MODERATORS
 

Donald Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), has said a lot of wild things. But on Sunday, he made headlines for something he didn’t say.

In an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press, Vance left the door open to renewed family separations under Trump’s promised “mass deportation” plan. Despite moderator Kristen Welker directly asking Vance three times if families would be separated in a second Trump administration, Vance failed to clearly answer. Instead, he parroted the right’s critique of Vice President Kamala Harris, falsely claiming she had been designated as “border czar.”

“Millions upon millions of illegal immigrants that have come in just since Kamala Harris became the border czar,” Vance told Welker.

“She was put in charge of the root causes of migration,” Welker corrected Vance.

“Well the root causes of migration, Kristen, is that Kamala Harris refused to do her job as border czar,” Vance replied.

Project 2025 is pretty clear that family separations are a feature of mass deportations. They affirmatively want this, the door is wide open. If they say otherwise, they’re lying.

The leading Project 2025 architect Kevin Roberts, President of the Heritage Foundation, stated that mass deportation was a top priority. Mass deportation is mass family separation. Project 2025 seeks to rip apart American families, not limited to new arrivals; the plan seeks to target the 80% of the undocumented population who have called the US home for more than a decade, including the Dreamers, TPS holders, and immediate family members of U.S. citizens.

Boy, they just love making shit up and then figuring out if they can turn their bullshit into some sort of extreme cruelty.

I can only assume you have to be a massive sadist to be a Republican, because a fucking normal person would never go along with these fucks when they're babbling nonsense and then talk about stealing children.

Will they be deporting vance with his Indian wife? Or will he be allowed to stay in the USA if he finds a white wife?

Why did he choose that color sofa in the first place?

How long has it been since you’ve seen your family?

Uh… like 6 months…

Ok. Good.

Couchfucker:

How long has it been since your entire family have been killed right in front of your eyes?

Worker:

...about 5 weeks? I guess. I don't know I'm still pretty traumatized by it.

Couchfucker:

Ok... good...

JD Vance broke into my house last night and raped my sofa

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He broke in here and started sobbing uncontrollably when I didn't have one

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Last week he broke in here and began gagging. Apparently, not only does he go down, bitter apple works just as well on him as puppies.

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 3 points 2 months ago

I mean, nobody can prove that didn't happen.

Who’s a great big shitbag? JD Vance.

Just realize that the future they Invision does NOT include non straight, non White or non Christian people.

When I read this headline, I thought this was about Trump’s Project 2025 shit about banning divorce.

[–] ech@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

Implying he has any power with Trump whatsoever.

Even the phrase "mass deportations" should make anyone who cares about anything angry as hell. Are they planning on using trains? Stopping off at camps on the way to the border? Fuck that shit and fuck anyone who hears that phrase and doesn't immediately think of Auschwitz.
