Why is that? He lacks the cult of personality to be able to carry on after Trump IMO, and was largely picked as a ‘Yes Man’.

Given his age, there is a non-zero chance that he may die while in the presidency?

JD Vance isn’t exactly a charismatic individual (some might even go so far as call him ‘weird’); so this entire neo-fascist movement may very well fragment and flounder in the not too distant future.

Contraceptives aren’t 100% effective, not all sexual partners are willing to use them regularly, rapes can and do happen, and most importantly - bodily autonomy is something that should be respected.

The balance of one’s diet is then made up of fats, which depending on goals (caloric deficit for weight loss etc.).

It’s a week in Japan in total, then a couple more weeks travelling Asia. Trying to cram in as many distractions as possible

Non-American, though (rightfully) heavily invested in this election.

Since I’m an otherwise powerless observer, we took our family to Tokyo Disneyland to help and distract us until the results are in.
