Just thought of something. All those childless people, by choice or not actually contribute MORE percent toward schools and all other services/taxes because they don't get deductions. They pay for the others' childrens' education!!! Of course. Vance just sees this as a way for Christian conservatives to have more votes. He's ridiculous. |

It's being widely discussed on Twitter and Reddit. He says in the video that I posted that children should have a vote, but that their parents should control that vote. So a couple with eight kids would show up at the polls and have ten votes between them. Who in this country still has that many kids? Hmmm. |

Of course. Vance just sees this as a way for Christian conservatives to have more votes. He's ridiculous. IF this can be confirmed this needs to get out there more. Here! "These children are the future of this country and yet the parents who have them actually have no advantage in our democratic process," Vance told the Intercollegiate Studies Institute in July 2021. "They have a smaller voice in some ways — in very many cases — than the people who don't have any children at all. The children who come from these families have no real representative in our democracy. Why don't we change that?" Now some people will say this is radical and this is crazy," Vance added. "The Democrats are talking about giving the vote to 16-year-olds but let's do this instead: Let's give votes to all children in this country but let's give control over those votes to the parents of those children." The Ohio Republican reiterated that same point a few days later in that now-infamous "childless cat ladies" interview with then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson, when he identified vice president Kamala Harris, transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) as members of the "childless left." "Why have we let the Democrat party become controlled by people who don't have children, and why is this just a normal fact of American life that the leaders of our country should be people who don't have a personal and direct stake in it via their own offspring, via their own children and grandchildren," Vance said in that 2021 interview. The resurfacing of his remarks about giving parents more electoral power opened up Donald Trump's running mate to another round of criticism. www.rawstory.com/jd-vance-parents/ |

@revbirdusa I just have to say… I appreciate the post a few back FINALLY making it make sense about asylum vs asylum. Omg- that has to be right. That statement and the blind following of it has bugged me for a very long time. It made no sense (much like many other statements…) but sooo much of the MAGA doubling down on it just is hilarious, because it’s the only way to tie the two together. Wow. Thank you for that. I was wondering if he actually doesn’t know what seeking asylum means. |

Kerstin has something to say about the Vance childless comment... Who is Kerstin? She is the ex of 2nd gentleman Doug Emhoff!! The former wife of Doug Emhoff, husband of Kamala Harris, is defending the Democratic nominee for president from Republican attacks against her lack of biological children. “These are baseless attacks,” Kerstin Emhoff told CNN in a statement. “ For over 10 years, since Cole and Ella were teenagers, Kamala has been a co-parent with Doug and I. She is loving, nurturing, fiercely protective, and always present.”Kerstin Emhoff was married to Doug Emhoff for 16 years, and the couple had two children together. After marrying Harris in 2014, Harris embraced her new stepchildren, even adopting the moniker “Momola.” "I love our blended family and am grateful to have her in it,” Kerstin Emhoff's statement said.www.rawstory.com/doug-emhoff/ |

Here is a recap of dumpster don’s rambles from yesterday’s rally…. Uplifting isn’t it. Art Candee ”Yikes… Trump did not have a good rally in Charlotte, North Carolina today. Let’s recap it: “Unity” definitely flew out the window again. He said “I’m not going to be nice.” And he wasn’t. He was as vile as always. And he also said “There’s never been a lunatic like this in the White House.” He does know he’s talking about himself, right? Sheer projection. He said he “defeated” President Biden even though Biden dropped out of the race. He claimed there was a poll that rated Kamala Harris the worst VP in history. 🙄 He also said Kamala “is nothing.” He’s now calling her “Lying Kamala.” Projection again. He’s BIG MAD that the media is writing positive stories about her.” He claimed he has crowds of 70k, 80k, 107k people. No. He’s whining that the media doesn’t talk about his crowds enough. He’s still babbling about crowds at least 3 minutes later. He now has the crowd chanting for the cameras to turn and show the crowd. He said she has problems with “staff.” Funny coming from a man where 40/44 of his cabinet picks won’t endorse him. He said San Francisco “isn’t a livable city.” 🙄 He again claimed the 2020 election “was rigged.” He said he wasn’t gonna talk about his assassination attempt at the RNC acceptance speech…yet here he is again talking about it. He said Democrats “are a threat to our country, period.” He’s back to whining about VP Harris. He called President Biden “a fake liberal.” He’s talking about “Biden’s unfitness” when he’s had issues with saying the word “done.” He also couldn’t say “abortion,” “debate,” or “war.” He miserably butchered “Netanyahu.” Another day…more indications and projection of his mental decline. He whined about the cases against him. And he whined about the prosecutor vs. felon narrative. Love it! He said she was a “bad prosecutor” yet he donated $6k to her CA AG campaigns. He claimed Biden was holding on to “50 years” of classified documents. 🙄 Apparently a vote for him and JD Vance is “a vote for competence.” 🤣 He said “she makes Bernie look like a moderate.” Mkay. 🙄 He said Veep would “bankrupt Social Security and Medicare.” Funny when he wants to work people to death and increase the retirement age. He said women are getting abortions “after birth. The execution of a baby.” Reprehensible lies. He lied again and said “every Democrat” wanted to leave Roe v. Wade up to the states. False. He claimed VP Harris “destroyed San Francisco.” He’s again lying that we left $85 billion of equipment in Afghanistan. He’s doing a lot of screaming tonight. He’s still not seeming to comprehend that border crossings are now lower than when he was in office when he’s babbling about a chart. He doesn’t think people get hurt in volleyball. 🤦♀️ He said he wants race car drivers and football coaches to “guide” our military. Hard pass. He criticized Jewish folks who vote for Democrats. He said Kamala is “against” the Jewish people. Her husband is Jewish. He said he read JD Vance’s book and it’s about “hard workers.” No. That’s not what it’s about at all. He’s doing some really strange “j3rk off” motions with his hands today. He babbled about Hannibal Lecter again saying “these are real stories (which he slurred and said ‘sorries’).” He said immigrants and migrants are raping children “all over the world.” Vile. He said the United States of America is “a dumping ground, we’re a stupid country.” For perspective, President Biden called us a “great nation” less than an hour later. Which the media coverage of Biden’s oval office address will surely eclipse any mention of Trump’s obvious mental decline, lies, and incompetence. It’s up to us to get the word out. The choice is clear.” x.com/artcandee/status/1816272363346153893?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nw |

