I pray to God every day that this discharge petition will succeed in giving Ukraine the much needed aid. I don’t know if it will work but please try calling Mike Gallagher, Ken Buck and Tom McClintock’s offices and imploring them to support this.
Is there any more compelling relevance for JVL's decadence diagnosis than the online sneaker market Joe describes? The Sneaker Con event is perfectly named.
OK, so I just click through the email and start reading often without really paying attention to which newsletter it is, or even if it is Bulwark or Dispatch or something else, and about 4 paragraphs in, I just thought, "Man, this has gotta be Perticone," and I was pleased to see that I was right.
Sad that Vance makes a statement that sounds so much like Lindburgh's 1940 statement mentioned in an earlier Bulwark edition. Just as then, the America First crowd of isolationists is just as dangerous now.
I read somewhere that because the soles of the kicks are red, they are violating Louboutin trademark which are red soles. I have no clue if this is true or not.
JD Vance is disgrace to Ohio and to our country! He embarrasses him and all he pretends to represent and stand for. Not up to the job in any way. Shame on Ohio for selecting him as their Senator! Better luck next time!!
Truly enjoyed your discussion of the Trump Sneakers—it's fun to turn off the beaten path into someone's niche expertise sometimes. However, I just feel the urge to point out that none of these finer points on style and quality can possibly matter with this product. The one and only reason to buy these sneakers is to display your utter slavishness to Trump. In that sense (a sense that would surely go unspoken among Trump fans) maybe uglier is actually better. The more godawful you're willing to look for the Leader (and the more you'll pay to look godawful) the more devoted you must be. The perfect MAGA badge of (dis)honor.
Of course they are. Cost $25 to make. Sold for $299. Or $499. Cheap materials. Sweatshop overseas production. Typical Trump bowel gas.

Just wanted to comment that I really enjoyed reading this post, especially the deep dive on sneakers. Thanks Joe!
JD Vance, today's Neville Chamberlain.
Nothing like another good money laundering con by the trump team.

Joe, have you reached Imelda Marcos level of closet space for your sneakers?
Trump's sneakers may have opened him up to future trademark lawsuits.

Shocking, I know.

I'm amazed at the luck of our having a regular columnist so well versed in the subject of sneakers. This was a great read.

"Trump’s MAGA Stan Smiths" OMG, Joe, you killed me with this one!🤣
Cheap China sneakers at designer prices. Has anyone asked for the country of origin label? By the way, where are those tacky hats made?
