Even Ohio’s Republican Governor Blasts Ramaswamy.
Ohio Governor’s Race Background
Popular Information: At 12 years old, Amy Acton was the victim of sexual abuse. After her stepfather was indicted on charges of raping Acton, her estranged mother, Donna Arthur, took her stepfather’s side and left the state with him as he fled justice.
Now, Acton is the Democratic gubernatorial candidate in Ohio and her Republican opponent, Vivek Ramaswamy, is turning her history of abuse into a political attack ad. In the ad, Arthur accuses Acton of lying about her past.
The ad began circulating on social media on Monday night when it was included in a political survey. On Tuesday evening, Ramaswamy told reporters that the ad came from his campaign but had not yet been shown on TV. Despite bipartisan backlash, Ramaswamy’s campaign decided to dig in later on Tuesday night, spending $4 million to air the ad across Ohio.
In the ad, Arthur did not specifically mention the rape charges against her husband, but repeatedly called her daughter a liar. “Amy has a serious problem. She is a liar. She lies about her past. She says she grew up living in a tent. None of that is true. She’s lied her entire life,” Arthur said.
Arthur’s account, however, is not credible.
Court records indicate that Acton’s stepfather was found living in a tent when Acton was a child, and Acton’s campaign provided documents to CBS indicating that the family lived in a tent for a year.
Arthur has previously claimed that Acton lied about being raped by her stepfather. In a 2020 interview with an anti-abortion group called Operation Rescue, Arthur said, “I haven’t seen my daughter since she was 12 years old and that was when my daughter lied and said my second husband raped her.”
Acton’s stepfather, Cledith Arthur, was arrested and charged with raping Acton in 1978. He pleaded not guilty but was later indicted by a grand jury. Arthur supported her husband after his arrest. She went with him when he fled Ohio for Pennsylvania to avoid prosecution, abandoning her children. Cledith Arthur never returned to Ohio, despite warrants for his arrest. He died in 2004.
Question of the Day
Q: Why or how could anyone be stupid enough to run that ad?
A: Desperation
The bipartisan backlash was quick except by J.D. Vance who is going to regret his stupid comments.
J.D. Vance Defends the Ad
Yesterday, NBC reported J.D. Vance tells Ohio Republicans to ‘stop whining’ about ad with Acton’s mother
Vice President J.D. Vance told Ohio Republicans to “stop whining” about an advertisement taking spotlight in the state governor’s race.
“I have to admit that I’m a little bit disgusted when I see Republicans across the country who are whining more about that advertisement than they are about what the congressional Democrats and other Democrats want to do to the United States of America,” Vance said at an appearance in Cincinnati.
“I would love for this race and this election to be about the substantive issues that impact Ohioans,” Ramaswamy said Tuesday night at an appearance in Westerville. “Unfortunately, Amy Acton has been hiding from those issues.”
The ad was initially posted to social media without clarification as to who sponsored it, but Ramaswamy later said his campaign would spend $4 million on the ad and plans to put it on TV.
In response, Acton’s campaign released an ad featuring Acton’s brother, who testified to the abuse in their childhood.
“I received a lot of abuse, but Amy always got the worst of it,” Phillip Stearns, Acton’s brother, said in the response ad. “She continued to receive that abuse, because she knew she had to protect me from that, and that if she hadn’t done that, who knows where I would have ended up?”
“Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not really my concern,” Vance said.
Whining Hypocrites
Talk about whining. Listen to whiner J.D. Vance siding with pedophiles in attack ads. Well, that’s par for this administration.
And look hypocrite Ramaswamy running the stupidest political ad in history whining about wanting a campaign run on issues.
Even Ohio’s Republican Governor Mike DeWine could not take it.
Ohio Governor Blasts Ramaswamy’s Attack Ad
NBC reports Ohio Governor calls for Ramaswamy to Pull Ad Featuring Acton’s Mother
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine on Thursday called for Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to pull an ad featuring Democrat Amy Acton’s estranged mother.
The ad features Acton’s mother calling her daughter a liar and urging Ohioans not to vote for her. Acton and her mother have been estranged since 1978 when her mother’s husband was arrested for allegedly raping the then-12-year-old Acton.
