I can see why DonOld has a affinity for JD

Despite promising local jobs, the company eventually began contracting migrant workers from Mexico, Guatemala and other countries, numerous former employees told CNN.

While Vance stepped down from AppHarvest’s board and launched his political career in 2021, he remained an investor and supporter of the company. By the time he was sworn in to office last year, the company he’d hailed as a great opportunity was mired in lawsuits filed by shareholders angry over its plummeting stock price and allegations of fraud.

Several former employees told CNN they thought Vance and other board members should have recognized and responded to warning signs that company officials were misleading the public and their own investors.

To some, Vance’s enthusiastic promotion of the company followed an all-too-familiar story line in the region.

“Eastern Kentucky is well-known for people coming and going. They start up companies, then they disappear,” said former AppHarvest worker Anthony Morgan. “They didn’t care about us.”
 
I hate to say it, but it sounds typical of guys like Vance to jump into something providing high rewards and then abandon 'his men' when they find themselves in a 'heated battle' fighting against tomato rip-off management in the greenhouses.

Yeah, he bailed on the locals. At first, he promised a 'road to paradise,' but as soon as he made a profit, he jumped ship for greener pastures. Like Trump's model, bail on your buddies and then blame it on their incompetence when the business collapses. Walk away, Vance.

This seems to remind me of another story floating around. I can't recall the tenor of that one, but it sounds like something militarily related. Valor?
 
JD Vance Mocked For Claiming Trump Embodies Marines' 'Always Faithful' Motto

comedy gold

Vance elaborated:
“You hear Marines say it all the time, Semper Fi, and to me, what it means is that Marines are always faithful to our country. ...
“I want to expound upon it because I really do think that Donald Trump exemplifies that motto because his government and under his leadership, the United States was always faithful to the veterans of this country.
“That’s something for us to be proud of. His record and his vision is a vision of always being faithful to those who put on the uniform.”

like. fuck.
 
It's what they do best: just plain insist that black is white and up is down. They know low-information voters tend to fall for it.

MAGAts must be the descendants of snake oil salesmen’s customers.
