He won't even stand up for his own kids. What a pathetic man

[–] [email protected] 53 points 1 month ago (2 children)

for these people, kids are a means to an end instead of an end in themselves. like those insufferable rich hags who carry around a tiny lapdog everywhere just to show it off. either that, or the kids are "accidents" doomed to neglect. either way, i'm skeptical of the notion that they actually give a fuck

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Personally I don't understand these kind of people either, who endorse something that directly goes against themselves (e.g. in case of gays in conservative parties) or their children. But I think there also is another way to view this behavior:

Because besides being a father of biracial children, he is one other important thing: rich. And he only gains to get richer from playing towards the maga crowd.

So how much do we actually expect his children to suffer the consequences? They'll probably grow up privileged in good neighborhoods, get great education, own their homes and advance in their careers through connections.

They will be fine, thanks to the dogged efforts of Vance's political opponents.

Probably.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Well he’s made it clear that to him it’s important to have children for appearances and political points.

[–] xc2215x 6 points 1 month ago

The voters don't want him to.

Shay D Vance is weird.

[–] [email protected] 64 points 1 month ago (2 children)

This is basically like if back in 2015 after Trump insulted Ted Cruz's wife, Cruz became his VP pick and defended the insults, haha. Totally spineless, no limit to how far he will debase himself and his family for a position in the administration.

[–] ThinkBeforeYouPost 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's normal. That's what normal people do... Right? Right!?

[–] FuglyDuck 35 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Nope.

That’s what weird people do.

Normal people punch fascists for talking about their kids,

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Cruz didn't even become his VP pick though. He just defended his insults because he's a little bitch boy.

[–] Nuke_the_whales 60 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is the kind of man Trump loves. You can call his wife a dog, you can call his children scum, and he'll still suck Trump's toadstool dick.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

That does sound like a weird dick.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 month ago

I mean, that's pretty weird.

[–] someguy3 34 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He complained that she is a chameleon that changes whenever it suits her.

The reporter said speaking of chameleons, you used to hate Trump and say you were a never Trumper. At which point I fucking lost it.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil 0 points 1 month ago

Trump's an acquired taste. The closer you are to his inner circle, the tastier he appears.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

It's totally reasonable to assume Vance is a spineless piece of trash who would throw his own kids under the bus to try to appeal to his racist demographic. It's reasonable because it's already happened.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

That’s uhhh pretty fucking weird man

[–] misterundercoat 18 points 1 month ago

I have a dream that one day my children will not be judged by color of their upholstery but by the comfyness of their cushions.

[–] LEDZeppelin 14 points 1 month ago

Being a cuck for the orange man is their brand identity. JD is not alone. Look at Turd Cruz - Trump calls his wife ugly and he still gargles trump’s balls twice daily

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Has anyone told JD Vance that his kids are not white ?

I mean ... I have no idea what the qualifications for carrying a "white card" is these days ... but don't they generally revoke it if you are "bi" anything ?

[–] ThunderWhiskers 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So put him on the spot. "State definitely for everyone to hear whether your children are black or white, and don't you dare change your answer ever again. Both, apparently, is not an option."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Indian or white* but yes completely agree

[–] massacre 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So like, not to insult people who are into that but like yeah fucking hell what a cuck sheesh

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago

I'll insult them. They're generally into that. Worms.

[–] xc2215x 4 points 1 month ago

He knows the Republican base.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

FYI, dude is married. Possibility to mother of those children. (Wikipedia didn't say before I got board.)

My only hope is that JD Vance is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. This can’t be real.
