"They censor us, but it doesn't change the truth," he said before telling a whopper of a lie about his mama in a new ad. "Joe Biden's open border is killing Ohioans, with more illegal drugs and more Democrat voters pouring into this country.

"This issue is personal," he added. "I nearly lost my mother to the poison coming across our border. No child should grow up an orphan. I'm J.D. Vance, and I approve this message because whatever they call us, we will put America first."

The only problem here is that he lied. As a nurse, JD Vance's mother stole prescribed medications from her patients, and that was not because of undocumented immigrants. Vance got the community note routine on Xitter.

Let me know how cartel fentanyl got into our medical supply and then I'll be concerned. Til then, go defend fascists somewhere else.

I don't give a single fuck about fascists. I care about fucking addicts. Pretending she only took prescriptions she stole and never interacted with anything else is absurd.

Don't lose your humanity to shit on a fascist.

I'm not losing my humanity, it's an integral part of shitting on fascists. This fuck head's solution to the fentanyl crisis is to kick out and lock out immigrants. The vast majority of people caught smuggling fentanyl are US citizens. Explain how stirring racist tensions is gonna fix that.

That solution is both useless and insane. Also horrendous. Not gonna defend that.

We don't need to misunderstand addiction and how opiate addicts work to stunt on cunts.

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!