“It was wrong to run this ad,” DeWine said. “I would urge the Ramaswamy campaign to take this down. It’s just wrong.”
While he called for the ad to be pulled, DeWine said he was not changing his endorsement. “What Mike DeWine thinks, or endorses, is pretty irrelevant,” DeWine said. “What’s not irrelevant is this ad. This ad is relevant, it’s wrong. It needs to be taken down.”
“In regard to telling the truth, my experience with her working closely with her every single day, she certainly told the truth, in my experience,” DeWine said
Political Suicide
- Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina sharply criticized the ad, calling it “the most shameful, disgusting, offensive ad this election season.”
- Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said the ad “needs to come down.”
- Republican Sen. John Husted of Ohio told the Associated Press he would not have aired the commercial.
- Republican Lydia Mihalik, director of the Ohio Department of Development and former mayor of Findlay, wrote on X: “I don’t have to agree with Amy Acton’s politics to believe that exploiting someone’s childhood trauma is wrong. … There is a difference between fighting for your principles and abandoning them to win.”
- Former Republican strategist Mike Murphy, who is now a prominent MAGA critic, wrote on X: “This Ramaswamy ad in OH is looking more and more like political suicide.”
- Chris Christie via Washington Post: “Seriously? The question for all Republicans is whether this type of attitude is what we want leading our party going forward. For the last decade, our party has been infected by a corrupted moral center. Vance’s acceptance of this campaign ad only breathes life into the disease that we should be seeking to cure.”
Too Late to Pull
It’s too late to pull the ad. The damage is done. It was stupid to run it. And it is stupid to defend it.
Officially, DeWine supports the Republican ticket.
Unofficially, read between the lines. “She [Democrat Governor Candidate Amy Acton] certainly told the truth, in my experience,” says all you need to know.
This Governor’s Race Is Over
Sabato’s Crystal Ball reports Ohio to Leans Democratic Among Other Changes as Dems Eye Gubernatorial Majority
Sabato is at least as cautious as Cook Political.
By the time Sabato makes a shift, it’s obvious to the world that a shift happened long ago.
Crystal Ball Gubernatorial Changes
What Sabato calls leans, I call likely. That’s a net pickup of two governor seats.
I have Georgia no worse than tilt Democrat which would make +3, and Nevada a genuine tossup for a potential +4.
A 60% chance is not a tossup in my book but there is no official definition of tilt, lean, likely or solid.
Proposal
46-54: Tossup
55-62: Tilt
63-75: Lean
76-90: Likely
91+: Solid
Sabato’s Cloudy Ball
Sabato see has races others rate at 70 percent still labeled tossups.
It should not take a lot of courage to move the Ohio Governor’s race to lean Democrat. But it did.
And Sabato’s Cloudy Ball still has Ohio Senate rated as a tossup which I find ridiculous.
Ohio Senate Polymarket
For Ohio Senate, Silver Deluxe is 72.5 Democrat and Polymarket took a leap to 70.0 percent today, possibly on Ramaswamy’s idiotic ad that should end his political career.
Sabato’s Cloudy Ball is useless other than as lagging confirmation of what everyone else already knows.
The End of Ramaswamy’s Political Career?
That preposterous ad should be an unrecoverable error. Let’s hope so, along with John Paxton in Texas.
It’s time to boot all these pedophile-protecting cretins from office permanently.
Addendum – Including Trump

Just because her stepfather was living in a tent when Acton met her, does not mean that Acton was living in a tent.
Indicted before a Grand Jury? The old saying that a prosecutor could get a Grand Jury to indict a ham sandwich is there, because its true. Note that the mother refers to him as her “second husband”.

It’s not good manners to call someone idiotic. It’s far more effective, as well as better manners, to explain (even if briefly) WHY something they have said is idiotic.
Law enforcement reports confirm that Amy Acton and her little brother were living in a tent in the winter time with their mother and stepfather.

Please do not vote for that dirtbag snake oil salesman epstein class lowlife vivek ramaswamy
I
Bet
That ramaswamy would screw everybody over to make even more money
And ramaswamy and paxton are the two worst candidates this year
He is an Indian (from India). I think you would expect him to have money on his mind.
I thought Vivek made sense during the 2024 Election race.
But this is insanity. He seems to have lost it completely !!!
