She could be feeling like this for a few reasons….did Trump grab her 🐈? You know how we girls love that! Maybe a republican got stuck in her uterus? That’s not one of our favs though. Or maybe she’s about to turn black? Anyone figure out how to do that yet? Perhaps it’s the reaction from the Clorox injections- I’ve heard that hurts but does wonders for covid 😂. He’s a crazy MF that Donald Trump!
Seriously who leaves the house looking like this. These are his constituents. It’s a shame to say these people actually exist. I don’t remember any republicans looking like this when Bush was around.

You’re so much better than these people. Please tell everyone how much of a better person you are. You should probably count as 2 votes right? Heaven forbid you ever have to ride an elevator at the same time or even drive in an adjacent lane. So undignified! They should be ashamed they are even born in the same country as you!
As Hilary said, the deplorable go in a basket! Worked out swell!

Well actually according to your VP candidate I had 2 kids, now you’re giving me two more, so that makes 4. 4 votes!!!!!
That’s how much you don’t know the people who post on here. I remember when republicans were respectable human beings. Your buddy opened the door for this woman’s type of behavior. Yes, she should put more clothes on.
Besides i thought you all loved when people were crude, rude, ignorant, etc. just giving you what you worship.

This is literally one of the funniest posts on this forum for years! YOU - a trump voter accusing ME of thinking I’m so much better! You don’t know nor do you really give a shit who any of us are, do you? You accuse people of spending their lives on here and the first thing you do when you get back from vacation is start posting on here because you just can’t stand that trumps losing. He’s a loser.

Now’s your chance! Tell us how much better you are? How much more educated you are? How much of a better dental plan you have? Why your life should be valued more over theirs? C’mon show us what a big person you are! Maybe the inner city blacks as well? The less fortunate too? Explain how much better you are…. Put it out there… show how virtuous you are?
Thats a true liberal Democrat! That’s the true elitist! Congrats on showing your true colors. Unreal

The truth hurts supporting the playground bully is ok by you! So tell me what I said is it a fact or not Denial is strong in you!
So...did any of you hear the Musk interview? tRump clearly was not wearing his teeth. Holy shit he was slurring like my great grandma.
We laugh, but remember how conservatives were about Joe's speech impediment. Don't become what you despise.
I feel bad, personally. Perhaps he had a stroke, in which case his family should step in and get him the help he needs. Clear elder abuse and they're just propping him up so they can keep cashing those paychecks
As a venture capitalist, JD Vance repeatedly touted his guiding principles for investing in a company: A business should not only turn a profit, it should also help American communities. That’s why, he said, he invested in AppHarvest, a startup that promised a high-tech future for farming and for the workers of Eastern Kentucky. Over a four-year span, Vance was an early investor, board member and public pitchman for the indoor-agriculture company. “It’s not just a good investment opportunity, it’s a great business that’s making a big difference in the world,” Vance proclaimed in a Fox Business interview on the day the company went public in February 2021. Last year, facing hundreds of millions of dollars in debt, AppHarvest declared bankruptcy. The rise and fall of the company, and Vance’s role in it, cuts against his image as a champion for the working class — an image that helped catapult him to the top of the Republican ticket as Donald Trump’s running mate. A CNN review of public documents, and interviews with a dozen former workers, shows that AppHarvest not only failed as a business after pursuing rapid growth, but also provided a grim job experience for many of the working-class Kentuckians Vance has vowed to help. AppHarvest employees said they were forced to work in grueling conditions inside the company’s greenhouse, where temperatures often soared into the triple digits. Complaints filed with the US Department of Labor and a Kentucky regulator between 2020 and 2023 show that workers alleged they were given insufficient water breaks and weren’t provided adequate safety gear. Some workers said they suffered heat exhaustion or injuries, though state inspectors did not find violations. Despite promising local jobs, the company eventually began contracting migrant workers from Mexico, Guatemala and other countries, numerous former employees told CNN. While Vance stepped down from AppHarvest’s board and launched his political career in 2021, he remained an investor and supporter of the company. By the time he was sworn in to office last year, the company he’d hailed as a great opportunity was mired in lawsuits filed by shareholders angry over its plummeting stock price and allegations of fraud. Several former employees told CNN they thought Vance and other board members should have recognized and responded to warning signs that company officials were misleading the public and their own investors. To some, Vance’s enthusiastic promotion of the company followed an all-too-familiar story line in the region. “Eastern Kentucky is well-known for people coming and going. They start up companies, then they disappear,” said former AppHarvest worker Anthony Morgan. “They didn’t care about us.” A spokesperson for Vance, Luke Schroeder, said in a statement that the Ohio senator “was not aware of the operational decisions regarding hiring, employee benefits, or other workplace policies which were made after he departed AppHarvest’s board. Like all early supporters, JD believed in AppHarvest’s mission and wishes the company would have succeeded.” ....continues at link

While Vance stepped down from AppHarvest’s board and launched his political career in 2021, he remained an investor and supporter of the company. By the time he was sworn in to office last year, the company he’d hailed as a great opportunity was mired in lawsuits filed by shareholders angry over its plummeting stock price and allegations of fraud.
Several former employees told CNN they thought Vance and other board members should have recognized and responded to warning signs that company officials were misleading the public and their own investors.

Like all early supporters, JD believed in AppHarvest’s mission and wishes the company would have succeeded.”
