    Well I for one find this claim entirely credible.

    Also, more JD Vance memes! Yay Streisand effect!

      I’m on a campaign to only use the name he got from the idot that spwned him: James Donald Bowman.

      Ofc he’s now simping for another asshole called Donald.

        I don’t understand this, why not call him the way he wants to be called ? He’s despicable but his name isn’t the problem, I don’t see how calling him Bowman (or calling Donald “Drumpf”) is making any progress.

        And it kind of undermines the discourse that we should respect people’s choice as to how they define themselves.

          BTW, the Trump family changed their name before they even came to America, unfortunately - it was such a good story. I still like to call him that from time to time, but also Mango Mussolini, Orange Baby or just mad megalomaniac.

          And without him and his ilk we wouldn’t even have a “discourse that we should respect people’s choice as to how they define themselves” because that would just be the norm, no need to “discourse” about it.

          I do respect peoples choice, but in this case I make an exception. It’s him who denies people the right of identifying as themselves. He’s a homo-and transphobe who supports the notion that people should identify as they are born, and thus I comply. Once he changes his tune in that regard I will respect his.

          It’s not like calling Trump Drumpf, Bowmans’ mother changed his name and after that he changed his own to not be reminded of the identity he was born with. I use his deadname to spite him on purpose.