If he wants to point at his opponent NOT focusing on broader issues, why is he willingly going down THAT rabbit hole and himself getting sidetracked into this kind of nonsense, contradicting himself in full public view.
Then there is the issue of NOT crossing certain lines/boundaries. DO NOT get personal about your opponent, ESPECIALLY when the subject is as sensitive as an underaged girl being forced upon by her own father. Whether it is true or not, it is TOTALLY CRINGY and Vivek is showing that he has completely lost it and is unworthy of a leadership role in public life.
As an aside, he is a disgrace to the culture and religion he claims to adhere to !!!
I just want to find a hole to hide in, its so shameful !!!
Regarding culture and religion ramaswamy is a BS artist as he has nothing but greed and membership in the epstein class cult of personality
Wow. Just wow. Defies belief.
Trump defending it now… theses people are steaming hot liquid shit

vote Blue. our boys and girls only do famine and genocide to the poorest people on planet. /sarc. if you don’t vote green or libertarian you are part of the problem. as i have told a thousand people in the past 40 plus years. democracy works. assholes will elect themselves to do asshole things. so watch out when you live in an empire of assholes. take out a globe and see where usa has military…….threateningly obvious.
Remember when you claimed you bought a house with gold coins?
One thing about you, old mate, you know what your message is, and you stick to it. I think you’re right in that democracy requires a reasonably sensible electorate to work, and the time when that existed has passed. We have a religion now, the Education religion, and the priests (teachers, journalists, judges) tell us what to think. Priests always stuff things up badly, so the next step (if Western society survives at all) should be rule by the soldiers, who live by force. That was what the feudal system was in Europe.
Pedo protector party. If you vote for a pedo are you a pedo?
Went on TV without putting in her top denture, lol.
If there’s one thing the Republican party has made clear since 2015 is they will ignore and even protect people accused of rape, sexual assault, pedophilia, trafficking.
I don’t think it’s possible to make it any clearer they really specialize in objectifying women, especially if you look like Ivanka.
If you have a daughter, think about their message for her.
Do you mean Ken Paxton and not John Paxton?
Mish must have been a big Bulls fan back in the day.
Or an Aliens fan. RIP Private Hudson.
Like I said in a previous post, “Burn it! Burn it all the hell down!” Rake the coals and let the ashes scatter to the wind! These suckers are toast.
JD Vance was the calm, stable one. Now he’s just a Trump chump water boy. Maybe he thought he was defending the GOP, but now he’s going to be defending himself. The never back down attitude he’s gotten from Taco is going to crush his big dreams of being the head cheese. Though will still get the pediphile vote. So there is that…
JD doesn’t have enough of a center of his own, to avoid oscillating like a warm tub of jello. He was a one-hit wonder with the neglected white man shtick.
He’s an opportunistic suck boy. Nothing more.
Mish,
There is more to the story here with Trump and Dewine. Trump basically told Dewine to appoint Ramaswamy to backfill JD Vance after the 2024 election. Dewine declined. He wanted someone who could run again for office in 2028 and he wanted what was best for the state. Ramaswamy wasn’t going to run again in 2028 because he was going to run for President again.
As I have said before, Ramasway is a carpetbagger tech bro who wants some elected office stink before he runs for President again. I never heard of him in Ohio politics before 2024, and my family is linked in to politics at the state level.
Gotta start getting my popcorn ready for the bloodbath that is coming in 12 days.
Trump was apparently listening when Mike said something akin to “What Mike DeWine thinks, or endorses, is pretty irrelevant,” DeWine said.
4D political chess. If she wins it will haunt her in the years to come similar to Omar. “Not To My Knowledge”: Ilhan Omar Can’t Quite Rule Out Marrying Her Brother In Wild Interview.
This is the best the GOP has for us huh?
“It’s her fault that she got raped by her step dad at 12. She was asking for it.”
That’s the R party line these days. To original poster that’s why it’s 4D chess. BC drumpf says so, the cult is always right.
yes they are just fucking sick I do not understand how anyone can vote for them mean, bad character, no morals .no moral compass, win no matter how. poor sportsmanship and did I mention ok with pedophilia I cant believe even 20 percent of the people are ok with the republican party s it stands. It has taught me so much about people. now I avoid them
Lies & more lies. Apparently lies to keep in practice while working together 24/7 every day of the week & weekends:
“What Mike DeWine thinks, or endorses, is pretty irrelevant,” DeWine said.
