Vice President JD Vance’s Bluesky account was suspended within minutes of him joining the platform. His posts criticized medical treatments for transgender youth and claimed pharmaceutical influence over healthcare decisions.

Says can’t trust experts because they are clouded by ideology and bribed by industry quotes an judicial expert who’s entire job is to inject right wing ideology into the judicial branch while being motivated by bribes.

Stay classy, MAGA. You don't give two shits about your country, you actually did steal an election, and the backwash is coming.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

Did they steal an election ? Or did they still two elections ?

What a pos. nobody is "pushing" these medicines on kids. it's ultimately the kid's decision about whether they want these medications or not and I'm not aware of any cases to the contrary. also these medications have been used for literal decades so how can they be experimental? how do you expect people to trust you when you lie so blatantly? glad he got banned.

Happy Pride Month ❤️

Make a new account, immediately start spewing unsubstantiated conspiracy theories, get banned

no thanks.

he's got a face only a couch could fuck.

I know several brick walls that would love to fuck his face.

The biggest delusion in modern society is thinking that a Twitter-like social media network is "the place to go for common sense political discussion and analysis".

I keep hearing the media repeat this bullshit. Twitter is not and never was the "public square". It's a place for morons to be morons and heart each other for being morons.

Makes me wonder if the actual public squares, sans idealization, were also a place for morons to be morons and heart each other for being morons.

It's like having an argument in a club but in the club people may reconsider what you had to say upon sobering up

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

The thing with his argument is that I just struggle to imagine a scenario in which the experts and affected agree and we're better off listening to judges, lawyers, and politicians instead.

There's no reasonable argument from the avenues I'd listen to those groups (such as appeal to fundamental freedoms, rights of the individual, etc) where the position should be to bar these people from receiving treatment they want against expert recommendations.

In short, Mr Vance demonstrates the intellectual rigor I've come to associate with the denizens of Middletown Ohio, and the firm belief in one's own right to be the arbiter of everyone else's life I've come to associate with his ivy league education and tech background.

This is a man who argued with the pope about catholic doctrine a few years after converting and I honestly can't make up something more exaggerated than that

[–] [email protected] 11 points 12 hours ago

And this is the point where he playbooks "i was just asking questions i was just being reasonable why are you so mean unreasonable leftist echo chamber etcetc"

Which only works when people let it. A swift "you started ranting crazy bullshit" is what is needed here.

Imagine thinking that one Clarence Thomas is less corrupt than thousands of doctors.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Coming from Vance, I like how the logic underlying the statements presumes a profit motive undermines the result.

He’s not wrong about medical companies influencing patient care. He’s just wrong about who and why.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

Exactly. Why would they give patients long out of patent meds that aren't even habit forming for this? Nah, if you want to make money with medicine you gotta go the Sackler route. Every trans person I know's HRT brand of choice is "generic please"

"Anyway, want a 6 months supply of Vicodin?" -The doctors he should actually be worried about.

Apparently, they reinstated it saying they just wanted to confirm it was really him before fully activating it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 12 hours ago

I was generally curious why posting that would get him banned. It's def contrary to popular opinions on the platform but doesn't violate any rules.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 17 hours ago

Corpos will never let you down. Only throw you there.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago

That is one stupid sonofabitch.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 17 hours ago

be me

young

want to have long hair

such a thing is not allowed because i cannot consent to it

also my opinion is probably bought by big shampoo

[–] [email protected] 24 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't he happy with his Truth Social account?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 18 hours ago

You can't Own The Libs from over there

[–] [email protected] 14 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

The account was banned, and then reinstated after being verified.

His first posts didn't get him banned.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

It probably didn't do any favours opening up immediately with obvious troll bait.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 17 hours ago

I hope his dick rots off, just so he can get to experience gender-affirming care firsthand.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Those posts read like chatgpt.

Simple hack for a turing test:

"a screenshot from clearsky showing jd vance's account as the most blocked in 24 hours on bluesky"

it's going well.

also lol'ing at the fact that he's jd-vance-1 because jd-vance was taken by a parody account which has a big banner reading "I did not fuck a couch".
