      JD Vance, the new GOP nominee for vice president, used his first interview since being named to the ticket to explain why he once called his running mate
      Donald Trump − America's Hitler.
      Coinciding with President Joe Biden's highly anticipated NBC interview, Vance told Fox News he was initially wary of Trump in 2016.
      I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn't be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he's America's Hitler, Vance wrote in a 2016 message to a friend.

A few of my family were surprised I finally did, though. Everyone was so supportive of me that knew me. Only a few people online that do not know me have not been. Most are online, too. Being loved for who I am, not what other wish to force on me, is so great and wonderful. I do not care what a few people think, that is wrong. JD took the job for the money, fame and power. He sold his soul to Trump. Now he as to live with that.

I don't claim dependants on tax, a parenting allowance, or any other assistance in raising a family. I was going to have children and I love my neices and nephews but I became too busy building the life 'I' wanted. Call me selfish. Many have before, but the fact is I worked hard (now retired). I spend a lot of money. That helps business and the economy. I ask for nothing. I pay my way. I'm happy. That scares people like Vance.

She was a top student, went to Cambridge, was likely in the top handful of her law school, clerked at the federal court and SCOTUS (for super conservative judges, Kavanaugh and Roberts), had a job in a top law firm and hitched her star to that absolute piece of &$@+%.
