Soviet or post-Soviet, Vance’s best bud.
UD lately has featured preppy upbeat mugshots, but here’s one that’s simply …vintage. Our man hails from the barrens of Stanton Nebraska. He likes to get shitfaced, leave his feloniously owned shotgun at home, mount his ATV, and bomb through local streets.
[A] four-wheeler was observed being operated recklessly at high speeds and running multiple stop signs near the Stanton County courthouse.
Sheriff Mike Unger, who was on foot in the area, attempted to stop the four-wheeler near 7th and Jackpine, but the driver failed to do so and nearly struck the Sheriff as he accelerated away from the residential area at 70 to 80 mile an hour estimated speeds.
… [The charges are] speeding, multiple stop sign and ATV violations, willful reckless driving, and driving while intoxicated-2nd offense. He was also charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm after … a search warrant at his residence turned up a shotgun and ammunition.
Somebody forgot to smile!
12News asked [Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom] Horne on Thursday whether he believes [Bridget] O’Brien should be disqualified as an authorized vendor, given her history of alleged Medicaid fraud, nonpayment of contractors, dog-napping, and alleged SBA loan fraud.
“Ms. O’Brien is entitled to her day in court,” Horne said in a written statement.
UD won’t even let herself go there!
“He was the worst choice of all the options. It was so bad I didn’t even think it was possible,” one House Republican said. “Anti-Ukraine, more of a populist. He adds nothing to the Trump ticket. He energizes the same people that love Trump.”
“I think if you were to ask many people around this building, 9 out of 10 on our side would say he’s the wrong pick,” a second House Republican said. “He’s the only person who can do serious damage.”
A third House Republican — who said “there is major dissension” to Vance in the conference — argued that if Trump falls short to Vice President Harris in November, Trump’s vice presidential selection will be to blame.
“The prevailing sentiment is if Trump loses, [it’s] because of this prick,” the lawmaker said. “It doesn’t help.”

To stomp all over thee.
He opposes no-fault divorce, including those who do so to leave abusive marriages. He’s compared abortion to slavery, supports a national abortion ban and rejects exceptions for rape – “Two wrongs don’t make a right,” he said. He called women without children “miserable cat ladies” and villified working moms as bad parents who want to “shunt their kids into crap day care so they can enjoy more ‘freedom.’” For him, universal child care amounts to “class war against normal people.”

A comment in the NYT, from a Californian.
I have tried to speak to many [homeless] where I live and believe they break down into 3 or 4 categories. The largest proportion (maybe 2/3rds) are mentally ill, many severely so. Many will not move into housing of their own volition even if offered. They enjoy living on the beach. Second group are down on their luck, or addicted to drugs and alcohol. Some live in cars, others wander the streets and many act erratically getting in everyday people’s faces, and sometimes with violence. In my opinion there needs to be large government owned property with the resources to house and take care of folks that will not get better, provide drug and alcohol treatment, and give training for jobs etc.
