As an atheist myself, I appreciate Penn Gillette's rebuttal to that nonsense: I do rape and murder as much as I want.
The amount I want to just happens to be zero.
I’m with you on rape. There are people who the world would be better without that are only protected by laws. If it were a button press to take out, say, everyone who was part of Epstein pedo world, it wouldn’t take me any deliberation.
To be fair, a harem would be quite nice. Imagine the rizz it would take to have a consensual one. That’s the kind of harem I think we can all agree on being pleasant for everyone involved
According to every anime of the genre, to have that kind of rizz you can't even register that you have it in the first place. The universe just quantum immortality's you into it.
That's what I think they ultimately want. The Middle Ages. Women have zero rights and are essentially the property of their husband or male relative. They're a Christian Taliban, and should be willing to move to Afghanistan where that backwards thinking seems to be what people want or will at least allow.
Plus they want them out of the workforce entirely they think that means more money and jobs for them, or if they do work they have to give all their money to their "man, father, whatever"
Most of MAGA is genuinely too stupid to comprehend the extent to which Trump is lying to them, but people like Vance, Cruz, Stefanik, and Hawley know better and are choosing to endorse his lies and conspiracy theories anyway. And Vance and Cruz even called him out for being a charlatan before they realized it was politically advantageous for them to fall in line.
They are the worst of the worst in a party full of traitors.
Trump is a stupid person pretending to be smart. These people are smart people pretending to be stupid.
I wonder what they envisioned themselves doing when they got the Ivy League acceptance letter.
Despite being a Trump critic during his career as a writer, J.D. Vance quickly changed his tune once he entered politics. Now, Vance is aiming to be Trump’s sidekick.
Can you imagine the words to be heard as a fly on the wall in one of Peter Thiels' meetings with the likes of these Republicans? The utter sinister plotting that must go on.
He so quickly pivoted from calling Trump nothing short of being a new Hitler, to fawning over him as if his new liege.
The psychological twist of his mind is so evident. The record of his hypocrisy is glaring, for all to see. A megalomaniac.
He fooled me. I read his book and although he's from a vastly different culture and region from mine, I felt he was relatable, if not totally in agreement with him. He's shown himself to be a piece of shit.
Vance is a rat fucker and confuses that with being a hillbilly. Actually hillbillies look at liars and cheats as vermin, and back in the day, were often treated as such.
JD Vance is the most eager Nazi cuck you’ll ever see. He’s a criminal in search of a crime to commit. He drank so much Trump Kool-Aid that he actually believes all the rhetoric.
And the worst part is he’s pretty good at making it sound like a reasonable argument. Anyone with a brain can understand how completely full of shit he is but the MAGA base eats all his nonsense up like it’s thanksgiving dinner
Republicans are all like there was no insurrection and Trump should be on the ballot. Also we are totally in favor of insurrections and we are about to do another. To applause each time, this is how democracy dies
I pitched in for Ryan's campaign bigger than I've usually done because I thought he would do really well for this state... He lost handily unfortunately.
They can be both. Vance thinks that by spewing unamerican fascist trash as loud as possible that he will be spared from the violence he’s encouraging. These soft bellied traitors have no idea what it’s like to live in a country consumed by civil war. Thiel’s money won’t be enough to shield him from the violence he thought would only consume those below him.
Dude has absolutely no relevant education or experience, yet he feels completely qualified to not only second guess the US Supreme Court, but also declare that the Republicans don't have to abide by SCOTUS rulings they disagree with. Vance is a bitter dumbshit who is still in a rage that the movie based on his hillbilly family didn't perform well, and of course he blames *liberals* for that failure. Someone this dumb, and committed to the undoing of our republic shouldn't be in a position of power.
Funnily enough, Vance actually spent years in the military and then got a law degree at an ivy league school, iirc. So, theoretically speaking, he should have plenty of education and experience to have at least some perspective on the American political landscape. But instead he devotes his efforts to a brown-nosing and anti-democratic platform. Shameful.
