Donold needs to throw in the towel and replace JD Vance with Hannibal Lecter. They just gel together—they get each other!—and who else does Trump publicly praise over and over again? He also has a much more extensive résumé as a doctor, and cannibal.

Trump is in a lose-lose with this clown. If he keeps him, he has a giant loser VP everybody hates and laughs at. If he replaces him, he admits he’s shit at vetting and has poor judgement. Either way, Vance is an absolute gift.

My conservative brother-in-law owns a construction company and he knowingly employs illegals yet he is *very* concerned about illegal immigration. It makes zero sense.

That’s not even the worst part. From CNN’s front page story:
>AppHarvest employees said they were forced to work in grueling conditions inside the company’s greenhouse, where temperatures often soared into the triple digits. Complaints filed with the US Department of Labor and a Kentucky regulator between 2020 and 2023 show that workers alleged they were given insufficient water breaks and weren’t provided adequate safety gear. Some workers said they suffered heat exhaustion or injuries, though state inspectors did not find violations.
>[W]orkers were routinely taken out of the greenhouse by medical personnel because they were suffering from heat stroke symptoms. Those who went to the doctor, she said, were told by managers that a doctor’s note was not a sufficient reason to miss a shift.
>As workers left, AppHarvest replaced them with migrant workers, numerous former employees told CNN. By the early fall of 2021, Hester described a workforce that was made up of many workers from countries such as Mexico and Guatemala.

The corporate structure for Vance’s company seems to have been a financial model for Trump’s own media company. And both stocks have been major losers.

A quote that stuck with me about immigrant workers in California: farmers *do* hire US workers, but they universally won’t stay on the job. One farmer said that he’s never seen a US worker return from lunch on the first day.

The more headlines I see about JD Vance, the more I’m convinced that he was the perfect pick for Trump’s VP if the goal is to carry over the disfunction of the last Trump administration.
cmgmoser1 on
Here’s what I don’t understand. Was JD always a grifter? In the early days he was just a left-wing grifter when he spoke out against Trump. Now, he is a right-wing grifter. Did he start grifting after his book took off and he got a taste of the fame/money. His personality doesn’t come from nowhere. There had to be a pattern of his grift form early on in his life.

This is the real reason for illegal immigration. They can solve it today if they make laws to fine / punish people who employ illegal immigrants. But then it will cease to become a voter exploitation issue.

What drives Republicans into madness? Is it the cognitive dissonance? Suppressing their true sexual nature? Bipolar flip-flopping in their hate/love of Trump? Somebody needs to ask Vance as he seems to have some expertise in these areas.

Well obviously the reason it failed was because they hadn’t yet passed laws [banning water and shade breaks](https://www.eenews.net/articles/desantis-signs-bill-banning-water-shade-breaks-for-laborers/) and ruling OSHA unconstitutional. Once they get the “regulatory environment” straight his business will grow.
Watch him blame DEI requirements. /s
