  1. If they stop all the bullshitting and bombast, they won’t have anything left, will they, dobbers.

  2. They won’t correct shit, maga Nazis know better than to go against their fuher.

  3. I know I’ll be down voted but, the scary part is it’s mostly true what he said, only that silent prayer won’t be arrested but if the police heard you had a silent prayer event they may go in and break it up, facts are that letter was sent to houses in the zones

  4. What he said was a distortion of the truth, but not a lie, per se. Plus, who cares? Spouting garbage is all they’ve got.

  5. Astounding how one country could single handedly alienate almost every single ally it has in just 3 weeks. Decades of foreign policy and relationship building utterly obliterated in one fell swoop.

  6. He wasn’t lying, moron doesn’t know what he’s talking about

  7. In some ways he is correct though, some of the nonsense coming out of Scotland politics is beyond belief. It depends on degrees of madness I think at a political level. I don’t know who is more mad Vance or MSPs

  8. I can’t take anything a serial sofa fucker says.. sad fucker is so deep in the closet he can’t tell his boss looks like an orange drag queen with more foundation on, then his wife

  9. How J.D. Vance behaved is the actual state of U.S. politics right now. They are outright lying, they call it “alternative facts”. They have been doing this for the past 9 years, ever since convicted felons first term. U.S. democracy is over. It won’t come back. The conservatives have a base of convicted felon supporters who would actually tear you limb from limb with their bare hands if they were told to. They are ok with racism, sexism and outright lying, because that matches their personalities.

    If J.D. Vance steps foot over there again, he should meet real Scottish hospitality.

  10. Vance is dumb af, but I feel this is him to gain brownie points after Trump said JD wouldn’t be the 2028 Nominee for President. So this is Vance trying to prove to Elon and Donald that he is enough of an arsehole to run in the next election.

    Still of the opinion that 2028 will be Harris vs. Vance, with Kamala taking back the White House as the first female President. Vance (and many other Republicans) just doesn’t have the same pull as Trump does.

  11. perhaps Gillian Mackay could let us know which bits were lies, and refute them?

    >Now, I wish I could say that this was a fluke, a one-off, crazy example of a badly written law being enacted against a single person. But no. This last October, just a few months ago, the Scottish government began distributing letters to citizens whose houses lay within so-called safe access zones, warning them that even private prayer within their own homes may amount to breaking the law. Naturally, the government urged readers to report any fellow citizens suspected guilty of thought crime in Britain and across Europe.

    I had a lively discussion the other day with some folk who denied the existence of this letter, but It does exists, and does say exactly what he said it did. With the clarification that we mean private prayer as a form of visible protest, rather than in your bedroom.

  12. Why is he talking about Scotland? Did he hear about one of our DFS sales events or something?

  13. He could have stuck to the facts and made very similar points, but why bother sticking to facts when everyone knows the politics of “Western democracies” are just degenerating into a massively multiplayer online slanging match.

  14. Everyone doesn’t worship abortion the why Scotland does. We get it. Continue to suppress other religions. At least until “the religion of peace” takes over

  15. He brings up an about a minor case in Scotland, as if it’s a major world issue, while in the US school kids get shot at on a weekly basis and it’s participating in a Genocide . What a stupid speech during a security conference and a complete waste of time when Europe is at war. Go back to the US to serve the orange rapist.

  16. This doesn’t change anything, but I did find something helpful about the articulate, unbridled rage in this blog:

    [The Worst and the Dimmest](https://www.the-reframe.com/the/)

    First time I’ve actually been tempted to pay for a substack.

    The glimmer of hope is that when these incompetent arseholes finally run out of road, a hopefully more organised and ruthless coalition of civic interests will make sure nothing like this can happen again.

  17. This is what they (Trump, Musk, Vance and MAGA) do. They lie just about every time they open their mouths and dare you to correct them. This has been going on since before Trump ran the first time, when he challenged Obama’s birthplace. It’s maddening and dangerous. Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter when you present them with facts. They don’t care. I’m so sorry our VP is spreading lies but is par for the course. This administration is like an abusive spouse in isolating Americans from our friends. I know boycotts will hurt us but I can think of no other way at this point to get reality into MAGA heads. And I’m not sure that will work given the dangerous idiocy at work here.

  18. Maybe explain how what he said was factually wrong might be a better tactic than just upping the rhetoric.

    The linked article did not explain that at all.

  19. They don’t correct any of their other lies, you think they give a fuck about offending Scotland?…
