Just watched “Hillbilly Elegy” a movie about some nobody who is now likely going to be vice president. They used an A-list director and cast for what amounted to a boring and campy Lifetime movie. It’s hard to imagine this film was made for commercial purposes.
The budget is estimated at $45 million. $45 million to make a boring movie about some guy nobody’s heard of… …who then less than a year after the release of the film announced he’s running for senate and now, just 3 years after that, is Trump’s VP.
It’s also worth mentioning that the movie is based on JD Vance’s book by the same name. A book that nobody cared about and only had mediocre sales. That is, until the New York Times out of left field wrote an extensive review of the book launching it into best seller territory.
But that’s not all, the New York Times featured multiple articles and interviews with J.D. Vance to discuss his book and his story. They’ve even invited him to contribute to articles as a writer. Yes, that New York Times.
I guess good things happen when you’ve got friends like Peter Thiel, Rebekah Mercer, American Enterprise Institute, The Manhattan Institute, The Hoover Institution, etc.
Why did this dork's boring ass memoir get a $45m movie deal?
Because it had good book sales after a whole lot of people who didn't like the book recommended it as great for other people.
Book sales are easily faked. Why did the movie flop if he's so organically popular and compelling? The film made no money at all.
Oh please. It was a bestseller. Sometimes movies do well, sometimes they don't. It doesn't usually have anything to do with the book, one way or the other.
By the time the movie came out the criticisms of the book had caught up with it and the luster was off.

How could democrats the party of labor lose the message so badly??????
Maybe because actions speak louder than words. And expanding overwhelming immigration that screws US workers is poor policy
The GOP stands to destroy OSHA, wants and has gotten child labor back, will strip people of the ability to earn overtime pay, hates unions and generally sides with scabs and middle management.
And Republican voters are too stupid to realize that the GOP runs on immigration, which is why they had to kill the bill. You’re being used.

NP here - mmm, sorry, no. If you are born in the US you don’t refer to yourself as an immigrant. You would refer to your self as an Indian American/asian American, etc. my parents immigrated and I have never called myself an immigrant - bc I am not. I’m a child of immigrants. For him to say otherwise is reading “but, but, I have black friends”

She's not like Melania! She's not an immigrant! She's a citizen by birthright, which her dh wants to do away with!
Get a taste of it. See what kind of discourse your dh stokes. But whatever. So glad he likes dogs and the movie Babe.
JD's OWN WORDS called his wife an "immigrant." This is a Yale educated attorney who knows what words mean. What is your source that she was born in the United States? If she was born in the U.S. why is he calling her an immigrant?
What is so unsettling about MAGAs is that instead of using an objective , credible source to fact check what their candidates tell them, they find quotes from the candidate. “Well, he says it, so it must be true.”
Seriously, the woman was born in San Diego, and I refuse to be your secretary because you are too lazy intellectually to even validate what you are posting online.
(He probably thinks of her as being an immigrant because she is not white. That is a racist response. See “forever foreign”)

Yeah but he’s not a Dem. Even when he was anti-Trump he hated Hillary and Biden and said he was voting third party.
