      Well, next time someone brings up Kirk [1], I’ll have to remember Vance’s quote here.

      [1] Not sure that someone will, though. I still remember most people’s reaction when he was shot and it was: “Who?”

    Every time we do something like this, I try to imagine how unhinged the response would be if the roles were reversed.

    Had Iran blew up an American wedding on US soil. Just imagine for a moment what the fallout of an event like that would be.

    Or even worse, a fucking elementary school full of children.

    Nukes would be on the table.

    I cant wait to quote “Things happen” in regards to something that happens to Vance.

    He’s so lucky that he can just brush off murders while remaining a “good Christian”. Most rational people would be crushed under the weight of the cognitive dissonance.

      The abrahamic faiths are death cults. Vance and others believe that slaughtering their enemies (and any collateral damage done) is god’s will.

        abrahamic faiths

        I remember having many discussions with some strident xtians about how that’s not really a thing, or that xtianity doesn’t really count.

        It still makes me laugh.

          I was raised south baptist. We sang “father Abraham… had many sons… Many sons had father Abraham…”

          More recently I read some of Genesis for myself. Father Abraham’s wife could not conceive, so he raped her slave instead. The slave ran away. God sent an angel to tell the slave to return to Abraham and have his rape baby, which she did.

          It’s not the only time rape is condoned in the bible. Horrible book.

      In no way trying to defend him, hes hardly unique in this regard. Deplorable, but at best hes just overtly deplorable.

      I think the shamelessness is the hallmark of this government.

    Nice quote. When he faces his sentence for crimes against humanity when Americans finally put all these people on trial, I hope he’s reminded of it.

      Ofc I agree with your morals because I’m not a monster but big lol on that one. Americans have had only murderous sociopaths for leaders and they have never been on trial like that else they would’ve all been either incarcerated or executed, what are you smoking? 😅🙃

        I’m just looking at Germany as an example. I know it’s wishful thinking.

        Some of us looked at Nazi Germany and said “that’s something that should never happen again”. Some looked at it and said “okay but how can we get away with it next time?”.

    “What I can say with 100% confidence is that, unlike the [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps] IRGC, the United States never targets civilians in combat,” Vance continued. “We never will do that. We never have done that, and unfortunately, obviously, sometimes things happen.”

    There’s enough gas there to light up the entire planet. What a lying cunt.

    Here’s hoping ‘things happen’ to James.

    James Donald Bowman, as he’s actually named by his parents and which name I chose to use to remind him of his wretched upbringing, is a despicable human being and belongs in a jail cell.

    I live in the West and if the price for getting rid of America, nuclearly speaking, was also dropping nukes on the UK and Western Europe, I’d take it. What a bunch of degenerate monsters, what a cancer in this world. I’m so tired of these cunts.
