  1. there is no doubt in my mind he is a closet gay, he probably also has had relations with his top donor who clearly uses him as a puppet in more than 1 way.

  2. Sings: “Oh, what can you do when he’s dressed in drag…”

    Apologies to Depeche Mode.

  5. Dude tried the eyeliner on as a joke and loved it enough to keep using it to this day. Gotta admire someone who is comfortable wearing makeup like his Orange friend

  6. This is drab, not drag. Calling it “drag” is an insult to drag queens

  10. Give him a call RuPaul. I think we have our next drag race contestant.

  12. What’s funny is that we’d give no fucks at all if he wasn’t such a hateful hypocrite

  13. But Walz abandoned his unit after 24 years, which was decades ago!!!

  14. Ok, now _that_ is some serious eyeliner. He either had some help putting that on, or he had some practice.

  15. He has to be a plant. There is just no way anybody, even a republican, would be so stupid as to approve this guy to run, money involved or not.

  18. This is all just a prelude to Vance releasing his Only Fans account (Only Couches?)

    Gotta get Daddy Trump that money somehow

  19. this is not drag.
    this is bad frat boy cross-dressing.
    drag is an art

    bleach blond bad built something something

  21. This is like, *exactly* what happened with Madison Cawthorne. I might have to go find my tinfoil hat again

  22. I suspect, if there even is a response, that Vance will say he did it when he was young and didn’t know any better. He’s repented and now knows the horror and awful things that doing drag entails. Which is why he’s fighting to hard against it now.

  23. There must be a time traveling anti trump transgendered person who went back in time, tricked JD Vance into dressing in drag, took these pictures and sent them to the future. It’s the only explanation for this!!!

  24. JD Vance is getting Madison Cawthorn’d. They’re trying to get him to drop out

  25. Oh no, JD was Kitara Ravash all along! M. Night got us again!

  26. It appears he’s “very heavy into transgender”

  28. This guy is the gift that keeps on giving. He’s blowing up all the talking points from the past few years. He’s married to an immigrant minority, and he’s got pics in drag. Why trump chose him is completely baffling. Nothing about him as a pick looked like a win.

  29. GOP is planting these to push him off the ticket.

    Follow me for more conspiracy theories.

  30. It’s more than likely that this is a photo from some stupid long-ago Halloween party. It’s not drag, it’s a costume.

    But, after 9 years of hate speech, racism, the demonization of the LGBTQ2S+ community, accusing everyone and their dog of grooming children and the NON STOP LYING, I don’t give a rat’s ass about giving anyone in the Trump Cult the benefit of the doubt.

    As long as they insist that Michelle Obama is a man, or the Paul Pelosi’s attacker was his lover, or any of the countless lies spewed about Harris and Walz, I will laugh about Vance’s dirty sofa loving ways, and his fondness for bad drag.

  31. Havent seen anyone else say it so I’m gonna. He looks a little gay here.

  33. Oof, thing is, the TONE is really different in this photo too. First photo just looked like a Halloween photo, like maybe he lost a bet or dressed up and was being silly and someone snapped a photo. Truly nothing of note if not for the GOP making any sort of gender exploration into a moral panic issue.

    But this one? This one leads me to believe the dress up may have been *actual* gender exploration, not just a lost bet or a Halloween costume. Why? He’s not smiling.

    If it was a lost bet or a costume, these photos would probably have him smiling or looking bashful or exasperated at the camera, for example. But this photo? This photo looks sincere. This looks like someone with not a lot of resources (see the cheap Halloween wig) trying out a bit of glamour, exploring ideas of beauty which btw, my heart absolutely goes out to and I would vigorously defend this person from mockery on those grounds.

    Even if the conclusion was that he’s cis and straight, there’s no harm and a lot of good that comes from this sort of exploration. And also consider, Vance isn’t conventionally attractive and certainly wasn’t then either, so my heart really goes out to someone who wants to explore feeling “pretty” and what that means for them.

    Vance isn’t smiling in this because he’s trying to look pretty. These are exploratory photos, there’s no smiling, to silliness, the blond wig is awful but that’s no fault of someone who doesn’t have a lot of money or access. Those clothes look borrowed too, likely from a friend, lending further to the sense of sincere experimentation rather than a Halloween costume (with a Halloween costume, it’s more likely you’d wear a cocktail dress or something with a lower neckline, y’know?). This is Vance exploring what Girl Vance would look like and exploring feminine beauty.

    *Sigh* Again, apologies for the wall of text, but I would have a lot of sympathy for this person and what I think this photo was intended for, a private moment of self exploration and reflection, if not for all the heinous shit and hypocrisy coming out of the GOP he props up right now.

    Edit for spelling/grammar

  34. In itself, that isn’t a problem. Who cares? The hypocrisy is the problem.
