    The insistence that there’s a democrat or left wing equivalent to trump or the maga movement isn’t based in reality. 
    they will tell you barrack HUSSEIN obama is worse.
    And that Dems have to clean up their messes too. Speaking of which, when is POOTWH going to be “forced” out? He’s old, senile, babbling like a brook, scared of a woman, with make up on his collar and catsup on his sleeves and front of his shirt. When’s that hot mess getting cleaned up?

    she's not white but I love her....wow
    I don’t see anything wrong with what he said:
    ”Look, I love my wife so much. I love her because she’s who she is,” he told host Megyn Kelly on her show Friday. “Obviously, she’s not a white person, and we’ve been accused, attacked by some white supremacists over that. But I just, I love Usha.”

    Usha Vance has faced a slew of far-right attacks targeting her Indian heritage following her husband’s nomination to the Republican ticket. 

    “Who is this guy, really? Do we really expect that the guy who has an Indian wife and named their kid Vivek is going to support white identity?” prominent white supremacist Nick Fuentes said of Vance

    In the context of the article you linked, what’s wrong with what he said?

    I pointed out what's wrong already...you are in full apologist mode. Dude said she's not white BUT I love her. The "BUT" suggests a "hey yeah she's not one of us but I love her" vibe.
    The problem is you (probably intentionally, but I don’t know that for fact) misquoted him to make it sound worse.
    You wrote “she's not white but I love her”

    What he actually said “Look, I love my wife so much. I love her because she’s who she is. Obviously, she’s not a white person, and we’ve been accused, attacked by some white supremacists over that. But I just, I love Usha.”

    He’s defending their relationship against white supremacists. Omitting the middle part and directly connecting the “she’s not white” to the “I love her”like you did changes the tone and meaning.

    You’re taking someone in an interracial marriage and misquote them to make it sound like he’s racist. Seems ironic to me.
    The word “but” doesn’t enter the person’s brain unless they’re validating what the critics said or they themselves think her race is a deficiency. 
    Does this also apply to anyone whose go-to defense is “but trump, or but the republicans” any time someone breaks the cardinal sin of criticizing democrats around here? 
    It depends doesn't it? If you have a problem with a "lie" a democrat told but you don't have a similar problem with a lie that tRump told then yeah...you're going to get comments about that.
    I have a problem with anyone who lies or deceives, party affiliation is irrelevant to me. Criticizing one while giving a pass to the other simply because they suck less doesn't make sense to me. I see a lot of that around here.

    Key word you used is ‘defense’. Vance needed to defend the attacks on his wife, and did so with a nod to the critics. 

    ‘But Trump’ is used in a different context as a counter-argument, as in ‘you’re supporting a guy who does the same or worse’. 
    Another common misconception is that simple criticism of the democratic party equates to support for the republican party. It doesn't. It is possible to critique them independently.

    The Olympics' opening ceremony featured a tableau that apparently was reminiscent of "The Last Supper," and folks are big mad about it. Edit to add: Because this was the first time in history that "The Last Supper" had been appropriated in popular culture. /s

    D Vance In 2021: 'We Have To Go To War' Against The Idea That Women Don't Have To Have Kids

    Jennifer Bendery
    Updated Tue, July 30, 2024 at 9:26 PM EDT·4 min read
    Vance39s Strange Parents Proposal
    Scroll back up to restore default view.

    Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick, JD Vance, said in 2021 that “we have to go to war” against the idea that women can decide not to have children, suggesting that someone who focuses on building their career instead of making babies will be “a sad, lonely, pathetic person.”

    In an interview with The Federalist in May 2021, Vance was asked what he thinks conservatives can do to encourage Americans to have more kids. He suggested cultural messaging is key.

    “To be a little stark about this, I think we have to go to war against the anti-child ideology that exists in our country,” said Vance, who is currently the Republican senator from Ohio. 

    Though he generally didn’t specify the gender of the childless people he was criticizing, the context of his remarks made it seem he was primarily speaking to women.

    Citing a conversation that had recently unfolded on Twitter, Vance described a “ridiculous effort by millennial feminist writers” to talk about why there are good reasons not to have children and how some of them were glad they didn’t have kids and even to encourage “people who had had children to talk about why they regretted having children.”

    He ripped these unnamed “mediocre millennial journalists” and suggested that if they’re advocating for women to focus on advancing their careers over making babies, they are “pathetic.”

    “Not enough people have accepted that if they put their entire life’s meaning into their credential, into where they went to school, into what kind of job they have ― if you put all of your life’s meaning into that, you’re going to be the sort of person who asks women to talk about how they regret having children,” Vance said.

    He added, “You’re going to be a sad, lonely, pathetic person and you’re going to know it internally.”

