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.

His wife is just as complicit and thinks she's white adjacent enough so no sympathy for her at all.

[–] BertramDitore@lemmy.zip 45 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] ToastedRavioli@midwest.social 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

No war but a class war.

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

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Well now I want to know which one :P

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I actually tried to find it after I posted but i guess you can't search the bash archives

[–] YouAreLiterallyAnNPC@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The quest to find the true bloodninja continues.

I put on my wizard hat and cloak...

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

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 60 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 57 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Seriously all of them are grown adults with real positions.

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 30 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

I believe several already have been fired and/or had job offers rescinded. That Giunta douche for sure got fired, not sure about specifics for others.

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

I believe someone already released a list.

[–] BluesF@lemmy.world 39 points 1 month ago

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"

[–] lIlIlIlIlIlIl@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They all look exactly like how you expect them to look, too

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 10 points 1 month ago

That is right full gown Nazis just like their masters.

[–] renrenPDX@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] mracton@piefed.social 7 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] BussyCat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] DampSquid@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

At 45 they reach dementia

[–] kay4749@lemmings.world -4 points 1 month ago

Very biased source.

Worth about as much as my toilet paper.
