Fuck JD Vance

First of all, JD Vance s as phony as they come. Probably even more than trump. trump is dumbass bullshitter and can't help himself. Vance on the other hand is super calculating and manipulative. What pisses me off most is Vance shittng on the service of US Vets. While I have never served in the military, I am the child of a deceased war casualty military veteran. My father served 26 years before he couldn't any longer. In those 26 years, he fought in Germany, did spy work in the od East Germany, served and was injured in Korea and served and was shot in Vietnam to come stateside and die from those injuries a week before Christmas when I was 7 years old. So Mr. Vance, my question is this: where in the fuck, in your conceited, selfish attitude do you get off on pissing on those who have served in the military. I for one am thankful for ALL those who have served, whether in combat or not and I grieve for the loss of families of those who have put themselves in harm's way!! So in summary, JD Vance, go fuck yourself and the couch you love!

So here's JD's MOS (think: Military Job Description). I'm not sure he's qualified to utter the word "valor".

Could have done without the "dont laugh" comment, but I think EM was just pointing out his MOS description. The point I think EM was trying to make is that Vance really has no right bashing Coach for not seeing combat when he himself didn't see it either. Vance is a POS, but he did serve. As did I in case you are wondering.

George Noory, one of the nation's most overrated and useless radio hosts, has a military history like that--same type of thing, press release, writing, that sort of thing. Noory, even though he is a rw jerk and gun enthusiast, at least has the savvy to apologize for his military history when it is brought up. He will even come right out and say to a guest who has service, that his record is not equivalent.

Sitting behind a desk is not the same as active field involvement. It just isn't.

If a distinction is not made, many will not look any further than just saying they served. That is what you are advocating. Let Vance present himself as having done service that's equivalent to Walz's.

And keep in mind--that's my background--writing press releases and all the stuff Vance did. If anyone should know, it is I.

It's like saying a physical education degree and a physics degree are equivalent. They're not.

also why are you putting words in the mouth of other posters? No one is trashing: just drawing attention to the fact that the jobs aren't the same., Please do not do this again.

Under normal circumstances, I stand in gratitude for ALL men and women that sign on the dotted line with their life to maintain my freedom. All MOSs know how to shoot a gun and can be called to the front line at anytime. Vance isn't normal; he started the conversation questioning Walz's service. I'm merely suggesting that if he wants to go there....let's go there. He's judgmental. Just as he stands in judgement of the very personal choices made by women about their bodies. He doesn't get to have it both ways. IMHO

1.
In a place called Mar-a-Lago
Lives a man named Donald Trump
He is loose with his diction
Can’t tell fact from fiction
No smarter than Forrest Gump

Now Donald got his bankers
To lend him a billion or two
He said just let me borrow what I’ll pay back tomorrow
But that’s something he would never do.

Chorus:
And it’s bad, bad Donald Trump
Bad for the nation like a toxic dump
Larger than old King Kong
Meaner than a right-wing blog

2.
Now Don was in the White House
Caused us a great big mess
Thought he could fudge it and destroyed our budget
Then he called it a success

Now he’s come back for a replay
And it’s widely understood
The more we go shootin’ pleases his old pal Putin
But some folks think that’s good

Chorus:
And it’s bad, bad Donald Trump
Bigger and fatter than a camel’s hump
Larger than old King Kong
Meaner than a right wing blog

3.
Now Donald got him a V P
A guy named J D Vance
Said, “the guy sounds crazy,
“And since I am lazy,
“(I’m) gonna bring him to the dance.”

So, they flew up to Milwaukee
Confirmed people’s fears
Big nomination, but it caused no sensation
And it bored everyone to tears



Chorus:
And it’s bad, bad Donald Trump
Bad for the nation like a toxic dump
Larger than old King Kong
Meaner than a right wing blog


4.
But J D has his own plans
Which Donald doesn’t know,
Thinks, “if we’re elected
“Then I am selected
“To ditch him and run the show!”

Final chorus:
And it’s bad, bad, J D Vance
He’ll take over given half a chance
Badder than old King Kong
Meaner than a right-wing blog

Yeah, it’s bad, bad, J D Vance
He’ll take over given half a chance
Badder than old King Kong
Meaner than a right-wing blog

Badder than old King Kong

For why this blanket 'thank you for your service' bleating needs to stop.

When you say that, you have no idea whatsoever if the person is deserving of it. I'm a vet, and i can assure you that not every service member was worthy of the uniform. Every veteran will tell you that they've worked with just as many idiots and toxic personalities as they ever did in civilian life.

They're people, like anyone else. Some of them have jobs where they get shot at, and those people rate a bit higher, but, in most cases during the modern era, it's still only a job where the difference from what civilians do would be the weird rules we had to follow.

I've worked elsewhere in the federal government, and, honestly, I was prouder of that work, and the job was far more demanding, than what I did for the military. But I don't get any thanks at all for the fed job, other than a cheap certificate after retiring from it.

... Walz, who spent 24 years in the National Guard, left in 2005 months before the battalion he led was notified that it would to be deployed to Iraq. Vance also appeared to reference previous comments from Walz in which the governor said, "We can make sure that those weapons of war, that I carried in war, is the only place where those weapons were at."

"Well, I wonder Tim Walz, when were you ever in war?" Vance said. "What was this weapon that you carried into war given that you abandoned your unit right before they went to Iraq, and he has not spent a day in a combat zone?"

Vance himself served in the Marine Corps for four years, and he also never saw combat. He worked as a combat correspondent in Iraq between August 2005 and February 2006 ...

Alexander Vindman, a retired Army lieutenant colonel, wrote ... "Vance enlisted & served 4 yrs, including 6 months in Iraq in 2005 as a reporter w/ a Public Affairs section of a Marine Aircraft Wing ...

I know exactly where he was at in Al-Asad during my Iraq deployment in 05' (around the same time as him as well), in a big air-conditioned bunker with the rest of 2nd MAW (FWD) HQ squadron. While me and everyone else were sweating our fuckin' asses off out in the open or in not so protective structures making sure these planes kept flying. In my case I was at the Bomb Dump on a deployment with my unit MALS-42 700 Div. (Ordnance) doing aviation ordnance operations with MALS-11's 700 Div. Last time I checked, paper pusher Cpl. Vance wasn't working near several hundred tons of explosives. May have run into that asshole while I was at the PX. So yeah, fuck him!

75. Why Was JD Vance Only An E-4 When He Got Out After 4 Years?
Sat Aug 10, 2024, 04:11 PM
Aug 2024

One is eligible for promotion to E-5 after 3 years of service. Granted, the promotion is competitive and must be earned. So, did he get promoted then busted or was he just an underachiever? Somebody needs to inquire about that. I know that I made E-5 after 3 years of service.

With his record of service, he is a fine one to be slandering somebody else's military service. Trump sure can't because of his draft dodger status (alleged bone-spurs).