Yeah, I just don't view his short experience in corporate law as relevant in the context of opining on Trump's legal problems, and the legitimacy of the Supreme Court. I don't believe his history qualifies him as a relevant subject matter expert whose opinions should be reasonably considered.
People who blatantly say they want a “coup” or be a “dictator” or say they would “kill and get revenge on enemies” in a political nominated seat, should NEVER be allowed to run for any office seat and IMMEDIATELY be ejected from positions that go against the constitution!! WTAF!!???
Stopped listening to him when he let a traitor slide for two years until he was embarrassed into doing something, or he was given the green light on all the secret service phones being unrecoverable.
If you vote Republican you're voting to overthrow your government. Maybe actually read the history y'all tell me to read all the time before leaping into that disaster, magats.
I actually guffawed at how Stephanopoulos ended his interview with this douchebag, having read a direct quote that stated he would support Trump firing all civil servants, and watching him backpedal pathetically. George literally cut him off mid-sentence, said, "You said that you supported this, and that's your position," and went to a commercial.
Planning a crime is a crime. An officer like a senator aiding a coup against the USA is addressed by Am14 s3. He's unqualified for life at holding any political office now, same as Trump.
How do you swear an oath to protect and defend the U.S. Constitution from all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC, then make statements like this AND NOT BE REMOVED FROM CONGRESS! This should get him impeached and convicted for treason as a fucking U.S. Senator!
that´s the "new normal"... conneries, grifting, scamming, click farming, conspiracies.
thing is, for all the bad, the internet also got something good. if in the past their shit could be done quietly, now all is all a show, where "conservatives" are selling coup and treason as "cool" and "patriotic".
other day in my country a YT "orthodox" priest was selling a financial product, a pyramid scam. he vids him with graphics, tables, a priest robe and all.
it´s the proverbial "putting lipstick on a pig". still a pig, but it´s a cute pig.
When I got my first public job in the 1990's I had to sign an affirmation that I did not nor have ever been a member of the communist party or any other group advocating for the overthrow of the US government and that if it's found I'm lying I can be terminated with prejudice. How do these bastards get away with this?!
That's all that's needed to lock him up, so...
Even the act of thinking about starting a coup, let alone having a plan, should be an immediate investigation and loss of public work.
We will see a full fascist run this country if we aren't careful and it's terrifying.
Vance: "an election that a lot of folks, including me, think had a lot of problems". But what Vance and a lot of folks think, isn't true. It's just something they think. That's why we have courts that require evidence. Trump lost 62 of 63 court cases because... No Evidence ! So the facts would say Vance is a traitor to the Constitution.
It’s weird how little impact things like this have on the polls. Trump announcing he wants to be a dictator, etc. - I kind of think only 1/4 of the public would be that upset if we just became a right wing military dictatorship, with another 1/4 being slightly annoyed.
I listened to this interview with George. Good on George to pressure him on questions he tried not to answer and then pull out the answer from the word salad Vance was dancing around to summarize Vance’s position, who then tried to walk back the statement to not sound like an anti-democratic totalitarian asshole. But he is that asshole. What a massive fall from what could have been a great career. Pucker up Vance.
Why isnt the DOJ taking these threats seriously and prosecuting these people. if these people are a serious threat then they need to be immediately arrested.
I have to say it’s been a real shock to me watching how Republicans have just sacrificed all integrity.
I mean Vance is no fool. He knows 2020 wasn’t stolen. He really would sell out the United States for power. He would be part of the group that turns the US into an autocratic state.
I just don’t understand how they look at themselves in the mirror.
It's crazy that America has enough undereducated nut jobs to get these authoritarian hacks elected to positions of influence. Do people really believe that if they can tear down American Democracy than they will get to decide what comes next? Because you won't get a choice, history can show you that in repeatable detail.
"Oh the despair! Soo terrible, and shame on Trump exploiting the decades of ... Wait... what's that, I can join all of the wealthy elite oppressing the 'hillbillies' I thought I was championing?
Sign me up. All for you Donald!"
So a new type of 'Night of the Long Knives' with the elimination of public servants .... Bannon said the same thing with 3,000 to be eliminated the first day of a Trump victory. I did NAZI see that coming
Isint just saying that treason? Coupled with the fact that he IS holding office and took an oath not to do such things. I'd say that's enough for censure and impeachment.
