I have been to Springfield, Oh. I delivered heavy equipment to the city administrators. The place has no drama.
Maybe it’s because all the drama causing cats and dogs have been eaten?
Not until now where they’ve been getting bomb threats to SCHOOLS and HOSPITALS.
repugnicunt terrorists that will face zero consequences…
Imagine a President Vance. Compare to a President Waltz. Either would be possible.
LMAO! We would have an easier time paying attention like we’re trying to without all the lies and distractions from the evil class.
“Pay attention to me! NOW!”
“If I have to create stories so that
the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American peoplewe win, then that’s what I’m going to do.”Yea, we already knew that JD, thanks.
Right? I get that some middle America feels slighted, and I’m all for preventing the hollowing out of small town America, but I don’t see lying xenophobic scapegoating being the answer here. That’s how you get nationalist parties and paramilitary “cultural enforcement” groups.
Instead, I see a need to foster and fund community organizations and civil engagement. Improved infrastructure and green spaces. More affordable housing - bring people back into the towns rather than the outskirts of it. But unfortunately, oddly, for some reason, that’s not as easy of a sell as the “people be eating your pets” trope.
Unions. Tax the rich. Enforce environmental and labor laws. House the homeless. Fund education. This is all fixable but the billionaires who own us don’t want it fixed.
They think it’s “smart people’s” fault, and those college educated, holier-than-thou smarty pants folks with their big words and fancy wine-sippin’ need to be punished. I think a lot of them know they’re being misled, they just don’t really care.
They know we hate Trump, and so that’s a good enough indication that he must be the solution. Very simple-minded stuff.
In philosophy, ressentiment (/rəˌsɒ̃.tiˈmɒ̃/; French pronunciation: [ʁə.sɑ̃.ti.mɑ̃] ⓘ) is one of the forms of resentment or hostility. The concept was of particular interest to some 19th-century thinkers, most notably Friedrich Nietzsche. According to their use, ressentiment is a sense of hostility directed toward an object that one identifies as the cause of one’s frustration, that is, an assignment of blame for one’s frustration.[1] The sense of weakness or inferiority complex and perhaps even jealousy in the face of the “cause” generates a rejecting/justifying value system, or morality, which attacks or denies the perceived source of one’s frustration. This value system is then used as a means of justifying one’s own weaknesses by identifying the source of envy as objectively inferior, serving as a defense mechanism that prevents the resentful individual from addressing and overcoming their insecurities and flaws. The ego creates an enemy to insulate themselves from culpability.
Please
claplistenLOL he’s still butthurt about being a weird couchfucker
fuck that couchfucking couchfucker
What a repugnant sentient bag of shite this wretch is. Good to know he’ll disappear into welcome obscurity in a few months. Back to screwing furniture, you malcontent.
Couchfucker has a point
Does he? Wouldn’t it be better for him to spread stories about actual suffering and how he would fix it?
They only have a concept of ways to fix it, no actual plans. This way, they don’t need a plan because the problem goes away once they stop pushing their bullshit narrative.
No he doesn’t. If there’s so much suffering, put a spotlight on the actual problems. Making shit up helps nobody and completely ruins the lives of Haitian immigrants in this case.
He’s just trying to deflect from his blatant racism.
When JD watches Backroom Casting Couch, You think he jerkes off to the couch?
Nah, but he always brings a stack of ones to the Goodwill.
I don’t get it
Strip clubs have strippers, Goodwill has couches 🤦
It was confusing. I’ve seen JD Vance donate stacks of pre fucked couches to my local Goodwill.
Oh perhaps I misspoke. I guess maybe he prefers virgin wool. He keeps getting older, but the upholstery stays the same age.
I’m sorry, I will recline from commenting further.
I think you mean “post-fucked” couches.
Yeah, you’re right.
JD Vance uses Good Will like a strip club.
When he does, he has to use his free hand to cover up the other dude in the video, because beating off while another guy’s dick is in view is totally gay
Although this story isn’t related, I’ve been trying to get the name JD Vance changed online to “Joy Division Vance” given his views on women.
The future Joy Division Vance sees for American Women
In World War II, Nazi Germany established brothels in the concentration camps (Lagerbordell or Freudenabteilungen “Joy Divisions”) to increase productivity among inmates, although these institutions were used mostly by Kapos, “prisoner functionaries” and the criminal element, because regular inmates, penniless and emaciated, were usually too debilitated and wary of exposure to Schutzstaffel (SS) schemes. In the end, the camp brothels did not produce any noticeable increase in the prisoners’ productivity levels, but instead, created a market for coupons among the camp VIPs.[1]
The women forced into these brothels came mainly from the women-only Ravensbrück concentration camp,[2] except for Auschwitz, which used its own prisoners.[3] In combination with the German military brothels in World War II, it is estimated that at least 34,140 female inmates were forced into sexual slavery during the Third Reich.[3]
TIL, thanks. Makes a bit more sense now why the band chose the name.
Clever, but might be too niche of a reference for people to understand.
Yeah, please don’t tarnish Joy Division by associating them with Vance.
