JD Vance is also claiming that because of Haitians, communicable diseases in Springfield have "skyrocketed." I talked to the health commissioner in Clark County, where Springfield is located. Vance's claim is nonsense. Details here: newrepublic.com/series/48/jd... - ThreadSky

Thank you for proving that JD simply spouted more racist nonsense.

fioko.tv•166 days ago

All these years finding ways to make black people out as criminally-inclined and stupid, now they found a way to call them disease-ridden too, because they're too chicken shit to use the word they actually want to say

drjamesjteeth.bsky.social•166 days ago

Vance is following the Nazi playbook. The Nazis did this to the Jews.

jayt22.bsky.social•165 days ago

Of course it's nonsense.

What you need to do is persuade US voters that https://truth.social is the most ironic name for a service in history.

babsallday.bsky.social•166 days ago

of course it is. absolutely won't matter to the faithful

noisybrooklyn1.bsky.social•166 days ago

Maybe this will turn Clark County blue in 2024.
60.8% voted trump, 37.5% Biden in 2020

From what I can work out (we still know people in Springfield, mostly what I'd describe as Chamber of Commerce Republicans), the strain on health and education services is real. But what do you expect in a city that has been losing people for DECADES and only just turned it around?

jennyd67.bsky.social•166 days ago

This is the real problem that politicians could focus in, but it's not headline grabbing enough. Also, solutions would likely involve increases in government spending.

ghostyspook.bsky.social•166 days ago

If anything they have some mild growing pains but that’s hardly a bad thing

fernmonkey.bsky.social•166 days ago

With the emphasis on growing.

westofrome.bsky.social•166 days ago

Forgive me if this has already been covered, but I find it striking that I haven't heard a word from the Sherrod Brown camp during this whole sad affair.

It may well be the right move strategically, but it sure is odd

la-crystal.bsky.social•166 days ago

Donald Trump showed him he could tell big lies daily with no repercussions.

jeannetteblue.bsky.social•165 days ago

Man they are Hammering that poor town. I hope people are paying attention to the methodology here. ANYONE (or whole business or whole town or whole club, etc) can be made the target in an instant. Remember the retired judge too afraid to prosecute Trump in GA. Fascism in action.

waterloo45.bsky.social•165 days ago

Vance wants a school shooting so bad

hope-post.bsky.social•165 days ago

He also said twice on national news that the murder rate increased by 81%, which is really insane, it’s like their running a Russian op on the American ppl, and not running to have us hire them, it’s insane.

milothepsychic.starbase80.net•166 days ago

If they were all concerned, maybe they could use this nifty invention call a “mask”?

deelynn.com•166 days ago

This is all a distraction. He never talks about anything serious. Instead, they have people wasting their time over these non-existing wild claims

khwalz.bsky.social•166 days ago

JD Schvantz is a disease.

enbuenora.bsky.social•166 days ago

so after going to war against public health during COVID-19, conservatives are suddenly concerned about communicable disease, but only to the extent it helps them make up racist stories to encourage threats to immigrants

simonjester007.bsky.social•166 days ago

A Lie 😡

mdlafrance.bsky.social•165 days ago

While we're talking about communicable diseases, measles has made a comeback in the US because of Republican stoking anti-vaxx conspiracy nonsense.

jamessteel2008.bsky.social•166 days ago

More lies, I just hope the voters of Springfield return the favour and vote overwhelmingly for Kamala.

rtoit.bsky.social•166 days ago

Springfield needs to sue the Trump campaign and Vance and Trump.

agpasquella.bsky.social•166 days ago

People aren’t their spouses but I can’t help wondering how Usha Vance is justifying her husband’s wild racism

tequila0341.bsky.social•166 days ago

Clerked for Amul Thapur, Brett Kavanaugh, and John Roberts. She's fine with all of it.

agpasquella.bsky.social•166 days ago

Oh yeah, I know she’s a horrible person who’s worked with horrible people. I’m just wondering if she’s justifying Vance’s recently accelerated racism by thinking “the ends justify the means” (power) or some bullshit like that. As you say, she seems to be fine with all of it.

seersnively.bsky.social•166 days ago

She sees the Haitians as "others" just as all the Republicans think of her as outsider other.

ghostyspook.bsky.social•166 days ago

I don’t know her well enough to grasp her motivations but I can’t imagine he’s anything but a terrible husband

artemiss812.bsky.social•166 days ago

Remember the case in the 1920s where the Indian guy argued he was white (and therefore eligible for citizenship) because of the caste system?

odanaos.bsky.social•166 days ago

wat

erikas.online•165 days ago

I thought it was because he was, indeed, Aryan—but yeah that happened.

(He lost.)

andyroz.bsky.social•165 days ago

I can see where this is headed. He's setting the bar so low that when he says anything true and/or not unhinged, he'll be lauded as "presidential" at Fox.

annabellelecter.bsky.social•166 days ago

This is Palmer Raid/ Holocaust levels of vile

potatocouch.bsky.social•166 days ago

Maybe journalists should demand proof from politicians to substantiate their claims. Vance et al have reporters running around, doing work to debunk this shit, it would be better to tell him “I won’t report on it unless you provide evidence”

yoqueray.bsky.social•166 days ago

"Therefore, human-sofa relations are far safer"

jakkb77.bsky.social•165 days ago

Don't give air time to JD Vance!

coigue.bsky.social•165 days ago

One step removed from “taking our women”

tubapeter.bsky.social•166 days ago

Aren't asylum seekers given vaccines and physicals and stuff like that? Wouldn't they be HEALTHIER as a group than most citizens? Or am I just picturing movies set on Ellis Island?

Also as a citizen of Harris County TX (pop. 4+ million), a county of 135,000 is cute.

travelincatdoc.bsky.social•165 days ago

So he lies openly and constantly, and is in the running to be one step from the presidency

vaughnhalla.bsky.social•166 days ago

Vance lost touch with Ohioans a long time ago. He doesn't even have an automated system to confirm receipt of an email from a constituent. My mom is very involved in politics here in OH, so she often emails officials. Kaptor and Brown always send letters back. Vance's office never responds.

thejefe.bsky.social•166 days ago

Let me guess. He saw it on the television.

phodient.bsky.social•165 days ago

Speaking of communicable diseases, the syphilis rate in Butler/Warren counties (where Vance is from) seems to have skyrocketed in 2022-23 per https://odh.ohio.gov/wps/wcm/connect/gov/f6300fc2-777a-4a27-b4c5-16fe00c0085f/TotSyp1923.pdf

onyx416.bsky.social•166 days ago

If the false construct of race and racial superiority/inferiority, didn’t live rent free in the vast majority of American minds to some extent - these kind of attacks wouldn’t work, but they do.

deathginger.bsky.social•166 days ago

It's a vicious, racist lie.

christinevn-hfe.bsky.social•165 days ago

They are both sick evil men !

tentaclemacrame.bsky.social•166 days ago

“Actually have declined”

linuxrebel.org•166 days ago

What, a thousand percent increase? They went from 0 to 1. Funny how statistics work.

mementomori4950.bsky.social•166 days ago

He should be sued

missmastermind.bsky.social•166 days ago

All of this racist bullshit is about pulling attention away from Harris/Walz. It doesn't matter if he, or even trumpanzees, believe it. It is about clout and clicks. The modern GOP is little more than influencer culture.
You are talking about Vance instead of Walz. That is all that matters to them.
