Well, there's my answer to how the left will treat JD and any other R after Trump retires.
And Psaki did this with no proof whatsoever. Just words. And only one side does this on a regular basis.

That's a direct quote from JD vance.
They lie to you to increase your feelings of victimization.
Why don't you be honest and include the rest of JD's quote?
"It comes from firsthand accounts from my constituents. I say that we're creating a story, meaning we're creating the American media's focusing on it... we created the actual focus that allowed the American media to talk about this story and the suffering caused by Kamala Harris's policies."
That one has no originality to him. He is incapable of thinking for himself, so he parrots whatever talking points his handlers feed him. Keep engaging him, and you'll figure it out on your own; he's too conditioned to reason with. He is as intellectually dishonest as his mentor, the Village Idiot.
And besides, they never use the full speech to provide context, always sound bites taken completely out of context for the benefit of the dem base, who are incapable of thinking things through for themselves.
can you explain why you think the longer version of vance saying hes making it up is better than the shorter version of vance saying hes making it up?
I know you guys dont care about facts at all, but the fact is that the "first hand account" already found her cat hiding in her basement by the time vance started crafting his "story".

i'm very sorry that the truth is completely at odds with the maga agenda yet again, but you'll have to wait for a later date to ignore all facts just to own the libs.

By the way at the time, the “ firsthand accounts” had clarified they found their cat hiding in the basement and apologized for the harm they caused
Provide sources for the assertion about the firsthand account being about cats, or admit that you're simply a lying sleazeball.
"...we created the actual focus..." Yeah, that does sound much better than your attempt at misrepresenting what was said. Big surprise there...
I guess it's not unreasonable to assume that since you ate up all the lies the dems have told you since 2008, you don't recognize the truth when you see it.
Damn, I want to be there when the realization hits you like a piano falling from the sky. You've been lied to and sold downriver by your own people.

lol I'm not the one being lied to. "we created the focus"
Quote:The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday said Springfield City Manager Bryan Heck took a call earlier this month from someone who said they were a member of Ohio Sen. JD Vance's staff. Vance's employee, according to the media outlet, asked if the claim was true.
“He asked point-blank, 'Are the rumors true of pets being taken and eaten?'" Heck told The Wall Street Journal. “I told him no. There was no verifiable evidence or reports to show this was true. I told them these claims were baseless.”
Police in the area alsosaid the claims were false.
we created the focus. LOL you guys will fall for anything if dear leader says it. Remember he doesn't just **** on the cities with people exercising their first amendment rights, he ***** on you too. You guys just like it as long as he owns the libs and terrorizes brown people.

No wonder you're sympathetic to Dems. You're apparently an effing moron who knows zero about me and probably everybody else on here.
I'm lots of things, but sure as hell not a victim. That's beyond absurd. 
And who cares what JD says? I don't give a crap about Rs or Ds. At the moment, I just happen to align much closer to what the Rs are doing than what that moron you likely voted for was doing for 4 years.
I don't believe almost anybody, not JD, and especially not you. And JD has nothing to do with what Psaki said. She manufactured that without any help.
Typical reaction when you realize you fell for propaganda…again
   Dammit, son, you can't be so naive and expect to be taken seriously. That one sentence perfectly describes the democratic Party, except that democrats rarely realize they've been duped. You're the epitome of that dynamic, which is what endears you to your dear leaders.
ALL the left has in their bag anymore is rank propaganda. And it's of such poor quality that Goebbels would have whoever produced it put in the ovens along with the Jews.

Who in the world said anything about terrorizing brown people?
This is why we on the right don't want to talk to people on the left like you. You always assume the worst of us because that's what your leaders and your media figure heads tell you to think of us, and then you go looking for Nazis and Klansmen when none exist.
Not all of us are hard-core MAGA either. I'm certainly not. But, just by voting for Trump, I'm an evil person.

They are infected with hate. They will believe anything that can validate their hate. If it turns out to be lies then they convince themselves that it ‘could’ have been real. Then they proceed to the next lie even more full of hate because the last lie didn’t get the job done. It is self replicating mental illness.

 That you don't realize how much you are projecting here makes this deliciously funny. You're just not cut out for this; lacking wit and a sharp tongue that can intelligently articulate trash makes you just another simp.

I thought the boomers grew up in the 1950s and ’60s — after the Great Depression and WWII, but before “stagflation” and rising interest rates and high gas prices.
But I could be forgetting what years the Boomers were born.

