I really hope these motherfuckers lose. I'm so tired of hearing about them every day.

As a European I'm so tired of this bullshit, must be crazy over there.

Just go out and vote, okay pretty please?

We should’ve been done with this shit almost 4 years ago. Trump and everyone else that participated in Jan 6 should’ve been rotting in prison cells by now.

unfortunately rich people are coddled by the justice system in the US. It doesn't help Citizens United is allowing piles of money to set everything on fire.

From the east, go out and vote... These fuckers have taken everything for granted

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 78 points 1 day ago

He’s certainly a skeevy little weirdo

Its clear there are no moral lines with vance. If Trump said "somebody should stab JD vance hundreds, thousands of times with a knife" Vance would try to agree with it. He's such a greasy little weasel.

Little more than four years from now, the insurrectionist crowd will be chanting "hang JD Vance". And JD Vance will chant along.

“Ya see what Donald Trump said was that I’m hung, but that’s not how the Haitian illegal fentanyl traffickers, let in by the non-existent Border Czar, should’ve done that in the last 3 1/2 years.”

-JD Vance (probably)

He has the moral compass of a windsock

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 7 points 17 hours ago

That's a damn good line. Totally stealing it.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Why not 4 months instead of 4 years?

[–] cabbage@piefed.social 1 points 15 hours ago

Probably more realistic, I was just working out of the premise that history would repeat itself.

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 9 points 17 hours ago

And they want this little shit weasel to take the reins if Trump is ever incapacitated or kicks the bucket. Pence was insufferable but this void of human emotion or empathy would literally sell out to the highest bidder while on a hot mic.

[–] Freefall@lemmy.world 20 points 17 hours ago

He is a weasel politician with no real stance on anything.

A failed (at everything) businessman and a pure politician....good job maga.

[–] Breezy@lemmy.world 13 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Vance came off as very likeable. He lied a bunch thats not the point, he was likeable for a lot of people. That matters more than policy sadly.

Vance is dangerous now that he just seems to be a weird okay guy. No one who watched the debate can say Tim won. They both won but vance more so.

[–] exanime@lemmy.world 16 points 14 hours ago

He lied a bunch thats not the point

This is the problem right here

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 14 hours ago

The fact is, Trump has said rising sea levels means “a little more beachfront property” and suggested the noise from wind power “causes cancer.” Vance can’t wash those comments away.

Lunacy and I'm glad it's being pointed out, but it's not in a publication that anyone who needs to see it will visit.
