New York Times…pffft
At least he has a soul to sell
What are Joe and Hunter selling?
You’re 100% correct.
“Contrasted with Kamala, who has no soul ...” Oh, come on. Apparently you don’t remember, “Fweedom” and the little girl on the integration school bus. She has been rock solid on her core beliefs all her life ... oh, wait ... never mind.
Hey NYT, President Trump just changed hi VP pick to me.
Do me, now! Do me!
I wasn’t aware you could sell your soul more than once?
If they’re a republican, I judge them by how much they’re hated by the Republican establishment.
When it comes to the media, it’s a little trickier. Many times they’ll attack a republican just so that conservative voters will rally to their defense.
This was the case with Dan Crenshaw and Ron DeSantis.....”if the media doesn’t like them, then they must be good”.
The first time I ever heard of Crenshaw was some late night host making fun of his eye patch before he even won his first election..... “Hey, he’s a war hero, don’t you mock him. He lost that eye fighting for his country. I don’t know much about this Crenshaw guy, but if the media is making fun of his eye patch, then I think I like him.”
I don’t think this is the case with Vance. I think he terrifies all the right people for all the right reasons. Just sayin’ that the media knows how to get us conservatives to rally behind somebody, and we have to be really cautious of their game.
The media went from hating on DeSantis to “Hey Trumpers, don’t you like this guy better?” faster than Reggie Miller could get off a jump shot. And looking back, I think the whole portrayal of Dubya as a village idiot, was just a way to get Republican voters to feel something for that soulless piece of evil vermin.
Where is the Vance is Hitler line?
New York Slimes - a well earned alias.
Exactly.
It certainly appears he has all the right enemies.
Believe it or not, the NYT was once a pretty good newspaper. I had a subscription way back in the 1960’s. Delivered to my door everyday. Gave me a good rundown of what was going on in the U.S. and the rest of the world.
DONALD TRUMP JR: "I love this story. And then, he actually started to say, 'never Trump', because, like, he didn't have any information, but he also was the guy who didn't just say 'Okay, well, I'm just gonna accept Trump now and roll with it' he was like: 'I was wrong. I did not think that the brash guy from New York was gonna fight for X-Y-Z, I didn't think he was going to, like...I was wrong. I bought into the Media narrative' and he became, like a champion of the 'America First', of the MAGA cause, and just articulates it so well...so, we became friends, like I was, but I was crushed I love him, I was like, he's a Never Trump? I just couldn't even believe it. But, but it wasn't that he just 'came to terms' with it, like, he was just, like, 'I was wrong.' and from that point on, he just started fighting for all of the things that we believe in, so I, you know, I was really passionate about that. I was so passionate about having a guy that's young, that can take that mantle of "America First", not go back to that Neo-Con bullshit, where, you know, we haven't been in a war in 3 minutes, let's make sure we spend four trillion dollars and mortgage our children's future, you know, ah, what the Hell. I don't want it to end in four years after my father's done, right? I want that to be Conservatism going forward, not a reversion back to the stuff that has failed us and doesn't represent the people across the country, but it plays great in The Swamp. It's a big deal."

NOTE: I tried to be as accurate as I could in the transcription of that segment, but there may be some minor mistakes here and there.)
So, when I saw people posting those quotes over and over again here on Free Republic (I had never heard them before) I had to wonder, because nobody ever had the dates associated with those quotes. They made it all sound like he said them last month, and only just changed his tune to get a job in the administration. So, those quotes look like they were made before Trump was elected in 2016.
When Trump was running, right up to his nomination, I couldn't really decide how seriously to take him. I didn't know much about him. At the time, if someone had asked me, I would have said "Trump was a rich New York real estate guy with funny hair who is into casinos and UFC, who had a television show that featured him telling people "You're Fired!" And that would have been the extent of it. I hadn't watched television for several decades, wasn't into pop culture, so that was it. That was all I knew. But when he was nominated, I took to him because...well, I wasn't going to pull the lever for Hillary Clinton, right?
So, after he came into office, the thing that made me sit straight up in my ideological chair was on June 1, 2017, in a globally televised speech from the White House Rose Garden, he simply withdrew from The Paris Climate Accord. With my own ears and eyes, I saw an American President actually put America first, and said (this is an exact quote):
The agreement is a massive redistribution of United States wealth to other countries...
You can read the amazing speech, all of it, right here:

Then, on December 6, 2017, he announced that we were going to move our Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. I had heard that for years, and every President said they were going to do it, but nobody ever did, because the world would explode into flames, everyone was sure about that.
But Trump did it. And you know what? The world didn't burst into flames. There wasn't even a peep.
The overriding point I make is, there were (and still are) many people who were not sure who or what Trump really is. But if I am going to make a judgement, I will do it on actions, and not words. And while it is impossible to argue the statistics of what he did for the economy, it was those two things in particular that sold me.
And I think those same things might have sold J.D. Vance as well.
Does she have pictures of her on the segregation bus?
The NYT reached diseased stool sample status way before the
turn of the century. It’s merely ripened over time.
A writer at the NYT accuses anyone else of selling their soul?
Absurd nonsense.
There are a whole lot of “Conservatives” who doubted and mistrusted Trump. As they watch him in office they grew to like him and trust he was on their side
That a rational adult grown up response. Learn and gRow
Eddy at the NY Times however, is the perfect example of a infantile mind. He was indoctrinated into his political world view by either family or University and has mindless clung to that political bigotry despite the clear, overwhelming evidence of what a total disaster the Biden Regime has been for working class Americans.
Ed us a mindless political bigot and an intellectually infantile child.
Eddy. Grow up finally and start thinking for one time in your life. Stop mindlessly clinging to your “Blue no matter who” idiocy
At the time Vance said that, he was compeating for votes. NOW, he’s interested in wresting control of the Republic away from Democrats. Seems pretty clear to me!
Harry Truman retired with Social Security and a Captain’s pension from his service with the Guard. No Presidential Retirement back then...
1. I was Pres Trump when he came down the escalator. The country does not need career politicians or lawyers turned politician anymore.
One of the most disgusting things I saw during his term and the 2020 election was the number of ‘Republican’ politicians, at the local-state-federal levels, so complicit in the obvious fraud and their complete indifference to the Republican voters that put all of them in their respective positions.
2. I will jump for joy and do cartwheels and pop bottles if Vance is legit MAGA.
I’m at point where I don’t trust damn near anyone associated with Congress.
For me the tell will be how they handle all the illegals and who’s going to be responsible. If it’s Vance, I pray to God that he does a better than traitorous Pence did when he was supposed to deal with Fauci and Covid.
As I understand it, there are no periods in JD.
