Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

I won't go after anyone for dressing however they want. Obsessing over someone else's choice of clothing is weird.

I will, however, go after fucking hypocrites for their hypocrisy. And JD... you're a fucking hypocritical piece of shit.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 months ago

Was going to post something similar. The messaging should not be any issues with the cross dressing but only the hypocrisy! I fucking loathe hypocrites. Have some integrity ffs.

I've been like "Who the fuck cares about him cross-dressing?" MAGA will write it off as cosplay/a joke, and I have a hard time thinking any undecideds would be convinced to vote for/against him just for a couple of photos. Then I saw this comment and it all made sense o7 😅

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago

Have some Lemmy Gold.

I swear to God, if this is what Iran is leaking in regards to the 271 page dossier on Vance

I can't WAIT to see the other 269 pages

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

It's not. Some dude on Twitter got it from some other dudes from Facebook.

A second JD Vance drag photo has hit the internet.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He really fell in love with that eye liner.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

It was legit the first and only thing that came to mind when I first saw him and subsequently. Its not even like subtle

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 months ago

We see the origin story of Vance's eyeliner.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

JD Vance actually looks kinda hot and fabulous in drag tbh, way better than in his Trumpian getup.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 months ago

His Avril Lavigne eyeliner just started making way more sense.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Better than Rudy in drag??

I'm jealous, I hit my eye about 99% of the time. This motherfucker comes out and his eyes look stunning.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The new photo quickly got more than 500,000 views with one user posting: “So this is what it’s like for August to have two Christmases in it.”

😂

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

two Christmases....so far

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 months ago (1 children)

More fabulous shot, I think

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

The eyeliner seems to always have worked on his face. I can see why he stuck with the more minimal makeup for regular events

[–] [email protected] 36 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There's a parallel universe where Vance just accepted who they were and had support from family and friends. Remember, be kind to questioning youths or they too may end up hypocritical chuds!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Mamaw was as kind as she knew how to be

"I'll never forget the time I convinced myself that I was gay. I was eight or nine, maybe younger, and I stumbled upon a broadcast by some fire-and-brimstone preacher. The man spoke about the evils of homosexuals, how they had infiltrated our society, and how they were all destined for hell absent some serious repenting. At the time, the only thing I knew about gay men was that they preferred men to women. This described me perfectly: I disliked girls, and my best friend in the world was my buddy Bill. Oh no, I'm going to hell."

When he brought up the issue with his grandmother — known to Vance as "Mamaw" — she replied bluntly: "Don't be a fucking idiot, how would you know that you're gay?"

When Vance explained his reasoning, she laughed.

"JD, do you want to suck dicks?" she said, according to the book.

The young Vance, apparently "flabbergasted," said: "Of course not!"

"Then you're not gay. And even if you did want to suck dicks, that would be okay," she replied. "God would still love you."

JD living his best life. These self haters always coming for everyone else.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 months ago

The guy who's changed his name 6 times, and no longer goes by a 'name', rather it's a nick, rails against pronouns and choice and preference and self.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago

Hawk Tuah Girl only made it to VP for her strong head game. Good for her.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That first one looked like a guy dressing as a woman for a costume party or something. This one... I'm not sure.

I don't care what anyone wears, but since these chucklefucks are trying to make laws against people in drag, I hope these get verified and the hypocrisy given a lot of air time.

That's... what drag is

Fuck this guy, but this is a real nothingburger.

I mean it's obviously a party outfit, mostly just a wig. That is not drag.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

It's about keeping them on their back foot, constantly having to justify their actions that go in the face of their supposed values. Keeping them on their back foot makes it harder for them to come up with good attack lines against their opponents because they're too busy trying to portray it as a nothingburger while they're getting made fun of constantly. And making fun of these idiots is the best way to really get under their skin and mess with them.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Everything Republicans care about is a nothingburger. The left doesn't give a shit if he's a hypocrite, we already know. Republicans, however, seeing their tough guy candidate dressed as a woman? That's gonna sting.

The most offensive part of it is how crappy he looks. Get out of my face with that Party City wig.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They’re trying to make him look hot to counter all the bad Kamala memes that keep backfiring on the chuds

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

Can the VP debate be a RuPaul lip sync for for life challenge instead? I feel like Walz would still kill it

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

Oh, he's into it this time.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

This is the guy analyzing Tim Walz having enthusiastic hand waves

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This must have been earlier at the party, the other photo looks heavier on the five-O-clock shadow, or is it the lighting?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Touched it up during the eyeliner refresh.

Or pre-~~coit~~couchal.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

These photos don't bother me at all but then I'm not a weird piece of shit.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The photos aren’t the problem. It’s the hypocrisy.
