    Just a reminder that JD has three kids (actual kids, not 35 year olds) with his wife, who is a woman of color. If he won’t defend them against blatant racism, do his supporters actually think he gives a fuck about them?

    Also, a good parent would take the opportunity to teach their children why what they said is wrong, not just tell them how to avoid responsibility:

    Vance said he would tell his three kids—“especially my boys”—“don’t put things on the internet. Be careful with what you post. If you put something in a group chat, assume that some scumbag is going to leak it in an effort to try to cause you harm or cause your family harm.”

    Our Vice President is a huge piece of shit.

        Oh for sure, I have no sympathy for her either, she’s fully complicit. Just saying his lack of defense for his own family speaks volumes.

        Well she is caucasian tbf

        Its like that skit from the office, which is basically based on two real life supreme court cases. In the first one, the scotus said anyone with white skin was white regardless of origin. Then when a very light skinned Japanese guy from Hawai’i used that to argue that he was white, they said that to be white you also have to be caucasian. But simultaneously disqualified anyone who was caucasian but didnt have white skin.

        The concepts of colorism really make no sense at the end of the day

      Only being angry about being caught instead of remorseful about having done something wrong is narcissistic and sociopathic behavior

      Wow, I hadn’t seen that quote. Absolutely nothing about teaching them to not be racist pieces of shit, only to make sure not to post it online. And that the real scumbag here is the person who leaked it.

      Hes a piece of shit but “don’t put things on the internet” is fantastic advice for young people. I’m glad I was a kid before the Internet got “serious” so there are no logs of the heinous shit I’m sure I said. If you look for my old username, you’ll get one search result…a quip I made on IRC on bash.org

    The Kansas GOP said it was “disgusted” by the comments and that they do not reflect the views of Kansas Republicans, who, it emphasized, “elected a black chair a few months ago.”

    Lmao, seriously they’re going with “we have black friends, actually”

    If they’re old enough to be part of DOGE and chainsaw the government, they’re not kids.

      If they’re old enough to represent their racist, sexist, homophobic, and Nazi beliefs and speech by voting, they’re not kids.

      These people are actively supporting the election machine for the GOP, and casting their votes. This behavior absolutely reflects on the current regime.

      So this means it’s perfectly fair to take their quotes and pressure their bosses to fire them? I mean that’s what happened with people who made quotes about Charlie Kirk.

    Some of them are older than me and I remember when smartphones were invented. The oldest one in the chat is only 5 years younger than JD Vance and was older than their national hero Charlie Kirk. These aren’t kids, these are the modern Republican party.

    Well, we ALL used to be kids once upon a time. I bet these “kids” were the same assholes that I’d run into on Xbox360 pregame lobbies from time to time. Sometimes it’s just one or two, sometimes you’d get lucky and load in to an entire lobby full of them. Disgusting.

    I’m really afraid of this political operator becoming the president if Trump croaks prematurely. This guy is all-charade and I think there’s a lot of supremacy behind it.

    Idk Americans are basically really dumbass kids until age 45 these days. And even then it’s not clean cut on who becomes an adult depending on how much they dwell on the life of American trend/lifestyle.

    I’m beginning to understand it’s the American lifestyle and culture.

      Unless they’re not white, then they’re an adult at…12. Some kids are lucky if they get that grace for even that long.

      You are acting like something changes at age 45 that makes them less of a dumb ass look at our elected officials most of them are over 45 but still dumbasses
