Vance's sugar daddy, Peter Thiel isn't even closeted. He has a husband and yet funds anti marriage equality groups and campaigns........
in reply to Lisa Stranger

He was closeted, til a Gawker Media publication outed him. He lost his case, so he financed Hulk Hogan's ultimately successful suit that put Gawker out of business.


According to the letter Douglas Stilgoe received informing him he was being kicked out of the LDS Church, the decision rested on the belief that his online criticism of church leaders amounted to “actively seeking to lead others” away from the faith — a point Stilgoe disputes.

I can't believe how angry I am over Vance's anecdote about the dear friend whose abortion saved her from an abusive marriage

Trump is a deeply broken person with uncountable personality disorders and damaged mental faculties

Vance?

Let's not forget what Romney said;

“I don’t know that I can disrespect someone more than J. D. Vance,”

in reply to Kim Scheinberg

Also Romney:

Romney wished he could grab Vance by the shoulders and scream: This is not worth it! “It’s not like you’re going to be famous and powerful because you became a United States senator. It’s like, really? You sell yourself so cheap?” The prospect of having Vance in the caucus made Romney uncomfortable. “How do you sit next to him at lunch?”

I do love that Romney, ever the Private Equity guy, isn't angry that Vance is for sale, but rather that he's mispriced himself

The difference between code a developer says they could write over the weekend and what it actually would look like as production code.

also, proper logging can add significant bloat to code, but it is *invaluable* when trying to diagnose issues
