Are Fearful For A Reason
by Noah
I think the only worse thing JD Vance could have added to his quote above during Tuesday's debate would have been:
And I was promised couches! Not podiums! Couches! Nice soft, warm couches!
OK, not the worst; just bein' snarky. Snarky with a point, but snarky. Just the fact that JD Vance has gotten as far as he has and was there representing his party of assorted nazis, domestic terrorists, willful pandemic spreaders, and other red-hatted knuckle-dragging goons is horrific enough and quite an indictment of us as a people. JD Vance, his Dear Leader, and the people who hang on their every word show us how low we have sunk and they'll never stop there. I bet Vance has been very regretful since the end of the debate that he just didn't feel free to spew out all the garbage that goes through his sociopathic brain 24 hours per day. Actually, there's a lot more to know about JD Vance, including his love for the traitor schemes of Pro-Dictator Movement guys like Curtis Yarvin.
Special reverse kudos go to CBS, who, despite entreaties from the public, decided that live on the screen fact checking would be bad, more than especially bad for JD Vance. Right there with that decision, CBS, Inc. showed us what side they are on or, at the very least how unserious they've become as a journalistic organization. They deliberately and with all malice, gave JD Vance free rein to lie. So they called him on his BS once. Just once. As his Dear Leader infamously said about something else, "So what!"
SeeBS asked for a clarification on a statement from Gov. Walz, too. Walz handled it with class. Vance handled it like a fuming 3 year old. Believe it or not, there was a time, long, long ago when CBS News was the pinnacle of broadcast journalism not just in this country but in the world. Walter Cronkite is spinning in his grave faster than ever today and Edward R. Murrow would probably love to roll away his stone and come back to crush out all the cigarettes he ever smoked in the faces of the korporate champions of authoritarianism that run CBS now.
And, by the way, do you ever wonder if Vance has his mother tied up in a rocker up in the attic? Halloween is coming on two days this year, October 31st and November 5th.
Just the fact that JD Vance has gotten as far as he has and was there representing his party of assorted nazis, domestic terrorists, willful pandemic spreaders, and other red-hatted knuckle-dragging goons is horrific enough and quite an indictment of us as a people.
Truth. An indictment of us/US as a people. Healthy societies (self-determining category) just don't fucking allow this shit to be on the precipice of a dick-tatership.
Every gathering of humanoids includes feces like this guy and his party and all who vote for them. But healthy gatherings find ways to isolate these types away from the rest. That's why we have laws, morals, social norms and government (to enforce same) AND prisons.
When the rest of…
