Thank you for speaking to the atrocity that is JD Vance - and doing so in such a clear, straight manner.

Thanks for saying what should be shouted from the highest mountains for all to hear!

These poor jailed folks are treated worst than animals.A whistleblower in Baltimore said his holding location reminded him of images he saw in high school of how Africans were stacked on top of each other on slaves ships.He also described the SMELL!

Oh how inhumanely and evilly horrible!! I’m just physically and heartfelt sick!

Makes me so angry! FREE OUR PEOPLE YOU IDIOTS!

Doing my best Steven. I’m in Canada. We’re not impressed - even less so given his connection to Jamil Jivani.

Good speaking. JD Vance is a coward hypocrit with no existens right! How can he look him selfin the mirror! Feel sorry for his wife!

Mouh's avatar

No honor. No morality. No values. Just money power and lust. Degenerate people working for degenerate billionaires.

J D Vance is a hippocrite and should never be trusted, ever. J D Vance, in the Military, are you kidding 😂 🤣😆, I think he wouldn't be able to hack it, and probably couldn't, and was kicked out.

Sandra K Barger's avatar

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you ! BRAVO!

Nancy M Ross's avatar

Vance has no moral values. He will say whatever he needs to suck up to Trump!

I think you meant to say "Thiel. Felon is redundant."

Never support jdvance

Betty's avatar

Thank you for that truth. Jd Vance is a COWARD!

Joy Backstrum's avatar

Well said. I refuse to say any of "this" is "unbelievable." IT is happening. Shame on everyone single person who let this happen. Shame on everyone who isn't standing up against this regime.

J. Arthur Gleiner's avatar

I can’t thank you enough sir for calling this out. An honest and deeply felt indictment of a man with no morality whatsoever.

In my experience (and it's broad, I went to school in an area of London that's almost entirely Indian, Pakistani and Bengali) South Asians are incredibly racist. They generally loathe black people. (I lived in an Irish and Carribean area) and the kids from school were appalled that I had black friends and that they were allowed in my home. So I imagine they feel much the same about Latinos. The kids I knew from school’s parents were, ironically, very right wing (until it affected them personally). I imagine Vance’s Mrs is much the same.

Cocreative's avatar

Yeah exactly. He's grouping all brown skinned people together. JD Vances wife is Indian, South Asian. I've met racist South Asians with dark brown skin, Brazilians, and Philipinos - All dark brown skin. All racist. All social supremicists who idealize white as the best because they have the most money and legal status. SOLD OUT.

Trump vance,two of America's worst players !!

Vance, or whatever his real name is, is a black hole of ambition swallowing everything and everyone, every last iota of light. He is a soulless chameleon who changes his exterior form to please those powerful sponsors and mentors who see him for what he is: an empty vessel that can be used for whatever purpose they wish to impose upon him. He has no real identity except for what is useful in the transaction of the moment; he has no moral core, center, or basic principles. He is a characterless shape-shifting blob of silly putty poisoned by the aphrodisiac of power. There’s no one home there.

teresa's avatar

Thank you for voicing what we've all been thinking. I admire you! This needs to blasted in Vance's hearing range. If he's not in a grown-up suit he looks and acts like the hillbilly he is. I'm sure he constantly thinks just like Trump, “ I can't believe I'm getting away with all of this!”.

Darlene Falzarano's avatar

Your comment is so on the mark, another perfect description of such utter vileness.

Joseph Felser's avatar

Thank you. It’s like staring into the abyss.

Es's avatar

Vance was only a photo journalist for the marines and he is so power hungry he will do anything to be the president, anything!

Joseph Felser's avatar

Yes, he is one of the hollow men, to borrow T.S. Eliot’s poetic phrase. And I would also say of any would-be Democratic candidate: If they want to be president more than they want to rescue and reform the republic, they don’t deserve to be president. The passion has to be for the nation, not for oneself.

Kathy's avatar

Correction: Democratic OR REPUBLICAN!

Joseph Felser's avatar

There are no Republicans left. That party is pushing up the daisies.

JHB's avatar

I agreed with everything you said until you said the gorilla suit should be for JD’s wife. The gorilla suit is horrible period. NO ONE should be depicted that way. And make no mistake, I hate JD and his Nazi boss Adolph Drumpf as much as you. I appreciate your passion, but do not stray onto pathes tread by those you villify.

Joseph Felser's avatar

Sorry but I don’t know what you are talking about. I said nothing about any gorilla suit and I did not mention Vance’s wife. You are either mistaking me for someone else or trolling me. Mistakes happen, but trolls get banished.

Debbie's avatar

This is how scary I believe he is as well. He will easily fall into whatever line they want him to.

Joseph Felser's avatar

Yes. He’s an empty vessel.

Marianna's avatar

His wife as well then otherwise she wouldn’t let him follow another empty useless orange vessel

Joseph Felser's avatar

Yes. She tolerates him saying publicly that he’d like her to convert to his version of Catholicism. She’s okay with him supporting a Gestapo that targets brown people. So her core is just ambition, too.

Sally's avatar

I was thrilled when Vance was booed at the Winter Olympics.