“What’s not irrelevant is this ad. This ad is relevant, it’s wrong. It needs to be taken down.”
“In regard to telling the truth, my experience with her working closely with her every single day, she certainly told the truth, in my experience,” DeWine said
What will haunt her?
Exactly. She was already winning before this unforced error by Ramalama-dingdong. Vivek keeps saying this needs to be about the issues and Acton won’t debate him. It is about the issues. People are tired of inflation, tariffs data centers, etc. Mostly all caused by Vivek’s party. Acton isn’t debating him because she doesn’t have to.
More public scrutiny going forward. She is the one chasing power. Kind of like Omar 10 years of rumors looking like there is really a fire there under all the smoke. She is a 60 YO public figure playing the believe all women poor me 12 YO nonsense aiming for the sympathy voters. Not sure how that makes her a better governor than the other candidates for office. Some would argue it makes her tougher. Others would argue she is damaged and carries that emotional baggage and trauma. One of her opponents just raised a flag that her own mother says she is a liar and won’t have anything to do with her. Why don’t we want to believe all women now? We just finished the Clancy trail nonsense. Kind of like Pocahontas having to retract her Indian heritage nonsense after benefiting for decades free education funds, preferential hiring. Oops because she was lied to.
ah another blame the victim MAGA cultist. Yes, child protective services took her and her younger brother away from her mom and step-father when she was 12. Her mother abandoned her to flee with the alleged rapist. Somehow, she rose above that and graduated high school, college, and a obtained a medical degree and practiced medicine for decades. And raised 3 kids. And her younger brother vouches for her and thanks her for caring for him as the older sister.
But yeah, she must be a liberal plant and have lied all these years. You and Arthur Orwell should exchange contact information so that you can reinforce your mutual views about vile lying abused young women.
Tell me that you are not an incel.
“I don’t care about child rape” is a good election winner. You should tell people in real life, preferably big guys at bars, how you feel.
Good idea Creamer. I’ll add that I hope he tells me which bar he is going to do that at, and I will go there to watch the festivities.
One of the very few motives for marrying a single mom is getting access and control of young kids, alas. It is not that uncommon. A Dutch dame turned comedian later in life described in detail how her mother divorced her real dad, married a rapist, and sided with him against her three daughters… While keeping the real father out of the family. These things happen, Mike.
you must be a pedo to defend one so strongly
President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Google CEO Sundar Pichai rejected his request to rename the Atlantic Ocean after himself or America, following the company’s earlier compliance with renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.
Trump backs Vivek, and his ad, on Truth Social, suggesting to me, a subconscious appeal to the voter with a predatory gleam in the eye:
“I suggested, on the other hand, that Vivek should keep it up, and let everyone listen to the mother of a defective, dishonest, and incapable Candidate, explain how the daughter is a DISASTER who, uncontrollably, lies, cheats, and steals!”
https://www.13abc.com/2026/10/22/trump-defends-controversial-ramaswamy-ad-featuring-actons-estrange-mother/
Trump siding with child rapists? Never! On a less sarcastic note, trump and Vance did manage to surprise me, defending this vile and self defeating add. Even after 10 years of crazy they can still go lower.
Trump is so obviously a molester. I am so sad he got elected. He changed america into something mean and disgusting. I did not think people were that dark preverted and nasty but I was wrong.
As I understand it, Trump always paid the girls, if they were the sorts of girls who wanted to be paid for sex. I’m so sorry you think he “changed America into something mean and disgusting.” I thought there was a fair bit that was mean and disgusting about our Christian culture already, even before it was made worse by switching to the Education religion. What’s worse is the sheer stupidity and arrogance of people who think they can dictate morals to other people. Anyone who preaches to you about morality (such as a Sunday School teacher or a university lecturer) always turns out to be either mentally retarded or a criminal himself, maybe both).
Swarthy Ramaswamy ..
Hope so.
Tomorrow SPX will be down a minimum 4% and oil (very transiently)also down a bit.
Oh, man, I wish I could take the other side of your trades and your trades only.
