That J.D. Vance Thread

[Thumpalumpacus]

I don't care about him fucking a couch or not. It's the people he's screwed that concern me.

Trump and Vance are now publicly attacking an Algerian boxer woman and claim that she is a man, although she was born as a woman and is a woman and isn't in any way dominant in the sport.

'Grown man pummeling a woman': Vance smears Olympic boxer as Trump compares her to 'horse'

Trump, who has made keeping transgender women out of women's sports a routine talking point at his rallies and posted a clip of the bout on Truth Social with the words, "I WILL KEEP MEN OUT OF WOMEN'S SPORTS!" raged against Khelif's participation. Neither he nor the hosts appeared to know Khelif is a woman.

Khelif's punch, Trump said, "was like getting hit by a horse."

J.D. Vance, took to the social media app X and said: "This is where Kamala Harris's ideas about gender lead: to a grown man pummeling a woman in a boxing match. This is disgusting, and all of our leaders should condemn it."

So, I just checked to see the situation for LGBT people in Algeria. Given that it’s a Muslim-majority African country, I suspected that trans rights would be practically nonexistent. Short answer: I was right. Even the comparatively mild act of cross-dressing is illegal.

Long answer, here’s a testimony from a transmasculine bisexual in Algeria that I found on Quora.

It is honestly a terrible experience for me, a transmasc bisexual. I haven't told anyone but 3 people that I really trust. I'm just waiting for an opportunity to leave and live my life peacefully, here, just cutting your hair short gives you looks. People get killed here for that, there is no safe spaces for lgbtq+ youth, no lgbtq+ therapists, and nobody to support you really. You will feel just lonely, lying to people everyday about yourself and how you feel, not being able to express yourself much… etc. It's so rare to find people like you, so hard to find open-minded people who would accept you even if their beliefs are against it, people who would share their similar experiences with you… etc. You would find good friends then they start making homophobic jokes around you, even tho they dunno about your identity because this type of jokes is very common around younger people, and you feel bad then they start shitting on them with you and you would have to pretend that you agree with them and that gay people suck… etc. And the constant fear of leaving your family and the people you love really haunts you. The fear of having to choose between religion and always being suicidal, or being yourself and happy. You get it now I think, but it really is a struggle, especially for a teenager.

And the nation with a social climate like this is supposed to put a trans woman as a cultural representative on the world stage?

I'm trying to figure out what this has to do with Vance, aside from the obvious transphobia angle.

Does this answer your question, Thumpy?

And I'm wondering what this has to do with Imane Khelif.

I don't care about him fucking a couch or not. It's the people he's screwed that concern me.

Like when he and Peter Theil decided to destroy agriculture in the small region im recently from in order to build his political cred..... Fuckin brilliant tho, say you're gonna do the thing that everyone wants - collect tax dollars, fail to provide said service. It's pure profit. Mouth agape at the government teat along the way to the dissolution of the administrative state.

[The Magic Pudding.]

Oh, this thread has nothing at all to do with Cugel.
Very disappointing.

[Mister Agenda]

That is relevant to him not actually fucking a couch how?

What snopes said doesn't disprove that Bowman, Vance, also known as the rat, and whatever other alias he may go by fucked a couch, it just disproves that he wrote about his adventures in couch fucking in his book.  And even if he didn't he's such a vile and disgusting piece of shit that he deserves every single kicking that he is getting.

Thought just making shit up about their opponents and sticking with it despite no support for it being real was more of a Republican thing. I get why they do it...it's all they've got. Vance is such a target rich environment that you can spend just as much time on shit he's really said and done.

But it's still a free-ish country, carry on.
