Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

Republicans don’t trust women.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

This fight is for everything.

Man, JD Vance Sure Likes the Taste of Shit

This post is in: 

The coding bootcamp incel who was fired the other day (“Elez”) said this:

“Normalize Indian hate,” one account associated with the aide said, according to the Journal.

“You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity,” the account said on X, the paper reported.

JD Vance said this:

Vance said on Friday that the 25-year-old should be rehired.

“Here’s my view: I obviously disagree with some of Elez’s posts, but I don’t think stupid social media activity should ruin a kid’s life,” Vance said Friday on X, replying to tech billionaire Elon Musk’s post where he polled X’s users on if Elez should be brought back after making “inappropriate statements.”

Hope I don’t need to remind anyone that Vance is married to an “Indian” and has three kids named Ewan, Vivek and Mirabel. Ro Khanna didn’t need a reminder:

“Are you going to tell him to apologize for saying ‘Normalize Indian hate’ before this rehire? Just asking for the sake of both of our kids,” Khanna said Friday on X.

I mean, when you’ve lost Ro Khanna, you’ve lost, hmm, can’t really think what you’ve lost that’s worth a shit politically, but still.

Anyway, what a garbage, shit-eating human Vance is. This is the kind of guy who’d sell the sad story of his mother to make his career. Now that he’s been totally bypassed by Elon in the Trump administration, he’s become a total pick-me who will throw his family under the bus for some attention from his new Daddies.

Also, in case you had any doubts, these incels aren’t just racist pieces of shit. The coding bootcamp incel who likes to call himself “Big Balls” (I believe that’s probably a relative assessment, compared to his tiny penis) is a graduate of something called “Com”. This is a real group of sweethearts, who have been under investigation for blackmailing kids who they trick into sending them sexually explicit photos. They also distribute instructions on how to ATM skim and doxx people.

No wonder Elon wants to make it a crime to reveal the names of his little shits who are rummaging around in the Treasury systems. A federal judge has locked them out, but with Elon’s history of devotion to the rule of law, I have to doubt the effectiveness of that court order. Since he controls the Justice Department, FBI and the rest of Federal law enforcement, who’s going to make him stop?

    @emjayay: Subservient wife?  How is it that that does not describe any of the Indian women I know who are married to an Indian man.  The men might fake like they run it but everyone knows where the real power comes from.

    I have to wonder how JD is going to look his own kids in the face when they ask him about his position on this?  The kids will know and it won’t be pretty.

    @kindness:

    When the Vance kids are older and more aware of how awful their parents are, it’s very likely at least one or more of them are going to rebel.

    Michael Keaton had a great scene in Mr. Mom where he decked his boss after he went after his kids. That’s how it should be. Parents are supposed to protect their children, not feed them to the wolves for political expedience.

    Vance is claiming Elez “made a mistake.” But that was not a mistake, it was an expression of the type of person he is. The mistake he made was publicizing that information.

    @Professor Bigfoot: What still sticks with me about the Sopranos bust out episode is the scene where they’re lamenting not getting in on the credit card game, because they didn’t believe people would willingly pay a 25% or more vig just to eat out and buy clothes. Like the man said, apparently most of these suckers will empty their pockets for that feeling of superiority.

    Was informed when this first came out, on asking what caste the missus Vance might be that her family are Brahmin and so perhaps reflexively look down on, well, the majority of Indians. Or at least have some kind of magical Raj-era protection from slings and arrows aimed at south Asians in general.

    JD meanwhile takes his cue from Rubio and Cruz WRT insults hurled at the spouse. “Just the cost of doing business, dear. Love you!”

    It was reported that Usha Vance resigned from a prestigious law firm when her a-hole husband was chosen as VP. She probably made more money than him and having a lucrative career clashed with the tradwife life Vance touts as women’s true calling.

    Well here’s MY view: this kid shouldn’t be rooting around private data of Americans nor have access to sensitive government networks and databases. They can’t have it both fucking ways. Either he’s too young to have to learn his lesson, in which case he’s too young to be doing the job, or he’s old enough to do the job, in which case he is also old enough to suffer the consequences of his behavior.

    My theory for why Vance will eat whatever shit is necessary to stay in the good graces of maga is that if TCFG drops dead he’ll be in charge of federal law enforcement and have the leverage of Elon having already committed multiple felonies to make his patron Thiel the top oligarch.

    (TCFG has this currently, but is be too far gone to know if, or Muskrat hasn’t pushed him too far yet.)