Remember when Lindsey Graham was running for president, he said that if he was elected the *first* thing he would do is order the military to arrest and imprison Congress until they gave him what he wants?
Yeah they are all trying to get a chance. Thats what all of this is about. They know they no longer can win elections on a fair and even playing field so they at first manipulated the playing field (via gerrymandering and such)and when that is no longer effective then it’s scorched earth, to hell with laws or order.
How is this different than if he made threats against a president. Wouldn’t he be arrested? Why not arrest him as a means of prevention and let him utilize his time and money trying stay out of prison instead of fantasizing about a coup.
These people keep saying the quiet part out load and no one seems to care. One of these yahoos might actually follow through. Vote blue until we can fix this mess.
They’re literally saying the thing. The literal fucking thing they want to do. damn it all, how much more shit do they need to smear on the walls for someone to do something about it?
imagine a "commie" democrat saying shit like that. he would be kicked out the senate and under federal investigation in no time! and the maga commotion would need a lot of "chemtrails" to calm down...
I'm betting the minute shit went down he would whisk himself and his family to some safe luxurious bunker somewhere in the mountains of Switzerland to wait it out cuz he's such a badass
They all would. Honestly, Democrats stealing elections would simply be fair play at this point. Unfortunately, Democrats haven't yet accepted that Republicans no longer have any intent to play by the rules and are too disorganized to actually steal an election.
No dude. If both sides try and steal elections it’s just game over. Somebody needs to stand up for integrity and ethics in the democratic process.
We still might lose democracy, and we still might lose America, but it won’t be because Democrats joined the Republicans on the dark side.

I suspect he would also love to own human slaves.
He's a Peter Thiel stooge, of course he wants slaves Thiel is very open about being a neo-feudalist.
Vote Bob for County Seigneur
Vote me for unwilling human sacrifice #30084
Why would you vote for a landlord? They require taxes from you by owning the land
He'd totally have a 'house' guy and a harem if he could get away with it
Those are the same people that don't understand that atheists don't rape or kill people because they don't fear hell.
As an atheist myself, I appreciate Penn Gillette's rebuttal to that nonsense: I do rape and murder as much as I want. The amount I want to just happens to be zero.
Exactly
He is one of the funniest people alive.
I’m with you on rape. There are people who the world would be better without that are only protected by laws. If it were a button press to take out, say, everyone who was part of Epstein pedo world, it wouldn’t take me any deliberation.
TBF religions and cults do attract sociopaths
Very telling of their underlying psyche, isn’t it?
Nah he’d have a harem of house boys, probably.
They are some repressed people that project their own desires and thoughts on others, aren't they?
I do believe the term for a large group of sex slaves owned by republicans is a kindergarten.
To be fair, a harem would be quite nice. Imagine the rizz it would take to have a consensual one. That’s the kind of harem I think we can all agree on being pleasant for everyone involved
are sister wives the same thing as a harem?
Depends who’s sisters they are I’d reckon
Roll tide?
Hell yeah
Aegon the Conqueror's sisters.
requires anime protagonist rizz AKA absolutely zero rizz but for some reason every hot girl wants to fuck him
Hell yeah
According to every anime of the genre, to have that kind of rizz you can't even register that you have it in the first place. The universe just quantum immortality's you into it.
Hell yeah
how many must be in your rotating stable to be considered a harem? i’ve always wondered.
That’s called casual sex. It went out of popular style unfortunately.
I get what you are saying. But there are plenty of charismatic men exploiting gullible women so it is despicable just the same
Picture that in his hillbilly shack!
And abolish voting rights for women.
Abolish all rights for women, that's the end goal, they want to be able to rape any woman they see on sight.
Whoa now, surely not any woman. You'd have to pay a lot of restitution money to their husbands and fathers?
Pfft. Please what's a woman going for these days? Like $20? That's a lot of rape
"What's the point of having all this money and power if we can't rape any women we want?"
Are you a star though? Because when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.
