    I don’t know when it’s going to happen but JD Vance’s secret Haitian college boyfriend is going to come out and say something soon.

  2. This guy has to either be a plant that is intentionally sabotaging Trump’s campaign or an absolute fucking moron that is unintentionally sabotaging Trump’s campaign.

  3. Nice to see how easily JD leans into every fascist trope that comes his way, no matter how idiotic

    Honest question. Do they really attempt to locate the smallest, least powerful, most vulnerable group and then purposefully attack and scapegoat them?

  5. I don’t get it. I always expect Trump and Vance to say something racist in the moment. But why are they doubling down on this and why hasn’t their campaign told them to shut up? Alienating the considerable number of Haitians in Florida can’t be a good strategy, right?

    So he is trying to alienate EVERYONE. Starting to think JD’s goal is to tank the campaign.

    We are on the second day of bomb threats in Springfield, Ohio, the state this man represents, and he’s still encouraging the lies that have caused that terrorism to happen

  8. Isn’t this just a rebrand of the migrant caravans story Fox would roll out from time to time? Got to keep things fresh

    See what I mean? Loomer is not the problem with the Republican Party. The Party is the problem.

  10. How in the hell is this a close race? I swear everyone on the Trump side is eating paint chips and watching nazi porn and somehow they are being treated as legit presidential material. How is fucking republican clown car of idiots not laughed out of the room every single time they walk in? How stupid do you have to be to listen to Trump slur and ramble about the sky is falling, look outside and see nothing is near that bad, come back and agree with the idea that Abbie’s are being killed after they are born? Or that billions of people are coming across the border ever day? How do they watch a petty piece of shit demean,sell branded versions of the Bible, claim he’s the best at literally everything and appointed by god, and still go to church and still pretend that hell isn’t waiting for you. I just don’t get it, this is a fucking cartoon with a mustache twirling moron holding the role hostage and half of America says “oh he’s way better than “that woman” while they pretend that their idiotic justification doesn’t have anything to with the fact that they failed as a person and as a us citizen. Maga does not deserve respect. It does not deserve fear. It deserved to be remembered as the time when morons around eh country banded together for the king of the idiots, hell bent on destroying America.

  11. Dude take the L and move on

    Like cmon your wife and sectional are begging you to stop embarrassing them

    Is it 1985? Is he gonna start insisting people with HIV be put into camps? Gay people too?

    I can’t wait to watch Walz vaporize him on stage

  13. You know what would solve the Haitian migrant issue? A wall

    Spread it because I doubt many MAGA folks could point out Haiti on a map.

  14. This is going to get someone hurt, and Trump will “take no responsibility at all”.

    eta:

    *Two Springfield City School District elementary schools were evacuated and a middle school was closed Friday morning after threats against the buildings were made, according to school officials*.

  15. I guess it makes a kind of sick sense that a mediocre white male who has never done a real days work in his life is terrified of people who are willing to travel thousands of miles just for the opportunity to work their ass off for 40+ hours a week. I get why people like Vance are terrified by people like legal Haitian immigrants who just want to work hard.

  16. They are going to get a lot of hatians raped/murdered for their rhetoric.

    This definitely isn’t going to play well with the Black Community in general.

  17. > Collins pressed Vance on his responsibility as a public figure to avoid spreading misinformation. “If someone calls your office and says they saw Bigfoot, that doesn’t mean they saw Bigfoot,” Collins asked. Vance, however, stood firm, responding, “Nobody’s calling my office and saying that they saw Bigfoot. What they’re calling and saying is we are seeing migrants kidnap our dogs and cats.”

    Whoosh

  18. Somehow they pivoted to something even more racist and homophonic. They really do one up each other in the worst ways possible. Vote blue!

  19. What does he have against Haiti? Did a Haitian person microwave fish curry in the office once?

    It used to be “illegals” AND “muslims”. Notice how quickly MAGA went silent as soon as the Saudis started cutting large checks. When was the last time you ever heard Trump rant about banning Muslims from entering the country?

    They are so craven. It’s only about picking on people who cannot defend themselves. The transgender, The migrant. The adherent to different faiths. The Other.

    Disgusts me that it isn’t so obvious to “undecided” voters out there. Seems to me they’re deciding whether to persist in their bigotry.

    Haitian American here—this is exactly what they mean when they say “Eventually, they’ll come for you.” I was born here in the states, busted my ass to get where I’m at, and now I gotta worry about not mentioning my race because it might open up a shitstorm of a political discussion. I never had a problem for 30+ years and now humpty dumpty and his cavity creeps have gone and attacked yet another group of marginalized people.

    Shit sucks man.

  22. As a resident of Springfield, the pet claims didn’t “flop.” We’re still being hit with a wave of online and in-person bat-shittery, with folks trying to “prove” Trump is telling the truth.

    We’re in day two of city-wide bomb and death threats too, which put my wife in danger.

    This isn’t just a wacky thing he said. It’s intentional and it’s evil.
