    These idiots are quadrupling down on it. They really think this is their breakthrough argument and not something that makes them look like gullible morons who ate up a bunch of nazi propaganda? Or is it Trump ordering them to back him up on it so he isn’t the only one looking like a moron?

      It’s worth pointing out that a good portion of the US media is laundering this narrative - straightforward Goebbels shit with zero consequences - only profits, the end of democracy, then a series of genocides if the narrative works.

    This is going to get someone killed. At this point I think they’re actively trying to get someone killed for a news cycle that’s not about how awful Trump is doing.

      That’s exactly what they are trying IMO.

      The debate went so bad, and trump just look old and tired now.

      That loony crazy conspiracy woman sure fits the same narrative too.

      I wonder what’s next, I wouldn’t be surprised by something like JD vince coming out as gay or something just to buzz.

        He’s married with kids, no way he would do that. There will be a lot more doubling down on rascism until the election.

        They aren’t even attacking Kamala directly much anymore, it’s just stochastic terrorism. That’s all the munition they have left.

    These MAGA monsters need to pay for the consequences of their lies. They need to be sued for every last dollar and spend the rest of their lives in jail for the deaths that will occur because of their lies.

        Oh but he will. Trump will put all the blame on Vance. He threw him under the bus during the debate and he’ll do it again.

        Vance will try to be reasonable but forgets he isn’t dealing with reasonable people. Eventually he’ll turn on Trump as a way to cozy up to “normal” Republicans. He’ll get a few TV appearances and then disappear.

        When 2028 comes around he might try to run in the primary but he’ll get stomped on and be one of the first to drop out.

        He’s in the Senate now and that’s where he’ll stay. Maybe he’ll get reelected, but I doubt he’ll be around much longer than that.

          Same way with the old, weak, orange felon. He will wear out his moron base and MAGA will return to being normal people after his final defeat, but with psychological scars for the rest of their lives, much like the former Nazis after Germany was defeated.

            Honestly for big boy I hope so, but don’t know. Assuming he loses this year, and assuming he survives until 2028, I would hope he’d be gone, but I can’t be sure. I assume 2026 midterms will give us a rough idea.

        And even if Ronald McDonald finally gets him, someone’s going to copy this brand of politics and continue this march towards fascism.

          They’ll try, but you need just the right personality to do that. Usually, when the personality at the center dies, the whole thing collapses and goes away for at least a few generations.

    A visual comparison of skinned cats prepared for laboratory use and whole-plucked chickens suggested the animals in the video are almost certainly not feline.

    This is fucked up on so many levels.

      When I took anatomy class in high school we dissected euthanized cats. I’m not sure if they do that anymore but it was standard at the time.

    Obviously the story about Haitians is fake and racist. The real story is that an American woman did get arrested for torturing, killing, and eating a cat in front of other people in Canton, Ohio, which is about 170 miles (~275 km) from Springfield.
    Politifact: Arrest of a Canton, Ohio, woman unrelated to baseless claims about Haitian immigrants in Springfield
    one comment down.

    However, my preferred theory is that JD Vance heard that liberals eat pussy, and the random hateful sentiment generator in his head came up with migrants eating cats.

    It is not a settled matter of law that the protections and rights provided by the Constitution to “the People” extend to non-citizens, even when those non-citizens are legal immgrants with long-standing ties to their community in the United States.

    These people may not have the legal right to defend themselves, verbally or physically. It is entirely possible that the current SCOTUS would deny them the right to free speech; the right to bear arms; the right to be secure against unreasonable search and seizure; the right not to incriminate themselves; the rights to speedy and public trial, an impartial jury, and legal counsel; or the protection from excessive bail and cruel or unusual punishment.

    This is how the threatened “mass deportations” are going to happen, and it will be completely legal. Hell, deportations? They could be executed without trial, and that would still be legal.

      I can speak to the 2A. My wife is a legal immigrant, not a citizen, so I checked around a good deal before getting her a pistol for Christmas.

      She is 100% in the clear to own, carry and defend herself. (This is Florida, YMMV on carry laws.)

        Are you confident that the 11th Circuit or SCOTUS will keep that in place? Are you confident that some fascists won’t arrest and deport her on the basis that she doesn’t have 2A rights, just in order to get it to SCOTUS?

    At first glance, I read the title as “JD Vance shares vid claiming migrants are cats…” and wasn’t surprised in the least.
