  1. So Republicans can make up and systematically spread lies about climate change being a hoax, torture being effective, WMDs existing in Iraq, black people being welfare queens, and gun violence not being a uniquely American problem, but it’s cool *so long as they don’t admit to it*?

    These are all pre-Trump lies, for the record. I just sort of can’t believe how willing so many Americans are to believe that these sorts of problems start and end with Trump and his henchmen.

  2. DeSantis shits all over his constituents and hasn’t resigned. What makes them think Vance will?

  3. Republican_Wet_Dream on

    Every single press question to him from now until he dies should hammer him on this.

    “You lied and you knew you were lying? Are you taking responsibility for the collateral damage? Are you a psychopath or just an asshole?”

  4. Trump makes up stories every time he opens his mouth – he should be resigning too….but that’s not happening any time soo 🤷‍♀️

  5. If he actually cared about his constituents’ suffering, he would be able to tell **true** stories.

  6. Nonononono 

    Don’t give Trump an out. 

    He would love to dump this guy. 

    Make sure Vance stays in. 

  7. But…Trump repeated the “story” during his presidential debate! I heard it on tv! It’s true! 

    Also, JD knows there’s only one rules in Trump world – never back down. Ever. 

  8. He is willing to shit on the state he is representing to stroke the ego of his boss. He will sell out America with just as much animosity

  9. No, no, please don’t resign. He’s one of the best things to happen to the dems in this campaign

    What pisses me off is that Sherrod Brown is trying to help and it’s not even HIS mess – and MAGA is all over him on X, saying he “dumped” 20,000 Haitians on the city and this is on him.

  11. If this is indeed true, isn’t he libel if anyone is harmed in any way in connection to this? I’m not a lawyer, but it seems to be if he creates the circumstance, he can be held accountable by law.

    Any thoughts?

  12. I had flipped over to CNN right in the middle of this & I was like…what just happened here…

    There are many things that will have killed Trump’s chance at winning this election, but I think Vance was a fatal mistake. As we’re seeing now. It’s too late to get rid of him. It’s too late to try to shut him up. He’s stuck with him. And if Trump loses and ends up in prison by next year at this time? I can’t imagine the amount of love letters Vance will be getting. Daily.

  13. This asshole has really ruined his own (and his family’s) life over the last couple of months. Way to continue digging a hole you have no way to ever come out of.

    I don’t want him to resign, he’s doing so much damage to Trump. If Trump chooses a new VP candidate, they might be more attractive.

  15. You all are allowing trumps administration to distract us from talking about their terrible and unpopular policies. Stop falling for it. Stop talking about this pet bullshit. Hammer them on project 2025.

    And replace him with who? Loomer? The whale butcher ? no matter what they do at this point it will be more of a disaster than what they’re dealing with now. However, it will be very entertaining.

  17. I think this whole thing was created so JD can drop out of the election allowing Trump to pick someone who’ll appeal to women.

  18. He didn’t just shit on his own state, he also made a fool out of Trump. I expect that to go over well for him professionally.

  19. It is CRAZY to me that our most anti-immigrant President has an immigrant wife. She would be called Americas first ever immigrant First Lady but I guess they count First Lady Adams who was born literally before Americas Independence in 1776, but hey, facts are facts. 

  20. God, it’s Sunday, the sun hasn’t yet, but both Trump and Vance already being headline-worthy goddamn fools.