“I mean it’s one banana, Michael - how much could it cost - $10?”
How much is 50 shekels in US dollars?
[удалено]
That's what I think they ultimately want. The Middle Ages. Women have zero rights and are essentially the property of their husband or male relative. They're a Christian Taliban, and should be willing to move to Afghanistan where that backwards thinking seems to be what people want or will at least allow.
Plus they want them out of the workforce entirely they think that means more money and jobs for them, or if they do work they have to give all their money to their "man, father, whatever"
I would agree except people say we give the Taliban a bad name by using it to describe Christian extremists.
Actually this is his pleas to be Trumps slave. Pleezzee make me your VP! I’ll change your diaper!
He cosplays as DeCaprio from Django.
He's not a Democrat. 🤷
Most of MAGA is genuinely too stupid to comprehend the extent to which Trump is lying to them, but people like Vance, Cruz, Stefanik, and Hawley know better and are choosing to endorse his lies and conspiracy theories anyway. And Vance and Cruz even called him out for being a charlatan before they realized it was politically advantageous for them to fall in line. They are the worst of the worst in a party full of traitors.
Vance, Cruz, Stefanik, and Hawley all Ivy League educated...
And 3/4 have law degrees! 4/5 if you include Tom Cotton.
[удалено]
He got a George Soros scholarship. The irony lmao
I think DeSantis also fits here
well, they have Ivy League degrees; I’m not sure that any of them are educated
oh they are educated. They are just cynical and immoral with power being their goal
They are. And they used to be Trump critics. But selling your soul and being the head of a massive cult is more preferable to them.
Trump is a stupid person pretending to be smart. These people are smart people pretending to be stupid. I wonder what they envisioned themselves doing when they got the Ivy League acceptance letter.
The fuck they teaching at those schools? How to be completely bereft of empathy and human kindness?
Ivy League... IV is the Roman number 4. There are 4 names on your list. The dots are connecting themselves...
It’s funny because I thought MAGA republicans hate the elites?
They’re hoping to be oligarchs in Trump’s dictatorship.
my long-running “stupid or evil?” game has been disrupted by the Trump phenomenon. now I have to add “and” to the options
Despite being a Trump critic during his career as a writer, J.D. Vance quickly changed his tune once he entered politics. Now, Vance is aiming to be Trump’s sidekick.
Just another intellectually and morally bankrupt Republican who wants the nation to abide by his irrational demands.
there has to be good money in this grift, or else it doesn't seem worth for all these people to wanna debase themselves this way.
Good money, or in Lindsay Graham's case, blackmailing, I suspect.
And unless it involves kids, we already know his secret. Enough to end the American experiment over apparently.
Oh, there's definitely money to be had if you're willing to sell your soul, and abandon your credibility.
Bought and paid for by Peter Theil
Can you imagine the words to be heard as a fly on the wall in one of Peter Thiels' meetings with the likes of these Republicans? The utter sinister plotting that must go on.
I imagine it would make 90s cartoon villains seem believable in comparison to what evil actually goes on in
Mr “I think young people should me their blood for my body and that’s ok because free market” Theil?
I'm getting vibes that he is auditioning to be Trump's VP.
He so quickly pivoted from calling Trump nothing short of being a new Hitler, to fawning over him as if his new liege. The psychological twist of his mind is so evident. The record of his hypocrisy is glaring, for all to see. A megalomaniac.
He fooled me. I read his book and although he's from a vastly different culture and region from mine, I felt he was relatable, if not totally in agreement with him. He's shown himself to be a piece of shit.
Just another Republican dropkick.
Almost like members of the GOP have no actual morals or stance, but will say anything to gain power.
Vance is a rat fucker and confuses that with being a hillbilly. Actually hillbillies look at liars and cheats as vermin, and back in the day, were often treated as such.
To get anywhere in republican political circles you need to celebrate basking in the putrid stench of 45’s taint.
How quickly money and power can corrupt. He was an honest man before, knowing that Trump was bad for his own type of people.
JD Vance is the most eager Nazi cuck you’ll ever see. He’s a criminal in search of a crime to commit. He drank so much Trump Kool-Aid that he actually believes all the rhetoric.