Aren’t Republicans the ones who are constantly concerned about pedophiles, frequently spreading false rumors about Democrats related to this? Where did the constant concern about this issue disappear to all of a sudden?
Republicans protect real pedophiles in the name of fighting imaginary pedophiles. It is remarkable.
Was anyone actually convicted of anything in this case? If this lady’s stepfather “fled the state,” why wasn’t he extradited? Was the case so flimsy that an extradition order could not be obtained? As you Americans would say, “just asking.” (I’ve noticed that even quite bright Americans like to say “just saying,” after saying something a little bit contentious. Maybe you’re more polite that Australians, but that seems to me to be taking it a bit too far.)
The man died shortly after fleeing the state. I guess that ended the case.
Death is no excuse – Some demand conviction after death
Huh? It happened in 1978 and he died in 2004. That is a quarter century at least even if you assume he was not immediately charged. No way he fled the state in the 2000s.
Back in those days, almost 50 years ago, prosecutors didn’t pursue these types of cases nearly as vigorously as they do today.
Which shows you the alarming importance of fashion in law in a decadent society.
so you’re pro-rape of adolescents? are you seriously saying that a society that goes after pedophiles is decadent?
He’s openly pro-pedophile so of course he does. I post the link to him calling Epstein’s victims hookers every time he talks so people know they’re dealing with a dyed in the wool tickler of toddlers.
I get the impression that rape of little boys in boarding schools is pretty common throughout the English-speaking world, also floggings by teachers, who no doubt enjoy it. I’m not in favor of the exercise of power to gain sexual privileges or favors. People in authority in our decadent culture are just filth. It’s not Trump: he is one of the less unclean ones. All the filth who tell lies to children (they call it “education”) and make a living out of it, are just as guilty as big boys raping little boys in boarding schools.
I get sick of trying to explain it to fools sometimes.
Government education as we know it got started, as I understand it, in Prussia, as a military measure. They needed to have boys understand a few elementary facts, and how to read and write, so that they would be more useful in the army. The nuns could not provide that sort of knowledge (nuns don’t go in for elementary facts) in the sorts of schools they ran.
Then Bismarck federated Germany (pretty roughly), and extended the system throughout the whole country, which was too big for other countries that aspired to be competitive in a military way to ignore. So the whole Western world adopted compulsory government-controlled education.
Of course, the women and the decadents soon got involved. There is no need to go into detail about what they did. It’s a wonder that the theory of evolution and Newton’s laws of motion are still known about.
Your ideas of what is decadent and what is natural are shaped by this sick environment. I’m not saying that we might not agree to a large extent about cases and instances. But the whole approach of pretending that girls doing what girls do naturally is wrong, and that boys or men who go to bed with them are evil, is a product of a sort of hysterical reaction to a nonsensical cultural climate in which normal is bad and sick theories are good. I’m sorry if I can’t make it any easier to understand at present.
Those charges wouldn’t have been important enough to extradite someone for back in the day. And he died after they fled.
I’m amazed at myself by being amazed again at your irrational line of reasoning.
Re-read what you wrote, and then think about the following.
A mother was married to her second husband and living with him and her two adolescent children in a tent. She decides to flee with him to another state after he is arrested and released, after being indicted for raping the 12 year old step daughter. She abandons her daughter and son. She has zero contact with either child for about 50 years, and when her daughter tries to kiss her goodbye at 12, she rebuffs her.
The daughter grows up and despite all that, graduates high school, then goes onto college and then grad school and gets a medical degree. She practices medicine for many years while raising a family. Note that she hasn’t abandoned her kids. She then decides to run for Governor.
Somehow, she is poised to win the election, but maybe it’s not a big surprise, because 1. the other party has spent the last two years doing everything possible to alienate the electorate, and 2. her opponent is an entitled tech billionaire political novice with the social skills of a doormat that my dog crapped on.
So said tech billionaire says to himself, he says, ‘wait it would be a great idea to dig up my opponents 80-something year old mother from whatever hole that she is hiding is and see if we can get her to come out of her dementia haze and declare that her daughter, who she has had no contact with, is a serial liar and terrible person.’
Yet somehow Arthur, you conclude that the case from 50 years old must have been flimsy, and imply that somehow that disqualifies Amy Acton? Or something else? Honestly I don’t know where you’re going with this.
