      Was about to say. I think a lot of people forget Musk is actually South African. Except weirdly the Trump fans don’t seem to mind that. I wonder why that might be…

        Well Trump did just announce that his “golden” immigration card was now available for anybody willing to pony up $5 million. So Musk (and others) can now legally bribe his way into legal US citizenship if he really wants to.

          Musk is already a US citizen. But you can be sure there will be plenty of Saudi princes, foreign billionaires or whatever that will drop a quick 5 mil on however this corrupt process works and become a citizen without ever having to get off their yacht or whatever

      And Trump married an immigrant while Vance’s wife is a second generation immigrant. I know they aren’t smart enough for this to be some special ploy, conservatives regularly can’t extend empathy beyond things in front of their faces even if they can do so up until that point, but it just goes to show that whether they’re lying to fear-monger or just unable to have compassion at scale they clearly aren’t fit for office.

        Vance’s wife is a second generation immigrant.

        what blows my mind is that she’s brown. It’s just complete “I’ll be part of the boot, not the face” BS.

            except for when it isn’t, like how here we’re saying that they literally keep marrying brown women, and indians no less, who have lately been getting a whole lot of shit online.

              They see them as the “good ones” because they will make the babies and/or are “hot”. If JD wasn’t a fucking empty human and could get another woman, he.will almost certainly drop his current wife when she begins to not pass that “hot test” benchmark so he can stay in the women haters club.

              Although if Miller had his way he would deport them all. That man has no heart, and only misery and hate brings him anything resembling joy.