Keep yapping, moron. You're really bad at this. You still don't get that I'm not an R, I just sound like one for now, b/c the side you support is so much worse. I actually prefer that both parties fade into oblivion.
And what JD said is totally irrelevant to the subject at hand, but you're apparently too dense to figure that out.
OK not an R but falling for all the propaganda and regurgitating all the talking points, got it.
So.Much.Projection.
I can see it now; they're all gathered together in a Zoom meeting or on a conference call, telling each other the talking points and how they need to start using our own language against us, so they've co-opted terms like "dear leader," "logical fallacy," "regurgitate talking points," etc., and are trying to use them to craft their narratives.
They don't understand that we've been using such language for so long now that we recognize instantly what they're trying to do. They want to reach their base the way we reach ours. This all comes back around to the fact that they have nothing, not one thing, to offer the American people. So they have to steal and co-opt from us, their opponents. They say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery...
They also can't comprehend that conservatives are not a monolithic voting bloc, we don't necessarily go along with the GOP on everything they do or say, but these days it's the only party even trying to appeal to conservatives, so for now they have my support.

lol you're so untriggerable you're going around and responding to all my posts that are days old one by one. Got it. You're as soft as dear leader. He can't take any criticism its why he falls out with anybody willing to tell him a speck of truth.

Greasy thought it would endear him to the Commies, it failed, like the high speed rail line.

GC, I did not say that the Republicans would not have a primary in 2028. I said that if Donald Trump reverts to form, and for whatever reason withholds his endorsement of JD Vance, that Vance would not be the nominee. For the record, I think that JD Vance would make an excellent president. But I also think the Marco Rubio or Ron DeSantis or several others would be just as good, if not better. What I don’t much like is the unhealthy sense that the selection will not come down to primary results so much as it will to who gets the imperial blessing. For those who worship Donald Trump (and I know that is NOT you), that may be okay. For those of us who are not Trump worshippers, that should not be okay.
sk, telling other posters to “chill out” with a storm of “reeeee” and emoji replies is why you so often are not to be taken seriously. You are a smart guy. I’ve seen you make very insightful posts, particularly on the always complicated question of the Ukraine mess. If you constantly want to hide your smarts behind a clown mask, feel free. But it makes you about as easy to ignore as posts from Tom.
3A, you also are better than that. The reflexive resort to the TDS charge is pure laziness. I am flattered that you seem to care whether I personally like or dislike Donald Trump. But it has nothing to do with the point being made: that Donald Trump (i) has a history of interfering in elections involving other candidates and (ii) he has clearly demonstrated that his personal feelings take precedence over who is the best candidate. And I think it politically unhealthy that he may flex those same narcissistic muscles in the 2028 primary. He’s don “zero” to make anyone think that? C’mon. Be serious. His disgraceful behavior during the 2021 Ga. senatorial runoff elections is the most glaring example. But not the only one.
I think you misunderstood my post. First, I don't give a rat's ass whether you like Trump or not. I just think your attitude toward him is interesting.
Personally, I don't like Trump. Never have, ever since he signed Herschel Walker in 1980. Too much of a blowhard for my taste. Everything is about him.
But I do like his policies a helluva lot better than Biden's, which is why I support him. I just try to ignore his personality.
As for "He's done zero to make anyone think that," I was talking SPECIFICALLY about his behavior toward Vance, not his personality in general, or previous actions elsewhere.
Find something he said or did that indicated he might turn on Vance in particular. I certainly haven't seen it.

Fair response, 3A.
With regard to your last point (clipped above), I don't have an instance that I am aware of in which he has lashed out at JD Vance. What I have instead is a long list that I could recite of him lashing out at other allies - - sometimes provoked (Elon and Kemp, for two examples) and sometimes not (DeSantis for this example). Will it happen to Vance? I hope not. But I wouldn't take an even-odds bet that it won't.
Remember the context here:
--> Claw (post #102) stated a concern that the media was going to target their slander upon JD Vance, the presumptive 2028 Republican nominee.
--> AM (post #103) responded that the media is not the problem for JD Vance. No one pays them much attention anymore, and Vance is way too skilled at dealing with their b.s. anyway. The bigger (and likely only) problem for Vance will be if he somehow finds himself on Trump's  -list. If that happens, he will not be the nominee.
--> Followed by lots of offense taken by those who think that I should not be stating negative concerns about what Trump might do (but has not yet done).
I felt like my comment was a fair one. I understand that the consensus thinks otherwise.

I thought the boomers grew up in the 1950s and ’60s — after the Great Depression and WWII, but before “stagflation” and rising interest rates and high gas prices.
But I could be forgetting what years the Boomers were born.

I could have saved us both a whole lot of typing by adding the words "to Vance" to my post.
But I do find your TDS amusing. Actually, I'm not critical of it, I just think it's entertaining. I don't know many people who likely voted for him that have such a bad case of it.
I can dismiss the libs' TDS, b/c they oppose everything Trump does, but your TDS is a different flavor altogether, and has nothing to do with opposing Trump on everything, as you clearly don't.
I find that interesting. That's really all I was commenting on.
Also, I think it's possible Trump could turn on Vance. He could do that to anybody. I just don't think it's likely. Have Trump and Vance disagreed on anything yet?
