  • Vance described the vetting process as detailed and intrusive, including questions about potential family criticisms and criminal history.
  • Politicians undergoing vice presidential vetting often face extensive scrutiny to prepare for media examination, highlighting past examples like Herschel Walker and John Edwards who had hidden children.

      Excuse me, but his book VERY CLEARLY said he used a rubber glove.

      Or was he raw dogging another couch while he was cheating on his wife with the couch he definitely wrote about in his book? (Chapter 11, page 180.)

      Yeah, that’s a weird thing to make a press release about. Who tells the press that they were asked if they have a secret family? And why is the weird part, according to him, of this that he was asked with his wife present? I think the weirdest part of all this is that they thought that was weird. But actually, this whole thing is weird. Something about this is off. Weird af 😬

        I mean it is sensible for them to ask about it. It is maybe a little foolish of them to do it in front of his wife.

        The truly hilarious part about it is that he is so stupid that he thinks (a) it’s something unusual or personal to him, instead of just vetting of candidates like they always do (b) he thinks talking to the media about it is a productive way to react to that perceived unusualness.

        All I can do is look upon the GOP and smile and encourage. “Good good let the stupidity and incompetence flow through you.

    He was asked by his Mamaw if he wanted to suck dicks. Unfortunately he was too weird to learn from Mamaw

    “I’ll never forget the time I convinced myself that I was gay. I was eight or nine, maybe younger, and I stumbled upon a broadcast by some fire-and-brimstone preacher. The man spoke about the evils of homosexuals, how they had infiltrated our society, and how they were all destined for hell absent some serious repenting. At the time, the only thing I knew about gay men was that they preferred men to women. This described me perfectly: I disliked girls, and my best friend in the world was my buddy Bill. Oh no, I’m going to hell.

    When he brought up the issue with his grandmother — known to Vance as “Mamaw” — she replied bluntly: “Don’t be a fucking idiot, how would you know that you’re gay?

    When Vance explained his reasoning, she laughed.

    JD, do you want to suck dicks? she said, according to the book.

    The young Vance, apparently “flabbergasted, said: “Of course not!

    “Then you’re not gay. And even if you did want to suck dicks, that would be okay, she replied. “God would still love you.

      The dude didn’t convince himself he was gay. The dude convinced himself that he convinced himself he was gay. To keep it going, he is now trying to convince the public that he convinced himself. “If everyone believes it, it must be true. He is gay af because he not only remembered that experience, but wrote about it in a book.

      To JD Vance:

      Come on, bro. Just be gay. Like for real. You’re wasting your life and your wife’s life with the charade. Y’all could be having awesome sex instead of pretending. If you’re still resistant, fine. Just try it once to prove you don’t like it. It’s just once. You’ll probably cum too fast to get it over with and then you can say you didn’t like it or take a 5 min break and do it again to make sure. Haha. Omg, that would be crazy, right?

      I said above that would I hope for their sake that it was both and here is why if you ask him in private, he might say yes or no whether or not that’s true. If you ask him in front of his wife, you can gauge her reaction to his answer. If he says no and they notice she reacts to that in even a way that shows she is doubting his answer, they should notice. Whether there was something to notice and they noticed it, I don’t know.

      Regardless, I wouldn’t consider an answer to that as dependable with his wife present. Similarly if a doctor is asking about sexual activity, I wouldn’t expect them to ask in front of their SO.

      If you want an honest answer, make sure it’s in confidence.

        That kinda bugs me. When I had to take my wife to the hospital, they asked her if she felt safe at home, and if someone was abusing her, while I was in the room. I offered to leave the room for a few minutes so she could answer clearly and they were like “no, that isn’t necessary.

        It really should be standard procedure. I’ve never laid a hand on her, but it should be standard to protect the people whom have been abused by their partners.
