Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

JD Vance accused Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) of having “definitely committed immigration fraud” and said that he’d recently spoken with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller about how best to “go after her.”

Speaking on a podcast hosted by MAGA influencer Benny Johnson on Friday, Vance was asked about claims that Omar had defrauded the United States by marrying her brother to secure his legal residency.

The unsubstantiated claim has circulated in MAGA circles for years but has been denied by Omar multiple times. The congresswoman was born in Somalia but moved to Minneapolis with her family in 1997, fleeing the civil war.

Being a whore is legitimate profession. Whatever she is is not.

J. D. Vance and Trump are the kind of people that simply don't deserve to be part of a society, because all they do is evil and selfish.
They should be expelled to live in some remote uninhabited region, and never be allowed back to civilization.
But since we don't have that practice, they are also the kind of people that actually deserve the death penalty, because they have caused mass death of innocent people, contrary to many that have actually received a death penalty.
These people are so despicable that they are no better than serial killers, yet at election day half the voters supported getting such an administration. And still more than a third support them, and the only reason it has declined is because of oil prices going up. All the sociopathic shit they do is OK!

As usual, bullshit has been asked and answered.

tl;dr - her marriages may have been screwed up, but they weren't illegal.

Um.... Melania? Where you at?

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I'd have more respect for Vance if he truly believed the shit he peddled and wasn't simply a cynical liar.

[–] AudaciousArmadillo@piefed.blahaj.zone 30 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Interesting. Odd that they did not go after the Musk rat who admitted to that same offence.

JD Vance definitely fucked a couch. So take that with a grain of salt. They are obviously pushing out to the front because Trump is sun downing hard into deep dementia while burning the country to the ground. No one likes the funny looking little fucker either. Don't forget your mascara you esmaculate douche pretending to be a strong man.

You know, before this current time, I was naive about the depth of hatred I was capable of feeling. She's already been attacked multiple times because of the kind of rhetoric he's spreading here. Like, I understand why they do it.

LBJ:

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

I get it, but I despise them for it, still.
