JD Vance Discussion Thread

Well, I’m convinced he hates women too.

Now he’s at a rally talking about kids being like their parents. His 7 year old is like his mom so he’s probably reading and the 4 1/2 year old is like him so he’s probably off trying to burn a building down or something. Much laughter ensues.

So the dog was fake, added by the campaign.

Every accusation etc etc etc

This has to be a fake Onion story. Right? There’s no way Vance could be shown to be any weirder than he already has been.

And of course it’s a “manly” sort of dog, not a poodle or Dalmatian.

I don’t have an account. I see it fine.

Dammit, I can’t find a clip, but there’s a scene in “Intolerable Cruelty” where Catherine Zeta-Jones delivers some devastating news to her soon-to-be-ex, hands him the leash to the frou-frou white poodle at her side, blows him a lil’ kiss, and whispers, “The dog’s rented.”

(The implication is that, on top of the divorce $$ he’s contemplating, he’s also on the hook for … however much it takes to rent a poodle.)

Not a fake Onion story, but a fake story caused by clever editing.

This is why you shouldn’t trust tiny clips on social media.

He’s had Atlas since he was a puppy, it’s his dog. He was saying that the left claimed it was a rented dog.

It didn’t take very long to debunk this.

It doesn’t even rhyme with “poodle”. I don’t think they make dogs like that, anymore.

I’m not sure the full clip is much of an improvement. Talking about his kids coming on the road with him while he’s campaigning.

“the ass crack of dawn”? Weird.

Thanks for that!

@BigT, you were had.

He may like his dog but he doesn’t seem to like his kids. Does he ever say anything nice about them? So far, he’s said that he told one of his kids to shut the hell up and now is complaining that one of his kids gave him the plague.

I understand that parenting can be frustrating but he’s so tone deaf. Maybe show some concern for your sick kid? Pretend to be normal?

Yes, the actual truth of what JD is about is at least as bad as anything people make up.

Naah, I’ve heard that used many times by actual normal human people.

As have I, though it’s a little too bro-casual (as well as mildly profane) for a vice-presidential candidate to use in a public interview, and it comes across as though he’s trying to sound cool.

“Crack of dawn” I’ve heard. I’ve also heard “ass crack”.

“Ass crack of dawn” is a bridge too far for me; perhaps worse when talking about pre-school-age children.

Which is par for the course for Vance.

I knew Dawn. She was a very odd person. I can tell you things about her ass crack. Things you do not want to know.

I know a Dawn, too. She’s a hoot, and might even appreciate that appellation.
