ballot. This probably would have been a deal-breaker for me.
I live in Ohio, so not sure my vote is going to matter much anyway. I will never vote for Trump, but I'll wait for the debates to see if I vote for Harris.
Not sure you'll find any president that doesn't go home or take any trips. Taxpayers would likely be upset looking at every past president's travel log and associated costs.
The reason people "nitpick" at Trump is because he made sure to stay at his properties so that he could overcharge SS and funnel taxpayer money into his pockets. Foreign dignitaries also felt pressure to stay at Trump properties in order to curry favor. 2 big reasons why Presidents (up until Trump) were required to divest their business interests prior to becoming President.
Meh. Still a waste of money. You want a weekend getaway, Camp David is right there. I was critical of Trump, Biden deserves just as much criticism.
Fair to criticize both but it isn't really an everything equals everything.

When I was a kid we drove to Florida and I specifically remember hitting Nashville in the latter afternoon and the traffic just went along very slowly. It was so hot in our car because we didn't have air conditioning. Mom and Dad were yelling. I was probably bugging my older sister because that is what little brothers do. It was terrible.
