It's not that he thought Vance was better. It's that he thought Biden was running such a weak campaign that it didn't matter who he picked as VP and he wanted the Thiel connection (and money) that Vance brings.
You've had it too easy thus far, frankly, blaming this son of your city on an entirely different country. It's not slander if it's the truth.
Steven Crowder was born in Detroit! Stop the slander!

The USSC has total editorial control over the US constitution and zero accountability. If they had it on their mind to mess with the election they can do so regardless of what happens here.
Great news. I use this site far more than I used Netflix before I cancelled that service so I consider a monthly donation money well spent.
The US is a representative democracy. Republic just means no monarch, so sure, it's that, but that doesn't actually say much about how it's government functions. It's governmental functions are carried out by representatives voted on in elections, thus democracy.
Post debate polls have had Harris up on Biden in swing states. Could she win? Maybe, maybe not. But it looks like she'd at least lose less badly than Biden. His debate performance was a death blow.
JB Pritzker, Gretchen Whitmer, perhaps Gavin Newsom. Even Kamala Harris would have a better chance than Biden. Next to no one is voting Democratic because of Biden, people are voting against Trump. You could swap in literally anyone who isn't 90% corpse and get at least as good a result, and almost certainly better. This idea that people would be turned off the Democrats because Joe Biden wasn't the candidate is a joke and I don't understand why anyone would be under the impression.
This guy has been in prison for decades for something I can walk down the street and buy in a store, legally. My country hasn't fallen apart since that was made reality back in 2018. Meanwhile, the top justices of the legal system that put this guy behind bars are openly taking bribes to destroy the system they preside over, yet are practically untouchable. Get your shit together, USA.
Thanks for the notice and also for keeping this whole enterprise functional.
I suspect it has to do with being a sort of household appliance. Similar to the fridge, the TV, the bathtub, etc. People think about it in that sense most frequently and it becomes the common parlance.
Alongside banners commemorating missing and murdered Indigenous women and the victims of Canada’s residential school system, Confederate flags flap gently in the wind.
Wow, I hate everything about that.
With a little research these culture vultures could have used an actual local "rebel" flag, this one:
But of course they appropriate a white supremacist flag from American history.
You are putting the responsibility for those murders entirely on Hamas rather than the government currently perpetrating them, thus justifying that government's actions. You could have just as easily made your opening comment, "Man, if only Israel cared about international law." Please stop insulting my intelligence.
You are literally justifying their actions. Justifying the murder of well over 30 thousand.
"Mr. President, the terrorists have taken hostages. What should we do?" "Bomb the building." -A psychopath
Strange take. Presumably if Israel was replaced with a non-ethnostate, Jewish citizens of that state would get the same rights and treatment as every other citizen.
