Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Don't forget that weird sofa dude was born as James Donald Bowman, and JD Vance is his preferred name.
Keep that in mind when he attacks people with preferred names and deadnames trans folks.
You mean, Shay D Vance?
shadynasty's
I too, enjoy calling him shady vance
From someone who isn't from the Anglo world, it's fucking weird how you guys never use your given name and you can use your preferred name on official paper, it also made my old job a freaking pain.
is jd vance his legal name?
Yes, because he legally changed it. He was born James Donald Bowman and was later James David Hamel before the James David Vance he is today.
There has to be something he's running away from. That's weird! Two name changes? I look at my name and don't think twice about it. I could be called Doughnut Trump and probably live out my life. I wouldn't go ask a judge to please change my name to Jason Markonovic and then then have a change of heart and call my self Duke Salamantis. The fact that he did that is just weird and he should come forward and explain it.
From what I read, the first time was because Donald Bowman was his birth father's name. When his mother remarried, he took a random D name to keep the same initial and his stepfather's last name. Finally, he chose Vance in honor of his grandmother who raised him. He has changed personalities wildly over the years as well. Borderline Personality Disorder. perhaps?
That's not how bpd works lol
No, I don't think he actually has it. But it is one of the first things that came to mind when I read about his name and personality changes over the years.
I have bpd, i get it lol
He does whatever he thinks will get him further. There was an interview that surfaced where he was talking about Thiel recognizing him as someone who will do anything for anyone if it gets him ahead
It's his biological name.
What was the couch fucker born with a tatoo of its name on its back?
