The lies keep growing. Vance said Wed. that Harris let in "25 million illegal immigrants." The *total* undocumented population = 12 million. Yesterday, Trump claimed "32,000 illegal immigrants" in Springfield. There are 12-15K total immigrants in the entire county. The vast majority are legal. [Donald Trump Rally Uniondale N...]( )
The Kentucky sheriff who just killed a local judge was sued two years ago after one of his deputies forced a woman he’d arrested to have sex with him in the now late judge’s chambers. [www.courier-journal.com/story/news/c...]( ) [Suit alleges Kentucky deputy f...]( )
Trump praised Robinson *after* the recording in which Robinson called for people he disapproves of to be murdered. But the transgender porn will doom him.
Vance and his campaign are trying to move on from pet eating, instead now demanding the media cover “skyrocketing” communicable diseases in Springfield. Except that’s also a xenophobic lie.

Informative thread from a knowledgeable straight shooter. Combs seems like an awful person. But they better have more than Mann Act stuff tied to consensual sex work. RE:
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...]( )
