"If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do."
JD Vance on why it's ok to lie about immigrants if it makes his base like him more. There is no comeuppance great enough for what they're doing, and he knows it. A lot of the base may be too brainwashed, but he can see that he is ruining the country and he not only doesn't care but is reveling in it.
This is so funny because to the people he's pandering to, his children are the dirt in this country.
It's baffling to me that he is in an interracial marriage and is... Fine? With saying this kind of stuff? Idk maybe she is a monster too and it's just cherry picking what is considered bad in their moral compass...
She must be a monster, she married JD Vance.
A few days ago Vance also got really riled up when discussing this kinda stuff. He said something about El Sayed not being the kinda person his hick granpappy would approve of and El Sayed shot back asking if the hick granpappy would approve of his wife. It really set him off, going on about how El Sayed shouldn't bring Vance's family into this. It was kinda funny to watch him squirm.
JD Vance is nothing. He's not evil or stupid or whatever like the other MAGA people. He' just a guy that nobody likes.
Wait, sounds like Vance brought his family into the convo first. The mental gymnastics these sad sacks of shit perform boggles me.
He does that a lot. He tries to sneak in some "veiled' attack or remark and when people call him out for it he says they're attacking him or his family. He's a pathetic little man that thinks is somehow smarter than everyone else.
Here's the article about the El Sayed bit if you wanna see it yourself. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/sep/01/abdul-el-sayed-jd-vance-evil
That's a very common conservative trait: playing victim in situations you caused.

He’s a grifter. James is an ivy leaguer who makes hay about his single mother and “hillbilly roots” while wears eyeliner and pretends to be a tough guy.
It’s no surprise he talks out of both sides of his mouth.

It’s baffling to me that he is in an interracial marriage and is… Fine?
Usha Vance is a very pale skinned, high caste (Brahmin), wealthy migrant who was set up with JD Vance by Yale Law kingmaker Amy Chua.
This was a political marriage in the feudal sense. Vance is married in order to secure a social tie to Indian power brokers, as part of a generations-long effort by American elites to encircle Asia and control their domestic politics.
Same reason why Mitch McConnell married Tiawanese shipping magnet Elaine Chao.
That’s really interesting. Crazy this shit still happens. I guess I’m just not rich enough. And I’m gonna be pedantic, it’s magnate when you’re referring to someone who is a pillar of industry, not magnet 😉
I guess I’m just not rich enough.
This is as much a Yale thing as a Rich thing. Lots of weird freaky Trad types in the Ivy League.

Just because the couch is leather, does not mean he's in an interracial relationship.

Translation: Republicans are tired of being called racist for being racist.

This isn't why they were called racists. They were called racists for claiming that Barack Obama wasn't American, for trying to build a wall to keep out Central and South Americans, and for banning immigration from countries where most people are Muslim.
Let's not forget "they're eating the cats"

What'll probably help you with the racist label is if you stop doing and saying racist things all the time 🤷♂️
The kkk just can't wrap their heads around this.
Counting or not counting gang racism?
Yeah, that's racist.
'I only fuck white couches and sofas'
If it's poorer and dirtier, that's on the majority whites who are overwhelmingly in charge of shit. The quality of the white people has gone down because you don't even have to pretend to be qualified for leadership anymore. Just coast through ivy league or whatever, get in business or politics by nepotism, and then you get to abuse your power indefinitely while you blame minorities for all the problems you ignore while grifting.
Weird. Why does JD tie those two things together in his mind? I mean, if he's not racist?
“We’re tired of being called racist so I’m about to say something racist!”
Racist doesn’t like being called a racist. What kind of rebrand are they asking for, nazimaxxing?
Ok, if you’re not racist, then why do the people who like nazi salutes only march in support of your party?

Whether or not America was "dirtier and poorer" before Trump is immaterial here. Ascribing that to immigrants and people who look like immigrants is racist.
I'm sure they are tired of being called racist, but that doesn't mean it's not true.

The country became poorer and dirtier. Poorer because your billionaire pedo friends were allowed to take everyone’s money. Dirtier because your dotard boss coaxed the deplorables into the sunlight and made himself their king.
Since the orange cancer was elected "our country ~~was~~ has become~~ing~~ dirtier and poorer".
The billionaires are the only group of "welfare queens" making the world a dirtier place.
Such precious little snowflakes.
"Poorer and dirtier" says guy proud to claim that he was raised as white trash.
source: was also raised white trash, but did manage to develop class consciousness.

They only "notice" because they're racist.
He's repeating the same shit that Tucker was saying - Tucker was saying if he or other dumbasses turned fascist, it's because the liberals made them do it.
It's just more DARVO and Murc's Law bullshit.
When Republicans behave badly, it's someone else's fault. If they get even worse, it's because some liberal told them they were behaving badly or called them an appropriate name (racist, fascist, etc.).
They remind me of dogs after you give them a bath when they have gotten really stinky (rolled in something dead, for instance) - right after their bath, they'll run all around, desperate in an attempt to get all dirty again. Republicans are the same way after someone has reprimanded them - they run all around and try to find some shit to roll in.
JD Vance is speaking at a MAGA rally in my area next week.
This please send me your ideas for what I should write on a sign that will make him cry.
"Move a bit to the left. We need a clean shot." Then have a friend with a flash camera take a photo of him.
JUST A PHOTO.
