Outstanding piece Daniel! A LOT of information here. JD Vance is really every bit as unimpressive as I thought before reading but this helps with discussions in general about the stands of each candidate. Vance is a perfect co-pilot to trump with his utter disrespect toward women & military superiors and others. He is far too inexperienced for this position. And he is totally out of touch with the majority of the U.S. population. Calling himself post-liberal…ugh…should have said pro-Fascist.

Plus, you have all the references to do all the ‘fact-checking’ one can stand if they listen to one of Frumpy’s or Vance’s lie filled speeches.

You better believe it. It’s as plain as can be when laid out side by side.

Thank you, Mary. I do hope you are feeling better now. COVID isn’t anything to screw with. I’ve had it three times thus year, and it takes a lot out of you.

I'm slowly getting better - it took nearly 5 weeks to get a negative test after the first positive one, despite the Paxlovid! I don't think that medicine did a thing for me at all. I'm still coughing and worn out, lots of headaches, but I seem to be getting a bit better little by little. Thanks for the good wishes! I'd avoided it all these years, and at almost 71 yrs old, this is definitely nothing to fool with! Glad I don't have to go to work or anything. It's nice being a stay-at-home cat lady. LOL! :)

I love that!!! A stay at home ‘cat lady’!!! That’s my kind of woman! You better watch out, I’m 72, widowed, and lonely as hell! This old retired cop and firefighter isn’t used to being alone!

Sounds like your last bout with this COVID was a rough one. Each of my bouts seemed to be worse than the one before. Hell of it is, with me homebound and disabled, I see no one, interact with no one. Yet, I contracted COVID!!! Go figure!

Listen here, my dear lady, you take care of yourself. U.S. ‘old goats’ need to hang around long enough for this younger bunch to figure out which side of democracy they need to be on!!!

Funny, I'm disabled as well (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & Fibromyalgia) and rarely go anywhere and I can't even figure out how I got this! I hadn't seen anyone except the gal at the drive-thru coffee place since about 10 days before I got sick. I'm blaming it on my cat, Izzy - she's the social butterfly around here - goes in and out the dog door (I'm currently dogless), visits all the neighbors, then comes home to cuddle. I'm sure she picked up something from someone and passed it on to me. You take care, too! We have a big job ahead of us, Daniel!

You bet we do. I just spoke with a guy here that was a Trump supporter. After I explained the ‘facts of life’ to him, and what Trump was all about, what he was doing, why he was doing it, he changed his tune toward him.

One down, several million to go!!!

Thanks for the reply, David. Like I only said at the beginning. I deeply apologize for the length. But it took me a while doing a ‘deep dive’ into these two, because I felt that not only did I want to dig up the truth, but I wanted everyone to get the truth so they could see just what a liar J. D. Vance truly is. He’s even stooped to the low depths of Trump in disrespecting those who served, or are serving, our nation.

Hell! That lying shit wore a Marine’s uniform. He served as a journalist, but he still was in the uniform. And he has the gonads to disrespect Walz, a man that he’d have to salute if he was still in service and approached him! Seriously!!!