Mayor Pete went to town on the childless comment. Vance managed to royally piss of step parents, adoptive parents, infertile couples, childless by choice - I mean ffs does he really realize the shrinking number of people who fit his definition of parent.
And kudos for Ms Emhoff - it warms my heart when those with blended families can rock it. Momala would make an excelled Madame President!

So a couple with eight kids would show up at the polls and have ten votes between them. Who in this country still has that many kids? Hmmm. Right. And what happens to the parents of grown children? Do they slip to second class? What about the unfortunate parents whose child sadly passes away? This isn’t just moronic; it’s cruel. Vance obviously wants tiers of citizenship; top tier, like himself, whose children are educated; middle tier, whose children are educated in religious schools with limited book choices and restricted information, and finally, childless folks. This guy is for himself and his ilk- full stop. |

Moderate income and poor children will likely not be educated, unless they show a special talent at an early age, to be place in talent determined camps.
They are all for charter and religious schools. No more public schools, just trade training or none for the unskilled!

Really great question. What is wrong with Trump and Vance? The author tells a story about interviewing President Biden and after, he mentioned that his wife was working on a literacy project. Biden got really excited, said lets call her now, talked to her and mentioned how passionate his wife is about literacy, too. Biden is genuinely a good person. Trump and Vance are not. Their reactions to Biden dropping out were rude, disrespectful, despicable and deplorable. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/22/opinion/trump-vance-biden-speech.html“The Democrats pick a candidate, Crooked Joe Biden, he loses the Debate badly, then panics, and makes mistake after mistake, is told he can’t win, and decide they will pick another candidate, probably Harris,” Trump wrote on social media on Monday. He later added: “It’s not over! Tomorrow Crooked Joe Biden’s going to wake up and forget that he dropped out of the race today!”
Not to be out-lowballed by his boss, Vance wrote on social media: “Joe Biden has been the worst President in my lifetime and Kamala Harris has been right there with him every step of the way.”
All they had to say was: “President Biden served his country for five decades and at this moment we thank him for that service. Tomorrow our campaign begins against his replacement. Bring her on.’’
I mentioned to him a reading-literacy project that my wife, Ann, was working on that she thought might interest Dr. Jill Biden. The president got totally excited about the idea and said, “Let’s call your wife. What’s her number?’’
Then I handed the phone back to Biden, who engaged her in a conversation about reading and how much his wife was passionate about that subject, too.
Look, I’ve been to the rodeo — this is what smart politicians do. But there is one difference with Joe Biden that I observed over the years: It’s how much he authentically enjoyed it, how much he enjoyed talking to people outside his bubble and giving them a chance to say, “I got to meet the president. He talked to me!”
That sort of kindness came naturally to him. It brought him joy. And I have no doubt that Trump’s and Vance’s venomous first reactions to Biden’s resignation came naturally to them too.
I’m sure it brought them joy. But it sure left me wondering: What is wrong with you people? |

Another vile aspect of the "women who haven't given birth aren't real mothers," is these are the same people who think the answer to unwanted pregnancies is adoption. So one side of their mouth is spouting, "there are so many people who want to adopt," and the other, "but that doesn't make you a real mom."

Vance managed to royally piss of step parents, adoptive parents, infertile couples, childless by choice Unsurprising, since Project 2025 wants to put forward the traditional nuclear family as the only acceptable kind. I want to ask him or some other Trump party person - you keep saying that a woman needs to be married and under a man's protection, producing as many children as she can squirt out. Did it occur to any of them that women fought for financial and reproductive independence in part because so many men are shit at the protection part? |

Vance is far more right then anyone ever thought!! Sen. J.D. Vance has ties to a slew of far-right academics who believe working women are on drugs and judges should decide who gets to get married, among other extreme opinions, a new analysis shows. Vance's connections to hardcore anti-feminists could have dire consequences for his running mate former President Donald Trump after President Joe Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to take over the Democratic campaign, political theorist Laura K. Field reported for Politico Wednesday. *** Vance (R-OH) is an outspoken admirer of Notre Dame professor Patrick Deneen, who argues in his 2018 book "Why Liberalism Failed" that women who would be content tending house have been forced into accepting pay for professional work, writes Field. The Ohio Republican spoke in 2022 at a New Right academic conference alongside Harvard professor Adrian Vermeule, who believes conservatives should legislate morality by allowing judges to rule against marriage equality and abortion laws for the “Common Good." www.rawstory.com/j-d-vance-new-right/ |

We should all wonder.. Wallace read off some of the top lines of Vance's votes. Those and some of his comments are coming back to haunt him. "It did cross my mind," Sykes confessed, "Did Donald Trump vet this guy, or were they just thinking, hey, I like the cut of his jib? I'm going to go with him. Because clearly, there's a real possibility he could be a liability here, particularly when women hear what he is saying." www.rawstory.com/jd-vance-2668816295/ |
