Abdul El Sayed on JD Vance calling him "little weasel": "They're carnival barkers, you hear them, too many of them are Ohio. It's funny. JD Vance called me a little weasel. I'm like no, no, no. What you’re talking about is a f***ing wolverine. You can take your Buckeye and shove it somewhere else."

JD is definitely projecting when calling anyone else a "little weasel".

u/boogermike 1d ago

Also JD sucks at delivering insults. He projects weasel-ness when he throws his misguided insults.

u/Rage_Like_Nic_Cage 1d ago

JD’s skill is taking any situation/scandal and making himself/the GoP the victims of it. It’s why Trump picked him as VP. Though it’s a double edged sword because he perpetually comes off as a whiny little bitch.

u/boogermike 1d ago

Yup, his "Boo Hoo! They are eating cats and dogs" shit is very undignified.

I hope he runs for President. He should be the un-disputed candidate, and they should have no primaries.

Dude can't even order a fucking donut without making it awkward. The guy is a little pussy Moma's Boy. If they are going to start having fights on the White House lawn, the next one should be between JD Vance and Abdul El Sayed and we'll see who the little weasel is.

u/MercJ 1d ago

He was supposedly a Marine too. Marines have enough cred (or at least used to) that they don't need to go around calling other people weasels. Doing so is pretty weak. What has this guy actually accomplished beyond that...? Getting bought and paid for by Thiel? Hitching his wagon to a guy he called America's Hitler?

u/sto_brohammed 1d ago

I've seen this other places and comments misunderstanding the "wolverine" thing, thinking it's referring to the comic book character. Michigan is called "the Wolverine state" (more on why later) and the University of Michigan's sports teams are called the Wolverines. El Sayed attended University of Michigan.

The nickname for Michigan comes from the Toledo War, a "war" where Michigan and Ohio "fought" over what is now Lucas County, Ohio. The two armies largely got lost, extremely drunk and wasted state money so the war was basically called off. That's oversimplifying but the article above is a decent summary. The vast majority of the fighting occurred in bars in the area. During the war the press in Ohio referred to Michiganders as "wolverines", which is to say greedy, nasty animals from the frozen north. Michiganders accepted the term and use it to this day. The term "Michigander" has a similar history of taking on a pejorative but that's another story.

This is especially appropriate as Vance is, of course, an Ohioan and while the rivalry is largely centered around sports these days it's not confined just to sports.

For anyone interested in the Toledo War I'd suggest Michigan's Early Military Forces from Wayne State University Press.

u/Garouvs 1d ago

Wolverines are also mustelids which is the same family as weasels which makes the response extra clever

u/thefassdywistrin 1d ago

Also, weasels have a reputation for being clever little thieves. Wolverines have a reputation for defending their territory to the death.

It's a very clever line.

He's such a fucking chad. Smart, funny, and utterly unwilling to accept shit without clapping back. The first time I saw him talk I thought "I hope to God he's been married for twenty years because they're gonna talk to every woman this guy has so much as worked with in the past." Looked it up, happily married for twenty years to a woman who is very impressive on her own right. They did talk to EVERYONE and tried some bullshit but nothing stick because it was bullshit. A physician who chose to work in public health rather than the lucrative private practice he could have run This dude has his shit ON POINT.

I mean anything can happen but he's just fucking exploding with confidence and I'm for it.

u/sf_frankie 1d ago

Read the dudes Wikipedia page if you haven’t yet. He was a three-sport athlete in HS and captain of all three teams. Gave the commencement speech after graduating from UoM Phi Beta Kappa with highest distinction. Bill Clinton was the keynote speaker at the commencement. He was so impressed that he pulled him aside after the speech and encouraged him to consider public service. He then got a full ride to UofM med school, led a medical mission to Peru, received a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford where he received a doctorate of philosophy and earned a full blue as captain of their men’s lacrosse team (an award for sporting excellence). Then came come and finished med school at Columbia and instead of practicing medicine he went into public health. All before turning 30.

