      Just a warning that link straight downloads the file. It is just a PDF but if you’re a security minded person avoid clicking.

        Thanks, had Kagi summarize it:

        Title: J_D_V_R.pdf

        • J.D. Vance’s views on Donald Trump and the Republican party have shifted over time, from initial skepticism to active support of Trump’s policies and 2020 re-election.
        • Vance has taken a range of controversial positions on cultural and political issues, including criticizing the Republican party’s support for free trade, opposing Trump’s proposed travel ban, and warning about the GOP healthcare bill’s impact on Trump’s own voters.
        • Vance has praised Trump’s policies but also warned that the president’s antagonistic style could hurt the Republican party in the long run if he loses some of his base.
        • Vance has been critical of the Republican party’s ties to corporate interests and has called for the party to better address the concerns of working-class voters.
        • Vance has been accused of echoing white nationalist rhetoric around declining fertility rates in the U.S.
        • Vance faced backlash for comments suggesting women should stay in violent marriages for the sake of their children.
        • Vance was initially skeptical of Trump during the 2016 campaign, indicating he believed the women who accused Trump of sexual assault.
        • Vance has been critical of the Iraq War and Jeb Bush’s defense of it, but has also supported a negotiated peace between Russia and Ukraine.
        • Vance has praised Brett Kavanaugh’s teaching abilities and predicted he would be a good Supreme Court justice.
        • Vance has shifted his political views over time, from more moderate Republican and Democratic tendencies to actively supporting Trump’s policies and 2020 re-election.

    I can’t believe plutocrats that hate unions are against a progressive party. Also, I have never read one thing about American history except WWII porn where they pretend we were involved the whole time.

    I got as far as Tom Cotton. Everything else in that article is just going to be a waste of time to read.

    The man is without ethics or morals.

      Tom Cotton is an embarrassment to the State of Arkansas and we did not need anymore help in that arena.

    If you think this is a partisan issue you are woefully naive to the nature of those people who seek the sorts of powers that big tech promises.

      It’s not a Dem/Rep issue nearly so much as it is an Insider/Outsider issue.

      “Cross us and your constituents will get a leak of your AI generated nudes” style intimidation. Great for getting rid of pesky populists and regulators and people who give a shit about climate change.
