Vice President JD Vance’s Bluesky account was suspended within minutes of him joining the platform. His posts criticized medical treatments for transgender youth and claimed pharmaceutical influence over healthcare decisions.

The biggest delusion in modern society is thinking that a Twitter-like social media network is "the place to go for common sense political discussion and analysis".

I keep hearing the media repeat this bullshit. Twitter is not and never was the "public square". It's a place for morons to be morons and heart each other for being morons.

What a pos. nobody is "pushing" these medicines on kids. it's ultimately the kid's decision about whether they want these medications or not and I'm not aware of any cases to the contrary. also these medications have been used for literal decades so how can they be experimental? how do you expect people to trust you when you lie so blatantly? glad he got banned.

Happy Pride Month ❤️

also these medications have been used for literal decades so how can they be experimental?

Honest answer: the drugs are being used off-label. It's not even experimental, it's basically a wildcat way of using them. An experiment would involve control groups and a double-blind trial, among other things.

I'm saying this because this is what rightoids are saying as criticism and you need to be able to counter that with facts. Right now, there just isn't enough information and that's what they're capitalizing on.

And this is the point where he playbooks "i was just asking questions i was just being reasonable why are you so mean unreasonable leftist echo chamber etcetc"

Which only works when people let it. A swift "you started ranting crazy bullshit" is what is needed here.

Stupid shit has no rightful place in normal society

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

That is one stupid sonofabitch.

Imagine thinking that one Clarence Thomas is less corrupt than thousands of doctors.

[–] evilcultist@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Coming from Vance, I like how the logic underlying the statements presumes a profit motive undermines the result.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 22 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

He’s not wrong about medical companies influencing patient care. He’s just wrong about who and why.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 9 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

"Anyway, want a 6 months supply of Vicodin?" -The doctors he should actually be worried about.

Sorry, I meant should as in if he actually gave a shit about what he pretends to give a shit about as a preface to target trans people.

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com -3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Okay but we all know these fuckers believe in nothing.

If you don't get that by now, you're determined to not.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (2 children)

I...I'm fully aware. Thought that was pretty obvious from my last response...

[–] Mike_the_Head@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

( It was. )

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

So gotchas about it seem kinda... I dunno, a few steps behind?

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Yeah, you've completely lost me. What do you mean by gotchas?

be me

young

want to have long hair

such a thing is not allowed because i cannot consent to it

also my opinion is probably bought by big shampoo

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 22 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Apparently, they reinstated it saying they just wanted to confirm it was really him before fully activating it.

[–] StereoCode@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

I was generally curious why posting that would get him banned. It's def contrary to popular opinions on the platform but doesn't violate any rules.

Corpos will never let you down. Only throw you there.

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

If I had to be my-name-1 I'd probably just quit out of embarrassment

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 hours ago

I hope his dick rots off, just so he can get to experience gender-affirming care firsthand.

[–] RizzoTheSmall@lemm.ee 22 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't he happy with his Truth Social account?

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 18 points 7 hours ago

You can't Own The Libs from over there

[–] guyoverthere123@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

The account was banned, and then reinstated after being verified.

His first posts didn't get him banned.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

It probably didn't do any favours opening up immediately with obvious troll bait.

[–] KAtieTot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Those posts read like chatgpt.

Simple hack for a turing test:

Cut all the humanity out of a person.

[–] AttaBoiShmattaBoi@lemmy.world -2 points 4 hours ago

What did he lie about? (Not on Blue sky and don't plan to be)

[–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

He isn't banned, takes just a second to check.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 14 points 6 hours ago

It was banned, but reinstated after they verified it wasn't a random troll and was indeed the actual troll, JD Vance himself.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

As he said, it is a place for common sense discussion. Which just happens to be no place for him and his ilk.

[–] letsgo2themall@lemmy.world 24 points 12 hours ago

his account is still active. just checked. this post is also still up.

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 69 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

"a screenshot from clearsky showing jd vance's account as the most blocked in 24 hours on bluesky"

it's going well.

also lol'ing at the fact that he's jd-vance-1 because jd-vance was taken by a parody account which has a big banner reading "I did not fuck a couch".

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 18 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

So, here we are. The VP of the supposedly most powerful nation can't even integrate with humans.

We knew this before the election.
