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

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!

JD Vance accused Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) of having “definitely committed immigration fraud” and said that he’d recently spoken with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller about how best to “go after her.”

Speaking on a podcast hosted by MAGA influencer Benny Johnson on Friday, Vance was asked about claims that Omar had defrauded the United States by marrying her brother to secure his legal residency.

The unsubstantiated claim has circulated in MAGA circles for years but has been denied by Omar multiple times. The congresswoman was born in Somalia but moved to Minneapolis with her family in 1997, fleeing the civil war.

Either he's stupid, or he thinks you're stupid.

And people keep proving him right

Why don’t you start with that South African illegal immigrant who overstayed his visa illegally? Remember what his name was? Elon Musk? Ring a bell?

[–] BillCheddar@lemmy.world 15 points 11 hours ago

And why stop at deporting him?

Use eminent domain to take all his property and businesses, first. Send his ass home with nothing but turned out pockets and that shit-eating Nazi grin of his.

Better go after trumps whore while youre at it

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 39 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Omar is a true American, loyal to her people. The same cannot be said of JD Vance.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 11 points 14 hours ago

And a claim like this isn't something within jurisdiction of the VP I don't believe. So it isn't an official act for him to be making this claim. Therefore suing him directly for libel I would think should be fine.

Remember, Elon Musk was in America on a student visa but working for his brother's company instead of attending school. That's visa fraud, which you're required to disclose on any subsequent visa or citizenship applications. He didn't, so he's also guilty of immigration fraud.

Anyone who runs on seizing his assets and locking that illegal immigrant in a detention facility gets my vote

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 18 points 15 hours ago

Hm, I wonder why one is in danger of being deported and the other isn't 🤔

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 12 points 13 hours ago

JD Vance definitely fucked a couch. So take that with a grain of salt. They are obviously pushing out to the front because Trump is sun downing hard into deep dementia while burning the country to the ground. No one likes the funny looking little fucker either. Don't forget your mascara you esmaculate douche pretending to be a strong man.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

So I hope that she sues JD Couch Lover for slander.

[–] BillCheddar@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

Maybe i'm just cranky because I am old (almost 50) but if I were elected the next President, on Day One, we'd confiscate the wealth of Trump and every one of his buddies and then deport them, penniless, from the United States.

I kinda want to see what a broke-ass JD Couchfucker would do for a living if he were dropped off in Angola with $10 and a maga hat.

Things JD Vance Hates:

  • Brown people
  • Women
  • Muslims
  • Anti-fascists

Ilhan Omar is everything he hates and she is one of the few people in power in the government who actually stands up against tyranny. No surprises here.

Things JD Vance Hates:

  • Brown people

Which is extra weird considering this is his wife:

While we’re at it, I’ve never seen trumps long form birth certificate. Is he even American?

[–] chahn.chris@piefed.social 58 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Never seen any tax returns either, is he even a contributing member of society?

[–] apex32@lemmy.world 29 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

During the 2016 debate, Hillary Clinton called him out on paying no federal taxes some years. His response was, "that makes me smart."

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 13 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

Yeah Republicans loved that. They loved it.

They are all selfish and ignorant. These people are a minority of the American people, yet the largest majority doesn't vote... So the little mean, stupid clique of idiots win, and we get this bullshit.

That majority on the US needs to wake the fuck up. If they don't, we're all fucked. Apathy is destroying this nation.

"Fuck you, I got mine" mentality

[–] TwilitSky@lemmy.world 32 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Threatening to use your office to go after someone for political points should carry penalties.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Being JD Vance should carry penalties. We live in a very unfair fucked world.

[–] TwilitSky@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

There's probably pictures of him in local furniture stores that say "banned!"