CliffordtheBigBlueDog's avatar

I love that he gets booed everywhere he goes. I wonder if it ever hurts his feelings.

Nadja Vanderstroom's avatar

I wish he could be forced to listen to what you're saying, to face his own incomparable hypocrisy. These people who dare call themselves 'Christian' is the reason I can't use the term any longer. I'll say, "I follow the teachings of Jesus", but I won't be identified by what the word is coming to mean in our country, in our time.

Melanie's avatar

Never associate “Christian” with MAGA, religious Nationalism, or Turning Point. Only Jesus knows our hearts, but their agenda born out of evangelical/fundamentalist beginnings is not Christian. Jesus was not an elite white supremacist.

LAnd's avatar

Jesus wasn't a elite white supremacist but I can promise, sadly, there are many who are christian nationalists that don't even know they are. They think they are just christian. I know cause I was raised by one.

Melanie's avatar

I was not, thankfully. That indoctrination, etc. Is so…lasting. I am so sorry LAnd.

Melanie's avatar

The MAGA party was born of fundamentalist ‘christian’ cultures who gave birth to white only beliefs. Their aim was to advance the white race and overturn Roe v Wade. The tech-bro billionaire cabal via monetary SuperPacs created MAGA. These things are not Christian. Please listen to parts 1 and 2 ‘one blood clot away….’ By Dissent Bloom on Substack. What stands before us will make fascism in Germany look like a day at the park. Also listen to Jack Schaefer (It must be said). J D Vance must never become President.as well as other of his pieces. Thanks, Melanie. I’m sorry you were exposed to such racism under the guise of Christianity. ❤️🙏

Cyndi Kerr's avatar

Jesus was a brown man. He would cry if he was alive.

Melanie's avatar

He is alive. And he is tired of his representations being misinterpreted. Yes, has cried. But, l think he is filling with righteous anger. He just has to be.

Melanie's avatar

Nadja, “I'll say, "I follow the teachings of Jesus", but I won't be identified by what the word is coming to mean in our country, in our time.” WOW, I reread your comment. May I borrow it - a whole bunch?

Nadja Vanderstroom's avatar

Be my guest. I’m not one of those who tries to trademark phrases or colors…😁

Melanie's avatar

Well, your comment is just perfect! I love to read it when someone absolutely hits the nail on the head - it’s just beautiful!

Deborah Wied's avatar

I told our (Episcopal) priest, who is now Bishop of Mississippi, that I can no longer call myself a Christian because of what is being done now in the name of Christianity. I’ll be using your words - I follow the teachings of Jesus. Thank you for that.

Nadja Vanderstroom's avatar

I’m sure you’ll find words that resonate with you, whatever they may be.

I think it can be agreed that as self-proclaimed “Christians”, they very rarely, if ever, quote or follow the spirit of the living Jesus. That much is evident.

Sharon Garvin's avatar

You know what, don’t give them an out by calling monsters, they are men, be it ever so little men, but men. They make horrible choices, for which they will be held accountable for.

Cara Lopez's avatar

I disagree. They gave up their humanity long ago.

Linda Wagman's avatar

I follow Bible teacher Amy Hawk on here. She has so many verses that describe what is happening! Check her out!

Melanie's avatar

I have reread your comment. I believe you have hit the nail on the head better than my reply! Thank you! @and475218

Well said, Frank Schaeffer.

Go Away I'm Naked's avatar

Only human beings are capable of remorse over their behavior and able to reflect and repent. Therefore, why bother addressing JD as if he was human? Trump & Vance are monsters. Nothing changes.

MAFaulkner's avatar

I instinctively agree with you, but I’m very nervous about talking that way, “dehumanizing the opponent.”

Go Away I'm Naked's avatar

You're right. I was in a mood.

Anne Blaisdell's avatar

As Ruth Bader Ginsberg advised, "If your voice held no power, they wouldn't try to silence you."

Rose Dandarovich's avatar

And never less RDG was part of the problem! Her greed staying in power for too long give us the current SCJ !😦

Judy cannon's avatar

Vance is a sadistic evil narcissist

SUE Speaks's avatar

I hope you get to your former allies. You're speaking to the choir here, which is all right, where we have to keep our passions high and our sanity intact, but, for conversions, I'd think you would be an invaluable change-maker.

JD Vance is no better. This is not hypocrisy alone, or him bending the knee. This represents who JD Vance is as a person with or without Trump.

Andrea Tuthill 🇺🇸🏴🇮🇷🇨🇦's avatar

Truly a brilliant takedown, Frank, with indisputable facts‼️‼️💯💯and yes A MONSTOSITY OF DISHONOR, is absolutely the best description of this shape shifting shithead that I’ve heard. NBC is going to have to dedicate a whole section merely to edit out boos for the ENTIRE administration, because I have a feeling we are just getting started….i know I am ready to bury this entire criminal organization with charges of treason, just a clean.fucking.sweep.

Donald Wacome's avatar

Brilliant? This adolescent nonsense is an emarassment in someone more than old enough to know better.

Cynthia's avatar

Usha Vance is under the false impression that she is one of the MAGA cult but she and her brown children will be put in a concentration camp just as quickly as the immigrants her husband is deporting…how delusional can you be!!