And in totally unrelated news, here’s Arthur defending Jeffrey Epstein:
https://mishtalk.com/economics/does-president-trump-have-any-idea-what-passports-are-for/#comment-449328
Boy Arthur sure loves asking questions about touching kids huh?
block him is my suggestion. treat online as real life. i avoid and ignore assholes in real life. and do the same online.
He was never caught. Fled Ohio; successfully hid out in adjacent Pennsylvania with Amy Acton’s biological mother until he died.
So because he wasn’t actually found guilty because he fled from justice you presume she was lying?
They were, sort of, until the moment in time when it dawned on them the circumstantial case that Donald Trump may have fucked children at Jeff’s New York City dwellings and offices was not implausible. In one second it went full stop.
Brent at $113 and climbing. War this weekend or right after the election?
Either way…
Do worry, Trump, Walrus, GOP, and democrats will find a way to make things even worse.™
Netanyahu needs a war badly. If he loses the election on Tuesday, his corruption trial will start back up again and he will be convicted.
War could happen this weekend. Could be a false flag attack on Israelis or Americans, provoking Iran to attack Israel, or persuading Trump to attack Iran.
should be
I supported “Carguy” Casey Putsch ) in his primary race against Ramaswamy. I even sent him a $25 contribution even though I do not live in Ohio. Casey got almost 18% of the vote in the primary. Look what Casey says in his endorsement of Amy Acton:
https://x.com/CaseyPutsch/status/2112619323571495336?s=20
Ramaswamy is toast. What a stupid add. Vance stupidly made these comments. He is also toast also as far as his political career. Good riddance.
Ramaswamy is an Indian, isn’t he? And Vance is married to an India lady. It isn’t very long ago that girls were married at twelve in India. I imagine that they are still being married at twelve in lots of Moslem countries. Perhaps you should try to keep a sense of balance. What the American “intellectual” classes do to ordinary citizens under color of law in economics and “education” is just as bad as raping a twelve-year-old girl. You take advantage of the trust of simple people to corrupt and destroy them. And then you have the hide to ask them to pay the loans you fraudulently induced them to take out to pay for it.
What in the absolute F are you talking about? Seriously it makes zero sense.
Old white deluded Aussie with dreams of Epstein island again I suppose. You’re a sick individual.
And here we have Arthur bringing up marrying twelve year olds again. Not a pedophile though, he just really loves talking about how those kids had it coming.
Problem. is, someone is “toast” according to ‘everybody who thinks like me.’ I don’t see that automatically as good sampling methodology. I and my clones turn out to be a pretty bad yardstick for lots of things.
Perhaps we can all get lucky and Ramaswamy can move to another country. Russia maybe? Argentina?
Argentina at Millei’s side would be perfect. Can we send Thiel too? But only if we can keep Bessent from bailing them out.
Send Musk and the Palantir and Anduril CEOs too while you’re at it. All of these ‘upstarts’ that are trying to disrupt are really just kleptocracies in the making.
Electric gloves, robot dogs, tracker cameras for you. Maybe it interprets our screeds here as thought crime. Imagine revocation of citizenship by instant automated algorithmic “civil proceeding” finding some abstruse logical aiding and abetting of enemies, as defined by Orange Guy.
millei is apparently moving to brooklyn when he is done with politics. he joined the lubavitch hasidic jews of my old hood, crown heights, brooklyn. i am not joking. this seems to be what he has indicated. maybe it’s total BS. he’s a whack job and con man and grifter
He could join the Russian army and become a war hero on the front lines in Ukraine.
Has anyone seen businesswoman? Jojo? Stu-pid? Arthur “little hookers” Orwell?
Weird how the biggest pedophile defenders are scarce here huh?
They are all working on Ramasleazy’s next pedophile TV ad.
A pretty hilarious AI toon of that is here:

Sorry, pal, I didn’t get down this far before I made the comments above. Enjoy!
It takes a real kind of boldness to drag yourself in here and defend diddling kids in the face of all this. Makes me wish people could get their teeth punched in for saying this kid of filth again.
I think he’s beyond diddling kids given his advanced age, so maybe he’s just satisfying himself trolling boards like this.
