"These migrants living in poverty have manageable and treatable health conditions!"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Oh then we should provide them with pep, prep, and condoms. It’s 2024 and Ohio has a queer health clinic with branches across the state that can be called up to help stem hiv outbreaks

[–] [email protected] 67 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Just say "black people," Vance. You obviously just mean black people but you don't think you can get away with that, so you say "Haitian immigrants" as if that wasn't a dog whistle so loud that a partially-deaf person could hear it.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

True story. As a black man with a Haitian wife, this is ridic. Its obvious if you listen closely. They are fueled by hate and evil. Wild.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago

And it's not like you can tell whether or not someone is a Haitian just by looking at them. All you know is they're black. This is just racism, plain and simple.

[–] [email protected] 80 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I bet the illegal Haitians are getting HIV from eating illegal trans dogs that cross the border at night after escaping from the Venezuelan mental asylums and being bussed by Biden to Ohio so they can vote under assumed names using stolen birth certificates that belonged to fine upstanding white Americans who died from the Covid hoax. Damn you illegal Haitians!

[–] [email protected] 27 points 4 days ago (2 children)

This is a preposterous claim, not believable at all! You mean to tell me that Bill Gates' 5G nanobots play no role in this?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

It's not the 5g nanobots. They're trying to force us to move to electric so they can control us with our own induction. Cooktops

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Well hell man I thought that it was obvious that Bill Gates's Windows 11 version of 5g is what gave the illegal trans dogs HIV and sentience by allowing the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to bus HIV-positive migrant sex workers to the farm where them dogs got hand jobs and subcutaneous trackers giving them opposable thumbs and an insatiable thirst for fine upstanding white women so to spread the AIDS and replace us with all sorts of brown people from the subcontinent. When Trump wins we can deport them all back to Mexico where they can eat them spicy chili beans and dance around their hats. I ain't getting replaced by some chili bean eaten half Mexican half Haitian half Venuviouswaylen HIV-positive illegal trans dog that eats Haitians from Ohio.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

And people back these crazies?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 days ago

More blood libel from the GOP.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 4 days ago (2 children)

You know, we've made massive leaps in HIV therapies and potential cures. While it's ill-advised to seek out HIV or to treat it as a non-issue, the fact that this is being used as some sort of a scare-tactic by politicians within a world superpower is far more of an indictment of the American healthcare system than it is if any immigrants.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Actually I think it’s more that the people he’s trying to rile up (old people) are stuck in the 80s where getting HIV is a death sentence and it’s only something the gays(tm) get. So not only is it a racist but a homophobic dog whistle.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

I didn't suck a dick so how did I get The HIV?!

Yeah, you're right. Their supporters are primarily older. That's why freaks like Tate are trying so hard to radicalize the youth. They see the writing on the wall.

If dems would stop fucking around and actually cater to young people, we wouldn't have a repub problem.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Oh shit, I didn't even think about that... How long you think until we roll back the name to GRIDS and pretend like straight people can't get it?

Condoms and not sharing needles are just masks for your dick and blood, amirite?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It’s the same scare tactic from the 80’s playbook with Raegan. Trump and conservatives love Reagan politics.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

And the boomers circling the toilet age-wise that love Trump still want the 80s back because that's the last time they were relevant. They were fucked over hard when Reagan deregulated everything and the companies they pledged their lives to sent their good paying manufacturing jobs overseas. They all got fired with little as a thank you, closed the plant(s) and destroyed their towns in the process.

Rather than focus their blame on Reagan and wastes of life like Trump who took advantage of them and redistributed their wealth to the already rich, they're railroaded into believing the guy that wants to raise their taxes by a small percent so that the rich who fleeced them have to give some money back is the bad guy.

Not that it matters because they're too proud to take it and would rather rich people keep everyone's money than let someone who wants the help to get it.

The best part is that they will complain until they are blue in the face that the people owning/running the company they work for are running the place into the ground but defend to the death giving them handouts. The company doesn't have to change and they never have to pay it back - or if they do they still pay almost no taxes or get refunds.

But yea, the single mom who wants help so she can actually see her children grow up and not have to work all the time is the problem.

God, I wish the welfare queen myth were true. If something like that were actually possible, I'd finally believe all the BuT tHE ecOnOmY whiners

JD Vance spreads HIV

~rumours.~

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago

To couches.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I heard JD Vance spreads HIV on his morning toast every day, and then feeds it to his cats. Pass it on.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

I heard Peter Thiel would butter his willlhelm in a spread-out JD Vance every night

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago

If your first crazy idea doesn’t fly try another one.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago

"Flops" means "inspired threats of violence" now?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago

Oh cool, do they also give you cancer?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago

Republicans are saying all the quiet things out loud these days.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago

Oh, returning to a classic I see.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

People like JD Vance are why I am not religious.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago (2 children)

That's a good reason. My reason is because it all sounds made up.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

That’s also a good reason. My reason is because it is all made up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Religion and I are incompatible, as I refuse to follow any rules that say I can't abuse my body. I'm open to the idea that there could be a god... but if so, they likely aren't the loving variety.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I follow my ideals and values. Sometimes they align with religion but also I know human nature is to control and the easiest way is through faith. I just wonder for how long they have been using religion to control. Since the beginning???

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Seems extremely likely. I'd guess that or that religion was initially founded because people couldn't explain why things were happening. Or it could just have come from the purely philosophical argument of what happens before/after death.

Worse - to the couches.
