    “But given Donald Trump’s long record of expressing disdain for service members, veterans, and their families, it’s unsurprising that his running mate has stooped to such lows.”

    the gift that keeps on giving. now it's the irish

    JD Vance blames higher crime rates on 'wave of Irish immigration' in resurfaced clip (msn.com)


    In another resurfaced clip, Republican vice-presidential candidate JD Vance made a bold statement about US crime rates, blaming immigrants from Ireland.

    The clip from 2021, which has been circulating on X, shows Vance speaking in a Skype interview. He discussed early waves of immigration to the United States, pointing out the ‘rise in crime’ he felt ensued as a consequence.

    "You had this massive wave of Italian, Irish and German immigration,” Vance said, “and that had its problems, its consequences. You had higher crime rates, you had these ethnic enclaves, you had inter-ethnic conflict in the country where you really hadn't had that before."

    I'm all for pooping on Vance whenever I can, but there were definitely issues with Irish crime gangs in the late 1800s that bled into organized crime in the early 1900s. Technically I think he's correct.

    While I agree with you, maybe we can take a page from the maga playbook and just make a 20 page thread on something taken out of context.
    You know, get our Karen on.

    Great way to woo suburban women, bring on an abuser. This after you’ve called child free women less than, tell older women that their REAL purpose is to be grandmothers, and that your family is only valid if dad is the breadwinner and mom stays home with your biological children (Project 2025)

    I’m always amazed that a lot of you (right and left) forget that women are half of the electorate. Probably a good time to remind you that women couldn’t get a credit card in their own name without husband or dad’s signature until 1974. No going backwards, sorry.

    The Black Hand is a great book about crime in the US following the big waves of Italian immigration.

    It’s funny, then, that the couple people I know who are rabid Trump supporters are suburban women.

    Seriously, who watched Gangs of New York and thought that Bill the Butcher was the good guy fighting ethnic enclaves?
