1. Yay America! Yay American prosperity!

Thanks immigrants

[Whyisthisstillclose]

2. Total lack of awareness of what

is coming out of his mouth and what it means to the listeners. This guy is a walking faux pas.

[Renew Deal]

3. At least Dan Quayle could spell potato, sort of.

[madaboutharry]

4. How did this numbskull get a law degree from Yale?

🧐

[Irish_Dem]

14. Maybe he was an Appalachian DEI.

[residentcynic]

18. This is very possible

That plus being a vet

[Irish_Dem]

19. Universities have been recruiting first gen Appalachian students.

Even the Ivies and they put them in remedial programs to help them get through if need be.

[dalton99a]

37. +1

[krkaufman]

44. Clearly over-valued

If you get in and have the money to pay for the few years required, you’ll get the degree.

[ananda]

61. I ask myself the same question about a lot of Yalee Republicans.

Including Dubya.

I think Yale must be a privilege mill..
in it for the money and not the quality
or prestige.

[bdamomma]

69. This comment

from Michelle Obama from the 2024 DNC speech rings so true.

We will never benefit from the affirmative action of generational wealth.

[ananda]

73. That is exactly right!

Thank you

[appalachiablue]

64. Maybe a toxin from the eyeliner done gone to his brain..And

if he got into prestigious schools on some kind of 'Appalachian card' as suggested by some, I'd like to know about it. Weird.

[BrianTheEVGuy]

5. Heh

“Mr Vance, if immigrants are so bad, would you support the immediate deportation of Elon Musk and Peter Thiel — both foreign-born immigrants who have injected large amounts of foreign money into your campaign?”

[uponit7771]

9. ...he'd say they're white so that doesn't count, he and Trump are that racist

[cloudbase]

20. That ought to endear him to his in-laws.

[0rganism]

6. Damn, he's *so close* to the answer he won't understand, the truth he won't see

Wow, it's like the blind squirrel found a nut, took a crap on it, and walked away laughing. Just amazingly deeply unaware.

[RidinWithHarris]

7. Republicans live in a world where the US was a paradise until the very moment Biden was sworn in...

...and then it was instantly plunged into a Mad Max hellscape of poverty and migrant violence.

If they don't believe that, they say it anyway to reel in as many gullible suckers who will believe it as they can.

[Evolve Dammit]

29. Obama was their beginning

[RidinWithHarris]

41. Certainly, I'm just talking about the degree and speed of purported change

Hellhole under Obama, instant paradise when Trump was sworn in, back to dystopian hellscape when Biden was sworn in.

[JHB]

68. A lot longer than that. Under Carter we were supposedly unilaterally disarming...

...in the face of the Unstoppable Soviet Colossus(tm). We were once again going all to hell as soon as Bill Clinton was sworn in, according to Republicans.

It's their standard operating procedure.

[Evolve Dammit]

71. I get that but a black man in the WH was like a call to arms. I saw it from friends and co-workers

[SheltieLover]

8. Does he think he's in russia with his boss?

[rubbersole]

49. His boss is Russian.

[SheltieLover]

51. Right.

[Think. Again.]

10. I'm finding it hard to believe ANYONE could be this inept.

Is he just playing a role of some kind?

[tulipsandroses]

28. Maybe AI is far more advanced than we think it is. This is the first version. We need a few more before it works right.

Too many glitches.

[FalloutShelter]

11. Does he have ANY understanding of what our country stands for?

Does he have ANY understanding of what the office he is running for means? What our standing in the world is? WHO WE ARE AS A NATION??!!!

WTAF???!

[sarisataka]

12. What does the IMF say

Largest economies in the world by GDP (nominal) in 2024 according to International Monetary Fund estimates

[pat_k]

62. I have no idea wtf point he thinks he's making

We may not be at the top in GDP per capita or net worth per capita, but look at the counties "ahead" of us. Either comparatively tiny little places like Monaco (GDP per capita) or places with progressive policies they'd condemn as Marxist (like Switzerland, highest wealth per capita).

https://www.statista.com/statistics/203941/countries-with-the-highest-wealth-per-adult/

Of course, when it comes to the appalling magnitude of our dysfunctional distribution of that wealth to the few -- something DT and buddies undoubtedly consider a feature, not a bug -- we are right up there.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

13. Yo JD! America became PROSPEROUS BECAUSE of Immigration!

What a FUCKING MORON!

[Initech]

15. They're gonna go full Nazi if they get back in power, aren't they?

[barbtries]

25. that is my belief.

thus the incredible impetus to not let it happen.

my middle son does not appreciate that if TCFSF were to win it would spell the end of democracy in the USA. i don't know where I went wrong raising him.

[Irish_Dem]

16. Is Vance doing drugs or alcohol?

He is besties with Don Jr., the king of cocaine.

[MattNC2021]

17. I guess he didn't learn much at Yale

I’d rather be represented by a social studies teacher!!

[MustBeTheBooz]

21. He really is an idiot. Full stop. No excuses. nt

[KatyaR]

22. Dear God, could he BE any more stupid?

I'm so tired of all this....

[barbtries]

23. he's brain dead.

does he think this shit up all by himself?

[AllaN01Bear]

24. i cant say what i want to say. but i can say snork.

[awesomerwb1]

26. Dumb motherfucker is all I can say

[Joinfortmill]

27. This cretin went to Yale? WTF?

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

53. Makes it look like some second rate degree from NowhereFuckTu County Community College, don't it?

Seriously, how good are their graduates when we keep seeing choads with credentials from there saying the stupidest, alt reality things they do? If they can graduate, I sure as hell could.

