Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

JD Vance accused Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) of having “definitely committed immigration fraud” and said that he’d recently spoken with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller about how best to “go after her.”

Speaking on a podcast hosted by MAGA influencer Benny Johnson on Friday, Vance was asked about claims that Omar had defrauded the United States by marrying her brother to secure his legal residency.

The unsubstantiated claim has circulated in MAGA circles for years but has been denied by Omar multiple times. The congresswoman was born in Somalia but moved to Minneapolis with her family in 1997, fleeing the civil war.

Um.... Melania? Where you at?

Things JD Vance Hates:

  • Brown people
  • Women
  • Muslims
  • Anti-fascists

Ilhan Omar is everything he hates and she is one of the few people in power in the government who actually stands up against tyranny. No surprises here.

Which is extra weird considering this is his wife:

She’s probably a self hating Asian who would rather have a racist partner as long as he’s white than be with an Asian man. It’s like short women who only want a tall partner because they feel insecure and need to compensate. But here it’s a woman who feels that her non-whiteness is inferior and thus she needs to compensate by marrying a white man. And with that inferiority complex she attracts racist men.

There are way too many racist white man with an Asian wife for it to be a coincidence.

Remember, Elon Musk was in America on a student visa but working for his brother's company instead of attending school. That's visa fraud, which you're required to disclose on any subsequent visa or citizenship applications. He didn't, so he's also guilty of immigration fraud.

Anyone who runs on seizing his assets and locking that illegal immigrant in a detention facility gets my vote

he learned from the best.

Threatening to use your office to go after someone for political points should carry penalties.

[–] 800XL@lemmy.world 7 points 1 hour ago

Every authoritarian fascist gov't leader does it. He's just running the playbook.

Ozempic Vance? They grooming him to take over

While we’re at it, I’ve never seen trumps long form birth certificate. Is he even American?

[–] chahn.chris@piefed.social 31 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Never seen any tax returns either, is he even a contributing member of society?

[–] apex32@lemmy.world 9 points 1 hour ago

During the 2016 debate, Hillary Clinton called him out on paying no federal taxes some years. His response was, "that makes me smart."

Huh I didn't notice JD got Ozemic until just now.

J. D. Vance and Trump are the kind of people that simply don't deserve to be part of a society, because all they do is evil and selfish.
They should be expelled to live in some remote uninhabited region, and never be allowed back to civilization.
But since we don't have that practice, they are also the kind of people that actually deserve the death penalty, because they have caused mass death of innocent people, contrary to many that have actually received a death penalty.
These people are so despicable that they are no better than serial killers, yet at election day half the voters supported getting such an administration. And still more than a third support them, and the only reason it has declined is because of oil prices going up. All the sociopathic shit they do is OK!

MAKE OSTRACISM GREAT AGAIN

Interesting. Odd that they did not go after the Musk rat who admitted to that same offence.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 31 points 4 hours ago

As usual, bullshit has been asked and answered.

https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/12/02/ilhan-omar-brother-marriage/

tl;dr - her marriages may have been screwed up, but they weren't illegal.

[–] celeste@kbin.earth 11 points 4 hours ago

You know, before this current time, I was naive about the depth of hatred I was capable of feeling. She's already been attacked multiple times because of the kind of rhetoric he's spreading here. Like, I understand why they do it.

LBJ:

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

I get it, but I despise them for it, still.

[–] etherphon@piefed.world 7 points 3 hours ago

He would know, he is commiting person fraud, he is giant fraud himself. You can tell just by looking at him, it's all over his stupid face, he's a terrible liar even when he's not lying.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 13 points 4 hours ago

Intimidation, blackmail. Add em to the list.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 4 hours ago

Cant fucking stand this. I hope the end is not quick for him, and is not far off.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca -1 points 3 hours ago

What? Someone must have told him to say that.
