I am sorry. The only thing I have to offer in incoherent profanity and vulgarity at this moment. I am hoping I can return later and write a more thoughtful and reasoned comment.

I cannot comprehend the absolute disgrace to humanity that both fpotus and his running mate are. Worse than they are (and they are fucking awful) are people that I served with, some of whom are also former Marines and service men/women who are buying this line of absolute putrid shit and coming back for seconds. I am completely and utterly disgusted.

That just means that you are a sane, decent person.

Honestly - seems to me there should be or is? some kind of illegality involved with this incitement of terrorism.

If you think about it - if frick and frack were NOT white and NOT rich, perhaps were people of color - belonged to another ethnic group - would there be any kind of attempt to perhaps chastise or - horrors - actually arrest them for this? I seem to recall ordinary everyday people being charged for activities like this. SO?

I hated Vance's book. I hate him because he is a hater.

I hate him because he’s a poseur. A hollow empty shell of a human being, unable to find a shred of remorse. I guess that’s what it’s like when you have only two or three neurons bouncing around in your skull.

Good reason. I hate him because he is a shitbird, also a good reason.

I hate him because he's still breathing. Also a good reason. :)

This is actually quite concise and thoughtful for incoherent profanity and vulgarity. You are not alone in being unable to understand how any thinking person can accept the existence of the failed insurrectionist and his weirdo sidekick in American civic life. I believe it was Queen Victoria who said it best - "His existence offends me."

I have been offended by the existence of chump since the birther bull Schitt. He wasn’t on my radar before, nor was Vance. Two peas in an evil pod, poisoning America.

Ally, the reality is, perhaps the European assessment of a significant percentage of Americans is unfortunately correct. The Ugly American is an image created by demonstration and unless there’s enough of us to counter that perception, we’ve earned it and own it

On a trip to Mexico years ago, I was with a group that I could only call “ugly Americans.” I have never been so happy to leave that crowd. Now it is like I’m stuck with them again and can’t get away.

I just said much the same.

I'm in about the same place you are. a burst of obscenity is the best I could possibly do.

after trying one thing (meme?) after another, it seems that THIS is the thing they're settling on (THIS week, at any rate).

it's the most pathetic available anthill they--or, doubtless, any of us--could find to die on. it signals their desperation.

Vance is rapidly shaping up to be TFF's mini-me. or at least he was on the "Sunday shows."

I assume that by now, most of us have seem Little Stevie, the wannabe Nazi, losing it with that Latino journalist, who did an excellent job of keeping his cool while Miller went on his diatribe that made absolutely no sense. I mean, like, couldn't a Venezuelan "lower his crime rate" by simply killing people? it seems like "shipping all his criminals here" could get pretty complicated and expensive.

and didn't Vance implicitly admit that the only animals he actually knew were stolen were birds (geese) and that these were ramped up to cats and dogs for effect?

I hate these scumbags a little more every day...

who'da thought that was possible?

I was gobsmacked too, but I expected no less. He will scrape the bottom and keep digging. This is a sample of what will come to us all if some “decent repubs” don’t come to their senses and call this crap what it is. As the desperation gets worse, so will the insanity. He has jumped the shark so many times, I think the meme is dead. Democracy may be too. Who knew kittens would be his weapon of choice. BTW, Vance is the perfect stooge for this cretin.
