    JD Vance reiterates false claim

    JD Vance lied. Saying things you know aren’t true isn’t “reiterating false claims” it’s fucking lying. Stop giving these assholes cover.

    Trump lies.

    Vance lies.

    The GOP lies.

    Fox News lies.

    Didn’t the FBI finally find a social media account of the shooter from like 2019 or so and it was full of racism? Hold on. Lemme find that article…

    The Guardian

    Abbate on Tuesday appeared alongside the acting US Secret Service director, Ronald Rowe Jr, before a US Senate panel and said: “In about the 2019, 2020 timeframe, there were over 700 comments posted from this account. Some of these comments, if ultimately attributable to the shooter, appear to reflect antisemitic and anti-immigration themes to espouse political violence and are described as extreme in nature.”

    CNN

    FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate said in a joint Senate hearing that the bureau is working to verify a social media account that appeared to reflect “antisemitic” and “anti-immigration” themes that is believed to be linked to the shooter who attempted to assassinate former President Trump

    That second one is a video.

      Wouldn’t this dude be 15-16 at the time of those posts? That’s a lot of time for a young person to change their views. I know I basically did a 180 from conservative to leftist in that time frame.

      I’m not trying to say he wasn’t right-wing, but using what someone posted when they were in high school as evidence for political motivation 4-5 years later seems flawed to me

        Just reads like your average 15-16 year old’s comments said over the weekend playing Xbox …

    “They couldn’t beat him politically,”

    He’s never won the popular vote, and he lost the second election by a sizable margin in both popular vote (over 7 million more), and the electoral college (74 more electors).

    “so they tried to bankrupt him.”

    Who tried to bankrupt him? How? What are you even referring to? Also, who needs to try to bankrupt a man who has filed bankruptcy for his businesses SIX(!!!) times. Nobody could be more successful at bringing Trump to bankruptcy than himself and his stupid business decisions.

    “They failed at that, so they tried to impeach him.”

    Didn’t try. Succeeded. Twice. Failed only to convict him and remove him from office a few months early. And that was only because the spineless partisan GOP Senators refused to hold him to account and protected the traitor.

    "They failed at that, so they tried to put him in prison.”

    That sentencing hearing is still on the horizon, Vancy-pants. I’m not holding my breathe for any real jail time myself, but I wouldn’t be counting my eggs before they hatch either. And while that documents case is delayed… if you don’t make it into office so he can pardon himself like the weird bitch he is, you will almost certainly see more convictions in the future. That presidential immunity you’re counting on doesn’t do shit for the illegal actions he took after leaving office, dumbass.

    “They even tried to kill him.”

    Don’t even need to refute this one. You better hope that all Trump’s enemies don’t come for blood though… he has made quite a lot of those and makes more every day.
