@georgetakei It would be absolutely hilarious if Vance had to do a tie-breaking vote in the Senate and it was ruled invalid because his documents don't match his birth name.
Also, since this administration likes to deadname people, does this mean we are required to call him Jim Bowman from now on?
Interesting reading
When it comes to Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance’s name, it’s complicated. The senator from Ohio introduced himself to the world in 2016, when he published his bestselling memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy,” under the name J.D. Vance, with periods between the initials for James David. Vance explained it wasn't the first iteration of his name. Over the course of his 39 years, Vance’s first, middle and last names have all been altered. As Vance is being introduced to voters across the country as Donald Trump’s running mate, his name has been the source of questions, including why he no longer uses periods in JD.
He changed his name to reflect his chosen identity and he wants to choose a whole bunch of people's names for them? Has he queried their chosen identities first? Seems a bit hypocritical
@georgetakei That’s actually the sole idea behind #conservatism, expressed perfectly in #wilhoitslaw:
”Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition: There needs to be an in-group which the law protects but does not bind, and an out-group which the law binds but does not protect.”
@georgetakei What's his ID say? That would be the deciding factor I think. You can ask people to call you any damn thing you want.
People that can should get your passport asap. Even if you aren't ever leaving--it bypasses all this bullshit. A passport is proof of citizenship.
@georgetakei LOL. Come to think of it, the PRC-installed Hong Kong regime had a #2 "Donald Bowguy" back in its late heyday (Before Xi Jinping), but he wasn't a proper CCP cadre (i.e. a psycho like they all are now) so he got sacked over his corruption. 😊
