J D Vance in LA:

"Well, I wish Jose Padilla would be here to ask a question, but unfortunately, I think he decided not to show up because there wasn't a theatre," Vance retorted, referring to the instance when Padilla was handcuffed at a news conference held by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

JD claims Sen Padilla’s appearance at Kristi Noems’ presser was performance politics, which is JD’s actual day job.

There are only 100 senators altogether. I think you’d learn their first names. that is really sickening regressive racist bullshit. Trump supporters love it.

And not doing a very good job of the pretending part.

He’s a very unlikable person as well. But then I think Trump defines unlikable yet here we are.

Pretty safe bet it'll happen---just not nearly fast enough to suit me...

Bring “smart” doesn’t make someone have a good worldview. His performative backwardness is the act, which is not better than if it was authentic.

Fantastic. But, we need you to work hard, and, beat the drums of freedom publicly, as a unit, as well as individually.
How about joining in with your constituents on July 17?, how about publicly condemning ice efforts to sweep public venues like Dodger Stadium as well as farms, factories, neighborhoods, individuals on the street, and every other fucking place these masked marauders are showing up. Do it in unison on the steps of Congress, with strongly worded verbal responses, consistently.

this vulgar divisive racism.

the so called VP's name is as it has been changed more times than a 6 month olds diaper .

Sadly, not all of them do.

did churchill ever refer to hitler as a friend or colleague? did anne frank?
playing nice with these people only buttresses their view that democrats are weak.
btw, it is the DEMOCRATIC PARTY not the democrat party.

😀

i did not see it. i was just commenting on the republicans making a big deal out of the term “democratic” as it pertains to the democrats. sorry for the misunderstanding i caused. my bad!

glad you accepted my apology.
in my 76 yrs. on this increasingly messed up world, i have never seen anything as sick as this maga bullshit. there are crazies on both sides of the political spectrum. there always have been, but this group is the most radical of the bunch. however, in order for them to have gotten to this point they needed to win elections and that is where the problem lies. there always have electorate for 40 years has sat by and watched as the republican party has chipped away at our basic rights and, more importantly, our national decency. wedge issues decide elections. they have replaced more importantly issues such as debt and education. we are going to hell in a handbasket.

I am glad I am not five years old at this time, I worry for the young ones.

It's possible that Shitstain Vance went with José because it's "just some Hispanic name," but I'm betting that Vance deliberately chose it to liken Senator Padilla to convicted terrorist Abdullah al-Muhajir aka José Padilla.

So rather than the casual, default racism endemic among MAGAts and KKKonservatives in general, it seems like a straightforward attempt to smear by name association.


(Sorry if this is obvious and if others have already pointed it out, but I haven't really seen it explicitly stated yet.)