Man…
People really don’t know it from the band anymore?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zuuObGsB0No
That piano coming in is fucking iconic, but I guess by now even if people had heard of the band they don’t remeber where the name came from
I was a teen in the ‘80s and I never heard the origin of “Joy Division”, just knew the band. DJs on the radio (or on MTV) back then never discussed bands’ names or what they meant, so it wasn’t easy to know about that stuff. I also never knew what “Dead Kennedys” meant although that’s pretty obvious if you just think about it. Hell, I never knew Freddie Mercury was gay despite the band name “Queen”.
I also thought Boy George was a woman, but everybody did.
When you’re in a hole, dig harder!
No wonder they matched him with JT.
He’d draw on a weather map with a sharpie too,
Literally do and say anything, no matter how ridiculous, to not ever admit a mistake.
If lying, restructuring my entire identity by throwing all my values overboard, or undermining the foundations of democracy in order to gain more power is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.
If God didn’t want us to fuck couches, why did he make them so goddamn sexy?
At most, claim it was sarcasm, just a joke.
Especially if you’re drilling a hole in a couch.
“If you think my Haitian stories are bad, just wait until I start making up stories about Jews. I get most of my “news” from this website called 4chan. Ever heard of it?”
But I saw it on TV
Republicans have such a talent for saying things that really make you hate that theyll never see your response.
Sounds exactly like Boris Johnson, prime minister in the UK and notorious for making up stories. He basically steered the UK economy in a dive and parachuted out so another imbecile was at the wheel when all the warnings began to blare. Stories don’t make for good policies.
That’s basically what the Trump Administration did, tho they were voted out. When Trump was complaining about the Biden economy during that talking point ad disguised as a debate, I kept getting frustrated that Harris didn’t say they were cleaning up his mess.
-
Trump used all the financial emergency tools when the economy was good. He lowered taxes and interest rates. This supercharged the economy, but left us vulnerable to normal market dangers since we had nothing stable and reliable left in the event of a an unforeseen retraction. Despite economists objecting and even resigning in protest, he still pushed it through because the general population doesn’t understand how the economy works. All they would see are Trump POTUS = good economy.
-
Obama left us with a pandemic response team to stay ahead of any possible pandemics at the advice of leading scientists. Trump disbanded the entire thing for no objective reason, just power, control, and hate. Then, COVID happened.
-
The COVID pandemic alone saw the worse market sell-off since the Great Depression. We were hitting multiple circuit breakers per week to stop a complete market sell-off. It was so bad, that owning futures of oil was literally an expenditure because you had to pay to atore it since no one was buying. People went bankrupt from one day to the next.
-
The money printer go brrrrr meme happened under his admin to prevent the economy from spiraling out of control. GAS GAS GAS!! The underlying joke was that they kept saying that inflation wasn’t going to suffer the largest creation of currency in the country’s history.
-
The lo- ass interest rates with a halted economy left very few places to invest money, so that went into the stock market and corporations buying houses. Interest rates were lower than stock market returns, especially since the government showed it would intervene, so wealth was flowing from one to the other creating absolutely no tangible value yet accumulating wealth for the people that could afford it. It was basically a relative wealth robbery of the middle class right out in the open.
-
To solve the inflation crisis, Biden had to jack up interest rates. Now, no one wants to sell their house to get into a new loan with double the interest rate, which is exacerbating the housing shortage. Meanwhile, house insurance is skyrocketing due to climate change and the government hasn’t done ahit about it.
I don’t think anyone could get away with seriously hurting the economy worse than Trump did. Seriously, from the economy to pointless rally attendance numbers, everything those people say is the opposite of truth. Whatever the blame on someone else is what they did. What ever the claim is what someone else did.
I kept getting frustrated that Harris didn’t say they were cleaning up his mess…in retrospect, I imagine that she wanted to distinguish herself from Trump’s repeated that wasn’t me that was you strategy.
That’s exactly it. “You did it”, “no you did it!” finger pointing doesn’t accomplish anything.
Also it’s not entirely truthful. This inflation is a global phenomena. Not everything about the economy is under the President’s control. The US has fared better than most countries and the world and Biden has managed the aspects of the economy he could extremely competently. It’s damn near impossible to come out of an economic situation like this without a recession, but he pulled it off.
But people when people feel the economy is bad telling that “the economy is good actually” just makes a candidate seem out of touch. Really what’s needed is some trust-busting (which is in the works) and raising taxes on the wealthy (also in the works). But there’s still a lot of people that believe the trickle down stuff (including the undecideds that Harris needs to get), so that won’t do either.
Inflation is always problematic politically. Someone gets a raise that matches inflation, they feel like they gained something they earned. We actually term it a pay raise (when it really shouldn’t) and employers most definitely present it as something they’re generously giving the employees. So people don’t see inflation as being the reason they got a pay raise, it’s simply the reason their pay raise was taken away from them. Inflation is difficult to explain because there’s multiple reasons for it, and trying to explain concepts around the velocity of money to someone angry about inflation isn’t going to go well. People tend to just say “it’s because the government is printing money” even when interests rates have been increased which is the opposite of printing money.
So yeah the economy is a complicated subject. So… “we’re going after the corporations for price gouging and we’re gong to bring down the cost of medicine” are the things Harris is saying because one minute is not enough time to explain the real complexities of the economy to people that believe the “trickle down” nonsense.