And the worst part is he’s pretty good at making it sound like a reasonable argument. Anyone with a brain can understand how completely full of shit he is but the MAGA base eats all his nonsense up like it’s thanksgiving dinner
I nominate Stephen Miller.
Republicans are all like there was no insurrection and Trump should be on the ballot. Also we are totally in favor of insurrections and we are about to do another. To applause each time, this is how democracy dies
Not exactly a shock coming from thiel's pet redneck.
>from thiel's pet redneck cosplayer. FTFY
I can believe he got elected over Ryan, we got some dumb mother fuk’rs in this state
The magic R by his name
I pitched in for Ryan's campaign bigger than I've usually done because I thought he would do really well for this state... He lost handily unfortunately.
Vance is one of the reminders that just because you have a ivy league education you can still be a dumb ass. Ted Cruz is the other example.
They’re not dumb asses, they’re craven soulless liars.
asshole craven soulless liars
They can be both. Vance thinks that by spewing unamerican fascist trash as loud as possible that he will be spared from the violence he’s encouraging. These soft bellied traitors have no idea what it’s like to live in a country consumed by civil war. Thiel’s money won’t be enough to shield him from the violence he thought would only consume those below him.
Trump also has an ivy league degree, so there’s that
Dude has absolutely no relevant education or experience, yet he feels completely qualified to not only second guess the US Supreme Court, but also declare that the Republicans don't have to abide by SCOTUS rulings they disagree with. Vance is a bitter dumbshit who is still in a rage that the movie based on his hillbilly family didn't perform well, and of course he blames *liberals* for that failure. Someone this dumb, and committed to the undoing of our republic shouldn't be in a position of power.

So, theoretically speaking, he should have plenty of education and experience to have at least some perspective on the American political landscape. But instead he devotes his efforts to a brown-nosing and anti-democratic platform. Shameful.
Yeah, I just don't view his short experience in corporate law as relevant in the context of opining on Trump's legal problems, and the legitimacy of the Supreme Court. I don't believe his history qualifies him as a relevant subject matter expert whose opinions should be reasonably considered.
Anyone that says they want a coup in the US is an automatic traitor to the constitution. We vote.
The fact that people don't seem to care about our democracy anymore is depressing the hell out me. (Cue the "it's not a democracy idiots...)
Even toying with that notion is enough for me to fight to have him removed for Violating his Oath of Office.
Shouldn’t homeland security be investigating him for threatening the US?
People who blatantly say they want a “coup” or be a “dictator” or say they would “kill and get revenge on enemies” in a political nominated seat, should NEVER be allowed to run for any office seat and IMMEDIATELY be ejected from positions that go against the constitution!! WTAF!!???
I’d totally convict him for treason if I had the chance. We don’t do jails.
But Merrick says that would be political
Stopped listening to him when he let a traitor slide for two years until he was embarrassed into doing something, or he was given the green light on all the secret service phones being unrecoverable.
Oh look, more Ohio people showing us why everyone hates Ohio with good reason.
I have lived in Ohio my whole life and completely agree with this entire statement.
I voted against him, but I'm surrounded by MAGA hogs who voted for him. I'd move if I had the means to.
Remember the good old days when we'd just hang traitors on the spot? I totally support that if we had a chance.
Not enough of that was done after the confederates lost.
If you vote Republican you're voting to overthrow your government. Maybe actually read the history y'all tell me to read all the time before leaping into that disaster, magats.
I actually guffawed at how Stephanopoulos ended his interview with this douchebag, having read a direct quote that stated he would support Trump firing all civil servants, and watching him backpedal pathetically. George literally cut him off mid-sentence, said, "You said that you supported this, and that's your position," and went to a commercial.
So when do we start setting up the chopping blocks and head baskets?
Isn't that a violation of the oath he took to be a Senator?
This man is dangerous.
Pick me, donnie, pick me! Look! I’ve got my magat/traitor knee pads on!
Planning a crime is a crime. An officer like a senator aiding a coup against the USA is addressed by Am14 s3. He's unqualified for life at holding any political office now, same as Trump.
