Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Don't forget that weird sofa dude was born as James Donald Bowman, and JD Vance is his preferred name.
Keep that in mind when he attacks people with preferred names and deadnames trans folks.
You mean, Shay D Vance?
shadynasty's
I too, enjoy calling him shady vance
From someone who isn't from the Anglo world, it's fucking weird how you guys never use your given name and you can use your preferred name on official paper, it also made my old job a freaking pain.
is jd vance his legal name?
Yes, because he legally changed it. He was born James Donald Bowman and was later James David Hamel before the James David Vance he is today.
There has to be something he's running away from. That's weird! Two name changes? I look at my name and don't think twice about it. I could be called Doughnut Trump and probably live out my life. I wouldn't go ask a judge to please change my name to Jason Markonovic and then then have a change of heart and call my self Duke Salamantis. The fact that he did that is just weird and he should come forward and explain it.
From what I read, the first time was because Donald Bowman was his birth father's name. When his mother remarried, he took a random D name to keep the same initial and his stepfather's last name. Finally, he chose Vance in honor of his grandmother who raised him. He has changed personalities wildly over the years as well. Borderline Personality Disorder. perhaps?
That's not how bpd works lol
No, I don't think he actually has it. But it is one of the first things that came to mind when I read about his name and personality changes over the years.
I have bpd, i get it lol
He does whatever he thinks will get him further. There was an interview that surfaced where he was talking about Thiel recognizing him as someone who will do anything for anyone if it gets him ahead
It's his biological name.
What was the couch fucker born with a tatoo of its name on its back?
