J. D. Vance is now using the term "blood libel" to describe criticism of ICE!

Shorter JD Vance: You are not allowed to criticize ICE.

Goes along with shorter Pete Hegseth: You are not allowed to criticize the military's action at Wounded Knee.

And shorter Donald Trump: You are not allowed to criticize me.

It's full-on authoritarianism, all the way down.

In one of the replies someone said it better than I can:
Incorrectly invoking the very real blood libel trope to defend a gestapo is literally the most anti-Semitic thing James Bowman could do.

Bill ready to go until JD Vance and Trump squashed it, so not we're attacking random people on the street based on racial profiling.

His wife seems to have gone zombie. But her parents, the professors, the immigrants, the teachers of many international students, must be cringing.

What does he care, though. He might have Trump's approval for an additional month now.

I think the Gestapo was better dressed and better groomed.
