  1. Per The New Yorker:

    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.”

  5. #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.

  6. 'Vance’s opposition to support for Ukraine, in support of which the trained propagandist adopts Russian propaganda, is one of the things that made Trump a fan. And it led him to vote against funding for the military — something that the anti-war Walz did not do.

    Vance the propagandist has made the military service of both his and Walz, the NCO, a campaign issue."

  7. "Vance served a single four-year enlistment in the public affairs section in the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, and wrote in his memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, that he was 'lucky to escape any real fighting.'

    Meanwhile, Walz served as an enlisted soldier in the Army National Guard for two decades, ultimately attaining the rank of command sergeant major."

  8. "Vance’s argument that white rural poverty stemmed from a culture of laziness and welfare dependency simply took age-old racialized tropes about Black and brown people and redirected them to poor whites."

  9. "#Vance’s oration is an important phase in the ongoing evolution of right-wing #Trumpism. With his nomination, the slapdash and xenophobic excesses of Trump’s prior two campaigns are becoming refined and sharpened into a potent, albeit bastardized, brand of pseudo-populist nationalism." - #ChrisLehmann

  13. Vance repeats a bogus Trump claim on ‘factories’ debunked years ago

    "If you go back to the Trump presidency, we had 12,000 factories that were built during Donald Trump’s presidency.”
— Republican vice-presidential nominee JD Vance, in remarks on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Aug. 25

    
Vance, in defending former president Donald Trump’s proposal for across-the-board tariffs, argued that Trump managed to bring back manufacturing jobs from overseas when he was president. He then cited as evidence a statistic that immediately gave us PTSD.

🔥“12,000 factories”
    — we’d fact-checked this #falsehood during the Trump administration.

    Trump said it 15 times during his presidency, according to our database of false and misleading claims, including in the 2020 State of the Union address.

    
The Facts:
“Factories” conjures up images of smokestacks and production lines, but the dataset cited by Trump
    — and now Vance
    — is not really about factories.

    Trump is citing a Bureau of Labor Statistics database set known as the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, which counts the number of “establishments in private manufacturing.”

    But more than 80 percent of these “manufacturing establishments” employ five or fewer people.

    If those sound like pretty small factories, that’s because many are not “factories.”

    The BLS considers any establishment “engaged in the mechanical, physical, or chemical transformation of materials, substances, or components into new products.”

    So that also means establishments “that transform materials or substances into new products by hand or in the worker’s home and those engaged in selling to the general public products made on the same premises from which they are sold, such as bakeries, candy stores, and custom tailors.”

    
It’s also #strange that Vance would rely on an outdated Trump statistic.

    As we mentioned, Trump included this in the 2020 State of the Union address, and it represented the period from the first quarter of 2017 to the third quarter of 2019.
    
For all of #Trump’s presidency, the figure would be #nearly 18,000 additional “manufacturing establishments.”

    But here’s the rub:
    Through the first quarter of this year, President Joe #Biden could claim a gain of #nearly 💥39,000 during his tenure.❗️
    
A Vance spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.

    "Nobody's ever seen such a seamless shape-shifter...." And he hangs out with only the best liars. Terrific. Perfect really.

    #VanceVirus and his #Project25 "mind"set of delusion & #nihilism
    So smart.

  15. Speaking of J.D. (Junior Drumpf) #VanceVirus

    Mr. Smooth is set to tear into the coach, if he can, & he's quite the smooth talker.

    Shame on CBS - no fact-checking live.
    And open mics, inviting the two to take it to the ring. "We'll see what happens".

    For sure, #truth is going to get beat up badly by #JD

    As much of the world is focused on things like floods, hurricanes, and wars. Maybe it's our having 2 moons now.

  16. As a German I have trouble with some more exotic / informal words my American friends are using.

    Like Douchebag.

    I don‘t know what exactly this is, had a vague exemplar of a douchebag in mind.

    Until I saw JD Vance. I‘m convinced he is the very essence of douchebagginess. This is how I imagined it - how he walks, how he talks, what he says.

    Am I far off?

Wife of #VanceBoelter who killed #MelissaHortman #Democratic #Minnesota state #representative and her husband Mark Hortman - also shot dog, and children were in the house, was wearing a mask and impersonating police officer, early Sat morning - was stopped along with relatives, in #MN with #Gun, #Cash, and #Passports - Assassin still on the run. #Boelter targeted #legislators who are #abortion rights supporters

  19. #Vance on #ThisWeek (and earlier on #FtN): "We want the country to be more Pro-Family and make it easier to start a family."

    So, if you're wondering what the origin of their "#ForcedBirth" policy is... 🤔

    He goes on to repeatedly talk about "turning it over to the states".

    TRANSLATION: "If you don't like it, you can always MOVE!"

  20. Vance’s speech underlines the necessity to not have unregulated online platforms.

    Being responsible for hate speech, being transparent, not allowing manipulation, and combatting disinformation are not elements of censorship. It’s common sense. And some platforms are now outright propaganda machines.

  21. #Vance says 🔥Trump administration would end funding to #Planned #Parenthood
    
While some states have halted government funds to Planned Parenthood, recent GOP-led efforts to defund the nonprofit nationwide have been largely unsuccessful

    A large percentage of Planned Parenthood’s funding comes through Medicaid, federal grants or other programs that reimburse Planned Parenthood clinics nationwide for providing birth control
    as well as preventive screenings for cancer and sexually transmitted diseases for low-income Americans who are eligible for free or cost-reduced services through the Title X family planning program.
    
According to the organization’s 2023 annual report, 34 percent of its revenue comes from government health services reimbursements and grants,
    47 percent from private contributions and
    18 percent from nongovernmental health service revenue.

  22. #Vance’s parents immigrated to the US from southern #India, settling in San Diego in the 1980s. Her father came from a family of prominent #academics, a relative told the Indian Express,…“I always knew that she would excel academically & in any profession…it runs in the family. Her great grandfather, her grandfather, her father….”

    Her father is an #engineer & her mother a #microbiologist. Both are academics: Vance’s mother is a provost at UC San Diego, & her father lectures at San Diego State.
