Voters: We hate high gas prices. Our groceries are more expensive. It seems like you're just lining your pockets at our expense. JD Vance: The voters have spoken. They blame the Jews. Voters: so that's a no on lowering gas prices? JD: Haitians eat dogs. Voters: what?

“This is not enough. It was never about the $4 billion.” ---Everyone who said it was about the $4 billion. Next demands: Cut diplomatic ties. Dismantle Israel. Erase Israel from maps. Arrest anyone who remembers where it was. How do I know? I read Arabic... The English subtitles haven't caught up yet.
