The fact that Vance has three biracial kids whose grandparents are immigrants makes his libel more vulgar and repugnant, not less. Eight years ago, he condemned this sort of bigotry. He knows how dangerous it is. He’s just decided that his ambition is more important. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:c7ozmxoc5b2ky4iam2o36uic&cid=bafkreidhmepakbpcpdoy5zb2mrucdiq43bk4o6nx5sztdszlf32v4kdczq
The number of people Trump had said he’ll deport has gone from 15 million to 18, to 20, to 22. There are somewhere between 12 and 15 million undocumented people in the U.S. His promise to deport Haitians who are here legally isn’t an accident.
Working on a piece about Springfield, and the remarkable bit is just how comprehensively wrong Vance has managed to be about all of it. Every word to leave his mouth has been wrong. He also knows this, knows it’s bad for the country, and knows it will get people hurt. He just doesn’t care.
When I was 7, I cut my hair. There was a clear scissor mark where a chunk of my bangs was missing -- plus my hair in the trash. I told my parents I had no idea what happened. I insisted on this for days. I'd locked myself into a story, even though we all knew I was lying. But I was, you know, 7. [JD Vance has heated exchange o...]( )
Looking forward to the polls tomorrow telling us that 58 percent of the country thinks Trump won, 48 percent thinks Trump was more eloquent and had a better tan, and 39 percent thinks Harris butchered and ate a dog on live TV.
Harris should point out that Trump didn’t have the guts to go to the Capitol with his people. It’ll drive him nuts.
Back in the 2000s, this guy used to leave long, unhinged, occasionally racist comments on my blog. Eventually had to ban him. Good to know the state of Tennessee has been paying him to litigate away trans rights. [www.wired.com/story/lawfai...](

Immigrants stealing and eating pets is a racist trope that’s been around for literally more than a century. That at least two US senators, the GOP VP nominee and the world’s richest twit fell for it tells you that they aren’t just bigots, they’re the simplest, dullest variety of bigot.
Imagine being Nikki Haley. You endure all the racism, threats, and hate from running against Trump in the primary, then eat your last shred of dignity and endorse him anyway. Then Dick fucking Cheney comes along and shows how low the bar for moral courage is that you couldn’t clear.
Trump fell into a rage spiral last night, rattling off 50 deranged posts before calling in to Fox and Newsmax and making everyone uncomfortable. Losing to a black woman, in front of the entire world, is going to drive him mad. Savor these moments. [www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...](