[andym]

30. He's gaslighting Americans to push the GOP anti-immigrant mantra

I doubt he doesn't really know that the US IS the most prosperous country.

[Kid Berwyn]

31. Bitcoin!

Mineral Extraction!

Separating value from them that make it, and transferring ownership from them who hold it to those who take it, since the Dawn of Time™.

[ret5hd]

32. THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO TELL YOU!!!

f'n widget.

[Firestorm49]

33. Actually, they come here in search of a better life -

something Vance can’t comprehend.

[Walleye]

34. Americans are tired of the direction. JD's mouth is taking.

[Evolve Dammit]

35. This boy just ain't right

[Jk23]

36. Did he bet heavily on the other side and is throwing the game

He's like a boxer falling down on purpose in the first round.

Is his bookie aware?

[haele]

50. His boss Thiel started up a gambling site.

So he could be throwing it to cash in, and flee the country afterwards.
I'm sure he'll be happier in Hungary. He's almost indistinguishable from most well off Euro-trash as it is.

Haele

[kimbutgar]

38. Every white person in this country is a generational immigrant

The only true Americans are Native Americans.

And his running mate the convicted felons mother came from Scotland and his grandfather came from Germany. He’s not even an American revolution American. And JD what about your wife?

[relayerbob]

39. Anti-American Asshole

[Coexist]

40. How freaking stupid is this man?

[ProfessorGAC]

42. Man, He's Dumb

They're not figuring out that this red meat stuff isn't winning the middle.

[yonder]

43. I hope Tim Walz uses that hammer to nail j.d.

when the two go head to head in their debate

[Trenzalore]

45. What a fing dumbass

[paleotn]

46. Jethro is an idiot.

[usonian]

47. Let him post that on twitter. Repeatedly. Full of insults.

[ecstatic]

48. another ignorant republican

Immigration is the exact reason why the US has fared so well, but that momentum has slowed down considerably due to republicans' refusing to govern, innovate and improve what we have. Imagine if over the past 3 decades they were concerned about how to improve things for everyone instead of their obsession with embryos, fetuses, and black people.

[IronLionZion]

52. "Nobody wants to work anymore"

the MAGA answer to labor shortage is absolutely MAGA. Low wage immigrants are the reason nobody wants to work anymore. If there are so many millions of low wage immigrant workers, then why the labor shortage and understaffing everywhere? Are they too busy kidnapping and eating people's pets?

[PatrickforB]

54. Wow. This is mind boggling how a Yale grad can be this IGNORANT.

We ARE the wealthiest country in the world, and we ARE a nation of immigrants.

[struggle4progress]

55. JD should just go back to wherever his folk came from:

Bedlam or Gehenna or Transylvania or wherever

[Beartracks]

56. Republicans gotta lie about that to make America sound like a shithole country under Biden.

Their main lies right now seem to be the huge fake crime statistics and the huge fake numbers of immigrants crossing the border. I guess they thought they needed to also spout huge fake lies about America's Gross National Product.

=================

[bdamomma]

72. The felon

told them to kill the bill, what a bunch of cowards. They are accessories to the crimes that felon commits.

[Picaro]

57. TFG sure can pick'em

[mgardener]

58. Does he think

People come to the US just to annoy Republicans?

[Dave Bowman]

59. Dumb and ignorant, what a guy.

[Straw Man]

60. I'm never quite sure ...

... whether he and his boss are actually that stupid or whether they just think that their followers are.

[SergeStorms]

63. Yale my ass!

This dullard graduated from Trump "University." He and Asswart45 have to be the most ignorant, educated men on the planet.

[hadEnuf]

65. This guy is simply a moron.

Who appeals to other morons.

[Clouds Passing]

66. If most billionaires weren't greedy psychopaths the vast majority of Americans...

would have prosperity, healthcare, housing, minimal anxiety and depression, and yes, happiness.

[julmur]

67. Milwaukee Irish

Well it certainly was the path to prosperity for all the business tycoons from prior generations that built empires of wealth on the backs of all the immigrants that came from Europe, China etc

[maxsolomon]

70. A lot of garbled assertions.

25 million "illegal aliens" since 2021? I don't think that's right.

the "flooding" wording is straight up racism.

[Emile]

74. Walz vs Vance debate will be dubbed Common Sense vs Weirdo.

[malaise]

75. He makes Lady Blah Blah sound like Einstein

😂😀😂

[ThoughtCriminal]

76. Maybe he did go to yale

and he yust got out!

(yeah it's an old Dilbert gag)

[brush]

77. Didn't the moron go to Yale? This is the wealthest nation in the world.

[chouchou]

78. Trump 2.0

[Westcoast4life]

79. Hes not wrong. In fact hes right on point in his dolphin sex watching, couch-humping perverted way.

[OAITW r.2.0]

80. Please, keep talking JD.

You are hitting foul ball home runs for Trump.

[Wiz Imp]

81. Now it's 25,000,000 people here illegally. That's even higher than the number Trumps said just today

By the time of the election they're going to be saying it's 100,000,000 or more.

Notice he also blames immigrants for "skyrocketing" inflation. Then why has the inflation rate in the US (even at it's peak 2 years ago) been the lowest of any major country in the world?

You want to see high inflation? Let Trump win and implement their tariffs and start deporting everyone. Then we we would truly see inflation "like nobody ever saw before" (in Trump speak). Every legitimate economist in the world agrees tariffs will significantly increase inflation and once you start deporting everyone, there will be nobody to work in the food industries causing not only super high inflation but likely food shortages. These MAGA people are so stupid it hurts.
