JD Vance took to lying like a duck to water after a rough start. He's better at it than Trump. More coherence. A product of on-the-job training, I suppose. Vance takes the false witness thing to a whole different level. The commandment had to do with an instance of lying, or maybe a little spree.
With Vance lying is existential. He incorporated it into his being. Lying isn't something he does but what he is. He's living the lie. Now, 'witness' as I understand it is to see something, not to relate it, in its most essential and primitive meaning. Testifying or relating comes in later. I think Vance has experienced a transformation. The inverse of what the Bible had in mind. He deliberately killed off his soul, under the influence of Trump. Hence the majestic falsity. I thought Trump was satanic but not Satan.
He's too disorganized. Not Vance. He isn't failing in his witness he's testifying in his defense of Trump as an affront to God. He's not pulling a fast one. He's challenging God. God's authority.
Chris Christie said Trump didn't have his shit together enough to collude with the Russkies. What Christie left out was that Trump certainly wanted to -- crime enough. I think Vance might be Satan, not a person of petty ambition. Not of opportunism. Possessed, at least. Vance's religious circle has been embracing pious irrationalism, praise Jesus, including exorcism and an intense and somewhat disconcerting preoccupation with the possibility and evidence of pure evil. Virgins getting hurled into volcanoes and stuff.
See 'Rod Dreher' on this. So, anyway, Vance isn't so much providing false testimony, per se, he's trying to invert reality, the devil's work big time. The Logos -- Christ, in my understanding -- is what Vance is challenging. The Logos is intelligibility. The idea is, without Christ life is unintelligible. Life has no meaning. And with Vance life is unintelligible. Listen to his recent shit on YouTube. The boy's a warrior, I'll say that for him. His mind is squirming like a toad, so to say. He's the killer on the road.
With a killer's certainty. Now, being a believer in forgiveness and the other kind of transformation I have exorcism in mind for Vance and not the volcano. Especially assuming he's not a virgin though he is showing a compulsion and fixation with such matters especially on the vaginal end. So -- benefit of the doubt -- let's suppose that he has a dick and isn't just one. I think it will be apparent in the exorcism if he is in fact Satan and not only a disciple. We might be in the end times, according to some of Vance's allies.
The final battle.
Good, evil, total Star Wars stuff. And I think Vance is very definitely on the dark side, because of the lies. Remember, he isn't slipping up here. He's trying to dethrone reality. And in the service of Donald Trump, an obviously ungodly entity. They're all concerned with the morality of other people, always a bad sign. And purity. They want purity, which I personally think is more in the purview of God. But they want to purify us at their hands, which is messing with an individual's responsibility for their own soul.
Their own salvation. Vance and his peeps should look to their souls, and leave me to mine. Each to his own. I'll say this ... I fear JD Vance. He's a man of hate. He has a persecution complex, coming out of Yale Law, presumably a beneficiary of the same affirmative action for rednecks and would be overthrowers of governments program as Stewart Rhodes who's in jail where he belongs. Whereas Vance is running around lying his ass off in an unbelievable display of ass-licking subservience to Donald Trump.
Lord Trump, whose ambitions he intends to overtake. Trump's ambitions are as parochial as they come, his own enrichment and aggrandizement. Vance wants to change the world. To reinvent it in his conservative, supposedly Christian vision. There's nothing Christian about it. He's a warrior, trying to take over and take what's not his, like Satan. Or maybe he is Satan. His ambitions and egotism are that grand and his moral blindness that immeasurable and encompassing. Our lives are nothing to him.
