  1. Vance falsely asserted that mass deportation will be “really good for our workers” when in reality it’ll lower wages and cost jobs of US-born workers, economist say.

    Past mass deportation efforts made similar false promises to US-born workers👇🏽 bostonglobe.com/2024/09/03/opi #VPDebate

  2. To the nativists, this may be a betrayal in policy terms.

    But for the broader Trumpian approach to politics,
    -- blaming Americans instead of scapegoating immigrants gives away the whole game.

    Look at JD #Vance:
    he catapulted himself to fame in 2016 through Hillbilly Elegy,
    -- where he wrote the following about the white working class in rural Ohio:

    “What goes on in the lives of real people when the industrial economy goes south is about reacting to bad circumstances in the worst way possible.

    It’s about a culture that increasingly encourages social decay instead of counteracting it.”

    Vance has dropped that line of argument in recent years
    and replaced it with attacking immigrants,
    -- like those in Springfield, Ohio.

    💥It’s a reflection of Trump’s entire project from day one:
    he sells a world in which the country’s (and your) problems are the fault of immigrants,
    the “enemy within”
    — whoever.

    🔥The tech oligarch position on this dramatically undermines that in a rhetorical sense,
    and reveals the extent to which they are out of step with the people whose votes they just harvested.

  3. A two-year-old social media post written by J.D. #Vance resurfaced on Wednesday, and it's not helping his campaign for vice president

    During his candidacy for the Senate in 2022, the Ohio lawmaker appeared on the right-wing "Real America's Voice" Network,
    where he discussed his stance on Ukraine's fight against Russian aggression.

    He said: "I think it’s ridiculous that we are focused on this border in Ukraine. I got to be honest with you,
    🌟I don’t really care what happens to Ukraine one way or the other🌟."

    At the time, former NBC News commentator and retired Army General Barry McCaffrey replied to a clip of Vance's interview via X (formerly Twitter), writing:
    "JD Vance is a #shameful person unsuitable for public office. His comments are those of a #stooge for Russian aggression."

    Vance shot back at McCaffrey, saying:
    "Your entire time in military leadership we won zero wars. You drank fine wine at bulls—t security conferences while thousands of working class kids died on the battlefield.
    Oh, by the way, how much do you stand to gain financially from a war with Russia, Barry?"

    New York Times columnist David French also slammed Vance, writing:
    💥"He’s talking about a guy with three Purple Hearts, two silver stars, and who commanded 24th ID in Desert Storm, leading the attack that led to one of the most decisive military victories in American history. 💥
    This is such a sad and shameful attack on an honorable man."

    As the senator's post resurfaced on Wednesday,
    conservative lawyer George Conway commented:
    "I hadn’t seen this before, but🔥 I think this settles it.
    Vance is an
    a—hole."🔥

  4. JD #Vance Campaign Event With Christian Right Leaders May Have Violated #Tax and #Election Laws, Experts Say

    #Ziklag and the Courage Tour, the far-right groups that hosted the #Republican vice-presidential nominee, are charities that can’t legally intervene in #political campaigns.

  5. Republican vice-presidential nominee JD #Vance’s appearance at a far-right Christian #revival #tour last month
    💥may have broken tax and election laws, experts say.

    On Sept. 28, Vance held an official campaign event in Monroeville, Pennsylvania,
    in partnership with the
    "Courage Tour",
    a series of swing-state rallies hosted by a pro-Trump Christian influencer that combine prayer, public speakers,
    👉tutorials on how to become a poll worker and get-out-the-vote programming.

    #Ziklag, a secretive organization of wealthy Christians, funds the Courage Tour,
    according to previously unreported documents obtained by ProPublica and Documented.

    🔥A private donor video produced by Ziklag said the group intended to spend $700,000 in 2024 to mobilize Christian voters by funding
    “targeted rallies in swing states”
    led by #Lance #Wallnau, the pro-Trump influencer.

    Even before the Vance event, ProPublica previously reported that tax experts believed Ziklag’s 2024 ❌election-related efforts could be in violation of tax law.

    The Vance event, they said, raised even more red flags about whether a 🆘 tax-exempt charity had improperly benefited the Trump-Vance campaign.

  8. "Vance verweet Zelensky een gebrek aan respect voor de Amerikanen, waarna Zelenksy hem vroeg "of hij al in Oekraïne was geweest". De Amerikaanse vicepresident antwoordde "dat hij erover gelezen had en het gezien had".
    [...]
    Het gesprek eindigde met Trump die concludeerde "dat dit goede televisie zal opleveren."

    THE IMPROBABLE RISE OF J. D. #VANCE

    When he joined #Trumps ticket, Usha left her job at a prestigious law firm. At this year’s Republican National Convention, Usha, the daughter of Indian immigrants, sat next to Trump as her husband said that “America is not just an idea” but a people bound by a “shared history”. “I’m not sure what #deal J.D. made with #Usha a person close to the couple told me. “But it had to be something, because they make every decision together.”

  17. #Usha #Vance isn’t a mystery.

    She isn’t 2024’s version of Melania Trump from 2017, when we all wondered if an immigrant who looked pretty could also hold the toxic views of her husband
    (spoiler, she can).

    Usha Vance is ambitious too.

    That may be why she is willing to put her career on hold while her husband campaigns to be Trump’s VP.

  18. #VanceBoelter and the deadly cost of #religious #extremism

    Vance Boelter, a #Minnesota man with extensive ties to #conservative #Christianity, was apprehended and charged in the #murders of a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband.
    But as much as this has been called a “#politically motivated” shooting, it’s worth looking into the role #religion may have played.
