"According to multiple sources who spoke to The Daily Beast, Wax allegedly got his hands on the logs and leaked them to Politico as payback against Peter Giunta"a fellow Trump loyalist and the former chair of the New York State Young Republicans"after Wax was snubbed from a Trump photo nearly two years ago.

Yes, really."

This guy is a petty B after Trump's own heart.

Gavin Wax is Chief of Staff in the State Department's Office of Public Diplomacy.

America will take decades to una$$ everything the Trumpf junta has done in less than one year.

Much of the damage is irrecoverable, like trillions of dollars permanently siphoned out of the US economy by the oligarchs, federal careers ruined, destroyed satellites and food stocks, public lands sold off, USAID dismantled, CDC disease surveillance and research slashed, a White House marred with ostentatious modifications, an army of ICE thugs that won't be easily fired, a weakened FBI and CUA, and a permanent database of information on US citizens in the electronic gulag that won't be scrubbed or removed.

Whoever the next non-Republican POTUS is, Zeus help him or her, because they will be taking over a smoldering train-wreck in 2028 or 2032.

... in a Young Republicans group chat ...

And, as it seems to be becoming quite apparent, VP Vance seemed to have an issue with reality when he tried to ascribe these messages to "young boys."

Stated differently, instead of condemning the comments' posts, VP Vance apparently tried to trivialize them as an OK norm among Repubicans.

Why?

#5 | Posted by LampLighter at 2025-10-19 12:18 AM | Reply

Because they are absolutely "normal" Republicans, as far as Vance is concerned,
But consider this: Vance is a self-described, self-confessed, liar.
And darned proud of it.
In other words, they're trash and he's trash, as is the entire party at this point.
Totally s#*tified by Trump, his toadies and enablers.

I notice you condemn the actions and not the beliefs.

The only real reason these guys got fired is because they were stupid about how and where they propagate their hate, and they got caught.

He's referring to Darwin's letters to Hooker. Lumpers and Splitters.

Basically, he's dumbed it down as a way to dismiss people he doesn't agree with.

Which is, ironically, a lumper thing to do.

That was nice of Darwin to write his hookers.

A later use can be found in the title of a 1969 paper "On lumpers and splitters ..." by the medical geneticist Victor McKusick.[4]

Reference to lumpers and splitters in the humanities appeared in a debate in 1975 between J. H. Hexter and Christopher Hill, in the Times Literary Supplement. It followed from Hexter's detailed review of Hill's book Change and Continuity in Seventeenth Century England, in which Hill developed Max Weber's argument that the rise of capitalism was facilitated by Calvinist Puritanism. Hexter objected to Hill's "mining" of sources to find evidence that supported his theories. Hexter argued that Hill plucked quotations from sources in a way that distorted their meaning. Hexter explained this as a mental habit that he called "lumping". According to him, "lumpers" rejected differences and chose to emphasise similarities. Any evidence that did not fit their arguments was ignored as aberrant. Splitters, by contrast, emphasised differences, and resisted simple schemes. While lumpers consistently tried to create coherent patterns, splitters preferred incoherent complexity

Sounds like something one would want to talk to their doctor about. Before they lose their healthcare insurance.

Oneironut is essentially accusing everyone to the left of him seeing patterns that don't exist, while his brilliant ass sees a complex universe.

Sidenote: In 1922, the immortal H.L. Mencken coined the term 'Booboisie.'

BOOBOISIE: Uncultured and uneducated members of the general public.

Mencken modelled the word after the more famous 'bourgeoisie' and pronounced it boob-oi-see.

Condemning the beliefs is implicit in condemning the actions.

Like Trump does with his duplicative and shallow 'condemnations' with this kind of stuff (or worse)? Which, has he even done?

It seems like conservatives are quite explicit amongst themselves when they think they're in private, while in public, their 'condemnation' of such behavior always implied.

The group Young Republicans have no power and will never have power. They are an activist group.

Jay Jones is running for AG of Virginia and has endorsements from several Democrats.

" They are an activist group."

And their "activities", if they had their way, would be to torture and incinerate their political enemies. According to their own words.

Do you ever stop to think about what your vote is enabling?

As usual you ask for him to renounce some anon group, but you can't renounce someone running for office explicitly wanting his opponents children to be killed.

Are you REALLY sure you two want to play this game?

We will keep this JUST to candidates, those in government positions, and those in GOP leadership positions...or the list gets WAY too long.

We could compare this to the GOP governor candidate IN THE SAME STATE calling for the murder of women who get abortions.
We could compare this to 2nd Amendment remedies the GOP is fond of calling for.
We could compare this to Fox News hosts, Steve Bannon, Elon Musk, Matt Walsh, Libs of TikTok, Stephen Miller, etc. etc. etc. saying we are at war with the Left after Kirk died or we need to avenge him.
We could compare this to Solomon Pea ACTUALLY SHOOTING UP people's homes for disagreeing with him.
We could compare this to Fox News calling for the murder of homeless people.
We could compare this to Republican state Rep. John Gillette just called for execution of a Dem Congresswoman for urging Trump protests.
We could compare this to Trump literally calling for violence against Dems time and again.
We could compare this to CHARLIE FUCKING KIRK calling for Biden to be executed.
We could compare this to the Young Republicans calling for killing opponents and Jews.
We could compare this to Trump and Republicans causing J6ers to storm the capital to murder Pence and Pelosi and other Dems.
We could compare this to CPAC calling for an even bigger but actually successful rerun of January 6.

You voted for the Nazi Pedo Party. You are Nazi Pedos or Nazi Pedo Supporters. No whataboutism is going to change that.
