J. D. Vance, a hillbilly of great pretense

Trump's cooperative compliant clone of Mike Pence

Trump’s running mate will be J.D. Vance. Wow. What a surprise. Trump found a clone who can talk to “hillbillies” and billionaires.

That certainly defines the future of the new MAGA Party. “If you’re a hillbilly who likes shiny billionaires because you can’t make the connection between your poverty and their absurd wealth, the MAGA Party is the Party for you!”

Meanwhile the memorial service for the long dead Republican Party was being held in the rain at a cemetery near the convention center where the MAGA festival was being held.

Mitch McConnell arrived there late and wept alone under his umbrella. he couldn’t shake getting booed at his final convention. After all he’d done for the Party. Gave them all their Judges. Nikki Haley stood quietly in the back, looking lost in the rain. Under umbrellas Romney sat next to the huge coffin with the ghosts of Nixon, Lincoln, Ike, and Reagan. McCain held the umbrella over his friend Barry Goldwater as he spoke. Looking down at the massive casket holding the old dead elephant Goldwater wiped his black-framed eyeglasses and reminded them, “We are American conservatives without a party, my friends. I was right about the Christian nuts. No one listened.”

Romney spoke of how quickly men of moderation evaporated when confronted by Trump. “The Chamber of Commerce types just withered away when confronted with the torches of the rabid confederates, racists and Christian fanatics Trump attracted.”

Back at the MAGA coronation the King flaunted his newly selected Prince, Lord Vance, another white, male, Christian, persecuted hillbilly out to dismantle the government and send American women back to 1952.

A smiling mini-me variation of the original Dr. Evil of Mar-a-Lago Island.

A likable Ted Cruz.

The kind of guy Marjorie Taylor Greene could take home to meet the parents.

Trump really went out on a limb here with this daring choice, doing his best to enlarge the tent that is the great American Republican MAGA Party. What a risk taker! In a bold move Trump added a white, male, Christian, persecuted hillbilly out to dismantle the government and send American women back to 1952 to his team. He’s hoping he’ll appeal to those white, male, Christian, persecuted hillbillies out to dismantle the government and send American women back to 1952 who might not be into Trump but now that he’s tapped an angry white, male, Christian, persecuted hillbilly out to dismantle the government and send American women back to 1952 to be on the ticket with him those folks might give Trump a second look.

Vance is the future of Trump’s Party, a delusional cult rooted firmly in the mythic past where men rule over women like Ken dolls with horses and Bibles rule over their obedient barefoot baby birthing Barbie dolls.

This quote from his book "Hillbilly Elegy” reveals what Vance admires about Trump. “He never offers details for how these plans will work, because he can’t. Trump’s promises are the needle in America’s collective vein.”

The Atlantic, "Opioid of the Masses"

Mr. Vance, a credible moral authority on the issues of the Appalachian world devastated by the Opioid crisis, compares Trump’s bullshit charsimatuc cult appeal to an evil, addictive, narcotic Opium. Today in 2025 Vance the family man is happy to tie off the arms of his fellow white citizens with a rubber hose tourniquet and jab in a syringe of Trump’s endless supply of pain-relieving hate.

The “Hillbilly” shtick is good theater. Mr. Vance is a hillbilly intrigued by venture capital, who worked for the venture capitalist Peter Thiel, the wingnut libertarian co-founder of PayPal who lost $20-million gambling on Blake Masters, another radical wingnut libertarian android. Masters lost Arizona. Then Mr. Thiel donated millions of dollars to Mr. Vance’s failed 2022 Senate campaign.

In a New York Times piece we learned if JD, had been vice president on Jan. 6, 2021, he wouldn’t have certified the election like Mike Pence did. Like none of our courageous Founding Fathers, Vance would have done whatever it might have taken to obey his mob boss-in-chief and not get lynched by rabid insurrectionists.

God is in Milwaukee. Taking in adoration, grattitude, acclaim and praise for saving Trump’s life.

In a Vanity Fair blast we learned Vivek Ramaswamy believed “that God did intervene.” God may not go out of His way to save Relief workers in Gaza or children in Ukrainian Hospitals but the Creator of the Cosmos will always make time to save his 78-year old pet orange glutton from death or justice. Vivek added, “ Donald Trump has been given the second chance Abraham Lincoln didn’t have.”

So much about Trump calls Lincoln to mind.

Lincoln the log-splitter. Trump the truth-splitter.

Lincoln who preserved the Union. Trump who crushes and stiffs unions.

Lincoln who called for charity towards all. Trump who calls for donations to his scam charities.

Lincoln who called for malice toward none. Trump who calls for retribution.

Have Donald’s eyes seen the glory, will the truth suddenly start marching on? Will javelinas fly? Does Vance realize he’s doomed as well as “honored”? That everything Trump touches turns to shit or ends up in prison?

"Vanity Fair", "Project 2025"

Sen. J.D. Vance summed up the central premise of the Biden campaign with this succinct analysis: “President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs.” Astute!

In the same blathering bombast J.D. Vance laments the opposition’s call for preserving democracy at all cost. “That rhetoric led directly to President Trump’s attempted assassination.”

How can one answer Vance’s claims the mere recitation of facts led directly to President Trump’s attempted assassination?

There is no room for political violence in this People’s democracy. May the continued fearless recitation of facts lead to the electoral defeat of the authoritarian fascist who poses an existential threat to our democracy.

I will never relent.
