dinsdag 16 juli 2024 Turn on Democracy Now. They discuss the implications of Donald Trump’s VP pick, JD Vance. Vance was caught thanking the leaders of Project 2025 for their work banning abortion and defunding Social Security and Medicare. He's an unqualified MAGA puppet! Some good interviews on the show. Author of Strangers in Their Own Land American professor emeritus of sociology Arlie Russell Hochschild talks about Vance's suspicious background and his book Hillbilly Elegy. Vance grew up in the suburbs of Cincinnati, and he's no Jed Clampett. She is speaking live in the middle of Appalachia from Pikeville, Kentucky.

Next interview: the author David Cay Johnston of the verrrrry revealing The Big Cheat. Just ordered this book from my library.

Long live the protesters! Thousands of anti-Trump protesters flooded downtown Milwaukee. The creepy effigy of Trump is my favorite.

Is Saturday Night Live in Milwaukee for the RNC? Remember SNL in Cleveland 2016? Colin and Che had so much fun! Only 8 years ago.
