The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.

Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

(59,322 posts)As if Shady Wanks doesn't ooze comtempt.
But even more, the undercurrent is that Wanks and the Orange Tyranny should never be criticized. Anyone, but particularly non-white non-males, who does criticize is "ungrateful".
The manly man regime is so weak they are unable to withstand any criticism.

Maybe the reason WHY manly MAGAT men have their panties all in a bunch over Black women is because they've, more often than NOT, been in the forefront of the fight TO SAVE DEMOCRACY, even at times when some others have failed to... ahem... rise to the occasion.

(1,365 posts)Nobody asked JD his opinion on Joy Reid. Nobody wants his opinion period. He's sooooo concerned for Joy Reid's happiness he feels it necessary to advise her on her attitude? It is so obvious he's revisiting his admonishment to Zelensky to show "gratitude". But words fail to adequately express the disgust that this makes me feel towards him.
And I love the phrase "non-trolling advice" he uses as he trolls.

Oh, wait, I'm sure he's shown plenty of gratitude to Peter Thiel, his purchaser, by trying to help steer Thiel's crazy-ass worldview into law.

(55,664 posts)Rich people should show more gratitude and appreciation for all this country has done and does for them. Laws and courts and enforcement of property rights, a stabilized banking system, a government that largely lets them do whatever makes the most money, etc.
They can start by paying their fair share of taxes and not constantly trying to lobby the government for endless loopholes and take advantage of every one.
Then they can make sure their workers are paid well and have safe working conditions, and customers actually are satisfied.
I'm suuuure that's what he was talking about. Couldn't possibly be anything else, right?

(802 posts)The contempt Joy shows is for Donald Trump, SCOTUS, you personally and the rest of MAGA. There is a tsunami of that contempt washing over our country as I type this. That contempt was well earned by your constant lies and your deep hatred of America.
Ms. Reid stands out because she has a pulpit. Pay attention beardo.
BaronChocula
(3,484 posts)She doesn't go after America - she goes after people like you who ruin America. She believes that the system in America should work for the majority of Americans unlike you who soldier to consolidate wealth and power by sucking on billion-dollar c*cks and advocating for stripping away rights. Everything you do further marginalizes the people you bad-mouthed in your self-hating bio. You aren't America, buddy. You're the problem with America. Get it straight.

(14,135 posts)So I'm paraphrasing his "thank you" demand to the President of Ukraine, but isn't it really the same thing here, just with the obvious racist, uh... contempt?
MAGA types think Democrats criticize America and fail to see that they are criticizing what Republicans are doing to America.

(94,187 posts)Waking up to the reality that the vice president of the United States deliberately put a target on you is something, Reid wrote on Threads.
Reid noted that as a Black immigrants daughter, Vances framing felt like a direct threat, especially given the rising political hostility toward nonwhite immigrants.
On Substack, Reid wrote that she doesnt feel the need to take advice from a man whose moral North Star is Curtis Yarvin, referencing the far-right political theorist. She added that the idea that Black success requires gratitude to white America is just the same old racist balderdash from the right.

(25,745 posts)he may not realize it now, but his and djt's reputations are shot, and sunk to the deepest part of the oceans. No wonder even though they literally have everything (the republicans) they want, both houses, the supreme court, they still don't have the majority of the American People.

(524 posts)In January Trump made DEI illegal, something which largely affects women and blacks. Hegseth has claimed (at least twice) that diversity is not the source of our military's strength. And Trump's WH has been mocking a black congressman with racially charged imagery which they claim is "just a joke."
