Now that we’re discussing Laura Lamer and her presumed copulation with Diaper Drump….
What happened to Melanomia, that faded model and speech duplicater that happened to be the official wife? Anyone seen her in the last few months?

On one hand, Melania is a horrible person in her own right. On the other, I don't think any other single person has done more to humiliate and infuriate Cadet Bonespurs.
I liked it when she refused to move to Washington and when she made the White House look like a torture chamber for Christmas.

He knows the base wants him to do so.
Rather than take any ownership of his role in spreading false claims and incendiary rhetoric, Vance recoiled, saying that any suggestion that he’d been responsible for inciting the bomb threats in Springfield was “disgusting.” The Ohio senator scolded Bash for sounding like a “Democratic propagandist” as she called him out on his reckless lying.
Its the utter lack of corporate regulations and accountability that got us here. We need a SEC and DOJ with teeth that are actively pursuing the goal of protecting the American people. And we need our citizens secured, so that all of this foreign influence is less inducing because we are already taking care of them. Fucking hell, I feel like this is obvious. The only problem they are trying to solve here is how to get us to shut up in a way where they can keep their wealth and status.
Opportunists. Human pieces of shit.
There is no lie he won't tell if he thinks it might help him attain personal power
He defends a racist by using a racist statement. And Republicans don't even blink.

Edit: i didn't make it clear enough. This is parody combining the racist shit JD just said with the racist shit Trump said previously. In no way does this reflect my actual viewpoint.
I think many of the people downvoting and/or reporting you (I did both) are aware that you're joking. The problem is that your joke isn't funny. It's wildly offensive and racist.
I get what you're saying, "I don't actually believe the racist stuff I said," but we're concerned with the part of that thought that you're glossing over: racist stuff you said. Probably should just delete your comment.
Just realize that comedy doesn't give you carte blanche to shout racist stereotypes and move on.
Humor wasn't the goal. Making apparent the racism of Vance and Trump's words was. If repeating back the racism someone else used in order to deride them somehow applies that same racist stigma onto me, I would argue that your priorities are misplaced. If I had directly quoted them and cited the quotation would the reaction have been the same? Because it amounts to the same level of disconnect from the words to me. But whatever. Not a hill I care to die on. I'll delete it. Didn't mean to upset anyone.

This is wildly racist, and also full of shit. She went to a historically black university, joined a black sorority, and has always been open about her dual Black/Indian heritage.
Your racist talking points aren't going to land here, fuckhead.
That was meant to be parody exaggerating the racist shit JD just said and combining it with the racist shit Trump said previously. I didn't make that clear enough, clearly. This does not reflect my viewpoint whatsoever.

More than anything else - more than an opportunist or a hypocrite or a liar or a fraud - Vance's primary attribute and defining characteristic really is simply that he's an asshole.