    The GOP vice presidential nominee went on to say that people who have had children “have actually built something more meaningful with their lives,” and that is why “we have to go to war against that ideology and the people behind it.”

    Vance brought up his sister, Lindsay Lewis Ratliff, who he said sometimes wonders aloud if she should have waited to have children. Lewis, who is five years older than him, got married and began having kids while Vance was still living with his grandparents. She is now a mother of three.

    “Sometimes, you know, she’ll say things to me like, ‘You know, maybe I should have delayed having kids. Maybe I should have went to school,’” Vance said. “And it’s like, Lindsay, you’ve been a great mom. Your children are happy. They’re healthy.”

    “People like my sister should not feel like the cultural messaging is ‘your life is inadequate,’” he added. “The people who are sending that message should feel that their life is inadequate. And of course they do. They’re just too ashamed about it to talk about it.”

    Ratliff recently pushed back on people criticizing Vance over other comments he’s made about women and families ― specifically, his claims in 2021 that “childless cat ladies” are “miserable” and have “no direct stake” in America’s future. Ratliff called Vance a “testament to the women in his life.”

    “JD was raised by some of the strongest women I know and went on to marry an incredibly strong woman,” she said in a statement to CNN on Saturday, referring to the candidate’s wife, Usha Vance. “The attacks from the media and Democrats that assume anything otherwise is vile.”

    You can watch Vance’s full interview with The Federalist here. His comments on “going to war” against the idea that women don’t have to have kids begin at the 35:40 time stamp.

    Vance’s insistence that women make babies doesn’t seem to extend to supporting women after they have children or to women struggling with infertility.

    The Ohio Republican has referred to the idea of universal child care as “class war against normal people,” and in June, he voted against the Right to IVF Act, a bill that would have ensured women have a federal right to access reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization.

    Vance’s previous attacks on child-free women have resurfaced in part because he’s now the GOP vice presidential nominee, but also because he lumped Vice President Kamala Harris in as one of the “childless cat ladies.” Harris has two stepchildren in her marriage with second gentleman Doug Emhoff.

    A Trump campaign spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    Where is this insistence of an equivalent you speak of? It seems to me, this false equivalence is evoked by those who only prefer to direct their criticism outwardly. Again, it is possible to critique things independently.

    I assumed his comment was directed at what I said. If it wasn’t, that’s on me. If it was, tell me how my comments point to this equivalency.

    In a sense, yes. Deploying tactics (whether honest or not) to retain/gain control is the goal of both parties. To the previously acceptable extent? No, not that I am aware of. Does this action absolve the democratic party of their hand in current political affairs? We’re talking about a duopoly here, one that breeds skepticism.

    The problem is you (probably intentionally, but I don’t know that for fact) misquoted him to make it sound worse.
    You wrote “she's not white but I love her”

    What he actually said “Look, I love my wife so much. I love her because she’s who she is. Obviously, she’s not a white person, and we’ve been accused, attacked by some white supremacists over that. But I just, I love Usha.”

    He’s defending their relationship against white supremacists. Omitting the middle part and directly connecting the “she’s not white” to the “I love her”like you did changes the tone and meaning.

    You’re taking someone in an interracial marriage and misquote them to make it sound like he’s racist. Seems ironic to me.
    The word “but” doesn’t enter the person’s brain unless they’re validating what the critics said or they themselves think her race is a deficiency. 
    Does this also apply to anyone whose go-to defense is “but trump, or but the republicans” any time someone breaks the cardinal sin of criticizing democrats around here? 
    It depends doesn't it? If you have a problem with a "lie" a democrat told but you don't have a similar problem with a lie that tRump told then yeah...you're going to get comments about that.
    I have a problem with anyone who lies or deceives, party affiliation is irrelevant to me. Criticizing one while giving a pass to the other simply because they suck less doesn't make sense to me. I see a lot of that around here.

    Politicians have always played fast & loose with the truth; having said that, do you think the lies perpetrated by the GOP about our last presidential election and the attempt to get trump back in the White House is just politics as usual? 
    In a sense, yes. Deploying tactics (whether honest or not) to retain/gain control is the goal of both parties. To the previously acceptable extent? No, not that I am aware of. Does this action absolve the democratic party of their hand in current political affairs? We’re talking about a duopoly here, one that breeds skepticism.
    Sure, it’s a duopoly, but one party despite their many, many faults is at least trying to run the federal government, the other is trying to run it into the ground.
    Our country has always had a peaceful transfer of power until 2021, and the GOP are trying to reinstall the main architect of that unrest. Skepticism can be healthy, but when the same guy who tried to overturn the last election is telling us in so many words there won’t be another election after 2024, it would seem wise to dismiss the skepticism & take him at face value; most especially considering SCOTUS’ recent ruling about presidential immunity.
