As soon as some dickhead uses the word "lawfare", I know exactly the kind of person they really are.
Also: JD Vance is not only a creepy weirdo, but a truly awful freak.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

The old rules are over. The old order is over. Accusations are evidence. Activism means bigotry and hate. Criminals are allowed to roam free. Citizens are locked up. An appetite for vengeance is unleashed—to deplatform, debank, destroy.
That's some military grade projection
Seems like it needs a good old fashioned review bombing... https://www.amazon.com/Unhumans-Secret-History-Communist-Revolutions/dp/1648210856
Kinda off-topic but Current Affairs is glorious.
God, the current gen of right wing nut bags is so full of shit about “communism” same as their hero McCarthy.
The older gen Americans, their great grand parents and families basically, ate so, so much social welfare under FDR. The New Deal and its after effects are basically how many middle class Americans made their wealth, and are now upper class or more. So full of shit and hypocritical.
How is such dreck even allowed to be published? Freedom of speech is cool and all but surely this crosses the line?
His own book is pretty interesting too
"I'll never forget the time I convinced myself that I was gay. I was eight or nine, maybe younger, and I stumbled upon a broadcast by some fire-and-brimstone preacher. The man spoke about the evils of homosexuals, how they had infiltrated our society, and how they were all destined for hell absent some serious repenting. At the time, the only thing I knew about gay men was that they preferred men to women. This described me perfectly: I disliked girls, and my best friend in the world was my buddy Bill. Oh no, I'm going to hell."
When he brought up the issue with his grandmother — known to Vance as "Mamaw" — she replied bluntly: "Don't be a fucking idiot, how would you know that you're gay?"
When Vance explained his reasoning, she laughed.
"JD, do you want to suck dicks?" she said, according to the book.
The young Vance, apparently "flabbergasted," said: "Of course not!"
"Then you're not gay. And even if you did want to suck dicks, that would be okay," she replied. "God would still love you."
There’s a guy saying that they went on a date together at an Applebees in high school. Pretty detailed story too.
If you can find that?
But it’s certainly more plausible than the guy who claims to have done coke with Barry, lol. And the details just seem right. It’s not over the top.
It wouldn't surprise me, but we will never know the truth on that one. The lying bigot actually wrote about conversing with Mamaw about sucking dicks in his book. That's pretty weird
"Mamaw, would God still love me if I wanted to fuck the couch?"
We need answers now. Do we need a ouija, or is she still with us?
Some great parenting there...
Damn, I can’t believe I haven’t heard of this before. Truly insane that these people are serious candidates.
Is this an accurate summary of the book? Has anyone read it?
"Unhumans" is straight out of an Orwell novel.
The pizza gate guy was using that exact word in some dumbass rant on his podcast a few weeks ago
I thought the guy writing this was the pizza gate guy.
Dehumanization is right out of the fascist handbook isn’t it.
Hah, remember when they got their knickers all in a twist because Hillary called them deplorable?
Yeah, but THAT's different!

Republicans have never forgiven Communists for the fall of Berlin.
