OMG: Trump melts down over Tim Walz

OMG: Trump completely MELTS DOWN over choice of Tim Walz as VP

(Brian Tyler Cohen) Aug. 6, 2024: WHOA: DJ Trump finally MELTS DOWN over Tim Walz as VP. Kamala really knows how to hurt the old man, the oldest ever to try to run for president, who would be the oldest ever in office. That might be all right if he weren't going senile and suffering dementia symptoms just like now defunct candidate Genocide Joe.

'Awfully weird': Trump 'absolutely' regretting picking JD Vance

(MSNBC) July 26, 2024: JD Vance wrote the forward to the Project 2025 agenda that Trump is to run as far away from as possible. The Trump campaign says the ex-president will not commit to a debate until VP Kamala Harris is the official Democratic nominee. And then at that time, he will find another reason to avoid debating her. Also, JD Vance is facing growing backlash for comments he made about childless people in 2021, about who should pay taxes, and about how much he and Trump are invested in living out the Project 2025. Former New York Rep. Max Rose and former advisor to George W. Bush and John McCain Mark McKinnon join Ana Cabrera to share their political analysis. #JDVance #Trump #Politics

Donald Trump may ditch JD Vance as VP after ‘damaging’ week

(Sky News Australia) July 29, 2024: Speculation continues to grow over whether former US Pres. DJ Trump will ditch JD Vance as his running mate after a “very damaging” week. It comes as a 2021 interview with Tucker Carlson resurfaced last week, in which Vance referred to Democrats like AOC and VP Kamala as a "bunch of childless cat ladies" who don’t have a stake in the future of the country. The Republican VP nominee has since defended his comments after facing backlash following the remarks he made back in 2021. The Australian’s Washington Correspondent Adam Creighton joined Sky News host Chris Kenny to discuss the recent backlash the senator is facing and whether Trump will remove him from the ticket as the Republican vice president nominee. “It’s been very damaging,” Creighton said. “I mean he's had to explain himself and as they say in politics if you’re explaining you're losing and there’s been a lot of explaining this week.”

Fraud: JD Vance isn't a 'hillbilly' (LA Times)

J.D. Vance, Ex-President Trump's new running mate, is a classic example of a convenenciero — someone who goes through life with no principles other than getting ahead and no loyalty to a community other than his own (LM Otero/AP).

Me and my brown wife Usha are true Americans.

From the moment I learned about hillbillies as a child, I was entranced. Good ol' boys and girls born high up in the mountains?

[The trailer trash of Appalachia?] That’s my parents. People who moved from rural towns to metro areas in search of a better life?

We is downhome folks from them thar hills

Story of both sides of my family. Working class? My upbringing. Lovers of things — food, fashion, music, diction, parties — that polite society ridiculed? Yee-haw! Stubbornly clinging to their ancestral lands and ways? ¡Ajúa!

I learned to love toxic bourbon, bluegrass music, Hee Haw reruns, and Jeff Foxworthy's "You Might Be a Redneck If..." series.

As an adult, I drove through the small towns of central and eastern Kentucky and Tennessee, feeling at home in areas even my white friends warned wouldn't take kindly to "my type."

I might not have outwardly resembled the 'billies I met — I'm a cholo [Mexican style gang member] nerd, after all — but we got along just fine, because they were my brothers and sisters from another madre.

Ask A Mexican! (Gus Arellano)

That’s why I was intrigued when J.D. Vance’s memoir, Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis, was released in 2016.

From what I heard about it, the familial dysfunction, generational poverty, and inherent fatalism that Vance overcame were similar to the pathologies of my own extended Latino clan.

The up-from-bootstraps message he preached in interviews was what my parents had always preached and what I still subscribe to. Vance's critique of conspicuous consumption among the poor is something everyone should consider.

But the parallels between the clean-cut Vance and me only went so far. He was a Yale graduate and venture capitalist, while I'm a community college kid who chose a dying profession [journalism].

He was far removed from his roots, while I experience mine nearly every other weekend at family parties. More importantly, Vance cast himself as an extraordinary exception to his fellow Appalachians, describing 'billies as encased in a toxic amber that kept them from improving their lot and left them embittered with a country that has moved on without them.

My Mexican hillbilly family never had time to whine and mope. My parents’ generation found blue-collar jobs, bought homes, and are now retired and enjoying the fruits of their blood, sweat, and tears.

Most of my cousins got white-collar jobs or joined the public sector. Their children are going straight to four-year universities. More: Column: I know what a true hillbilly is, and it's not J.D. Vance (LA Times via MSN)
