  1. I went into the clip thinking the headlines were just drumming up some nonsense and exaggerating his claims—oh wait, no I wasn’t, because this is JD “couchfucker” Vance, the ShillBilly, we’re talking about.

    He says some bonkers stuff in that clip, and I really, really, really don’t understand what in the actual fuck anyone could see in the guy.

    I have begged my cat to give me grandchildren but he refuses to leave the house and just sleeps all day. Sometimes he barfs in the middle of night on the bed quilt.

    The state of masculinity is a sorry affair.

  3. I think it’s often a religious worldview that leads people to think that every biological reality must have a moral purpose to it. Believing this leads people down some really disturbing roads.

    Jesus Christ – can this fucking guy be even MORE of an insufferable shit 🛋️

    *“Why didn’t she just keep her job, give us part of the wages to pay somebody else to do it?” he asked. “That is the thing that the hyper-liberalized economics wants you to do. The economic logic of always prioritizing paid wage labor over other forms of contributing to a society is to me … a consequence of a sort of fundamental liberalism that is ultimately gonna unwind and collapse upon itself.”*

    *“It’s the abandonment of a sort of Aristotelian virtue politics for a hyper-market-oriented way of thinking about what’s good and what’s desirable,” he added. “If people are paying for it and it contributes to GDP and it makes the economic consumption numbers rise, then it’s good, and if it doesn’t, it’s bad … that’s sort of the root of our political problem.”*

    Holy shit, this line of logic coming from a conservative venture capitalist.

    I am so fucking sick of political leaders degrading my gender every fucking day.

    Also- a grandparent is done raising children.

    This further confirms my theory he has no involvement with his kids. From the wife’s interviews to telling his boy to shut up when he was on the phone to this.

    He’s a shitty parent. He didn’t sign up for the job, he did it because that’s what’s expected of him. Total douche dad.

    • ⁠Check your registration here as well. Some states have purged voter rolls and you may need to register again.
    • ⁠Some states require you to register 30 days before the election you wish to vote in.
    • ⁠If you have questions check with your local election officials.

  9. Seriously check this guys hard drive and cloud accounts you don’t act this weird without hiding some sick shit

    It’s just such a weird thing to say. Sure, some Grandmothers would love baking cookies and caring for the grandchildren, but some would like to travel the world, or write a book, or whatever.

    The denial of individual humanity is a theme with these guys. It always turns out that the only possible way to live life is the way they tell you to.

    And somehow, that way always includes them having power and status, and you being grateful for the crumbs that fall from their table.

    How fortunate indeed we all are to have such a scholar as the junior senator from Ohio upon our shores in order to sort out for us all just what we should or should not do with our lives.

  12. This guy is sooo cool. He’s sooo sexy and cool and fuckable. Love the way he says “postmenopausal female.”

    I’m gonna shove this dude in a locker and then down to hell and then dunk him down further into double hell the secret hell that no one wants you to know about. What a loser.

  13. I mean the whole thing is awful but just…

    > Why didn’t she just keep her job, give us part of the wages to pay somebody else to do it?” he asked. “That is the thing that the hyper-liberalized economics wants you to do. The economic logic of always prioritizing paid wage labor over other forms of contributing to a society is to me … a consequence of a sort of fundamental liberalism that is ultimately gonna unwind and collapse upon itself.”

    What in the living fuck is he talking about? Does he think liberals are against a single income household or generational household on a philosophical basis? What the fuck is this guy’s deal?

  14. Can someone please explain to me the right’s obsession with the purpose of a woman. You want to know what a woman’s purpose is, the same as any other person’s, whatever the fuck they want it to be!

  15. Sure_Quality5354 on

    Dude really believes that women should spend their entire lives just changing diapers and feeding babies. Was he born in the 80s or the 1680’s?

  16. This asshole is on fire. He can’t say anything and be taken seriously. His next policy plank is going to be “Women who can’t reproduce should be made to pick cotton.”

  17. Republicans to women:

    “Please vote for us so we can take away your right to vote!”

    Welp, I guess just euthanize me now. Post menopausal and no grands. I have no purpose. (But I do have cats!) 😬

  19. Just so we’re clear on this piece of shit, Harris has actually raised two children that were not her own but who love her dearly, which sounds pretty much like what he’s advocating for.

    As a postmenopausal woman who was made infertile and thrown into early menopause at 31 due to cancer treatments. I chose to not go to extremes to have children, and instead enjoy a life of financial freedom, sleeping in, and doing whatever I want, whenever I want in child free silence. How does this work for people like me? Is my sole purpose in life to take care of other people’s grandchildren? Hell no. Fuck you Vance.

  21. They did oppo research on JD, right? Because everyone else already knew he was a 4chan thread incarnate.

  22. Well if JD Vance said it, then I guess I’ll have to go rip the scalpel from my wife’s hand and send her out to find some grandkids. There have to be some around, right?

    WTAF?

    I guess Vance sees postmenopausal women as nothing more than Martha-type nannies. It goes hand-in-hand with Project 2025’s stance on wanting to end “recreational sex.” I mean, how would that even work? They’d want to monitor the entire female population, right? Where have I seen this played out before? Oh, yeah… The Handmaid’s Tale. Gilead. That’s what they’re going for.

  24. Republican media is whining about Kamala not doing interviews. This is why. They don’t care what she has to say. They want their own candidates to just shut the hell up.

  25. A woman’s purpose is to vote against this shit stain, couch fucking pathetic excuse for a human. It’s embarrassing to think a dude who jerks it to the IKEA catalog is a fucking US Senator.

    Like the Tories here, sliding further and further to the right until they’re unelectable.

    Or maybe, and I;m just spitballing here, maybe it’s being Vice President of the United States of America. And running for President.
