Most of us know politicians don't give a rat's [BLEEP] about us, but we all have a vested interest in their policies because they affect us. Some are emotionally vested, caring about personality defects more than policies. The rest of us live in the real world knowing we don't have to like a politician to appreciate their policies.
Plus, it's the off-season are people are bored so they come here to shadowbox each other.
I'm not talking [BLEEP] to him, he's the one who came at me with some dumb assumption because he got triggered for whatever reason at the truth.
I'm telling you all the truth of the matter. You all are brain washed when it comes to politics. Both sides.
All of their policies are bull [BLEEP] and non sense. They're lying to you. Your favorite news/media channel is lying to you. Anything politic related is lying to you and meant to divide us. It's all bull [BLEEP].
To be so emotionally invested into something so corrupt is the problem, yet you guys eat that [BLEEP] up. It's pathetic.
The powers at be do whatever the [BLEEP] they want and will continue to do it no matter what you sheep believe, that's what they want. They control this country and will continue to control it because they can and you sheep blindly follow/allow them to. Again, it doesn't matter what side you blindly follow.
It's literally proven every single election year. Fake ballots, false voting etc. blah blah blah. They know it and the powers at be eat that [BLEEP] up. They're laughing at you while they're cashing in.
I work every day, pay taxes and live a normal life. Does that mean I'm not living in the real world? Or is it because I don't suck the dick of corrupt scumbag politicians, that I'm not living in the real world?
I'm not gonna worry about it.
The media is something else. "Republicans could be overlooking a huge problem with JD Vance" says the headline. But you don't get to see the article unless you subscribe to "Business Insider."
That happens all over the place. "We have critical information that the public needs to know!" We'll tell you if you pay us some money.

Meh, it’s Business Insider. You can get the same story on CNN.

It's like a brothel. Word porn. Media is out here shaking their paper around like some hot piece of [BLEEP] in a short skirt. No thanks! Probably overpriced and full of STD's to begin with. Chlamedia of the eye.

The X link took me right into the article.

If it's still giving you problems, it's possible they give you a few articles free and then start prompting you to pay. The way around that is to clear out your cookies for that website.

Please tell me what is "the huge problem with JD Vance" so I don't have to read the article.

I didn't read all the way through, but the case that was made early in the article was that Vance's Senate race was much closer than other races on that ballot in Ohio that year. Several other Republicans coasted to victory according to the article.
Turns out that he's not a fan of pop tarts..
I'm changing my vote..

One nifty trick that I use to get around paywalls is a plugin that I have (Firefox is my browser) called Tranquility. It basically removes all of the unnecessary crap on the web page and presents just the text.
Second little trick is to copy/paste the headline into Google and follow the link from the search results. Without getting too technical the web server sees the "referring origin" as Google and will allow it. This doesn't always work but it's a quick thing to try.
Final trick is kind of low-level. I don't use Window$ and don't surf much on my phone. A couple of common tools available for Linux (and I believe available with Apple products) are Curl and Wget. You can essentially download the web page and view it locally on your computer.
So far I haven't found a website with a paywall that I can't read.

You either didn't read what I wrote or you lack understanding. Probably a bit of both.
Keep foaming at the mouth though. It's fun to watch someone other than Mikesez make a fool of himself.

Must not be that critical.
As with all others I potentially vote for I don't listen to what they say (present tense) I look at what they've said in the past, I look at bills they introduce(d) or those they support(ed), and their policies.
What I don't do is count on any form of media to tell me anything of use or relevance.
I am just looking into Vance so my opinions are forming based on my research. I do know at the present the choice is Vance vs Harris as VP. As I review Vance the bar is not too high as Harris is on record as being pleased with her job at the border. This will be that case until the Democratic convention. Gonna get interesting...

I'm hoping he has truly changed, he seems to have but at the same time it is easier to do that when it's all talk and nothing you do really matters when democrats have the control.

Really? I didn’t find him boring at all. I enjoyed his speech especially him talking about his grandmother.

Im just now waking up from his speech helping me sleep. I will say he has a heartfelt family story. I will try to keep an open mind for a while.

I just got around to watching his speech. I don't know what makes you say that he is boring. The guy is very well spoken and very obviously intelligent. He also didn't sound like a "typical politician" like somebody like Mike Pence. Perhaps you are a lot younger than I which might be what the difference is in our perception.
