The elite have their own power structure and these losers aren’t getting the recognition they think they deserve

This is the pattern for these sad, pathetic, little men. They claim not to want the approval of the coastal liberal elites. Yet, they are desperate to be acknowledged as geniuses or talented by the same “coastal liberal elites” they claim to detest. Because they secretly know that “coastal liberal elites” do have the…

I watched the movie because of the lead actors. OH MY the scene chewing. Over the top. There were so many themes to explore and instead you get - as you put it - “Oscar grabs” instead of insight. I haven’t read the book. It never appealed to me. My grandparents were very poor farming folks, so I’ve got stories of my…

Fragile male ego syndrome at its finest.

Don’t forget Kanye’s march into the right-wing funhouse can be traced to Obama calling him a jackass.

As my third act as CEO, I will contradict my stated motivation of protecting free speech by charging people, exposing once and for all that sheer pettiness and impulsivity motivated me to blow $44 billion and I'm desperately trying to salvage this mistake.

Glen Close? ...butt no cigar?

So this is his version of Trump running for president because Gwen Stefani made more money on TV than him. Fucking great. 'Murica's morons sure know how to pick 'em. 

So Vance ran because of a bad review. Musk bought Twitter because people mean Tweeted at him and trump ran because Obama joked about him at the correspondent’s dinner.

And they say women are bad leaders because we’re prone to drama and irrational behavior...

lol. The narrow valley passed the spell checker so Kady ran with it.

Another sterling living example from the party of personal responsibility. 

Yep. And it’s a loooong Slate article. I admit, I didn’t finish it after I came to the same conclusion you did. My secondary takeaway was that Vance simply figured out that one con (speaking gigs from Hillbilly Elegy) wasn’t as lucrative or long-lasting as another (MAGA chud) was likely to be. So he switched gears.…

Here’s the TL;DR of the Slate article, to save everyone time: Vance is a lost little boy looking for daddy.

Glen Close?

It’s not enough for the likes of J.D., Ted Cruz, Trump, and Musk to have more status and money than other people: they want to belong and be accepted by fellow “elites.” The elite have their own power structure and these losers aren’t getting the recognition they think they deserve so they lash out by playing games…

Yeah, he could simply have stopped at “I’m not a physician....” and then STFU.  

Yeah, but look at Serena Williams. One of the greatest athletes in recorded history and she very nearly died in childbirth. This politician is talking out of his ass with no nuance.

Except you’re likely not 100% wrong with that one.

Oh! I like this game!
