What, are they half white and half sectional or something?
his kids are half Indian half weird
I think the proper term for the offspring of a man and couch is "loveseat".
You think he's ashamed of the fact that his kids are bi-sectional?
he'll probably leave their mother for his side L
Half Lovesac, so sactional
When pressed, he added: “Look, all [Trump] said is that Kamala Harris is a chameleon.”
“She is everything to everybody, and she pretends to be somebody different depending on which audience she is in front of. I think it’s totally reasonable for the president to call that out, and that’s all he did,”
Oh! I get it! The racists who make everything about race don't like it when the races try to celebrate their race.
I shudder to think how Vance is gonna handle the first time his kids get mixed-race comments. You think he'll tell them they gotta choose to be Indian or white, but they can't be both? Ooooh! Bonus points if he fumbles his words and starts trying to backpedal when he says something about "Indians and Americans," and then has to explain why Columbus was actually an amazing genius and not a failure in every sense of the word.
You think he'll give them the choice to be Indian? He'll tell them that they're white if he likes them.
I feel kind of bad for his wife, but she did clerk for Brett Kavanaugh and John Robert’s, and was a lawyer arguing on behalf of big corporations, so…I don’t feel that bad.
Also she married him and has endorsed him. I feel bad for the kids.
Most of that stuff doesn't bother me. I don't think most legal clerks have the luxury of choosing only judges who they're philosophically aligned with to work for. And everyone, even big companies, deserve legal council. But she married a shit bag, and she's endorsed his views, so I don't feel badly for her.
Exactly. She also married him. She doesn't get a pass.
Vance was gay, and then he wasn't
"I'll never forget the time I convinced myself that I was gay. I was eight or nine, maybe younger, and I stumbled upon a broadcast by some fire-and-brimstone preacher. The man spoke about the evils of homosexuals, how they had infiltrated our society, and how they were all destined for hell absent some serious repenting. At the time, the only thing I knew about gay men was that they preferred men to women. This described me perfectly: I disliked girls, and my best friend in the world was my buddy Bill. Oh no, I'm going to hell."
When he brought up the issue with his grandmother — known to Vance as "Mamaw" — she replied bluntly: "Don't be a fucking idiot, how would you know that you're gay?"
When Vance explained his reasoning, she laughed.
"JD, do you want to suck dicks?" she said, according to the book.
The young Vance, apparently "flabbergasted," said: "Of course not!"
"Then you're not gay. And even if you did want to suck dicks, that would be okay," she replied. "God would still love you."
At least Mawmaw gets points for not skipping the "God would still love you" part of Christianity, unlike most Republicans.
Shame he still turned out weird
Maybe its because couches don‘t have dicks to suck.
Conversations that definitely happened...
Having met southern grandmas, it strikes me as very plausible that it did.
It's said every time, but this implies that Mr Jorkin Dapeanus wanted to eat pussy as a child.
It is not said every time, and I did not want to think about this. Stop it!
So, Vance:
Any chance the man is actually a double agent? Any chance he represents some sort of new trends in the Republican world? Or is he in it for the grift?
I don’t get why it isn’t plastered everywhere that JD Vance thinks being gay is a choice.
I'm working on it
“She is everything to everybody, and she pretends to be somebody different depending on which audience she is in front of. I think it’s totally reasonable for the president to call that out, and that’s all he did,” said Vance, who also accused Harris of putting on a southern accent during a campaign stop in Atlanta on Tuesday.
You mean like Trump who was a Democrat and now isn't or Trump was all for project 2025 and now isn't? Trump has more flipflops than a coastal beach.
Love that all these alpha males have no balls whatsoever
Vance’s children identify as loveseats since they are only half-sofa.
I feel bad for his kids to have such messed up parents.
As a half asian/white person, white people call me asian (mostly slurs), and asian people call me a mistake.
I'm sorry. That's terrible and really shitty.
J.D Vance knows his supporters.
I can't believe the Cheeto found someone even more of a cuck than pence .... it's unbelievable

I wonder if seeing him abase himself and his family for a chance at power was what he was chosen for.
father of biracial kids
Putting that in the headline is teetering close to using their race as a cudgel. Not a fan.
WTF? Trump brought up the whole thing, and now it's on the table.
You sound perilously close to the folks who claim that any mention of race is racist.
Not a good look.
Hardly. Race is totally relevant to the discussion, I’d never advocate for color blind approaches or other brands of 90’s nonsense.
I I get where you were coming from, and I wish I could put my finger on it but I can’t. Just something about the title doesn’t sit right with me. I understand y’all are all going to continue to downvote and berate me for this because the dog pile has already started, but that’s just how I feel here.
Fuck Vance, fuck Trump, they’re both bigots and I can’t wait to see them crash and burn. My comment history is unambiguous on this matter.
#1, it’s the The Daily Beast. This is their thing, to do articles with splashy headlines like this. #2, I don’t have a problem at all pointing out the unending hypocrisy.
Exactly. I would have assumed JD Vance had a totally white family and was just a garden variety racist. But now I've learned he's a racist and a hypocrite
You must’ve missed the other day when it was revealed white supremacists were attacking his wife for not being white and he gave the most pathetic defense I’ve ever seen. Right up there with Ted Cruz allowing Trump to slander his wife
It wouldn't drive traffic as much, but I'd definitely be in favor of the title just saying he endorses Trump's statements, and then ending the article with the punchline. In bold, of course. To highlight the hypocrite and asshole he is.
Actually, maybe not a hypocrite, since the few things I've seen in how he treats his wife he may just be an asshole, even to them. But I don't have the evidence for that. The treatment, I mean...he's definitely an asshole.
Wow, what a couchfucking coward
