Bit spoiled by "forward", eh Big RR?

But stolen all the same.

A snarky read but worth a look:

Welcome to the Art of the Deal of the Hillbilly.

Trump for much of his career was alternately mocked, admired and amplified by New York’s liberal media. Like Vance, he also peddled what I think of as crappy prosperity populism. (Here we might ask whether all prosperity populism is crappy!) Crappy prosperity populism is the claim that all success is the result of an individual’s gifts and efforts, and anyone who tries hard can make it. It’s also the faith that this achievement is best measured by dollars and the ability to enter the highest reaches of society.

Finally, it’s a contempt for the poor—in Vance’s case, his own family members, who he blames for their condition.

Oh and this one's even better - even got the cat ladies

“Cat lady” is an extremely mediocre insult. It’s nothing short of moronic to disparage someone who loves their cat by calling them a person who loves cats (and before you can ask, yes, I do have a cat). Besides, Vance would be lucky to be associated with a furry little creature; a lot of people still associate him with that time he said he didn’t give a shit about Ukraine.

JD Vance is author of the Forward
That's odd; I'm a subscriber, and I've never seen his byline.
GAH!

Ah! Wrong language. It should be in German Vorwärts
In 1923, Vorwärts lost a libel trial brought by Adolf Hitler, and was ordered to pay him 6,000,000 marks. The paper had claimed Hitler was financed by "American Jews and Henry Ford"
It all comes together now eh?

Sigh.

I was suggesting that the original meme was somewhat spoiled by spelling "foreword" incorrectly as 'Forward' (and with a capital F). I thought you'd appreciate my eagle-eyed anal correction fetish

Alien (1979) is a movie where nobody listens to a smart woman, and they all die except for the smart woman and her cat.

Look, I don't know whether JD Vance had sex with a couch. And frankly, it's none of my business, nor is it the state's business to tell a man what he can and can't do with his furniture. Vance deserves the right to privacy in his intimate relations and as long as he's not hurting anyone else I will defend his right to do as he pleases in his own home, regardless of whether it involves a sofa, a davenport, a loveseat, a recliner, a chaise longue, an ottoman ....
GAH!

'Couchophilia' is a disease. JD Vance has long suffered from it and has sought treatment. We suggest spraying with Scotchguard (the couch, not Mr Vance).
