“If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that’s what I’m going to do, because you guys are completely letting Kamala Harris coast.”
Such was JD's inventive rationalization for lying his ass off. And such was Trump's reason for hiring him as second banana, an even littler generalissimo for his designs on a banana republic. Vance's creative moment erupted on CNN’s Dana "State of the Union" program with Dana Bash Sunday, as I'm sure you have read.
I didn't watch the farce, but its additional news was that Bash noted he had admitted to "creating the story." That he defended by counter-noting he'd heard "firsthand accounts from [his] constituents," which is likely true, since Ohio is by and large as crazy as he is. Vance then returned to more bunkum, topping it off with the added benefit of the euphemistic allowed
.
“I didn’t create 20,000 illegal migrants coming into Springfield thanks to Kamala Harris' policies. Her policies did that." Which meant vice presidents, not presidents, now set administration policies, which is JD's design on Trump's designs. "But yes, we created the actual focus that allowed the American media to talk about the story and the suffering caused by Kamala Harris' policies." The latter, another little something he'd do as v.p.
All told, as cynical as political cynicism can get. You're hardly alone. "We talk about abortion, we lose. We talk about immigration, we win," said a Trump adviser. Contrary to winning via chronic lying, Ohio's Republican Governor Mike DeWine said the pet-eating tales are "a piece of garbage that is simply not true."
When Bash said to JD that his and Donald's vile rhetoric has caused bomb threats and potential violence, Guest V. replied that her observation was "disgusting." Clearly a genuine emotion due to the observation's truth.
But there's another side to JD'a manifold admissions. For now he's a non-mustachioed soundalike doppelgänger of another two-bit corporal in the army of Trumpers who scream foul! at public incriminations of the main man and his general staff as "Nazis" and "fascists."
They scream with vigor, they scream it's way over-the-top but typical "liberal" slander. Even if we accept those charges as truthful — though I and millions of others know with epistemological comfort they are neither extreme nor slanderous — we now have a JD-approved, ready-made reply to the delicately outraged.
As he would say were he ever to re-hinge, If we have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the contemptible rhetoric and naked intentions of Trump Inc, and to the unthinkable suffering of the American people who could be subjected to its tyrannies, then that’s what we're going to do.
No longer is there any cause for you and your fellow brownshirted Soldaten, Cpl. Vance, to object to the pointed censure of yet-demonstrated but in-the-bank fascistic designs implanted in Donald's diseased brain.
Of all the enormous reasons not to vote for Trump, JD Vance is one of the most enormousest.
