Republicans: continued

[L'Emmerdeur]

JD Vance likes the 'pet-eaters' story too much to let it go. He also continues to insist that the Haitians in Springfield are 'illegal migrants' despite the fact that most of them are in the US legally.

'CNN’s Dana Bash Shuts Down JD Vance’s Migrant-Pets Claim in Blistering Fact-Check'

Vice presidential candidate and Ohio Sen. JD Vance seemingly took credit on Sunday for propagating the media bonanza over baseless claims of pet-eating in Springfield, Ohio, that made their way to last week’s presidential debate—even as it led to bomb threats at offices and schools in the city.

“The American media totally ignored this stuff until Donald Trump and I start talking about cat memes,” Vance told CNN’s Dana Bash on State of the Union. “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.”

“Sorry, you just said that you're creating the story,” Bash shot back. “You just said that this is a story that you created. So, the eating dogs and cats thing is not accurate?”

“I say that we're creating a story, meaning we're creating the American media focusing on it,” Vance clarified. “I didn't create 20,000 illegal migrants coming into Springfield thanks to Kamala Harris’ policies. Her policies did that. But yes, we created the actual focus that allowed the American media to talk about this story and the suffering caused by Kamala Harris’ policies.”

The Republicans can be proud of this one. ProPublica goes into excruciating detail relaying the story of a woman in Georgia who suffered complications from a self-administered chemical abortion, sought care at her hospital, was denied care until she was on the verge of death (per Georgia law) and died on the operating table. This is unlikely to be a unique case, and more will come to light as the Republican's overturning of Roe v. Wade continues to reverberate across the US.

'Abortion Bans Have Delayed Emergency Medical Care. In Georgia, Experts Say This Mother’s Death Was Preventable.'

In her final hours, Amber Nicole Thurman suffered from a grave infection that her suburban Atlanta hospital was well-equipped to treat.

She’d taken abortion pills and encountered a rare complication; she had not expelled all of the fetal tissue from her body. She showed up at Piedmont Henry Hospital in need of a routine procedure to clear it from her uterus, called a dilation and curettage, or D&C.

But just that summer, her state had made performing the procedure a felony, with few exceptions. Any doctor who violated the new Georgia law could be prosecuted and face up to a decade in prison.

Thurman waited in pain in a hospital bed, worried about what would happen to her 6-year-old son, as doctors monitored her infection spreading, her blood pressure sinking and her organs beginning to fail.

It took 20 hours for doctors to finally operate. By then, it was too late.

The otherwise healthy 28-year-old medical assistant, who had her sights set on nursing school, should not have died, an official state committee recently concluded.

Tasked with examining pregnancy-related deaths to improve maternal health, the experts, including 10 doctors, deemed hers “preventable” and said the hospital’s delay in performing the critical procedure had a “large” impact on her fatal outcome.

Expert-level dipshit JD Vance has a brilliant idea. While his own rhetoric is apparently an outstanding example of proper political discourse, the Democratic Party is inciting violence by pointing out the fascistic ambitions of Trump and himself and they need to cut it out.

'Vance Claims Difference Between Dems and Republicans Is "No One Has Tried to Kill Kamala Harris"'

JD Vance has called for the heat to be taken out of American political debate after what appears to be a second assassination attempt against running mate Donald Trump.

But the Republican vice presidential candidate still appeared to blame Democrats for the threats to the former president’s life, saying Monday that “the big difference between conservatives and liberals is no one has tried to kill Kamala Harris.”

Appearing in public for the first time since the foiled assassination attempt on Sunday, Vance asserted that Democrats need to “cut this crap out” and “tone down the rhetoric.”

He later denied any responsibility for over 30 bomb threats made in Springfield, Ohio, after he and Trump repeatedly pushed false claims about Haitian migrants eating people’s pets there.

Harris’s comments came on the heels of an investigation published by ProPublica on Monday, recounting the circumstances surrounding the 2022 death of Amber Nicole Thurman, a medical assistant from Georgia. The outlet called the case the first “preventable” abortion-related death to be confirmed, and said it would name a second in coming days.

...Springfield has received more than 33 bomb threats since Trump’s statements at the debate. Its city hall was evacuated, along with some local schools. Springfield hospitals are also on alert, and Haitian immigrants say they have received several threats.

“People that are hardworking, contributing to our communities, are not the danger,” Ibarra said. “The danger is all of these violent ideologies that are being fueled by the people that repeat these lies, by the people that go on social media and on TV and continue to repeat them.”

Who are these Republicans planning to go to war with, and whose army will they use? A line is being crossed here, and I'm not alone in thinking that way. I heard a former Republican leader talking about this bunch being a "clear and present danger", obviously hinting at least that the feds have legitimate grounds to act to stop these clowns.

Most important issue in the election is illegal immigrants. Because....

....they get free stuff

[Sean Hayden]

--they should also add why the rich guy convinced him of that too, because that's the best bit, it's not even so the rich guy can do something about the immigrants. He may just hope to get a leader that will help him avoid "death taxes". --it's rotten how they control all the influence to manipulate us.
