J.D. Vance (w/Ettingermentum)
<p>If you’ve ever experienced the displeasure of thinking for even one second about Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, you have probably observed this poor simulation of “human being” and wondered, “Where the hell did this guy come from and how he is about to be vice president?” Well! Let this week’s guest on <strong>Oppo Research</strong>, polling mystic and posting master Ettingermentum (aka Josh Cohen), takes us through all the impressive ways Vance has failed upwards. Including: The Hillbilly Elegy of it all; his about-face on Trump; him basically winning his Senate seat because Trump is horny for him; and the inevitable 2028 presidential run.</p><br><p>For a full list of our show notes, visit our website at <a href="www.discourseblog.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">discourseblog.com</a>.</p><br><p>***</p><p>Oppo Research credits:</p><p>Host: Jack Mirkinson</p><p>Producer: Aleks Chan</p><p>Engineer, Editor, Art Director: Sam Grasso</p><p>Guest: Ettingermentum [<a href="https://x.com/ettingermentum" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://www.ettingermentum.news/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ettingermentum Newsletter</a>]</p><p><br></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