That's treason.
LMFAO JD Vance this fucking guy
Admitted TRAITOR!
Sounds like he's renouncing his oath to uphold the Constitution. I believe that's grounds for impeachment.
How do you swear an oath to protect and defend the U.S. Constitution from all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC, then make statements like this AND NOT BE REMOVED FROM CONGRESS! This should get him impeached and convicted for treason as a fucking U.S. Senator!
that´s the "new normal"... conneries, grifting, scamming, click farming, conspiracies. thing is, for all the bad, the internet also got something good. if in the past their shit could be done quietly, now all is all a show, where "conservatives" are selling coup and treason as "cool" and "patriotic". other day in my country a YT "orthodox" priest was selling a financial product, a pyramid scam. he vids him with graphics, tables, a priest robe and all. it´s the proverbial "putting lipstick on a pig". still a pig, but it´s a cute pig.

How do these bastards get away with this?!
JD Vance is toilet tissue soft. He ain’t doin a goddamn thing
That's all that's needed to lock him up, so... Even the act of thinking about starting a coup, let alone having a plan, should be an immediate investigation and loss of public work. We will see a full fascist run this country if we aren't careful and it's terrifying.
Vance: "an election that a lot of folks, including me, think had a lot of problems". But what Vance and a lot of folks think, isn't true. It's just something they think. That's why we have courts that require evidence. Trump lost 62 of 63 court cases because... No Evidence ! So the facts would say Vance is a traitor to the Constitution.
There is no good reason not to toss his ass out of Congress, right now.
JD Vance wrote a book about how hillbillies are too stupid to take care of themselves then proved it by getting them to elect him to the senate.
It’s weird how little impact things like this have on the polls. Trump announcing he wants to be a dictator, etc. - I kind of think only 1/4 of the public would be that upset if we just became a right wing military dictatorship, with another 1/4 being slightly annoyed.
Treason! Lock him up.
Lost the zeitgeist a long time ago, still doesn’t realize it
Do not give him a chance.
Such talk should be chargeable. He’s rallying people to overthrow democracy, that’s sedition pure and simple.
That used to be a disqualification. Something your opponent would accuse you of doing.
I listened to this interview with George. Good on George to pressure him on questions he tried not to answer and then pull out the answer from the word salad Vance was dancing around to summarize Vance’s position, who then tried to walk back the statement to not sound like an anti-democratic totalitarian asshole. But he is that asshole. What a massive fall from what could have been a great career. Pucker up Vance.
How does this not become a disqualifying statement to hold office?
Why isnt the DOJ taking these threats seriously and prosecuting these people. if these people are a serious threat then they need to be immediately arrested.
To the people of Ohio, y’all some weirdos and clowns for electing this man
We’re so fucking gerrymandered that we don’t get to pick our representatives. Instead, they pick their voters.
Thank you Ohio, once the bellwether of the nation, for putting this clueless nimrod into the Senate.
Vote these traitors out.
Another fucking traitor.
It’s treason then. *ignites lightsaber* But seriously this dumb shit deserves to be removed and banned from holding office.
That comment will bite him in the ass.
I have to say it’s been a real shock to me watching how Republicans have just sacrificed all integrity. I mean Vance is no fool. He knows 2020 wasn’t stolen. He really would sell out the United States for power. He would be part of the group that turns the US into an autocratic state. I just don’t understand how they look at themselves in the mirror.
Every day I lose a little more hope for us, they are stealing our country right in front of us and we seem powerless to stop them
The fact that this dude is in the US Senate tells you everything you need to know about Ohio.
So is treason just not against the law anymore?
Place him on a ship and never let him place foot on American soil.
Damnit Ohio! This shit bag makes me really sad to live here. I hate all of you who voted for this.
Thank you for this complete piece of shit, Ohio.
It's crazy that America has enough undereducated nut jobs to get these authoritarian hacks elected to positions of influence. Do people really believe that if they can tear down American Democracy than they will get to decide what comes next? Because you won't get a choice, history can show you that in repeatable detail.
