And those Haitians are here legally. Which mean Trump welcomed them and gave them legal status.

Means nothing. Obviously the deep state let them in on Trump's watch. It must be dismantled*

*If Trump's campaign is reading this, I want credit for this excuse.

This is rich. Vance asked a former professor to delete an article that was about as 100% opposite to the 2024 Vance as you could be. This was not four years later after he penned the article, which admittedly is longer than most former anti-trump republicans.

Among some of the choicer ideas that apparently Vance no longer believes in:

A significant part of Republican immigration policy centers on the possibility of deporting 12 million people (or ‘self-deporting’ them),” Vance wrote. “Think about it: we conservatives (rightly) mistrust the government to efficiently administer business loans and regulate our food supply, yet we allegedly believe that it can deport millions of unregistered aliens. The notion fails to pass the laugh test. The same can be said for too much of the party’s platform...

When the 2008 election was called for Obama, I remember thinking: maybe this will teach my party some very important lessons,” Vance wrote. “You can’t nominate people, like Sarah Palin, who scare away swing voters. You can’t actively alienate every growing bloc of the American electorate—Blacks, Latinos, the youth—and you can’t depend solely on the single shrinking bloc of the electorate—Whites. And yet, four years later, I am again forced to reflect on a party that nominated the worst kind of people, like Richard Mourdock, and tried to win an election by appealing only to White people.

Elon Musk is so sacred to Trump:

JD Vance says US could drop support for NATO if Europe tries to regulate Elon Musk’s platforms

JD Vance has suggested that American support for NATO should be predicated on the European Union not regulating Elon Musk and his X social media platform, formerly known as Twitter.

The Republican vice presidential nominee and Ohio senator claimed in an interview with YouTuber Shawn Ryan that a top EU official had threatened to arrest the billionaire if he allowed former President Donald Trump back on X.

“The leader, I forget exactly which official it was within the European Union, but sent Elon this threatening letter that basically said, ‘We’re going to arrest you if you platform Donald Trump,’ who, by the way, is the likely next president of the United States,” Vance said in the interview published last week.

Trump’s running mate then suggested that US support for NATO should be used as a cudgel to get the Europeans in line.

“So what America should be saying is, if NATO wants us to continue supporting them and NATO wants us to continue to be a good participant in this military alliance, why don’t you respect American values and respect free speech?” Vance asked. “It’s insane that we would support a military alliance if that military alliance isn’t going to be pro-free speech. I think we can do both. But we’ve got to say American power comes with certain strings attached. One of those is respect free speech, especially in our European allies.”

Elon is clearly active party is this election and using his media platform to influence things. I do not have hard time thinking he is deferential to Russia. That is frightening that Vance would suggest would be a reason to abandon NATO. NATO is not a charity project. The US benefits from it, significantly.

That's just plain stupid.

This is hideous and an outright lie, if not also a very dangerous one.

Talk about a huge unforced error. Now this is going to dominate the news for another week:

It is increasingly apparent that the Trump Team's strategy is to turn out MAGA and expect that to get them across the finish line in swings states; and then claim election fraud if they lose and maybe even try some administrative/process hijinks to create chaos and uncertainty.
