“One of the things worth knowing about #JDVance's rise in politics is that in his only electoral race before this one, a PAC almost entirely funded by Peter Thiel ran his whole campaign.

Vance's PAC didn't have many staff, but it did hire a guy from Richard Spencer's white supremacist journal "Alternative Right".

And, yes, that's the guy who talked about murdering Mehdi Hasan on CNN last night”:

Polls Show J.D. Vance Performing Favorably Among Men Who Think the Bartender Is Flirting With Them

... “J.D. Vance? Oh yeah, he’s great,” reported bar patron Robert Carruthers. “I love what he’s said about childless women wanting everyone to be miserable because they’re in fact miserable themselves. I actually mentioned that to the bartender a few minutes ago, hoping that she would understand how much more fulfilled she would be if she settled down and started a family with a nice guy like me. She glanced at me and asked if I needed another Miller Lite, so she’s definitely interested. She’ll have to get rid of that septum piercing, though. I’ll have to make that her first wifely duty.”

Vance himself was overjoyed to hear of his popularity amongst this subpopulation. ...

"Boston Strong!" And sane too, it seems, booing JD Vance at a Firefighters' Union (IAFF) Speech

J.D. Vance Booed by Entire Crowd During Dumpster Fire Speech

Vance was brutally burned during a campaign stop, ironically at a firefighters’ union conference.

Like his hero, Sir #TrumpVirus, this fellow shape-shifting creature once again revealed his lack of soul, and abundance of #weird.
Lowlights included the usual stilted #GQP #disinformation, citing statistics leaving out Boston, and awkwardness speaking 'human'.

The article notes both the loud booing, his feeble efforts to seduce the crowd, and his inability to think/talk/live off-script.
For me a bit of context & "contrast/compare": I caught highlights of the same audience being addressed the day before by Tim Walz - a lot of love & respect there for him, and he hit all the right notes on labor and service, and even noted the firefighting tradition in Kamala Harris' family. I'd say Walz hit a near-perfect 10 (as he does) while the #VanceVirus stench the next day was foul & fetid.

J.D. Vance Can’t Tell a Joke to Save His Life. There’s a Reason Why.

"Vance’s quips are all drawn from the same well of barely concealed resentment." Excellent article explaining the reasons behind #JDVance's profound humor deficit and why his "jokes" don't work:

Raskin live 2 minutes ago, just called #JDVance the "pet chameleon" of Sir #TrumpVirus... 'perfect, really'.

I've been amazed at the #GQP shape-shifters in the #cult (like Lindsey, Haley et al)... but Vance is a chip off the old blok. Yeah, #chameleon

More #truth - Lots of it here tonight.
Raskin was wonderful. Everyone is. Sanity & joy! 👍

And also a jerker story (hers) as a survivor...
"Freedom" and rights...

Andy Beshear on now aiming at Trump/Vance vs. freedom, and now (as I type) a pitch for morality, and values, vs. 'anger politics'

Good speeches, important aims. Wonder if #DonOld is watching - probably too busy #truth - ing opposite-speak and #WordSalad