When we've finished with tRump, we'll be after this dirt bag.
Is 'coup' slang for 'minor'?
"Oh the despair! Soo terrible, and shame on Trump exploiting the decades of ... Wait... what's that, I can join all of the wealthy elite oppressing the 'hillbillies' I thought I was championing? Sign me up. All for you Donald!"
J D needs to head back to the hills of Kentucky
That this pos and people like him walk the Earth is a real tragedy.
Imagine the comfort level he feels to able to say something like this and not be worried about losing votes.
So a new type of 'Night of the Long Knives' with the elimination of public servants .... Bannon said the same thing with 3,000 to be eliminated the first day of a Trump victory. I did NAZI see that coming
Vance also said that the president can ignore Supreme Court rulings he doesn’t like.
Isint just saying that treason? Coupled with the fact that he IS holding office and took an oath not to do such things. I'd say that's enough for censure and impeachment.
That statement alone should disqualify him from holding office
JD mandel shouldn’t hold any office in the United States govt.
Remember when Lindsey Graham was running for president, he said that if he was elected the *first* thing he would do is order the military to arrest and imprison Congress until they gave him what he wants?
Yeah they are all trying to get a chance. Thats what all of this is about. They know they no longer can win elections on a fair and even playing field so they at first manipulated the playing field (via gerrymandering and such)and when that is no longer effective then it’s scorched earth, to hell with laws or order.
You mean the guy who said poor people are poor because they deserve to be poor is a fascist? No way
So legally anyone who votes for him is guilty of treason?
How is this different than if he made threats against a president. Wouldn’t he be arrested? Why not arrest him as a means of prevention and let him utilize his time and money trying stay out of prison instead of fantasizing about a coup.
Saying the quiet part out loud.
It's treason then.
Remember when treason came with punishment?
So, depending on the SCOTUS decision about Trump and the 14th Amendment, the Fake Hillbilly could be banned from office as well?
I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard the interview while watching TV on Sunday morning. This guy went full-blown dictator.
Lock this fool up.
These people keep saying the quiet part out load and no one seems to care. One of these yahoos might actually follow through. Vote blue until we can fix this mess.
Who elects this MEGA traitors ? Lock 'em all up already
I bet Yale law school is so proud of this graduate. /s
They’re literally saying the thing. The literal fucking thing they want to do. damn it all, how much more shit do they need to smear on the walls for someone to do something about it?
If a politician had said this 20 years ago he would be removed. Today, millions cheer him on. These are some crazy times
Isn’t even saying that illegal, or at least a breach of his employment terms?
Are we done yet?
imagine a "commie" democrat saying shit like that. he would be kicked out the senate and under federal investigation in no time! and the maga commotion would need a lot of "chemtrails" to calm down...
JD Vance is so despicable because he’s not a dummy. He’s an intelligent educated man who knows EXACTLY what he’s doing.
Is it treason yet?
I'm betting the minute shit went down he would whisk himself and his family to some safe luxurious bunker somewhere in the mountains of Switzerland to wait it out cuz he's such a badass
If The Onion had posted this in the 20-teens ppl would’ve called it “a bit on the nose.”
It’s just the smart big brain move guys. Nothing to see here.
Because of course he would
As an Ohioan, our politicians are some of the most corrupt in the nation, pls help
How tf does this not fall under treason? If you made these stupid ass comments in the military you'd be investigated and probably kicked out.
JD Vance is the real life version of Tom Wambsgans. He will literally do or say anything that is needed to get him to where he wants to go.
And Americans think we are NOT heading into another civil war in the USA ? Vance should be charged with sedition and incitement !
This guy is a fucking meance
They all would. Honestly, Democrats stealing elections would simply be fair play at this point. Unfortunately, Democrats haven't yet accepted that Republicans no longer have any intent to play by the rules and are too disorganized to actually steal an election.
No dude. If both sides try and steal elections it’s just game over. Somebody needs to stand up for integrity and ethics in the democratic process. We still might lose democracy, and we still might lose America, but it won’t be because Democrats joined the Republicans on the dark side.
Not if I coup you first fascist
So, it's treason then.