    I’ve started posting on LinkedIn all the unconstitutional shit Trump and Musk are doing to undermine the security and integrity of our government. Mainly because that crowd needs to hear it most. It’s incredible how many people in the infosec space are still defending the actions of DOGE and its dear leader(s). And they’re not all crypto bros and AI peddlers; we’re talking about people in some pretty important roles, tech-wise.

    But at least when they reply with the inevitable “stay in your lane” or “I used to like you when you stayed out of politics,” they are on record as complicit and totally okay with what is going on.

    @Goku (aka Amerikan Baka):

    The US Marshalls executed him in his car or outside his car or as he was walking out of his apartment building. None of the Officers agree on where they shot him. Everybody, Police and Witness’s agree that Officers did not attempt to identify themselves before opening fire.

    His execution is understandable, as this is how Cops often react to a Cop Killer and we know that the Portland Cops and US Marshall’s view the “Proud Boy’s” to this day as another Fraternal Law Enforcement Group.

    Jay

    @Goku (aka Amerikan Baka):

    It’s a lot worse than that, The Marshalls and Portland Police weren’t wearing bodycams, were radio silent, could not agree on if his .380 pistol was in his hands, in his waistband, in his hoodie pocket or if it was just in his car. The .380 casing the Cops claimed was in his car as proof he had shot at them, was actually FedEx’ed in by somebody two weeks after the shooting by an unknown person who claimed to have found it at the scene, and was never matched to his gun. His .22 AR was in the back seat, disassembled. Cops fired 40-50 rounds at him.

    During the protests, both the Marshalls, sent in by Trump, and the Portland Police did not wear ID of any kind, used unmarked, unlicensed vehicles, and both they and the Portland Police coordinated actions and information on protestors, with Patriot Prayer and the Proud Boys. Both continued to use “non-lethal” weapons against protestors even after a Judge had banned their use.

    @Geminid: there’s a thing that some people do regarding extrajudicial executions by law enforcement: they say that gosh, the cops are just treating the evildoers, the same way that the evildoers treat each other and their victims.  But that’s a mistake, b/c the cops are uniquely vested with powers that we do not give to evil-doers.  We’re supposed to expect better of cops.  In short “but the bad guys do it, so we should do it too” is a cop-out, and unworthy of us.  It’s like when Trump says “you think every other country is so nice?  Lots of countries torture people!”  That’s not a reason to overlook torture!

    It doesn’t matter -what- Reinoehl did: when we start deciding that people can be extrajudicially executed, it’s a short trip to there being no justice at all.

    As, BTW, Black Americans have been trying to tell us for …. a century or more.  All that happened to Reinoehl, is that he was ejected from that class of people who deserve the equal protection of the law, and found himself among Black people, who can be killed with extreme prejudice by any po-po with no consequences.

    @TBone:  I’m not sure that Usha herself isn’t somewhat a hostage and undeserving of the hate posted here. I remember how she focused her attention on Bishop Budde at the National prayer breakfast. JD kept trying to divert her attention.  She kept her eyes and attention on the Bishop and her plea to show kindness and understanding for the undocumented.

    So I think she’s a more complex person than one might think.  The obvious evil one is jD.  Nothing subtle about him .

    @Chetan Murthy: I did not try to justify the killing of Michael Reinohl. I said he was wrong to kill that man in Portland, regardless of the circumstances of those demonstrations. There is video of that shooting, and you can see it was a premeditated murder. Reinohl said as much to the Raw Story reporter who interviewed him while he was on the lam. He said he hoped he could precipitate a wider war.

    @Jay: Nah, you are the one who is digging. I pointed out that that you weren’t talking about the killing of Reinohl in the second half of your comment at #100; you were talking about the circumstances of the demonstrations in Portland when Reinohl murdered a man, and that was what I responded to. You had no answer to that, so you resorted to another cheap insult.

    @Geminid:

    Naw, you keep justifying the summary execution of a suspect by the PoPo.

    Did you know that the Portland Police were out of jurisdiction with out any justification like hot pursuit.

    You are basically saying that any US Cop can kill a suspect, anywhere in the US, at will.

    Nice values.

    @Jay: I did not say any of that, or anything like it. I said the circumstances of the Portland demonstrations did not justify Reinohl murdering that man, and that is all I said.

    You accuse me of setting up a strawman, and then you put words in my mouth to justify it. Anyone can see through that.
