“And now under Shakira law, we invite Shakira’s hips to take the stand, as they are known to never lie.”

James, go back and read Vance's book 'Hillybilly Elegy'. I'll point out just one issue it raises as an example of its threadbare content: he talks about 'Mountain Dew mouth' afflicting Appalachian citizens who drink too much sugary lemonade. The implication is that the people he is elegizing are ignorant and self destructive, no mention of the unaffordable cost of dental treatment - if it is at all available - or the 'right to work' policies the Republican led states inflict on working people. Poor wages, a lack of healthcare benefits, few environmental protections and suppression of unions.

Explaining JD Vance:
"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." - Lord Acton
"The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil." - Paul

I had a conversation with an American online where I could not convince him I had had a beer in a beer garden in Finsbury Park, where London's largest mosque is situated… They are totally brainwashed.

We all should want to live under "Shakira law"! That woman is absolutely beautiful and she's a great dancer!

[robertcreighton]

Trump loved the compliment and said i get the best praise no other president has had such high praise. covfefe

[serpentinefire]

J.D. Vance has made this crazy political about turn because of money (donations), power (presidential), opportunism and he has watched Trump’s relentless campaign of lies, racism and conspiracy theories which has resulted in hardly any negative consequences. So, Vance is following the playbook.

[ChooChooTheCat]

J.D.Vance sounds like a character in The Dukes Of Hazzard

[MikiCab]

J.D. Vance is taking a lesson from Trump and just saying outlandish lies. It has been proven Trump and can lie at will and it has no affects to his popularity. J. D. Vance is just doing what has worked for Trump over the last 50 years.

[KoffieConvos]

That “Shakira Law” call was pure comedy and tragic bilge!

[christopherbaglin]

I'm watching this on YouTube, but absolutely loving your Danish guest!

[carolspencer]

Paying for the argument is indeed,
nail on head, so to speak.
So much sensemaking.
Truly grateful.

Most people do know would love to go and live in an Islamic country... They're also so popular as holiday destinations. Lol

remember - Freedom fries
when Bush era America turned on France?
what surprises you?

The shortage of skilled craftsmen in Britain is down to Tory cuts in education - and the neglect of our splendid Technical Colleges. But there was method in this madness. The plan was to weaken the power of the people who can better themselves through skilled labour and thus have the confidence to challenge the powers-that-be. We have to admit that it worked brilliantly : by and large, our population is both credulous and skint. It took an earthquake to wake them up -just enough to secure a change and get rid of the racketeers. Give Starmer a bit of slack . Us “oldies”will recall that famous line of Bette Davis when facing a new life : “Don’t let’s ask for the Moon, Jerry. Remember we have the stars.”

James, The bit that was said by JD was pure Russian propaganda to weaken NATO.

[archiecervantes]

Keep up the great work James! It will be a truly dangerous and frightening world if Trump gets reelected. 👍

[rosemarycuthbert]

Clearly vance is a political opportunist

[mickreaddin]

The Congressmen/women, the Senators are (pretty much) educated at Yale etc. They are intelligent, but they are fully aware of the kinds of people they are talking too

[glitterberrypie]

James should definitely check out Cenk he’s a very intelligent man
