i managed to read about half of hillbilly elegy before throwing it away, and yea…vance’s family (according to vance) is a bunch of shitty moronic losers. which, coming from couchfucker himself, means they must really be something else
I wonder if Vance has pivoted back into liking his family now that this brain has gone from moldy (during the Hillbilly Elegy era) to completely liquified and flooded with spores (now).
Republicans care about the opinions of drug addict single mothers now?
When his mother erased Donald Bowman from his and her lives, the adoption process also erased the name James Donald Bowman from the public record. The only birth certificate for Vance on file at Ohio’s vital statistics office reads James David Hamel, according to information provided by the state, cited by the Associated Press.
He would spend more than two decades as James David “J.D.” Hamel, and served in Iraq as a US Marine – Corporal James D Hamel. But the situation gnawed at him, particularly after his mother and adoptive father divorced.
“I shared a name with no one I really cared about (which bothered me already), and with Bob gone, explaining why my name was J.D. Hamel would require a few additional awkward moments,” he wrote in Hillbilly Elegy.
"Yeah, my legal father’s last name is Hamel. You haven’t met him because I don’t see him. No, I don’t know why I don’t see him. Of all the things that I hated about my childhood, nothing compared to the revolving door of father figures.”
He decided to change his name again, to Vance — the last name of his beloved “Mamaw.” Vance’s mother suffered with substance abuse and addiction, and was allegedly abusive to her children, leading to him being taken in and brought up by James and Bonnie Vance.
Vance paid tribute to his grandmother, a union Democrat, during his acceptance speech after being elected to the US Senate in 2022.

Lil JD is still just looking for a Daddy that won’t run off in a couple years, I really won’t be surprised if he tries to change his name to trump for 2028
I figure his daddy is Peter Thiel.
If this tool was my kid, I’d leave too.
* who raised creepy, couch fucking Nazis?
No. No we do not
Either punch him or don’t. Put up or shut up. I don’t care about what folks might probably do. Why is this reported?
Interesting. I wonder if someone else’s mother said they’d probably punch “JD” “Vance” or tiny-d donnie in the face if they’d get a visit from the feds.
Yet another person on the far-right demonstrating violent tendencies.
Everyone should punch his mother for not aborting that waste of oxygen.
That dude is jacked jacked lol she should fight him
Let tubby Vance and his mom 2v1 him and they still don’t stand a chance
