JD Vance attempts to justify spreading lies about Haitians eating pets in Springfield, Ohio:

“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”

Summary: Vance says the thing quoted above. Dana Bash catches him on it and the pause in the conversation is stunning.

1. "If we have to create stories about couch-fucking so the American media pays attention

to how gobsmackingly weird JD Vance is, then that's what we're going to do."

2. so it's OK to shout "FIRE" in a crowded theater

because they need to start using real butter on the popcorn?

4. No, because they are white, with penises, and both the media & the weirdo/beardo camp serve the same master: pootin

5. We don't even need to go global when we have

Elon and Thiel and Zuck running the country. Putin's just a buddy in the club.

6. Pootin is their role model & mentor

Remember that gop contingent of congress critters who spent the 4th of July in russia?

Guessing pootin was showing them the vast riches acquired by raping his entire country & all citizens of every asset.

They are drooling at the thought of siphoning off the stockpiles of wealth sitting in US institutuons' coffers.

Fuck them. WE ARE NOT GOING BACK!

7. I see it as a global oligarch class

Our most immediate threats are right here, sucking our blood daily. Modi, Putin, Bolsonaro when he was in, all belong to the billionaire club, all sucking the world's blood, along with Musk, Gates, Bezos, Zuck.

Putin would have no influence if the domestic oligarchy didn't invite him in. Just like how you have to invite a vampire in for it to enter.

Stockpiles of wealth in US coffers? They already have it.



Putin's just one of the club, from the next block over.

Time to dehumanize a new group of people who aren't us!"