Most of his work in public health has been in Detroit post bankruptcy which is basically hard mode yet he’s managed to be successful.

I did see one of the commercials against him while watching a football stream last weekend, with something about a mother deciding she was going to change everything she believed in (regarding her being a lifelong Democrat), because he talked about a recent school shooting in a way that she didn't like.

I remember my thoughts at the time being something like, "yeah, this feels like an honest complaint by a real person."

u/tendollarstd 1d ago

Soooo, what kind of fun local centric history tidbits do you have to offer?

15

u/ZedekiahCromwell 1d ago edited 1d ago

Plenty. Just recently we discussed the Bunker Hill Mine event where during a labor dispute, 1000 miners hijacked a train, loaded it full of dynamite, rode it as a massive group, and drove it into the company mill and detonated the dynamite, exploding it. Then, in 1905, the governor of Idaho was assassinated by dynamite strapped to his front gate. When he opened it, it triggered, instantly killing him.

A little before that, when we were talking immigration in the late 1800s and the Chinese Exclusion Act, I asked them if anyone knew why Garden City was named as such (it's a city literally touching Boise). No one knew, so I explained that it was named after the Chinatown that had developed there outside of Boise, referring to the "Chinese Gardens". A major street through the valley is named Chinden, but almost no one knows why. It is the center road of Garden City, and is a shortening of "CHINese garDENs".

Boise doesn't have very much of a Chinese community left (it's very small, but present) because the collapse of mining towns and local discrimination drove many out of the area in the 1900s.

Edit: some typos

I knew the about the state mascot aspect, but I didn't know the history. But it's also amusing to me because if El Sayed had little tufts of hair on either side, his facial hair is not terribly far off from Logan's. 😅 P.S. JD can go kick rocks.

11

u/bu11fr0g 1d ago

another part is that El Sayeds opponent wears U-Michigan jackets in his ads and criticized El Sayed as anti-Michigan. But the trump-loving syncophant never even went to the University of Michigan. Meanwhile, El-Sayed gave the student commencement speech.

Oh brother I love your optimism and I wish I shared it, but im deep in MAGA country in SW Ohio not far from Cincy, and they are Trump or die here. They dont put the Trump signs on the lawn anymore and they dont wear the hats out of shame for what they've done to this country, but their hatred for anything that isnt a lily-white straight Christian man takes precedent over anything else. I personally know people that would watch their own child suffer and die so that they could continue to pursue the policies that makes their children suffer and die. As long as a liberal out there also suffers, thats all that matters to these people. Their hate trumps any other rational thought or feeling you could imagine.

I cannot stress enough how hate and fear are the chief platforms on which these people operate. Their entire being is based around the absolute hatred of anyone who doesnt look or sound like them. So much so that it has truly become their entire identity.

i used to believe otherwise when i was younger and more hopeful but after 20 years of voting I dont think someone with his name will be ever be a democratic presidential candidate. if we cant get a boring center-right white woman we will never get a progressive brown man.

we will continue fighting the local and state level elections on the ground… but any post obama presidency is for people who look and sound white. we had one chance, elected the most white-speaking, corporate/war friendly neoliberal black man we could find… and the backlash afterwards, to a firmly moderate centrist black man, has been insane. literally repealing civil rights because he had the nerve to recognize a systemic problem one time. that was it for the foreseeable future.

The sterile emotionless run through consultants approach to Democratic politics has allowed the Republicans to run the board by appealing to emotion for decades now. And the media aids and abets that approach by running what generates more drama.

I'm state side but I keep tabs on UK politics (thank you Pod Save the UK) and I would have voted for Binhead in a second, Nigel Farage is a proper bastard in my book.

u/SupervillainMustache 1d ago

Bastard is light work. Farage is bottom of the barrel scum and you can make a good argument that he was the driving force of Brexit and all the problems caused by it (funded by his Russian paymasters of course)

u/ayyitsmaclane 1d ago

Don’t let me be misunderstood, I am also stateside. I am just very interested in international politics and I’ve realized that Americans tend to want to portray themselves as more developed and classy as a society, when that’s just not true.

