Middletown, OH is not a poor town. Wtf are you liars talking about making it sound like Gary, Indiana? Middletown a perfectly safe and nice suburb of Dayton, OH. It has current real estate listings for million dollar houses. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/7722-Thomas-Rd-Middletown-OH-45042/33169794_zpid/ https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1675-Middletown-Eaton-Rd-Middletown-OH-45042/33170183_zpid/ |

| We should start calling him JD Identifies-As-Vance because that's not the name he was born with. |

Has anyone tracked down the houses he grew up in? A nurse mom and CDL truck driver step-dad is not some dire upbringing. And then grandpa was a retired union rep, who "JD" says would randomly come home with new Chevys and Oldsmobiles. Again, not a dire lifestyle. |

His body may be aging, but Biden was the mastermind and played Mike Johnson. Remember the delay tactic? The proclamations that he wasn’t stepping down. Remember Obama telling Biden to step down before the RNC? Remember the media blitz? Remember Biden saying two weeks? All perfect delay tactics orchestrated by Biden, and the two men and one woman he trusted. On that Saturday evening, 3 men— Biden, his closest advisor, and his chief strategist worked late into the night. No one knew. First call Sunday morning was to Harris. Letter made public. A little later he endorsed Harris. She immediately hits the trail, and very well prepared. Plenty of time before DNC. She has more than enough delegates, endorsements, epic funding, and her name on the ballot before Ohio plays their silly deadline games. Johnson whining “we’ll litigate.” Not legally possible. That’s why they’re clamoring for Biden to leave office now. They’re going to try to manipulate. Not going to happen. You know what the GOP platform is? Block the other side. They have no policies. They don’t compromise. They don’t work. They threaten to shut down our government. This is their only platform. You know what else isn’t going to happen? Trump demanding a refund from RNC and Biden 😆. This will be Biden’s legacy. |

Maybe good for US workers—I dunno, whatever job gains there are are usually offset by the massive inflation it causes... but that's a topic for another thread. The reality is the US workers can benefit from it, but if Wall Street isn't on board with the GOP candidate, they can't get elected. They need Wall Street's money, and Vance being on the ticket completely turns that source of money off. |

Reminds me of Ali G's hometown of Staines - a wealthy, safe, fairly dull, river front town / suburb in the west of Greater London. |

Are you forgetting he was in and out of foster care and his grandparents had to (mostly) raise him because his mom step dad(s) were too unstable? His mom being a top student in high school is irrelevant. Good parents don’t get their kids put in foster care. He did not have some idyllic middle class childhood and I don’t get why people are trying so hard to say he did. |

He had it sort of rough because his nurse mom became an addict and he had to go live with grandma. But it wasn't that rough--more of a middle class tumble to working poor. Too bad it didn't teach him compassion for others. |

| Vance is now polling net-negative. The great thing is that Trump. being the malignant narcissist he is, will absolutely refuse to acknowledge his poor choice and will keep Vance on the ticket. |

The right wing thought Dark Brandon was just a meme cooked up by his social media staff, but it was real. And Biden cooked the GOP. |

Ivanka is smart to stay away from her father’s campaign. I find it alarming how easily Trump can be manipulated and persuaded. Whether it’s his sons breathing down his neck or Elon Musk, this does not bode well if he becomes president again. Like Biden, he’s aging and susceptible to family influence more than he should be. |

See, I beg to differ... if there's one thing we know about Trump it's that he's DEEPLY disloyal and he will abandon people who have sacrificed everything for him—whether it's a wife, a chief of staff, a vice-president... whoever. The moment he senses that he's tied to an unpopular person or some kind of a sexual freak or someone who is not the best option, he will dump them. And when he can't dump them, he throws a public tantrum and makes it clear how much he dislikes the person and humiliates them. Even if, ultimately, it's a detriment to his own interests. It's possible, given Vance's terrible polling, hate from the biggest donors and the sex stuff (true or not!) that by November we'll have Trump openly deriding his VP pick because he can't figure out a way to dump him. |

This. No doubt his home life was chaotic, but he’s taking that trauma and blaming all the wrong people and policies. I just watched a Frontline episode that is completely heart breaking. It follows two working class families in Milwaukee, one white and one black, from the late 80s through today. I missed the first few minutes, but it seems like both fathers (heads of household) had good manufacturing jobs with benefits and could afford to buy SFHs. And then those jobs went away, and the families had to adjust to that new reality and try to keep their families afloat without having access to similar jobs, or money to further education, or access to healthcare or insurance. And then their city suffered a similar fate, fell apart and crime went up and drug use was rampant and the houses, that were their foothold into the American dream, weren’t valuable assets any longer. This should be what everyone does instead of reading ol’ couchf***er’s (debunked, TM) memoir. |
