      Someone on Twitter was roasting Elon Musk years ago for his jawline surgery, hair implants, and testosterone therapy, all of which is gender-affirming care.

      Afterwards he went into a downward spiral that culminated with him being kicked out of a Raymour & Flanigan for public drunkenness and lude behavior.

    It’s gonna take a lot more than eyeliner for those creepy, dead eyes.

    Seriously, those are the eyes of a dude who’s sold his soul.

    Does JD Vance actually wear eyeliner though? Clearly there is some explanation for why he always looks a little bit like Liza Minnelli, maybe it is because he feels like that needs to be part of his style, on purpose, or something, but that seems at least a little implausible although I have never heard any other explanation that makes any more sense.

      I’ve zoomed in on high resolution pics of his face. He absolutely wears something, or else his eyelids are legitimately pitch black.

      i’m a guy who’s been accused of wearing eyeliner before… irish eyes or something….

      pretty sure vance really wears it. Just about every politician and tv personality wears makeup though, i think Vance’s makeup people just got carried away

      but im still hoping JD is a goth/trans double agent and he’s gonna undo all of trump’s stuff as soon as he dies, name bernie sanders as vp, and then resign…

          Hour 5 of crying on the shitter: “I take it back! I DON’T WANT TO SHIT GOLD BRICKS ANYMORE!”

          Seriously, who the hell said that first, and why does everyone just go with it? At least be reasonable and go with gold nuggets or something…

      the simplest explanation is generally speaking the correct explanation. probably he’s wearing eyeliner because that’s the shortest path to explaining why he looks like that without evidence to the contrary. he might also be double lashed, but that’s simply less likely than he applies eyeliner

          Stage lights wash your features out, makeup helps. It’s probably much more common for politicians than we realize, but other men might be less obvious with a dark brown vs black liner.

            Yeah. Every single person you see on TV is wearing makeup, and if you ever see someone who isn’t, they look like a diseased potato. I’m just saying why does heavy eyeliner have to be part of it for JD? It’s just baffling. It has to be on purpose. Right?

              I can imagine someone trying to explain the drawbacks of black vs dark brown liner to him and him dismissing caring about makeup and ending the conversation, but that’s just conjecture. Maybe he just likes how it looks.

              i mean, no, obviously. he’s a soulless vampire. but his dead soulless eyes are what he feels most delicate about and the eyeliner helps him deal with that disphoria

                Or maybe his soul is so dark that his eyes just always look like that, and any amount of makeup will just char and blacken and produce that effect whatever its original color.