Arthur is unfortunately alive and kicking above. Stu has been popping in and out recently too but much quieter. The other trolls are mostly silent.
He has been down voted out of 109 different blogs.
I think JD Vance can forget running for president at this point. Between this, the Epstein files, and not standing firm on the denouncing the attacks on Iran he’s toast. As an independent I’d never vote for him.
Vance has the kind of charm and charisma that could convince people to vote for a Joseph Stalin/ Adolf Hitler ticket, assuming they were on the other half of the ballot from him.
stalin won wars. hitler lost wars. the dumbfuck invaded USSR and found out the hard way how stupid he was. Koba would kicked the fuhrers ass in a street fight, too. not even close. Ramy and Trump and JD…… are pussies with soft hands.
Stalin, Hitler (actual WWI trench guy, gas-wounded in action, also faced live fire in ’23 putsch attempt, also weathered ’44 bomb attack pretty well), and even Putin, could eat any of these guys as an appetizer for breakfast.
I’d hardly call being a mail carrier a “trench guy” but I suppose it’s still more service than Trump or Vance could imagine.
Hitler served in the front lines as a courier. He got gassed which led to his infamous mustache bc he shaved a bigger one to fit into a gas mask.
Not saying anything positive about him, but he did put himself in danger in WW1. And yeah old bone spurs would have shat himself and curled into a ball or died of a heart attack had he switched places with ole Adolph. Vance on the other hand was a fat marine, not sure of how he acquitted himself but he did wear the uniform, and probably developed his affinity for cushions when spent time in the barracks.
Donald was a ww2 war hero i thought. my name is Maga Billy
Dispatch runner was widely considered one of the most hazardous and deadliest jobs an infantryman could have during the First World War. Many infantry veterans of the war considered it a position where you simply expected to be wounded or killed.
A standard infantryman spent a lot of time in a defensive posture: hiding in trenches, manning dugouts, or waiting out bombardments. While they faced horrific danger during over-the-top assaults or enemy shellfire, a significant portion of their time in the trenches was spent enduring the misery of mud, cold, and disease rather than actively dodging bullets. Their survival rate over months of service was statistically higher than high-risk specialists.
A runner’s job only existed when communication lines were severed, which almost always happened precisely when heavy artillery barrages or enemy attacks were tearing the battlefield apart. Whenever a runner was deployed, it meant they had to leave cover and cross open, fire-swept zones.
During the First Battle of Ypres in 1914, Hitler’s regiment went into battle with roughly 3,600 men. After just a few days of intense fighting, only 611 unwounded men remained. Hitler’s specific company shrank from 250 soldiers down to just 42.
Hitler was a veteran of the 1916 Battle of the Somme. Over a million casualties were suffered across both sides. This is where Hitler received his first major injury. In October 1916, a British shell exploded near his dugout, sending a shrapnel fragment into his left thigh. The wound forced him off the front lines for several months while he recovered in a military hospital in Beelitz and Munich.
In the 1917 Battle of Arras, Hitler’s Regiment was heavily engaged in trying to plug the gaps and hold the line against overwhelming British and Commonwealth forces, resulting in massive casualties.
Later in 1917, at the Third Battle of Ypres (Passchendaele), Hitler’s experience was shaped by the nightmarish environment that defines the campaign today: endless mud, drowning craters, and torrential artillery fire. The constant shelling around Ypres had completely pulverized the drainage systems, and when the autumn rains arrived, the battlefield turned into a thick, sucking quagmire. As a dispatch runner, Hitler had to sprint or crawl across this literal sea of mud where wounded men and pack animals could (and some did) literally drown in shell craters if they strayed off the duckboards. Because telephone lines were constantly blown to pieces by British heavy artillery, regimental headquarters relied entirely on runners like Hitler to maintain contact with frontline positions. Operating in the Ypres salient meant moving through relentless counter-battery fire and toxic gas clouds.
On the night of October 13–14, 1918, near the village of Wervicq south of Ypres, British forces launched a mustard gas bombardment. Hitler and his comrades were caught in the gas cloud. He was temporarily blinded and his voice was severely damaged, effectively ending his World War I military service while he was recovering in a hospital in Pasewalk when the armistice was signed in November 1918.
