There are no countries in the Middle East with names that are difficult to pronounce or confusingly spelled in English. They're all pretty simple. Several are only four or five letters.

JD Vance says of the Middle East that it's "a region of the world made up of countries whose name I couldn't even pronounce"

Q: Why shouldn't Alaskans find it insulting that the administration is suggesting they can't read the word 'incumbent' on their ballot and know to vote for Sen. Sullivan? JD VANCE: People are busy. People have lives. People have jobs.

Besides the whole saving the knowledge of antiquity and the numerals and the science and the exquisite art, it's pretty easy to google Arab Nobel prize winners

The guy should read a book now and again. Maybe the worm ate the part of his brain that had some history in it.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Found it – where’s my $1 million? You can wire it straight to the 10,000 election workers who are volunteering their time to protect against your efforts to steal the midterms.

NEW: Trump is offering $1 million to anyone who reports cases of "voter fraud" in the midterms or past elections that lead to a conviction. It's his latest attempt to present rare cases of illegal voting as a widespread problem that threatens U.S. elections. https://demdock.com/4zaT6fH

It’s grotesque—and tells you everything you need to know about whose interests this war is really serving. He’s the most corrupt president in American history. BY FAR.

When we say “Trump owns this war,” we don’t just mean politically. He’s literally profiting off it—to the tune of tens of millions of dollars. The next time he says high gas prices are “a small price to pay," remember: 🟢 Trump’s not paying for it 🟢 The longer it drags on, the more money he makes

This is just pure racism. Republicans objectively are campaigning on little more than bigotry.
