    Or you could put it in the full context of what he said, where he blames the "sexual revolution" i.e. feminism, liberal ideas about divorce, etc. What you are saying here is basically true throughout all time. Your village getting ransacked by Vikings is going to cause childhood trauma. I don't think that's the point he's making lol. I think you are essentially whitewashing this to make it more banal.

    Kamala Harris once called Joe Biden a sex criminal and a segregationist from the debate stage.

    Funny, but after seeing the RFK leaked conversation, there is a 0.0% chance that he could get 22 words into a phone call with Trump….

    Surprise! MAGA makes racist attacks against Vance's wife.

    She's the daughter of Indian immigrants.

    "This guy will be great on immigration," says the founder of America First Students. Another MAGAt who visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago says Vance will not be a defender of "white identity."

    Why am I not surprised? Trump himself made racist comments regarding Nikki Haley although didn't stop her from ultimately kowtowing before the Dear Leader.

    I don't mean anything racist when I say Nikki Haley is pathetic. That whole sad and disgusting bunch of Trump sycophants is pathetic.

    JD Vance Suggests People in ‘Violent’ Marriages Shouldn’t Get Divorced (vice.com)

    This is one of the great tricks that I think the sexual revolution pulled on the American populace, which is the idea that like, ‘well, OK, these marriages were fundamentally, you know, they were maybe even violent, but certainly they were unhappy. And so getting rid of them and making it easier for people to shift spouses like they change their underwear, that’s going to make people happier in the long term,’” Vance said.

    “And maybe it worked out for the moms and dads, though I’m skeptical. But it really didn’t work out for the kids of those marriages,” Vance continued. “And that’s what I think all of us should be honest about, is we’ve run this experiment in real time. And what we have is a lot of very, very real family dysfunction that’s making our kids unhappy.”


    exactly...come on man...he is clearly saying that it was a fallacy that getting out of violent marriages was good for the kids. ie, wife should stay in violent marriage for the benefit of the kids. how cany any reasonable person read that any other way?

    He knows his audience. It is an audience of 1, and watching his ability to stroke Trump’s ego is a master class in “managing upward”.

    It will be interesting to see where Vance really stands on Trump once DJT is out of the picture. Rubio and Burgum never stood a chance.

    It is a fascinating quote from the perspective of being VP candidate for a twice divorced dude with kids from 3 different wives. It kind of goes to the point that many on the right view women as having agency in divorce that they shouldn't and that men should be able to act like Trump while staying married.

    He went from praising Trump to spouting anti-trade deals like he was Bernie Sanders. He’s good, just like the last Yale Law School grad in the executive branch was. When he wasn’t on his knees, he sounded as convincing as Clinton, just with a less traditionally conservative rhetoric on economic issues.

    Cmon. Its a stretch. I think he throws the violence reference in as an exception. Like I said, he worded it poorly and even said getting out was good for the moms.

    He was making a general reference to the divorce rate and broken homes. He tried to toss the violent in as an exception and worded it properly.

    Look I wont be voting for him, but this gotcha game that people play over every single word is silly. People in public life will stumble on words.

    Do you think Biden believes that Trump is his VP just because it stumbled out? Do you think Biden thinks that Putin is the president of Ukraine?

    He said it right?

    Its ok to gove people the benefit of the doubt and freedom to screw up.

    Well, it used to be anyway. But not today. Every word is taken literal and no room for error exists.

    Again, I wont be voting for the ticket. Fire away. But all this crying wolf inst getting the country anywhere

    Yeah, it seemed to me at the very least that Vance might have been signaling support for the elimination of no-fault divorce laws, but I haven't seen clips of him directly addressing that issue.

    Not off to a good start ... the first VP candidate in 25+ years to have a net negative approval rating, and the lowest net approval rating ever, immediately after they were named at a convention ... the average has been +19 ... and this guy is -6. Sad.
