I want to give a warning before I forge ahead with this preview of sorts on tomorrow night’s VP debate. There might be some ‘inappropriate’ language as I as usual ‘tell it like it is’ from my studio within the godforsaken borders of rogue red radical right Oklahoma.
I’ve tried to steer away from inappropriate language on this blog most of the time, but this might be one of those instances where that might be an impossible task for Mike J.
There’s a reason in my mind why I’ve posted this video of Lindsey Graham the day before JD Vance takes the stage tomorrow night in New York for what I’m certain will be a contentious debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz.
That reason being…there’s only one current U.S. Senator other than JD Vance who has lied, flip-flopped, and in a political sense sucked Donald Trump’s dick more than JD Vance. And of course, that U.S. Senator is Lindsey Graham… the ultimate GOP Donald Trump psychophant.
But even Lindsey Graham to my knowledge never called Donald Trump America’s version of Hitler. Even I haven’t done that on my blog and my consistent disdain for Trump hasn’t wavered once since he came down that escalotor with his paid escort.
I read JD’s book. Quite a tale. Right there with the Switzer book Bootlegger’s Boy, which I enjoyed. The NY Times had Hillbilly’s Elegy on their non-fiction bestseller list, but I’m pretty sure JD slurred the lines between non-fiction and aspirational fiction in the book.
Either way…it was an interesting read on dysfunction, alcoholism, drug addiction, domestic abuse, and how a kid who was almost flunking out in high school turned it around and became a graduate of Ohio State and subsequently Yale Law School as well.
Where the novel stopped is the part where JD then moved to San Franciso and became a high tech venture capitalist. Nothing wrong with that for certain. That’s American Dream stuff and I talk about the American Dream all the time on this blog.
Then JD defeated the highly qualified Tim Ryan for a United States Senate seat.
JD back in 2016 basically assailed Donald Trump for being a human being lacking the basic human qualities one would think requisite of becoming the President of the United States. You know, pretty much like the majority of GOP senators who straddle the ethical fence with Trump, but who all know they can’t go anywhere in contemporary American politics without kissing Donald Trump’s ring or something else near the beltline.
Truth hurts.
How as voters do we decide in 2024 which is darker and slimier….American politics or the American Christian Evangelical movement?
You Trump fake Christians…you tell me.
So I guess in today’s GOP the fact JD called his current running mate America’s verson of Hitler is pretty much a non-starter for the Trump base as we near this general election.
I’l say this for JD…I don’t think he’s stupid and I don’t think he will melt down like Donald Trump did in his debate loss against Kamala Harris.
My advice to Tim Walz would be…be careful. Don’t just go in there thinking this is going to be easy. Because I don’t it will be. This dude is slippery.
I think it will be an interesting and contentious debate.
I’m going fishing tomorrow in my quest to touch all of Oklahoma’s Top Fifty Lakes and Rivers so as I won’t be in a dark mood before watching this spectacle.
