I'm neither republican or democrat. I lived and worked in SF for over a decade and know of JD Vance and Peter Thiel. I'm just wondering what the relationship is/was that prompted Thiel and his group to take this relative unknown guy and pump tens of millions into getting him established in business and then tens of millions more into getting him established in politics.

You are right, nobody spends that kind of money without expecting a return on investment. I'd just like to know what the expected return is.


Probably way less than Ukraine got when they bought Biden. How many hundred billion did they get?

You are a good little clone aren't you. I have never been a Biden fan, I believe he has been bought and sold like every other politician.

What I refuse to to is play the "whataboutism" game you are trying to do. It's an old tactic, used by both sides to cover up bad behavior. Our guy did this, but what about their guy? An old magicians misdirection trick, and both sides fall for it. JD Vance is just a younger version of Joe Biden, an opportunist working his crowd to have them ignore the pick-pocket among them.

Biden is a crook, Vance is weird, Walz misspoke about an event 20 years ago, Trump is a rapist, Harris slept her way to the top. Blah, blah, blah.....

Not one word about the fiscal policy that is putting us into a hole we may never dig out of. How many more trillions in debt will both parties pile on with everyone looking the other way. Give me a candidate that will actually show a fiscal policy and he or she will get my vote.

Other than that, please keep throwing stones at each other and ignore the man behind the curtain.

I fail to see anything weird about Vance. Other than he actually acts manly, sort of like a teddy Roosevelt. In this day an age some people cannot handle that. What is Weird is people who claim to hate him watching his every move. Maybe they have a gay crush on him, wishing they could catch for him or something. But that ain’t my realm and ain’t his either. But they seem to keep hoping.

Lefties are NOT angry with him.

He’s a huge drag on the ticket. A cat-obsessed weirdo. The most unpopular VP pick a generation. A huge mistake by Donny. We LOVE him!!
You love what you consider to be a mistake that hurts Trump

and you probably never heard of him before now, so you can't hate that you used to love him

Lefty pole think trump will listen when they say you gotta get rid of that guy. As if they would tell the opposition to get rid of a bad pick. They think conservatives are as dumb as they are.

I don't know JD Vance, I know nothing about him being weird or otherwise. I do know that the public filings that his companies are required to make leave me slightly disturbed. As do his financial filings with the Senate Ethics committee. Some of the filings of his mentor Peter Thiel also leave me with questions. I do know you will never hear about this on truth social, fox news, or main stream media, as they cater to the morons that just want to sling shit.

I also know that sheep tend to blindly follow whomever jumps in the lead, then the other sheep follow without knowing any better. Keep following.