Whereas the Iron Cross Second Class was awarded to around 5.1 million German soldiers, only around 218,000 Iron Cross First Class medals were awarded during the entire war. It was a decoration given mostly to officers and high-ranking NCOs. For a lowly corporal to wear the Iron Cross First Class was a rare exception earned through extreme personal valor and extreme luck in actually surviving. When Hitler was awarded the Iron Cross First Class in August 1918, it came upon the recommendation of his superior officer, Lt. Hugo Guttman (who ironically was Jewish). Gutmann’s recommendation cited Hitler’s overall “cold-blooded courage and exemplary boldness” and his long, reliable track record of delivering vital messages under relentless artillery fire across years of service.
Wait, you seriously can’t be the actual diplomat Victoria Nuland, can you?
Color me skeptical, but your historical knowledge is impressive. As an amateur history buff, this is a very credible dissertation.
There is only one slight probablem with this, though otherwise true: Hitler was a regimental message runner. Not a battalion runner. This meant that he generally stayed with regimental HQ behind the lines, and this shows from the many pictures of him and his squad seemingly behind the lines. His iron cross first class is also evidence of this as they were often handed out to regimental HQ units and other people who had more contact with higher officers.
This isn’t to say he did nothing, but his status as a regimental runner meant he was a lot safer than battalion runners going back to meet him and going all the way to the front. All things considered his unit was posted up pretty well since regimental headquarters was more out of the way of shelling and imminent attack.
Don’t forget Hitler’s talent as a painter.
I think calling him talented there is a bit more of a stretch than calling him a good soldier, ironically. His sense of perspective was terrible and he seemed to have a habit of putting windows on houses incorrectly. He probably could have learned and grown but he got busy doing something far less productive with his life.
of course that is true. life back then was rough. especially wartime like ww1. i was talking and joking that hitler was an idiot and didn’t win a war. he was 0 and 1. stalin kicked his ass on the battlefield. hitler was as stupid as napoleon in warfare. and trump i might add. imagining invading Russia. doesn’t get dumber. AAA rating stupid military men.
And what did he do as VP to stop inflation? Hmm? I recall a certain other VP being hounded about that. What goes around comes around
What did he do as senator to stop the inflation?
Tone-deaf Vivek likes the thrill of being too clever by half.
Ramaswamy never had a political career. So, there is nothing to lose. He is self-styled MAGA and on his way down for good!
Probably the most disgusting and outrageous thing I have seen in ad politics. And JD Vance defending this outrage just shows what kind of utter phony he is.
And it’s time to boost this post to a 3-star Mishelin award. Thank you Mish for being literally the only “public” voice outraged by this inhumanity. I can’t stand these filthy animals and I can’t wait to see them get stomped in the election cycle.
Sadly, I don’t think much will change but I’d rather have rotten apples than rotten pedophiles in government.
good points. however if the epstein tapes and files ever actually see the light of day a ton of blue team and red team leaders and wealthy backers would be in some dungeon somewhere. if we were NOT a nihilist empire of warmongers, that is. reds and blues all love endless warfare. take out a globe and map the us military presence. uniparty warmongers.
JD Vance is as good at assaulting his prospects for POTUS as he is at amorously assaulting couch cushions. What a guy! What a standard bearer for the party!
You can take a man out of Appalachia but you can’t take the Appalachia out of the man.
My understanding is, JD was born in Middletown, Ohio, part of the Cincinnati-Dayton metro area. He allegedly spent summers with relatives in Jackson, Kentucky. He has a law degree from Yale Law School. He was noticed obviously and brought into Peter Thiel’s circle. This reminds me of Dem patronage from promising young people from the fringes, like Bil Clinton and Barrack Obama. So, there are central casting aspects.
To be fair, southeastern Ohio is hella Appalachia, just as we don’t think of Illinois as a “southern” state, but southern Illinois is awful southern.
true. both places.
nothing wrong with appalachia. the people there are just as whore like as most of amerika. look up how jay rockefellar won there. i still believe he spent the most per vote in current dollars of anyone. in us history.
Republicans won’t learn anything unless the get a bloody nose. Even then the AIPAC spell is very strong.
No worries. Lindsey Graham’s sister know almost as much about foreign affairs as Trump does.
Correct. They both know Graham was having foreign affairs in Ukraine.
