If they both made it up, why aren't there calls for both to resign?
You can't resign from a job you don't have!
He can resign from society like Howard Hughes. I wish he would.
And then write Harry Potter style books about himself!
I commend your commitment to the gag!
Thanks! Now that I've got a fan base to disappoint, it's time say something disturbingly sexist or transphobic.
This is ridiculous. How do you not already have Holywood breaking down your doors for film rights Σ(ﾟ∀ﾟﾉ)ﾉ
Or just save his toenail clippings in jars like Hughes. Whatever. Just go into Mar-a-Lago and never come out of his room again.
I thought he saved his urine in jars
Then again, I guess you can save multiple things in jars
for that he would need to have some kind of a honor code :/
Maybe we can reinstitute societal shunning?
We tried to.
Called it cancelling.
Well they technically didn’t make it up. They are repeating the words from a Neo-Nazi group called Blood Tribe who were marching through Springfield with Swastika flags.
Could actually be worse than just making it up.

Instead of being a dumbass that's a bit racist, he's a mouthpiece for Nazi propaganda. That's a whole lot worse than making it up.
And entirely on brand
I've seen this repeated a few times and I don't think it really holds up. Drake Berentz (who gives his name as Nate Haggers because racists think that's funny) did not really mention anything about eating pets. The guy is a piece of shit and maybe they helped spread the initial post but that piece of shit's words at the council meeting are not the source. It really just seems to stem from the casually racist Karen on social media who is sad now that everything has blown up.
Although if Berentz (who is a carnie) is the one who made the fake 911 call back in late August about Haitians eating geese in the park, I am clearly wrong.
I was reading about those Blood Tribe assholes, they are a Nazi gang that moved into the area about a year ago specifically to stir up hatred in the community.
Because only one of them is actively serving as a US Senator for Ohio, the state in which the supposed migrant pet eating crisis is taking place. The other doesn't have a job to resign from.
Ohhhhh, that makes sense. It would probably help if I read the article, but I hate giving these people clicks. I thought the headline was talking about resigning from running for VP.
A conservative king can lie as he pleases it would seem, but apparently their VPs are expendable.
We already learned that in the aftermath of Jan 6th.
My question is why do these people continue lining up to serve said “king”?
Maybe that's why they ended up with Vance as the pick? A relative newcomer who'd risk getting sacrificed to become a more hosehold name? I can certainly imagine others looking on at the at end of Pence's tenure and choosing to avoid the position.
If anything, I’d imagine they picked Vance because he was willing and eager to do whatever it takes to win.
There were a number of other choices lined up too: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/trump-vp-pick-2024-candidates-odds.html
