Vance’s top tome? “I would have to say Tolkien”, Vance replied. “I’m a big Lord of the Rings guy, and I think, not realising it at the time, but a lot of my conservative worldview was influenced by Tolkien growing up.” Alas there seems to be no record of Vance being pressed on what aspects of the trilogy he felt had had most impact on his politics. Was it possibly Frodo’s charity towards the tortured Gollum that helped lead Vance in 2019 to his conversion to Catholicism? But there’s nothing specifically conservative (in the American New Right sense of the word) about that. Was it the bucolic and separated lifestyle of the hobbits of the Shire, very long rural lives with strong social gradations (labouring Sam calling Frodo “master”, whereas Merry and Pippin are his equals so don’t need to) riven only by the petty jealousies of the likes of the Sackville-Bagginses?

Democrats are energized this weekend as they consider the possibility that Vice President Kamala Harris, a former prosecutor, might be taking the fight directly to ex-president and convicted felon Donald Trump.

Trump's own niece, Mary Trump, flagged a quote from Harris 2019.

"I prosecuted sex predators. Trump is one. I shut down for-profit scam colleges. He ran one," Harris said at the time. "I held big banks accountable. He's owned by them. I'm not just prepared to take on Trump, I'm prepared to beat him."

"This, my friends, is what they call a mic drop," Mary Trump said on Sunday, sharing a screen shot of the quote.

Of course he is. He hates women - especially women with power - because he fears them. This is the same old bullshit from That Orange Asshole, and it's not even worth paying attention to at this point.

Just watch, though. The Media was a major source of the pressure on Biden to stand down. Did they learn their lesson about dabbling in politics?

Just watch.

Oh! And good to see you again Sean! :dancer:

Sounds like a Trump plan. His fertile peanut brain has a history of this sort of stupidity genius.

HA! I called that a bit ago. Honestly, it's rational for Trump to not want to debate. He'd likely get hammered so why risk it if he has a decent shot at winning without it?

If I were Kamala, I would absolutely challenge him to one. Let him come up with excuses for why he can't.

I suspect Vance will be a regular source of reasons to vote for Harris.

Vance Calls Harris a Miserable Childless Cat Lady
When he was running for Senate in 2022, Vance said the following about Kamala Harris and other female Democrats holding elective office:
"We're effectively run in this country via the Democrats, via the corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too. It's just a basic fact. You have Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC, the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children. How does that make any sense when we've turned our country over to people who don't have a direct stake in it."
