Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

She married JD Vance, so I'm gonna have to agree with him on this one.

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 2 points 11 minutes ago

No one should ever marry a woman with the poor taste to marry JD Vance—including JD Vance!

[–] tornavish@lemmy.cafe 21 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

Seriously, how can she touch him?

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 12 points 9 hours ago

What makes you think that she does?

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Why do you assume she's not in on all of this rhetoric bullshit attempt to appeal to the same part of the base who hate him because of who he married?

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

To what end? She’s not old enough that such levels of racism and violence won’t end in her getting wrecked down the line.

There's some minorities that think that being against other minorities, themselves, gets them a pass. Member of the Leopards Eating Faces party

Probably like Melania is as much a narcissist as Trump, Usha is as much sociopath as JD Vance.
The really weird thing is how JD Vance imagines he would ever go to heaven?

[–] thfi@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I have it on my Bingo card that he will dump her in the post-Trump power struggle in order to improve his standing with the MAGA base. Maybe pick Erika Kirk instead. That would be a MAGA dream team …

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Id say so. (goes to straight to the bit that's relevant. No need to gross yourself out any more than necessary.)(this from the last day or so.)

(excuse me while I bleach out my eyes.)

[–] modern_drift@lemmy.world 14 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Are people surprised by this? Christians think anyone that knows if jesus but doesn't believe is going to hell.

But what about JD not listening to the Bible?

A Christian considering marriage has some clear guidance in 2 Corinthians 6:14, which says, “Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?”

Good ole Two Corinthians.

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 9 points 9 hours ago

Oh he thinks SHE is the bad one in the relationship? Anyone want to tell him?

James Donald Bowman is the spawn of an abusive addict and he's traded in for cycling for another abusive cunt named Donald.

I'll forget do my best to remind everyone of his true name.

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

She's a pick me. That's why.

Once again a MAGAt tries to make the distinction between legal and illegal immigration (claiming his wife is one of the good ones). Ignoring the fact that the US immigration system is designed to make that distinction extremely vague (to get cheap laborers without rights). While their rhetoric always, always makes it sound like "immigrant" and "illegal" are synonyms. And ICE does not seem to make that distinction either.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

He wants her to be Christian.

[–] RaoulDuke@leminal.space 1 points 5 hours ago

He wants her to be a cushion.

Calling it.

Before his run for presidency he'll end up with Neck Hole's widow to try to increase his chances.

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 1 points 4 minutes ago

In far-right group chats and forums, they adore Vance — but they can’t stand that he’s married to a brown woman.

Vance is deeply online; he’s fully aware that his family stands in the way of his dream to become MAGA’s chosen heir.

This is the same man who once called Trump an “American Hitler,” only to later accept the role of his vice president.

To me, this statement makes one thing clear: he’s setting the stage to divorce his wife and abandon his children, all under the convenient guise of religious conviction.
