“And as I got looking into sheriffs, I learned that there was this movement out there that had been really promoted by a particular figure on the right named Richard Mack, who claims that sheriffs' authority is greater than the federal and state governments, really any government outside of the local sheriff”
They are also Trump supporters.
They call themselves “Constitutional Sheriffs” who are anything but constitutional.

“But Trump loves adulation, and he likely wanted Swift’s endorsement—badly enough to claim her support even when she hadn’t given it: In August, Trump shared a collection of images that included a picture of Swift dressed as Uncle Sam. ‘Taylor wants you to vote for Donald Trump,’ the caption read.”
I don’t think Trump posted this and, as is usual, he believed the AI images to be real—he fell victim to the echo chamber he created.
He felt betrayed by reality.

Vance: “But, you know, the big difference between conservatives and liberals is that no one has tried to kill Kamala Harris in the last couple of months. And two people now have tried to kill Donald Trump in the last couple months. I’d say that’s pretty strong evidence the left needs to turn down the rhetoric and needs to cut this crap out. Somebody is going to get hurt and it’s going to destroy this country.”
Haitians ALREADY are being hurt.
“The Republican presidential hopeful, before heading out to play golf, thought it’d be a good idea to a publish a four-word, all-caps message in which Trump declared his hatred for the pop star. To be sure, the importance of the GOP candidate’s hatred for assorted artists is limited, but there is a larger question hanging overhead: With 50 days remaining before Election Day 2024, what exactly is the Trump campaign’s message to voters?”
Anger and hate.

Vance preached that "we want our public policy to be motivated by the wisdom of loving thy neighbor, that we want our public policy to be motivated by an understanding that family is the most important thing in this country."
Just not Haitian families?
Or Black families?
Or Hispanic families?
Just rich white families with a husband and wife who are ONLY XY and XX DNA?
He literally is supporting a dozen bills that are SO NOT love the neighbor RIGHT NOW.

She is seeking an UNREALIZED TAX ON CAPITAL GAINS. If this tax actually gets enacted, it guarantees that we will have a 1929 style Depression. Perhaps even the thought of it would lead to calamity—But at least appraisers and accountants would do well!”
DO NOT THINK ABOUT A TAX ON UNREALIZED CAPITAL GAINS!
I. AM. SERIOUS!

Trump hurts small businesses.
Intentionally.
“A spice company has drawn the ire of former President Donald Trump and right-wing media after Vice President Kamala Harris visited its Pittsburgh store… (the) company lost almost 3,200 email subscribers following Harris’ visit but gained over 7,700.“
I cannot think of another presidential candidate who has INTENTIONALLY hurt small businesses.
Is this how he plans to act in office?
That’s just uncool.
“ An Ohio sheriff is being accused of bullying his constituents after a social media post suggesting people send him the addresses of citizens with Kamala Harris yard signs. Portage County Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski apparently made a Facebook post on Friday, pondering how things might be different should Harris be elected in November.”
“Donald Trump currently has the lead over Kamala among Texas voters with 49% to 44%, respectively, but a recent spike in enthusiasm among Democratic voters could signal a shift, according to a Sept. 6 University of Texas/Texas Politics Project poll. The recent poll found that 79% of democrats were either extremely excited or excited about voting in the 2024 election, which represented an 18% increase from June.”

Although Trump has said that he would deport criminals first, these people would be easier. And Trump is all about easy:
“Former President Donald Trump has made the deportation of millions of undocumented immigrants the centerpiece of his dark domestic agenda. And even Dreamers -- as immigrants without papers raised in America, including DACA recipients, are known -- are not insulated from Trump's cruel designs.”

Chip Roy (R - Dumbass) makes no sense:
“Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) delivered a long speech on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks in which he said that the U.S. isn’t worth defending anymore because he has a friend whose kid’s music teacher is transgender.”
How does this make a lick of sense?!?!
Trump wants Republicans to shut down government over a problem that doesn’t exist.
“On Tuesday, the Republican presidential nominee decided to plant himself in the middle of the debate… At the crux of the issue is the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility—or SAVE—Act, a piece of legislation that would require proof of citizenship in order to vote.”
GOP wants NATIONAL voter disenfranchisement. But they will do NOTHING about guns.

“Maybe (Swift) just bought into all the lies about conservatives and Republicans, that they are racist and sexist and homophobic and xenophobic and transphobic and Islamophobic. And Republicans and conservatives want dirty air and water, and a total ban on all abortion with no exceptions,” Mr Hannity said.
Perhaps Hannity should read the GOP platform. It literally says no exceptions. And Trump has said he will roll back green energy. “Drill, baby, drill”

Vance says it then ATTEMPTS walk it back:
“If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do.”
Bash: “You just said that this is a story that you created. So, the eating dogs and cats thing is not accurate?”
“I say that we're creating a story, meaning we're creating the American media focusing on it,” Vance clarified.
In other words he made it up.
“As the Taliban begins enforcing new draconian laws, Afghan women say that whatever hopes they once harbored for an easing of the severe restrictions on them have largely vanished.”
You know who thought it was a good idea?
“all legal scholars, both sides, wanted and in fact demanded… (it)… be ended.”
Trump gave Afghanistan to the Taliban in the same way he wants to give America to the religious ultra-right.
It’s a “solution” that doesn’t affect him.
What GOP strategist is saying about his candidates going off message:
“They need to get their heads out of their asses and get dead-set focused on the swing voters,” GOP strategist Ryan Horn said. “And stop paying attention to what their base is saying online.”
Hey, it’s the base that picked these idiots. Y’all went along. Trump GOP? Sure. Let Trump be Trump? No problemo.
Now, all of a sudden, it’s like y’all realized, “Oh, shit, he can’t win!”

“I never imagined by privacy would be invaded by the government here in America,” the former first lady says as somber orchestral music plays. “The FBI raided my home in Florida and searched through my personal belongings.”

So, once again, JD Vance is spreading chaos and will get someone killed. Is this still protected speech?
“In the last several weeks, my office has received many inquiries from actual residents of Springfield who’ve said their neighbors’ pets or local wildlife were abducted by Haitian migrants. It’s possible, of course, that all of these rumors will turn out to be false,” Vance

Oh, look, Trump’s breaking the law again!
“ Earlier this summer, Devin Nunes, the CEO of Trump Media and a former California congressman, touched down just outside Skopje, the capital of North Macedonia. He and a small group of other North American executives were there to talk business. But they weren’t there to meet with representatives from another company. A high-ranking official from the Macedonian government greeted them…”
Who is Comrade Howard?
The answer may surprise you!
