JD Vance wears eyeliner

Pete Buttigieg is probably the smartest guy in whatever room he may be occupying.

Don't get me wrong, Alfred E. is a beloved cultural icon. There's an underlying layer of irony and satire to Neuman's character. His nonchalance in the face of absurdity.

But it is probably as well Pete got his teeth fixed.
 
Trump was a Democrat. He donated to Harris twice.

Yeah, Trump started in the Reform party but didn't gain the attention to stroke his ego there. He then switched to the Democratic party and found a little of what he wanted but it still wasn't able to feed his ego.

Trump then thought about MAGA but as an Independent party and they stroked him well. Yet, they didn't have the infrastructure to gain access to the White House. He then found the right campaign folks who believed MAGA could be used as a Trojan Horse to enter the GOP through the back door...

I prefer to view Trump & MAGA for what it is in American politics...as a virus that infects the GOP until one day the GOP dies. It is a suicidal mission. Host and Virus will die together unless MAGA can infect another party (e.g. RFK Jr. and others like him) or become a 3rd party after finally gaining the infrastructure it needs to be independent.

Yet, I could be wrong. Maybe it was more Trump stroking MAGA or it was just them stroking each other...forming a cult with evangelism to use them to try to resurge the dying religion in America.

By the way, I'm OK with JD Vance wearing eyeliner just as long as he doesn't offer "free eyeliner" tips to kids who recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Yet, nothing beats free ice cream. :sneaky:



Growing up in Kentucky for a while, we were able to get free balloons and free vaccination shots if we sang the Pledge of Allegiance to the people in the Mobile Vaccine Trucks (aka Mobile Immunization Trucks) that came to the elementary schools.

Not a big deal considering I grew up in a military family residing in an area populated by a lot of military families. We recited it every day at school before classes started.

JD Vance—who was born in Middletown, Ohio, but has family roots from eastern Kentucky...the Appalachian area.​

Back then, I wished they would have offered free ice cream to us kids instead of balloons because those vaccine shots were painful while the Pledge of Allegiance was very easy to recite. Mom and Pops loved it.

"He is not from Kentucky. So this is a guy who would come maybe in the summers for some period of time, or to weddings or funerals. And then he claims to be from eastern Kentucky, tries to write a book about it to profit off our people, and then he calls us lazy," Beshear said, referring to Vance's bestselling memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, which has received criticism for pushing stereotypes about the region of Appalachia.
