What source do you have for the statement that Peter Thiel funded his law school expenses?

And BTW, using the "funded" implies that Thiel provided funds "during" the time he was attending Yale.

As I understand it, Vance worked for Sidley Austin before joining Thiel's firm Mithril Capital on the West Coast. It is possible that Mithril offer to pay off his college loans as a condition of employment.

Biden and Trump have raised the acceptable age for a President. There aren’t very many VP candidates who could be caretakers.

Thank you. He mentioned his “mamaw” in his speech the other night. She sounds like she was quite a woman.

If you look up DJT’s height, sometimes he is 5’11”.

Thank you. It’s not some contrived name then. Family name. I like it.

Got it. I didn’t see the speech. A great grandparent can make a huge difference. I read Clarence Thomas’ book, and his grandfather made all the difference.

> wanted him to pick Larry Donald. I wasn’t crazy about Vance switching back and forth with what he thought was the prevailing winds. He went from a never Trump to pro Trump. I guess we will find out who he really is.<

Not familiar with Larry Donald. Have to check him out.

Thank you, Rdct29

To: DPMD

No doubt.. he is younger and articulate..and possibly Presidential material

Therefore he must be destroyed
I’m guessing will get the most negative attention of any VP in the history of America.
Especially if he is well liked.

My mother did that to me. I was on my third last name (her fifth) by the fifth grade. Finally went back to birth name my freshman year. She married the last time after I graduated high school.

To: bort

a cynical Nixon, not a Reagan.

“I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he’s America’s Hitler,” Vance texted to his room-mate in 2016 (who is now a Dem state representative in the South).

But close enough to show the quote is grossly mischaracterized.

All of these are from 2016, before Trump actually gained his office and began to perform.

I totally agree. I know a few people whose grandparents were very influential in their lives, often at critical moments. I’m glad JD had a good one.

I'm not sure why you aimed that comment at me. I have no issue with Vance being skeptical of Trump until experiencing his actual performance as President.
