    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
