    There’s absolutely no proof that J.D. Vance uses burnt monkey testicles as anal beads while making love to his chaiselongue. Reports of him heating them up in a red Le Creuset cast iron skillet before insertion are pure speculation.

      I am a vegan and applaud your moral consistency. News articles like this are full of fake outrage by people who support the animal ag industry that commits worse crimes at massively larger scales every single day. In regards to animal welfare this guy and the puppy killer are only very marginally worse than anyone else.

      edit: obligatory downvotes by people who want to be mad at animal abuse while supporting animal abuse.

      More that we ought to treat the animals humanely in the process, and limit animal testing to situations where it’s a medication that really benefits people, and not a cosmetic.

      It’s hard to see how an action which results in burned monkey testicles is consistent with that.

    AmplifyBio should rebrand to AmplifyCruelty.

    Also, we’re Satan-hybrids now? That’s awesome! Coolest thing they’ve called us yet.

    Vance’s investment in Rumble is more on-brand. That company hosts insidious films by anti-vaxxers, who’ve spread the conspiracy theory that Covid is not a respiratory virus, but actually snake venom added to municipal water, and that those pushing mRNA Covid vaccines want to make you “a hybrid of Satan.”

            I see here you’ve requested assignment as a Baron of Hell. Unfortunately, we do not have any of those positions open at this time. I am able to offer you the options of Lost Soul or Generic Zombie. Productive demons will be considered for promotion to Revenant.

    Seems like Trump’s people didn’t do any digging to vet Vance, but the MAGA crowd will write it all off as fake news anyway.

        Also the fact that Trump only cares about himself and his growing cognitive decline means he probably had zero idea who any of the people on “his short list” even were. So when his offspring offered to make that pick for him I’m sure he was all for it, and being a raging narcissist believed it didn’t even matter against Biden.

  • … I just want to stop learning more about this man. Everywhere you look, there’s something even more fucked up than whatever you knew before.

    A Trump and Vance ticket shows that even Christians can’t pretend they were really voting for Pence like last time. I don’t think a worse combination is possible.

    Even under the best of circumstances, the monkeys used in AmplifyBio’s research have short, dismal lives. This is evidenced in a study published in June in the journal PLOS Pathogens, conducted at AmplifyBio on 25 macaques. The experiment required drilling holes in the monkeys’ skulls to deliver vaccine injections directly into their brains. After a month of observation, the study records, the animals were “humanely terminated,” and their brains harvested for research.

    Macaques, which the article states AmplifyBio uses, are smart enough that the stone tools they make were briefly used as evidence of human presence in south america. Their tools were close enough to human tools as to fool some experts.
