ikidd , in WSJ Editorial Board Roasts Trump For Listening to ‘9/11 Conspiracist’ Laura Loomer: ‘Is He Trying To Lose The Election?’

I’m loving Melisandre showing up right now. So appropriate.

Let’s assume that she isn’t, being generous and disregarding OP’s photos for a moment.

If both Trump and Vance are echoing this “pet-eating” stuff that she has said, it doesn’t really matter whether she’s affiliated or not, does it? The campaign is about putting two people – Trump and Vance – in office. Any formal affiliation that Loomer has is only meaningful insofar as it affects what Trump or Vance (or, I guess, the Trump-Vance campaign) is doing. And it really does seem that what she’s doing is affecting all three. Or that she’s drawing from campaign planners via a backchannel, which is again functionally equivalent to being formally-affiliated with the campaign in terms of what anyone would care about.

grue , in WSJ Editorial Board Roasts Trump For Listening to ‘9/11 Conspiracist’ Laura Loomer: ‘Is He Trying To Lose The Election?’

No, he’s not trying to lose.

Trump’s path to “victory” lies in inciting his most rabid brownshirts to coup for him (again), not expanding his appeal to actually win more EC votes than Harris.

How would he pull this off though with Biden as president? They didn’t even make it with all their efforts when the white house was on their side, but now it’s not. I believe he would if he could, but I don’t think it’s a viable option this time around.

Look, Kristen, I make a mean chicken curry. I don’t think that it’s insulting for anybody to talk about their dietary preferences

Was it just like locker-room-talk?

This Vance guy was the perfect choice by Trump. Probably the only thing I agree with in his campaign. (S)
And Laura Loomer is right up there competing with him on being the most brilliant. 🤣🤣🤣

When you’re rich, they let you be racist.

tal , (edited ) in "We're creating a story": Vance admits he's making up Haitian immigrant smears
@tal@lemmy.today avatar

Maybe find yourself a better narrative, Vance. Lot of narratives in the world. Some of them even reflect unfavorably on immigration.

And let me also add, setting aside campaign strategy for the Trump campaign for a moment, that if you truly went looking high-and-low for anti-immigrant narratives and a fabricated story about Haitians eating pets was in the shortlist to pick from, maybe the situation with immigration isn’t actually all that bad.

GetOffMyLan ,

That’s my thinking. If this is the best they can come up with there must not be a lot going on.

sndmn , in Vance: ‘Laura Loomer is not affiliated with the Trump campaign’

It’s way easier to get shit stuck to your shoe than wiping it off.

grue ,

Your comment implies that it’s accidental and undesired, whereas in reality they’re deliberately painting it on.

I wonder how he thinks smearing an entire city in Ohio will play… in Ohio?

SnotFlickerman , (edited )
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Based on the polling… pretty well. Trump is up by 9.2% over Harris in Ohio.

AbidanYre ,

Or not badly enough for a 9 point swing anyway.

kescusay ,
@kescusay@lemmy.world avatar

That’s from polling taken before the debate and before the insane attacks on Springfield. I’m curious what things will look like once post-debate Ohio polls start factoring in.

criss_cross OP ,

As someone that grew up in Ohio this entire debacle is heartbreaking.

Fuck Trump and Vance for their fear mongering horseshit.

voracitude , (edited ) in A Minnesota man gets 33 years for fatally stabbing his wife during Bible study

Castle had a message afterward about domestic violence: “Women need to understand: Don’t accept this kind of behavior. It’s not OK.”

Oh yes, women need to understand this isn’t okay. Fucking Jesus fucking wept, was this dickwipe trying to win Tone-Deaf Asshole Of The Century award?

Edit: okay, I had a visceral reaction to the statement and wasn’t being fair to him in how I read it. I think he chose very poor words, but he’s obviously not going to be eloquent at a time like that.

mosiacmango , (edited )

The context makes this statement different.

The above is the victim’s mother, who begged her not to marry her murderer. She says this after stating she found divorce papers in her daughter car after her death, which led her to believe he killed her because she was planning on leaving him.

The above is a statement trying to help women to avoid brutal men to begin with, not blaming them for being victims. It’s saying “if he does this kind of shit, don’t put up with it like my daughter did. Get out immediately.”

voracitude ,

Fair point. I know I’m not alone in being entirely sick of hearing victims get blamed using words just like this, but you’re right that it’s extremely unlikely he meant it that way.

Yerbouti , in ‘Clearly chicken you weirdo’: People respond to JD Vance sharing video he claims shows migrants grilling cats

Liberals likes to eat baby cats. Prove me wrong. See I won you lose, end of the story.

CatsGoMOW , in Vance: ‘Laura Loomer is not affiliated with the Trump campaign’

Is this Vance speaking for Trump again? 😂

phoenixz , in Vance Describes Plan to End Ukraine War That Sounds a Lot Like Putin’s

Putin bought and paid shills say what?

aaaaace , in A Minnesota man gets 33 years for fatally stabbing his wife during Bible study

Incoherent

phoenixz , in Colorado teen shot in the face by town councilman after going to home to ask permission to take homecoming photos

From reading the story it sounds like the guy wasn’t trying to kill the teen, he’s just a giant irresponsible dumbass who should never had a gun in the first place, making all of them victims of the toxic US gun culture

hate2bme ,

I was taught when I first started shooting guns when I was 5 that you only point a gun at something that’s alive when you don’t want it to be alive anymore.

tux , in "We're creating a story": Vance admits he's making up Haitian immigrant smears

Man someone needs to get a class action lawsuit of as many Haitian immigrants in Ohio together as possible. Sue the fuckers

art , in Black man found dead against tree with rope around his neck in NC: 'Not a lynching,' sheriff says

There are a concerning amount of not-a-lynchings in this country.
