With how hard Republicans project, I assume dog was served at the RNC.
Well, maybe at the after party. RFK was hosting,
They're all butthurt about people getting up in arms at the South Dakota governor/VP hopeful.
Not just dog—abducted pet dogs.
Eating pets, vudu, nastiest country in the western hemisphere, cults, slapstick gangsters...
That's literally Louisiana.

our President and VP
Election isn’t until November, dumbass.
That’s the thing, they still don’t think he lost 4 years ago. In their minds, he’s still the president.
Then he shouldn't be running again. Not that it matters to them....
That tracks, republicans have a long history of being wrong about easily verifiable facts.
They have concepts of a plan of a president.
Okay, well, Vance was never VP.
The only thing Trump has done for Republicans is give them the confidence to be openly racist in public.
That's really all they ever wanted, seeing how ravenously they support him
Oh, they fucking love not having to pretend to be decent human beings any more. As long as he enables that, he has their undying loyalty.

Epic POS. Louisiana, do better.
That would require resurrecting Sherman.
Sherman said "You must become the reconstruction you want to see in the south".
Gerrymandering prevents that
Citizen initiated ballot measure for a bipartisan drawn district map has helped fix that in other states. Definitely not easy but fixable.
These white, Republican congressmen are wild. Cocaine fueled bingers, sex trafficking, Christofascism. Rape and disease. Nastiest leaders in the free world. Cults, wannabe gangsters. But damn if they don't feel emboldened now, attacking anyone they can.
Nice of them to keep going mask off in the last month.
The fact that their polls aren't tanking is a very bad sign for our democracy.
Yeah because it doesn't matter. Republicans are a coin flip to win the house, win the presidency, and are already likely to win the senate. Why would they stop being awful?
Moral consternation on the left doesn't change the fact that half the country appreciates and endorses this kind of rhetoric. And the party that makes these comments is quite possibly going to run all three branches of government in a few months and already run the Supreme Court.
We're losing. In many respects, we've already lost. We're just going to lose more.
Defeatism is the first step towards losing. Personally, even if you assume that will happen, I'd suggest looking up guns that use NATO standard ammunition and getting some practice in while you still can.
"I can put up another controversial post tomorrow if you want me to. I mean, we do have freedom of speech. I’ll say what I want… It’s not a big deal to me. It’s like something stuck to the bottom of my boot. Just scrape it off and move on with my life.”
— Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA), quoted by CNN, digging in after deleting a post calling Haitian migrants “thugs” and “slapstick gangsters.”
Surprised he didn't call them uppity. Racist pos.
He did, in different words. Saying they "feel all sophisticated now" means the same thing.
The Venn Diagram of Racist and repubs would be a circle with a slightly smaller circle inside it.
Not all repubs are racist, but damn if all racists are repubs. And yes, libertarians are included as repubs
That's because "libertarians" these days are just Republicans with a small sense of shame, or they wanna smoke weed.
I'm sure there are a bunch of apolitical racists. Racists tend to be pretty dumb, and dumb people often think politics doesn't affect them.
Weird racist motherfuckers. The entire lot.
It's voodoo, not vudu, you ignorant fuck
Actually he's referring to Vudu, the movie streaming app.
Those damn Haitians renting all the movies...
Actually, the Haitian version would be vodou. Voodoo is a related but distinct tradition that developed in the US.
Ok I'm the ignorant fuck.
You're both right and Higgins is the ignorant fuck. He was definitely referring to the US-developed tradition of voodoo, which is derived from vodou but not the same thing.
Vudu lol.
Who knew they also liked renting movies digitally?
Surprised this is not the onion for once.....
I thought legal immigration was what they wanted.
"Legal immigration" is the foot-in-the-door excuse they use to ban all immigration.
Just like how "returning abortion to the states" is trying to "ban abortion nationally."
Ah, I see the source of your confusion and I’m happy to help clear it up! The mistake you made was believing a single word that comes out of the mouth of a Republican.
Hope this helps.
What a complete wankstain
