Some people will sincerely believe Vance, and then be offended that Democrats think they’re stupid.

[-] SerotoninSwells@lemmy.world 54 points 2 years ago

“Look, Laura Loomer is not affiliated with the Trump campaign. She said something about curry in the White House that I first read about this morning actually, because I knew that you would ask me about it...” [emphasis my own]

These guys are terrible liars. Between him and Trump, they sound like they have no idea what is going on.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 51 points 2 years ago

I think it's pretty clear she's never even met the orange bad.

[-] madjo@feddit.nl 12 points 2 years ago

Oh look, it's the new Mrs trump. 🤢

[-] smeenz@lemmy.nz 4 points 2 years ago

Well it's not like Melania is going to visit him in jail

[-] madjo@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago

And Laura Loomer will?

[-] groupofcrows@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

The fourth "lady".

[-] shiroininja@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

He has the same taste in women as a 13 year old. trashy. and sometimes 13.

[-] Lookorex@lemm.ee 45 points 2 years ago

She looks like one of the marionettes from Team America

[-] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

OMG that is perfect

[-] sarcasticsunrise@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago

JD Vance is not affiliated with any semblance of objective truth and reality. Most of us have Internet access buddy, you can't gaslight this kinda stuff away

[-] CatsGoMOW@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago

Is this Vance speaking for Trump again? 😂

[-] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 28 points 2 years ago

This must be one of those stories Vance said he makes up in order to help the American people

[-] modifier@lemmy.ca 28 points 2 years ago

And whether you’re eating curry at your dinner table or fried chicken, things have gotten more expensive thanks to her policies.

Oh very interesting choice of contrasting meal. It isn't contrasting Trump, who famously likes his hamberders, so I wonder what it is meant to contrast.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Do you think he might suggest watermelon for dessert when discussing the latter as a meal?

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago

"Loomer is not affiliated with games, playing games and/or wanting to play games. She has never owned a tricycle and she wouldn't even know how to operate one if given the opportunity."

[-] sndmn@lemmy.ca 21 points 2 years ago

It's way easier to get shit stuck to your shoe than wiping it off.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Your comment implies that it's accidental and undesired, whereas in reality they're deliberately painting it on.

[-] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 20 points 2 years ago

We all knew this was coming. I have never meet her. I don't know her. Who is she again? The old Trump Gas Light.

[-] blusterydayve26@midwest.social 18 points 2 years ago

How would he know? Trump doesn’t talk to him.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

Trump doesn't know JD Vance. He's never met him.

[-] Minarble@aussie.zone 4 points 2 years ago

He might have served the coffee?

“If I have to create stories so that the American media actually has to pay attention to the suffering of American people, then that’s what I’m going to do,”

[-] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

All this time I thought it was “Jeffrey Dahmer Vance.”

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Look, Kristen, I make a mean chicken curry. I don’t think that it’s insulting for anybody to talk about their dietary preferences

Was it just like locker-room-talk?

This Vance guy was the perfect choice by Trump. Probably the only thing I agree with in his campaign. (S)
And Laura Loomer is right up there competing with him on being the most brilliant. 🤣🤣🤣

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

When you're rich, they let you be racist.

[-] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Whatever you say Captain Guyliner

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

And they know nothing about project 2025...

I hate trump as much as the next guy but I have to wonder whether it's appropriate to editorialise posts like this?

Like linking to an article, and then providing a rebuttal in the post body. I mean it's funny as hell in this case, but would it be more appropriate as a comment?

Mad respect to flyingsquid, prolific poster, commenter, and active mod. No rules being broken of course. I'm just concerned it might not be the right practice for a news community.

If it were a conservative perspective with MAGA editorial I sure wouldn't appreciate it.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

I don't feel like I was editorializing apart from being sarcastic. I was showing that it was a complete lie. Fact-checking is not editorializing.

"Fact checking" only those articles you disagree with is editorialising.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I'm sorry you don't like it that Laura Loomer is, in fact, part of Trump's campaign, but it's still a fact.

You've misunderstood my concern.

I despise Trump and this vapid weirdo.

I suspect that if a MAGA idiot was posting in this way users would be quick to point out that it's not appropriate for a news community.

That said, I don't want to make a big deal out of it. Do what you like.

[-] SeaJ@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Prepping him for the debate seems like it would be an affiliation...

[-] ryan213@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Guys, it's obviously AI generated.

[-] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

She's about to replace JP Mandell.

[-] ATDA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

So just admitting he has a travel girlfriend, then I guess?