El Sayed is good at communicating and defending his platform as well. I've been impressed after hearing him with Prof G and Ezra Klein

Id rather this than listen to JD say “dude” and “bro”

u/MotherTurdHammer 1d ago

It’s amazing when you know this guys platform but then see the Fox “News” representation. It’s truly disturbing. According to Fox he’s a carpetbagger who’s going to eliminate healthcare for the UAW, bring on a socialist apocalypse, and only represents rich white people.

Hilarious and scary that people watch that shite.

u/amopeyzoolion 1d ago

Carpetbagger? Abdul was born and raised in Michigan and AFAIK has been living/working here since 2015.

Mike Rogers literally lives in Florida lol

Fox News bud. Doesn't have to be reality, they make their own.

There are so many weasely people on the right like Ben Shapiro and Ted Cruz.

True but those are also “rat faced” as well.

u/boogermike 1d ago

Fuck yes to this video, which is for all the people who have been bullied and made to fell less then and an other.

El-Sayed knows how to deliver a line.

u/durntaur 1d ago

Without context I think lots of people don't understand that this is about a traditional Ohio-Michigan rivalry.

u/agent_mick 1d ago

Michiganders know lol. They're the only ones that matter right now

u/Snarl_Marx 1d ago

I’m chuckling at the thought of Ohio conservatives proudly proclaiming they’re going to vote against El-Sayed for the next couple of weeks.

The irony of JD fucking Vance calling someone a weasel.

New York here, did i hear we’re hating on Ohio State? Should i pick up anything on the way?

u/ZakA77ack 14h ago

It's old beef between Ohio and Michigan. Like New York dunking in New Jersey. Or Florida trash talking Alabama. Or everyone trash talking Texas.

Okay, Okay. I'm from Ohio, and I hate to give credit to someone from Michigan, but that is a pretty good one. Well done.

u/datamatr1x 1d ago

JD Vance called trump a nazi. Now his breath smells like dipshit don's dirty diaper. Who the fuck wants to hear from a 2 faced charlie kirk wannabe. Can't wait for him to crawl back to his cum stained sofa when all this shit is finally over.

u/amopeyzoolion 1d ago

Even JD Vance knows Ohio sucks ass, that’s why he cosplays like he’s from Kentucky

5

u/Alucard256 1d ago

I'm from Ohio... go Abdul that's good shit!

F.Y.I. JD got notoriety for writing a book called "Hillbilly Elegy", about the Appalachian values being lost, etc. HOWEVER, keep in mind that he grew up roughly 80-100 miles outside ANYTHING that could be called "Appalachia".

This is like someone from Toledo, OH writing a book about what it's like to grow up in Detroit, MI.

2

u/Legitimate_Staff487 1d ago

I always wonder if guys like JD just have zero self-awareness or if they're painfully aware of how they're perceived, and think it's like a voodoo curse they can pass on to another person.

u/OriginalProduct6850 1d ago

Please dont give carnival barkers a bad name. At least those people you want to be around. I wouldn't let jd near my grandparents plastic covered loveseat!

It’s Ohio. That’s literally all you have to say. Fuck that meaningless mayonnaise state.

I like how he says fuck but uses the euphemism for shoving it right after. Tell him to shove that Buckeye up his brown eye.

u/WhaleSexOdyssey 1d ago

Lots of political consultants have been advising candidates to curse. It makes them appear more relatable.

J.D Vance is the last person who should be calling anyone a weasel.

Went from criticizing Trump to being his couch fucking lap puppet.

GayD Vance opening this pandora’s box right before the midterms was the best thing republicans could have done for the democrats.
